The inspiration of this outift came with the coat. I had to show it in its best light and tought that a whole white outfit would do it! The golden buttons meant golden accessories with a crochet bag and fringe boots for completion.
The coat is new as you might guess. A closer look is coming tomorrow.

MOODBOARD

Category: Find Your Inspiration!

This time of the year, I'm always drawn to white and like to play with details and make it complicated and yet simple! Love the "white on white" trend and to be able to layer with white...No wonder that these photos that I've saved in my "inspo file" lately are all white!
This is why I decided to do a "white moodboard" to look at, as inpsiration for the coming days! What do you think ?!?

WHITE EMBROIDERY DETAILS

Category: New In

You saw me wearing this shirt here! I got it at Myrorna when I was on a second hand round with my sister the other weekend. It's originally from Vila and I fell inlove with the white embroidery details which gives a great contrast on the black!

via studdedhearts

I am a sucker for crystals you all know that! Guess my reaction when I saw this years Chanel show in Paris! Love what Karl Lagerfeld is doing and how he is reinnovating himself year after year! The subtle Pamela Love inspiration in the jewellry makes it all a tad cooler! ^^

LACE SHORTS - A DIY PROJECT

Category: New In

Bought these shorts from Ellos.se's sale with a plan.
The moment I saw these (<---click) I fell for them, but my economy says no. Then, I remembered that I have this lace curtain that I don't use, so I decided that it's time for a DIY! So, sometime soon I'll have my perfect lace/denim shorts! Wish me luck! ^^

PATTERNED SHORTS

Category: New In

Continuing with the same "patterned spirit" and I tought it is about time to show you my new shorts from Romwe! The moment I saw them I had to have them, it was an instant klick! =) Love the pattern and the mix of colours, and the material is so soft and flowy, I feel like I will live in these when summer comes! Now, all I need is the temperature to rise! ^^

PATTERN @ H&M NEWS

Category: Fashion

H&M's webshop is filled with patterns, and did I mention that I got a thing for patterns lately ?!? Mostly it's paisley, but there are some flowery and stripy patterns and the colour palette goes from bright pastel to a darker mix which I love since it's mixed with yellow!
I already klicked home the patterned skirt (ooops)...can't wait to try it on!!!
How do you feel about pattern ?!?

Was out in the sun today with the b'friend and our puppy who got vaccinated. Such lovely weather we're having! Real spring!
Had forgotten that I had this shirt that I cut off the shoulders from last year and decided to match it with my lovely bolo tie with a blue stone, that matches my nails too ^^ To add some bright on the black, I took my new bag that I bought at Stadsmissionen the other day (close up is coming!), which goes with my fringe boots perfectly!
What do you think ?!?

LONG CROCHET

Category: New In

This dress arrived the other day! I'm completely in love, finally, a longer version of a crochet dress...though, there is this small catch...I'm not used to that length...that goes somewhere between the knees and the ankle...I'm used to dresses that are either looong or short....What do you think...do I keep the length or shorten it...and if I do shorten it, how do I do it without ruining the dress ?!?
Help...I really feel confused abou this one!!!

FRINGE

It's no secret that I looove fringe, always have, and I'm extremely happy that nowadays you can find pieces with fringe as detail everywhere. From boots to jeans, top tops and cardigans and accessories as bags and belts.
It's more frequent on the runway too, wich makes "fringe" more experimental so that it would suit with any style one might have! =)

MY SPRING STYLE CHALLENGE

Category: Fashion

Describe your style?
- Hippie-chic / bohemian with Native American&Western influences =)
Your style icon?
- Abby Lee Kershaw, the Olsen systers, Mandy (Oracle Fox) and Rachel Zoe.
What is your spring inspiration ?
- My favourite blogs, street style, people in town, nature and the styling&editorials of Nastgal.com, Planetblue.com, Spelldesigns.com and Freepeople.com !

Favourite designers and brands?
- I'm a budget girl, so I like H&M, BikBok, Zara and Topshop, but I love the collections od Free People and I love almost everything that Isabel Marant and Balmain create! =)
What trends do you believe in for spring?
- I love the boho/hippie chic style, so a lot of lace, crochet, fringe and denim. Spicy it up with wooden heels or boots, feather jewellery and big, round shades! I won't say no to bell botooms and trashed denim shorts either!
Name one basic, key-piece for spring!
- That has to be that jacket! As I've already mentioned before, a jacket can make so much for an outfit! The four on the collage above are options I would love to have in my closet for spring!
What are your spring colours?
- White, white and then some more white! All shades of brown, black and denim blue! If I get a bit daring, I would also go for mint green and citrus yellow!
Ideal outfit for spring
- Same as last year, all white or denim shorts+fringe top+boots or lace/crochet/fringe dresses with wooden wedges or boots and so on and so on...
Shoes or bags?
- Both, since they make an outfit complete!
Do's and dont's
- Don't dress after a trend just because it is a trend. Mix and macth the trends you like with the favourites from your closet and have fun while doing it! It doesn't matter what others think of your outfit as long as you love it and feel comfortable in it! You look beautiful anyways! =)
Your latest purchase?
- Was this lovely fringe bag on the picture above! Have been looking for the perfect fringe bag a while now!
Name four things on your spring wishlist:
- A white lace dress, a brown suede, fringe jacket, Jeffrey Campell Lita Taupe and a pair of crochet shorts!
H&M; Etsy.com; Henrykole.se; Zara.com

Now, tell me about your spring style! ^^

BUCKLE UP !

Category: Fashion

I love belts! They are the thing that make the outfit complete (in my opinion) and can often "save" an outfit! Mark your waist or your hips, it works any way!
The belt is coming back big time this spring/summer and here are some that I wouldn't mind having in my closet!
What do you think? Do you wear belts or will you start wearing ?!?
