Found this little sparkly thing in a second hand shop a while ago! Sequins always remind me of cool parties, when everybody dresses up and sparkle, like on New Year's Eve :) I fell for the golden bling bling immediately and it didn't take longer since I love vests! The perfect accessorie for a simple outfit; a tee, pair of jeans, good belt, a pair of cool boots and then just turn up the volume by adding the statement vest. Wether it is a sequin, fringe or a vest with a cool print - it always works!
I love my little party starter - what do you think?
My past week through Instagram. I finally did my exam, celebrated Halloween and welcomed November. I've also started to do some art and in the collage above you can see some of the pieces I've done. Follow me there: @ivannascloset.
" Ten thousand blossoms in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life..."
If you have read my recent "Autumn Style list" you would have definitely have seen these babies and known that I have been watching them for a while! I couldn't get them out of my had and started to plan how I was going to style them in different outfits - bad, since those thoughts, whenever they come up - they result in purchase!
How amazing arent they! Love everything, from the model, hight of the heel as well as, probably the most important part ;), the ethnic inspired pattern, in perfect combo of colours, patched to the brown suede.
Can't wait to give them a walk, since theese babies are definitely made for walking! ;)
The last week was pretty awesome and here is what I captured with Instagram! Celebrated my sister's birthday, she turned 20, no more teenager! =) I played with nailpolish and enjoyed the lovely autumn colors. For a perfect ending I made a cake for the first time in my life ;) to celebrate my lovely b'friend's birthday!

After I wrote this sentence: " As my love for paisley grows, so does the number of paisley printed garments in my closet. " in this post here (click), I decided to actually check this out and this collage shows the result! I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised since I've "covered" quite a wide range of pieces, don't you think? ;)
I love the pailsey print! Love that it starts as a one small, tear drop, which meets with her sisters and together they create a lovely and colorful pattern. Since I love styling outfits with patterned pieces, the paisley is always an obvious choise! ;)
As my love for paisley grows, so does the number of paisley printed garments in my closet. As I already mentioned it here, the newest addition is this new blouse from Ellos.se. Fell for the print and the color combinations the moment I saw it! Then, the collar of the shirt is quite unusual and I like that. This will be the perfect way to add some boho-vibe into a simple outfit! ;)
The past week through my Instagram lens. Some of our sunflowers that grew on our balcony blossomed (in the middle of October!) and are now shining bright in our living room. Bought a lovely, bell-sleeved blouse from H&M and wore it at my sister's b-day party! It's been a lovely week which we are now ending listening to Led Zeppelin!
I love "do-it-yourself". I love seeing other people do it and get inspired to try on my on, or just starting up my own projects and putting my vision to reality. I feel so crafty after completing a project and that ,makes me feel great, I've acomplished something. I share my passion for "DIY" with the b'friend, who is excellent in playing with wire and certain objects, like crystals and different precious stones and pendants.
Here is what we have created recently (you can see some other jewelry here) and we have more projects going on, some of which will be for you ;), but more on that later!
It's actually more of an "autumn/winter" style list, but since winter is not here yet..."my autumn style list" it is! =) What my autumn staple piece is, what I'll be accessorizing with this season, what materials I like to mix or what color on my nails I'm going to wear this winter...you can read about all of this below. Enjoy!
PIECE OF CLOTHING
When autumn arrives, my starting pint of an outfit is this thought: "What jacket am I wearing today?" And at the end, it all really comes to the jacket, weather it's raining, blowing, or if it's sunny, but still crispy in the air. Jackets are my autumn staple piece. Since it is the thing everyone notices the first time they see you, it's important to leave a good impression =)
The jacket above is my absolute favorite! Got it from Laredoute.cse last year and I completely love it...especially the print!
BAG
Nothing new at the "bag-front" here, it's still fringe that is the "key-word", this time you can also add, suede, tassels and beads, as my new beauty from Madlady.se is a favorite!
SHOES
Until winter oficially arrives and everything is covered in snow and it's time to activate my beloved Dr. Marten's, I'll spend my autumn in my ankle boots. Most often, they have a cowboy touch - and studs or chains as decoration. On the photo above you see my newest and best pair of cowboy boots - deffinitely spending my autumn in them!
ACCESSORIES
My favorite autumn accessories are the "head pieces". I love wearing hats and autumn is the perfect season for my favorite, fedora hat. Then, as we go into winter I like to mix it up with knitted headbands or beanies!
This knitted headband is new and it's from GinaTricot.
JEWELRY
This season is all about layering necklaces. It's my new thing...I went from wearing one statement necklace, to layering two or three, small chain necklaces. I also discovered that when you get the trick with layering necklaces, you can get more daring - and start mixing statement pieces as well. It's so much fun and you can always express your style or send a message with a broad variety of pendants.
OUTFIT
blouse&boots&ring with red stone - Topshop.com; hat - GinaTricot; necklace - Forever21.com; jeans - Lindex; feather ring - H&M; bag - Karmastyle.se
I made this collage in September last year (here) and as I was going through my archive, searching for some inspiration, I saw it again. This is a typical autumn/winter outfit for me. A lace blouse, paired with patched jeans (or flares), lots of jewelry, a statement bag and cool boots. So, no wonder that last year's autumn inspiration outfit is as well, this year's outfit inspo! =)
STYLE INSPIRATION
I'm usually inspired by the nature, people on the street, certain mix of pattern and color that I see while passing by the trees. I also love getting inspiration from my favorite labels, their look books as well as the posts on their blogs. The photo above is from Free People's September Look Book and it describes exactly how I want to look this season.
LATEST PURCHASE
My love for paisley print is growing every day and I always get inspired whenever I see this print, wether it's on a piece of clothing, wall paper or a nice cup, it alays has my sensors sunning. So when I saw this blouse at Ellos.se I couldn't resist it! Loved the color palette ( so right now, right!) and the collar, then I imagined it with a pair if flared jeans, lots of bangles and necklaces, a fringe vest and before you knew it - I had clicked it home! ;)
WANTED
As I've already said, jackets are my favorite to wear during this season and that is why they need to be a bit more special. I want a jacket similar to the one on the left to be my bff during the cold days of this season. It breathes the real 70's bohemian vibe and that just makes me go bananas for it! I found this one on Etsy.com, but it had sold out! If you know where I can find one like the one above, or you have a jacket like this and are selling, please contact me: [email protected], since I've been looking for a jacket like this for a month now and still can't find one!
The boots, on the other hand, are from Laredoute.se and they have a special place in my heart from the moment I saw them. Seriously, what's not to love about them? Hopefully they'll be on my feet pretty soon! ;)
NAILPOLISH
It's no secret that I love nailpolish, but I noticed that recently I'm drawn to two shades moslty. These are shades of brown and blue. On the photo above you see all the version of brown and blue polishes I have and love wearing. Gold, copper, cream or hazelnut work great, as well as turquoise, teal, mint or deep, royal blue.
What color is the nailpolish you'll be wearing this season ?!?
I challenge everyone who has read this list to make their own, if you want and feel like it of course, and than share the link of your post in a comment below - I'd love to read your autumn style lists!
" A combination of blue and a small amount of yellow, it fits in on the color scale between green and blue. It radiates the peace, calm and tranquility of blue and the balance and growth of green with the uplifting energy of yellow.This is a color that recharges our spirits during times of mental stress and tiredness, alleviating feelings of loneliness. You only have to focus on the color turquoise, whether on a wall or clothing and you feel instant calm and gentle invigoration, ready to face the world again! "
