We seem to be smack in the middle of flu season and so I'm sure I'm not the only one who has homewear on her mind, especially around the weekends. You know: hair up, bra off.. and also, possibly, this: D.S. & Durga portable fireplace scented candle, Ray-Ban round metal eyeglasses, IMIXID cassette tape player, Pamela Love 'Moon Age' gold-plated ring, Kikki K. rollerball pen, Calvin Klein Underwear printed cotton-flannel pajama shirt, Calvin Klein Underwear pajama pants, Greenterior book, Anthropologie monogrammed mug (A to Z) and UGG Australia fur slippers - Have a good weekend everyone!

A little overview of the first month of 2016, which I personally thought was a pretty good month, although not wintery enough by far. I am a winter person, I love when the cold slaps you in the face, the days are short and you need three extra blankets to stay warm at night. So the 12 degrees Celcius we've been having these past few weeks are not really doing it for me.
But Awards Season is in full swing and I'm happy to see Leo collecting all his well-deserved statues. 'The Revenant' is the only Oscar nominated film that has impressed me this season anyway, so far. And while the rest of the world seems to be making a big fuss about the #OscarsSoWhite issue, what I really worry about is the fact that not one tv channel over here is even broadcasting the Oscars this year. - I knooooow.
I've also tried to keep up with all the Pre-Fall 2016 collections that have been presented over the past few months and after the spectacle of the Haute Couture shows last week I feel I am now ready for the upcoming Fall 2016 fashion weeks. I don't think I'll have time to attend any myself this season but I am all prepared to have my social media accounts clog up with streetstyle photos again and for vogue.com to bring me my daily dose of fresh inspiration. Naturally I'll share some of it on here later.
As for my own outfits lately - I am in the middle of a big renovation project and so I've been spending a lot of time dressed in my oldest and most comfortable clothing. Usually topped off with a beanie and, more often than I would like to admit, with a pair of Uggs. And I love having an excuse to not make an effort, if I'm totally honest.

Haute Couture Spring 2016
Like a kid in a candy store I've been once again trying to pick my favourite looks from the Haute Couture Spring 2016 fashion shows which were presented in Paris earlier this week. Imagining myself being sophisticated enough to pull off a Chanel Couture, dreaming of attending the Oscars in a Valentino (those loose shapes and yummy textures!) and wondering if I would have enough glamour in me to ever rock one of those Elie Saab "Indian princess" looks..?

Pretty cold
Ganni coat, COS jeans, Jimmy Choo boots, Celine bag and Weekday beanie hat
This week we finally had some proper winter temperatures. I've been wishing for snow real hard as well but unfortunately that seemed a bit too much to ask. I'm not a fan of what the wintery cold does to my hair (fluffy and no volume!) and my skin (dry and spotty!) but otherwise I really can't get enough of it. I can't say that I put much thought into my outfits at all this time of the year, though, but thankfully it's "coat season" and so that's the only item that really matters now anyway. all images by Paul for Fash n Chips
