You haven't forgotten that I'm selling some pieces from my wardrobe?!? A lot of tops, pants, accessories and shoes are to be found at shopivannascloset.blogg.se! Most of them are as good as new, since I've probably worn them couple of times or never - all for a nice price! I've got some more that I need to put up there, but most of it is already uploaded so you can go and raid my closet here (<--- click!)

You saw some of my handmade jewelry here, but I tought I'll give you a closer look to this beaded necklace that I love so much! It is actually inspired by a necklace I saw at spelldesigns.com (here), but when I wanted to order, it was already sold out. When I received the beads couple of weeks ago, and when I saw the wooden ones, I decided that I can make one (a smilar one) myself! The tassel is also handmade, with knitting threads and I used a turquoise bead and cross instead of  a turquoise stone!

I think it turned out pretty good and I like it so much I'm afraid I will use it too much! What do you think sweeties ?!?

 

Voilá! This is some of the jewelry that I made this weekend with the help of my b'friend! I'm so satisfied and love all of these, especially the long necklace with the white tassel! It's really all I love when it comes to jewelry, chunky, layerable, turqoise, whites, wooden beads, tassels, skulls, crosses... This really helped getting my creativity going, so I think I'll order some more beads and extra material so I can start doing some more!

I also managed to make one each for my sisters and two more. Those two I've intnded to give to you, my amazing readers and followers, but I wanted to ask you first, if you all are interested in winning a bracelet made by me? 

I've been waiting for this for such a long time! The latest Isabel Marant collection has been quite a success everywhere, especially for the budget stores, which have been trying to offer "close to the original" alternatives for a much lower price. Here, in Sweden brands like Gina Tricot, Bik Bok and Cubus have tried this option and succedded, while I sat back and wondered why isn't H&M signing up for this as well! 

It didn't take long anyways, since these are some of the pieces that I found in H&M's press gallery of what is up to come! And do I dare say "OMG! I need all of them!", but these are deffinitiely some of the best pieces so far! 

On my wishlist you'll find: the jacket (!!!), the suede, fringe shorts, the lace blouse, the black cowboy shirt and the hat! What are your wishlist items if you have any ?!?

 

I really can't stop thinking about these Jeffrey Campbell boots and if I had them, this is one of the ways I'll wear them! I realize now that I like them much more because of the dark, chockolate brown leather mixed with golden studs! Actually, I'm really into that combination on any piece according to the collage and I think it's prety hot and spot on for this season! 

 

Now that fall is deffinitely here to stay (it has been raining non-stop for the last two days), I'm longing for summer even more than before!!! So typical me! Anyways, something I'm always trying to achieve is to keep the "summer" in my outfits even during fall and winter time! That is really challenging, especially when living in cold and rainy Sweden, but I like challenges!  I love wearing white, lace, crochet and fringe and just those factors alone (which are the key-words in any true hippie/gypsy/bohemian soul's closet) are enough for an outfit to feel easy and summery! Don't get me wrong here, I love wearing cosy knits, but they are always fullfilled with some of the four factors above, to help me keep the summer in my outfits! =)

I love knitted sweaters and cardigans durinf the fall/winter period! It's easy to layer, or to wear alone to feel cosy and warm! Every winter I renew my closet with knits, fuzzy, sparkled, printed or cable-knitted...this year won't be any different, especially when the stores are filled with so many pretty pieces!

Model: Anja Konstantinova; Styling: Ashley Glorioso; Photography: Zoey Grossman

The amazing pieces of For Love and Lemons latest holiday line, the hands and eye of a capable stylist and photographer gave birth to yet another amazing editorial / lookbook! I love the prints and patterns, the strong make up, the bleached eyebrows and the luxurious, but oh-so-bohemian pieces! Breathtaking!

Just when I think I'm done with boots (for a while that is, I'll never be done with boots ;) these appear! Love the distressed brown paired with the shaded golden studs and chains! A cowboy boot gone modern! Love the low shaft and the high heel, not so often you see a cowboy boot without a pointy toe and high heels here in Sweden! 

Jeffrey Campbell is the name behind these beauties and you'll find them at Solestruck.com! Too bad they are out of my price range at the moment...but when I can, I would deffinitely click them home since they are THE perfect boot if you ask me!!!

Brown accessories, mixed with silver jewlery with turquoise stones, shells, crazy, coloured pattern and denim! Those are today's details...what do you think ?!?

Here is the most perfect jacket/coat for fall (beginning of winter;)! Found it at Laredoute.se and it was meant to be. That simple! Love the mix of colours, the Navajo-inspired print, the materail and the wrap-model! We'll be friends for a long time, I guarantee you that! =)

What do you think babes ?!?

Some of my most recent outfits! It is clear that fall has arrived and there's no bright spot in the future that says the I can wear dresses/skirts/shorts withouth stockings anymore! But, hey, that gives the oportunity of playing with layers, cool jeans/pants and knits! 

Anyways... do you have any favourite ?!?

Here they are! The top nine photos from my Instagram from this week! Hope you aren't forgetting to check the slide show with all my Insta-photos on the side bar to the right...or, if you want to, you can follow me there, @ivannascloset!

As you might have notices (haha) I'm totally fallen for the bohemian / hippie style and those are the two words I am confident in using when describing my style. I've found my style, but my personality there as well! Just because I use those two words together a lot, I tought I could give you some tips of how you can use accessories to make your outfit look more bohemian or hippie! 

The key words (all according to me) are: fringe, feathers, beads, turquoise; braids, suede and brown! Some might even say gold, but I like to mix there and think that even silver, black and studs can be bohemian when styled "properly"! Bright colours and pattern like paisley, tye-dye and even Native American prints are a part of the signature style! 

You don't necesserily have to wear flares, bell-armed shirts and crazy patterned tops if you don't want to, but a feather necklace or earrings, a fringe bag, a brown braided bag and a big, floppy hat would do the trick! 

As you all know for sure, the "small" details as the accessories are the one that make or breake the outfit!

You remember when I tipsed you about a new web-shop that I found through Facebook (here) called karmastyle.se? Well...I checked it again today and found that it's been updated and it's now filled with a lot of new pieces! I absolutely love the home-decoration section and I think that soon enough I'll be getting one of those bed spreads for our bedroom!!! Then let's talk about the lovely, embelished cushions (which, btw. cost half the price cushions like that cost in other stores!). 

The great thing about Karmastyle is that they sell the most amazing bags with lovely decorations which are perfect for us with a hippie/bohemian style and for all of us who carry a bunch of stuff everyday!!! You can also find a lot of pretty jewelry and clothes! 

I strongly recommend you to have a look at the web-shop as well as their Facebook page (here) !!!

One thing from my Autumn wish list is now crossed over thanks to my sister! This is actually a late birthday present for her and I absolutely love it! =) The one who waits for something good .... right ?!?

Anyways, I love the material, the native print patches and I think we have a bright future together! What do you think babes ?!?

After going through a lot of "should I...shouldn't I", I've decided to sell my Antik Batik, real leather boots I bought at Laredoute.se! They've been worn just a couple of times so they are as good as new! The size is 37. The original price is ca. 1200 SEK, but I'm selling them for 500 SEK or 59 euros (plus shipping).

If you are interested e-mail me at: [email protected]

I've never felt like this for a pair of jeans before! Love the cut, the print and the fact that they hug my legs in the best way possible! A clear favourite in my closet!

Native prints, friendship bracelets, golden rings, feathers and brown leather are today's details...what do you think guys ?!?

This is one of the first a/w lookbooks that Spelldesigns released and I'm completely fallen for it! I love absolutely everything the amazingly creative Australian duo of sister make! Too bad I can't always afford most of the pieces because of my student economy, but you can always dream can't you ? Well, one of my dreams actually came true! 

From the first time I saw that pheasant feather inspired patterned skirt I wanted to have it, and a week ago I receive the best e-mail ever! Namely, I've won it from the August giveaway the girls were having on their blog! What a great birthday present, don't you agree ?!? Well, the skirt is on its way to me now and I can't wait until it arrives! =)

From GinaTricot! I love the small sheriff badges =)

Found these yesterday while browsing through Gina Tricot's web-shop! I've wanted one like these for such a long time, and since I'm in my creative mode at the moment, I immediately came up with several ways of how to decorate them so they'll be more "me". However, I've got a really hard time deciding which colour I should get (as always) I'll wait a while before I make the purchase! 

Anyways here is a tip to you guys! What do you think ?!?

Remember the "at the moment" list I did for spring and summer (here)? I decided it is time to do one for fall as well. So, here it goes!

 

I'm still holding to my summer crochet and lace dresses and I plan to layer them with cozy, knitted cardigans and sweaters, match them with boots and hats, until it gets really, really cold! 

 

Besides my fringe and furry friends, I will also be truthful to my native printed bag from Ellos.se! Basically all with suede detailing, studs, fringe and emroidery will work!

 

Do I really need to say something here ?!? =) It's all boots when you ask me. Cowboy boots or MC-inspired ones, brown leather or suede, fringe or pattern, it all works for me! I will be wearing all the closet favourites, according to the weather that is! =)

 

As I've alredy mentioned before, I have my periods when it comes to accessories! This time, it's the belt! Wide ones and "normal-sized" ones, with fringe, feahter buckles or western inspired... A belt can be the cherrie on the top for a whole outfit if you ask me! 

 

If the belt is the accessorie I'm going crazy for, the shirt is the piece of clothing I crave in every shape and colour this fall! The best options would be denim shirts, shirts with native patches or embroidering or a western inspired one....or all of them...you get it! =) These two from Gina Tricot are high up on the wishlist! =)

 

As some of you might know already, I'm not a big trend follower! I like to take out the bits and pieces from the current trends and turn them into my style, so that they could fit me and my personality! You'll see me wearing fringe, denim, crochet and lace paired with chunky knits and boots during this fall and winter as well! 

 

Nothing new on this front either! It will either be long and wavy, or up in a high ponytail and wavy again! I'm a big fan of hats and head-pieces, so there will be alot of that this season too! =)

 

It's always foundation and mascara when it comes to everyday make up, for a natural look, but for a special occassion I've always had a black eye-liner. This summer, while in Macedonia, I tried my sister's turquoise-blue eye-liner and fell for it! So I'll deffinitiely try to brighten up my days (read nights) with a blue eye-liner instead of a black one! =)

 

With the arrival of fall I've become more drawn to the darker colours when it comes to nail-colour!  My season favourites are dark bown, burgundy and deep forest green!

Here are three outfits from September last year which I would wear this September as well! This is what I usually do when the inspiration is not on top, go into my archives and look at outfits and inspirational pictures that I've posted in prevous months and year to get that inspiration back on top again! Must admit that my inspiration has lost its way these days...hope it comes back soon! =)

The past week thorugh my Instagram! Don't forget to follow me there (@ivannascloset) or to check out the slide show with all my Insta-photos on the side bar to the right! =)

One thing I love about fall/winter is all the cozy sweaters and cardigans we get to wear and layer with lace dresses, sheer shirts and tops! This year I believe strongly in cable knits (as always) in white, beige, moustard yellow and burgundy! Another thing that is strongly coming this season is the fringe knits and we've got Isabel Marant to thank for that! I really want a knitted, fringe sweater and that one from BikBok is a really good option! The last, but not the least are the patterned ones! Oh yes! Love that one from Cubus, since I love native prints, but geometric ones, with a great mix of colours work as well!

Here comes some very needed outfit inspiration for the fall. My head is still stuck in summer-mode and it has been really hard for me to accept that the summer is gone and fall has already arrived! So, I would really like to continue wearing shorts and boots (no stockings underneath!), this would look really cool when paired with a long cardigan like on the first photo. Why not keep the summer dress/skirt, but add a chunky knit on top to keep warm and layer onerknee socks with high boots! A perfect fall outfit, just like the last one! As I've probably mentioned, it's very easy for me to wear all black, but, since I'm very concious about that, a pair of great boots, in colour, a denim shirt or any western inspired one and a cool bag will turn the putfit from boring to cool! 

What do you think ?!?

Got this necklace from Romwe the other week and I love it! The peace pendant paired with the golden tassel and the coloured beads are amazing! Love the mix and I can't wait to use the necklace! =)

What do you think sweeties ?!? 

I've started to say yes to prints and patterns since fall last year! That is what I'll take with me this fall as well! Shirts and blouses, tops and cardigans, skirts, dresses, pants, bags, boots....you get the point! It's so easy to make a boring, "all black outfit" into a fun and exciting one by throwing on a cool printed jacket or a cardi! Don't you think ?!?

I wanted to encourage all of you to dare print so I made this inspirational collage above! What do you think ?!?

 

I really fell for these jeans when I saw them at Lindex.se! Love the tight fitting and the patches give it a really cool, relaxed and a hippie touch! They are the perfect, every-day blue jeans with a twist! They also look like a pir of jeans from Freepeople.com! Anyways, this is how I'd match them! Wuth a lace embroidered, white blouse, lot of jewelry like long necklaces, many rings and bracelets, a sloppy hat and a pair of velvet, cowboy inspired boots. To add on the hippie-bohemian vibe this paisley patterned bag in vibrent colours is perfect! Love how spacy it is, the braided handles and the long tassel!

What do you think sweeties ?!?

Found these belts at alottalove.se and fell for the "small" detail as the golden feather buckle! I really like the black&gold version, since all the black belts I have are paired with silver! Eventhough, the white version is really pretty as well! Whish one should I get? What do you think ?!?

 

Fall is knocking on the door and is coming slowly, but fall is also the perfect time of the year to wear hats. Yeah, bad hair days too! Anyways, I found this web-shop a while ago and find it to be very inspiring! Not only the hats (which are handmade) are amazing, with all the beads, coins and ribbons, but the styling of the lookbook is to-die-for! Love the hippie-bohem-chic feel throught the shots!

Anyways, here are some pieces that I wanted to click home so badly...but I was a good girl this time and held my money to myself! =)

I wouldn't mind pairing that lace skirt with the feather necklace, though! =)

Last week I found a new web-shop for both clothing and home decoration pieces! You can check their Facebook page here. I was shocked by how many beautiful things they had and I never knew about it! Everything is handmade in India and it's fairtraded! 

I tought I'll give you a tip about their home-decoration first! Love all the elephant figurines and that wing-chime is so cute, I want one at home now! I've also made it a point to buy one of those bedspreads for our bedroom, but can't decide if I want the one on the left or the one on the right! What do you think guys ?!?

To see more of the pieces go here: karmastyle.se

You've seen me wear this bag in some of my latest outfits! It's a birthday present from the b'friend! I'm incredibly inlove with it! Love the print, the suede details, the space it has although it doesn't look so spacy! It's deffinitely a new favourite and you'll see a lot of it this fall! =)

Here comes a bunch of photos from my Instagram from this past week! I must admit that I really love Instagram and am kind of addicted! I like the functions it has, the fact that you can share photos, events, food and toughts with other people from all around the world! =)

You can find me there if you search for @ivannascloset, but if you don't have an Instagram account you can always check out the slide show on the right, with all my instagram photos! =)

These rings are a present from Nelly.com! On my birthday, couple of weeks ago, I received a gift card of 75 SEK to buy something for my self for my birthday! I must say I was pleasantly surprised and I immeditely put these in my shopping cart, since I've had my eye on them for a long time! =) Really like them! So, thanks Nelly.com! =)

What do you think sweeties? 

You all know that I love accessories! Belts, boots, bags and a lot of jewelry! Here are some detail shots from some of my latest outfits! I really like them all, how about you ?!?

Here is my last purchase from Macedonia! I found it completely at random, while browsing through a full rack of belts...it was the last one and I had to ask for help to get it out! Anyways...I went ba-na-nas over it and had to have it! Love the fringe, the shape, the size, the studs...yeah, everything!
