Look #1- Casual Christmas 

Hello gorgeous! 

Happy Monday! 

She has been taking the fashion world by storm, with super fashionable street-style looks that have everyone swooning! 

Can you guess who I am talking about? Yup, it's Taylor Swift! 

I have been using her looks as inspiration for my daily looks for months now - they are just that fantastic! 

I re-created 7 of my favorite looks from her, so you have enough inspiration for a whole week! 

Monday! 

This look is pretty simple and classic, with staple pieces we all have already in our wardrobes. Stripes and trench coats are really in this season, and the safest and easiest way to style those trends is to pair them with neutral items. You'll look fashionable and be as comfortable as can be! The stripped shirt is by H&M , the trench coat is by Uniqlo , the skinny jeans are by The Hut , the combat boots are by YouHeShe. The gorgeous bag is by Asos , the scarf is from Monsoon , the gold rings are by F21 and the silver ones are by Asos. Finally, to add a punch of color to the look, I added a fall favorite of mine, a Nars lipstick in Bette, a gorgeous burgundy long lasting lipstick! 

We all know not everyone has Californian Fall weather, so wearing skirts during this time of the year can be quite tricky (and chilly!). However, F/W trends made it slightly easier for us - over the knee boots and socks are TOTALLY in (the pair of socks I chose is by H&M). Another trend this season is TARTAN! How gorgeous is this tartan skirt by Avenue 32?! To spice it up, I paired the skirt with a burgundy cropped t-shirt by JCrew and a grey tweed coat by She Inside. For shoes, these ankle booties by The Iconic will keep your feet warm and help elongate your legs. I kept everything else simple, with a gorgeous bag by Mimco , a chain necklace by H&M , a simple watch by American Apparel, big black sunnies by Mango and a gorgeous cranberry lip cream by NYX (Monte Carlo)! 

We're getting into the more edgy looks - YAY! A re-occurring trend this season is flannel! And I LOVE flannel. I kept the color scheme a bit dark, with tons of black and pleather. I also decided to add another flannel printed item, with a totally different color scheme, so it really pops against the dark hues. The shirt is from Uniqlo , the skinny jeans are from H&M , the jacket is from Chicnova, the booties are from Black Five and the backpack is from Forever 21! 

4th look! This look is still edgy, but combines the boyfriend jeans trend and camel - a neutral color that is super in! I really really love how this look came out! The camel sweater is from Mango, the awesome jeans are from Chicnova and so is the leather jacket (linked above). The GORGEOUS boots are from Oasap and this breathtaking bag is by Dolce & Gabanna . For accessories, I edged it up, with la bunch of black and gold! The fedora is from Black Five , the sunnies are from Ray Ban , the earrings are from Last Call, the necklace is from Boticca , the rings are from New Look and the watch is from Asos . Makeup wise, I kept it simple with this buttery lipstick by NYX in the shade Gumdrop 

Look 5: Grey Scale

I was thinking about doing an "all-black" look. But then it hit me that doing a grey scale look -in honor of the new 50 Shades of Gray trailer- CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT?!! Dark grey (and black!) on the bottom, to slim down the leg and make you look taller and lighter hues as we go up, with the lightest (and even white) hues being on the accessories! This is a full proof yet fashionable look! Going from darkest to lightest, the boots are from Dr. Martens, the skinny jeans are from H&M, the t-shirt is from La Garçonne, and the gorgeous warm coat is from Chicnova.

Hello gorgeous! 

I'm very excited to announce that Autumn is just around the corner! I mean... seriously where did 2014 go? 

I decided to make a mood board for you guys with 5 Autumn essential pieces that will get you cozy and ready for the Sweater Weather. 

Also, I'll show you a few of my tricks to be warm and save some money while doing it, so stay tuned till the end to find out ;) 

So... a day in the life of an European around July would be a day filled with sun light and Summer heat, wearing lightweight dresses and sandals, hair down with a flower crown, or in a more Parisian style, trés chic! 

Well.... not today. It's raining, it's cloudy, very cloudy, very grey. I mean, it's July! Something's clearly wrong here! 

But anyways, I had to run some errands, and , because it's supposed to be summer, pretty much all my warmer clothes were put away, so my options were not so many. However, I was able to build an outfit that is comfy, warm and very effortless wit the little only 2 fall/winter pieces of clothing! 

I started off with a crisp white button up blouse, and a pair of light washed jeans, with a more loose fitting. I tucked in the blouse on one side and well, if it was a sunny day, I'd just put on sunglasses and sandals and I'd be out the door! But, for this particular day, that just wouldn't work. 

I threw on a dark, gem-like, green cozy and droopy cardigan with a pair of black ankle booties, that worked perfectly with my rolled up jeans. Easy, right? 

For my bag, a simple black bag just wasn't doing anything for me, so a black and white stripped bag spiced up the look for me. 

As far as makeup goes, I didn't have much time at all, so my focus was mainly on my skin, lashes and lips. Powder foundation, rosy cheeks, big lashes (waterproof mascara, ALWAYS!) and a nice rosy lips should seriously be everyone's most simple and quick makeup look, I mean... it's just that easy!

Hello gorgeous!

Summer is finally here and with it come summer nights and vacations. 

If you're like me, you'll tend to over pack, and I mean it in the " I can't zip up my suitcase" kind of way!!
Luckily for you I came up with a set that includes more than enough: a selection of clothing and accessories that will not fail you, no matter where you're going! All the items will be linked down bellow so make sure to read everything! 

To start packing, you have to think about 3 important things: the climate of the place you're going, how long you're staying and what you actually really do need. 

In this case, I prepared looks for (at least) 7 days of vacation, with hot weather. 

Tops: I chose 4 tops. You really want to go for something light, fresh, flow-y and with visual interest in them. 

In a hot weather, you don't want to bring necklaces and bracelets, because with the heat and the sweat, those are the last things you want getting in your way. Therefore, a vibrant colored top, or a top with print or detailing are amazing ways to embellish yourself and still look fashionable. Most of the tops I chose are quite fresh, but I made sure to include a light weight soft sweater, in case you're hanging by the beach at night, or you're just going out in a more casual way. 

Dresses: I also included 3 dresses. A longer , more chic one, perfect for a night date; a more simple one, that can either be worn out and about or as a beach cover up, and a more interesting fun dress, for a day out! 

Bottoms: I have 4 bottoms. Yes, it might sound a bit excessive, but trust me, it will make sense! One of the shorts I chose are actually beach shorts, so I wouldn't totally recommend you use them outside the beach environment, since they might not be as flattering and chic. For the rest, light denim was my main priority. I chose a skater denim skirt, loose fitting shorts and loose fitting pants, cuffed on the bottom. The number of outfits you can create is up to your creativity! 

Shoes: It might seem really hard to pack up shoes when you're going in vacation, but honestly, it couldn't be easier! A pair of flip flops for the beach, 2 pairs of comfy neutral sandals and a pair of neutral high heels. Those last 3 pairs will go perfectly with any kind of look you create, from the most casual ones to the more glamorous night ones. 

Accessories, beach wear and bags: It's pretty obvious that if you're going to a place where you plan on sun tanning or swim, you'll need a bikini or a bathing suit. I chose one of each, because you'll never know what kind of mood you'll be in! For accessories, I kept it very simple: a pair of sunglasses, a flower head band (to keep your locks out of your pretty face!) and a pair of simple stud earrings. For the bags, a nice big bag that doubles as a beach bag and a cute clutch is all you really need! 

Tops: Printed - Miss Selfridge ; Orange - Romwe ; White - H&M ; Yellow - H&M

Dresses: Long - Net A Porter ; Cover up - Made Well ; Colorful - Nelly 

Bottoms: Beach - H&M ; Shorts - Monki ; Skirt - Delias ; Pants - The Outnet

Shoes:  Beige  and White - 2 Bbebe ; Heels - Asos ; Flip Flops - Havaianas

Accessories: Bathing suit - The Outnet ; Bikini - Delias ; Sunglasses - Oasap ; Crown - H&M ; Earrings - Zalando ; Tote - Mod Cloth ; Clutch - Gap

Have a wonderful day!
