Surrender

Woop woop, how are you guys coping out there in dreadfully wet, chilly and windy England at the moment? Getting dressed for these lower temperatures that comes with a certain rain guarantee in mid July is so not inspiring and it feels like we’re in some sort of limbo. Well I surrender and have booked myself away from London most of August, so heavily needed!

Last week we had one day though with tendencies of clear skies, and I dared to step out in this outfit and left my jacket and umbrella at home, however by 4pm it was pouring down again, what can I say. I wore shirt by Daniel Silver for Acne, Topshop dungarees, shoes Celine, bag by Givenchy, watch Tagheuer, necklace Tiffany’s, bracelet by Cooee and Ray Ban’s.

Nerdy stuff

Friday, the best day of all weekdays, and I’ve spent it desperately trying to save what was left of my Macbook who’s hard drive all of a sudden crashed earlier this week. Now it all lies in the hands of the helpful geeky fairies who gave me a status score that sounded promising enough to make me cope through this weekend. Lesson learned? New back-up routines starting right now.

Speaking of nerdy stuff I’m totally in love with my new glasses, and as we apparently don’t need sunglasses any longer in London(!), the timing of getting them couldn’t have been better. I wore this outfit earlier this week, jumper from Topshop, jeans by Current/Elliott, shoes Zara, watch by Michael Kors, bracelet Cooee, bag Celine and glasses by Mykita.

Happy Friday eve and stay safe!

Crash

 Vogue Paris

Yesterday my good old Mac decided to call it a day, followed by me being close to several heart attacks and 4 days of waiting for service  at the genius bar, where hopefully some of my not-yet-backed-up-files can be restored, nerve-wracking!!!

Well well, not much too do about it now, so here’s what I wore last day of couture last week, easy-breezy relaxing, thank you Vogue for featuring me!
I wore trousers by Isabel Marant, lace tee by Acne, sandals Prada, bag by Celine, bracelets Cooee and Ray Ban’s.

Daria + Celine

In courtesy of Celine

A veteran by now and one of my favorite models, Daria Werbowy, fronts another of  Celine’s campaigns, this time around she’s the face of the fall campaign, a perfect match as usual I’d say!

Multitasking

Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, I for sure did though I’ve been on the run most of the time and tomorrow morning at 7am my train leaves for Paris. Now the inevitable, the thing I despise more than anything else, packing! Keeping one eye on the EURO final doesn’t make it any easier, wish me good luck and I’ll see you in Paris.

Todays outfit, oversized knit from Topshop, leather skirt Karl, ballerinas by Theyskens’ Theory and bag Celine.

Breeze


It’s Saturday morning again and I can’t get my head around how fast this week has passed. Some of you may have noticed my-not-so-regular-posts this week and I’m really sorry for that, but I’ve had a million things to do that needed to be finished off before this weekend, and sadly my dear blog have taken the effect,  but I hope to make it up here in terms of content and enthusiasm. On Monday morning I’m heading over to Paris couture weekend to soak up all the beauty and I’ll bring you along with me.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

Yesterday London weather was a slightly chiller and more windy so I wrapped up a little, I wore an old leather gilet from H&M,  jeans by J Brand, cotton tee by Proenza Schouler, sandals Celine, bag by Givenchy and Ray Ban’s.

Easy going

Sorry for lousy updates the last couple of days but I’ve been celebrating midsummer with friends the whole weekend enjoying soused herrings, baby potatoes, snaps and not enough sleep. Though I had so much fun I now feel like checking into to a relaxing spa, hehe!

Sadly I’ve been a lousy photographer as well this weekend, but here’s what I wore on Thursday, shorts + blazer, an easy going classic combo I’ll sport more often. Old blazer from Zara, shorts and loafers by Acne, blouse from Mango, bag by Celine, watch Tagheuer and Ray Ban’s.

Bicolor

One of my finds during the sales was this skirt by Balenciaga, I totally fell for the shiny fabric and shape which kind of has a life of it’s own. Keeping the short length in mind I decided to wear it with flats to tone it down a little earlier this week, but this skirt has a million styling opportunities so it won’t be the last time you’ll see it here for sure.
Wishing you all a happy midsummer-weekend whatever you are up to!

Volume

Ok, I know, lots of jumpers and trousers lately, but it hasn’t been warm enough to wear much else. Without sounding too negative I’m actually happy I didn’t stock up many summery things for hot days in the city this spring, how sad would that be, just seeing them hanging there. But I really hope I’m wrong and that things will come around, half summer in and half summer left today.

Anyway, this is what I wore on Saturday, apparently I felt like volume on that day, but I blame the wind for the unintended voluminous wild hair. Silk trousers from Topshop Boutique, jumper from Nowhere, shoes Alexander Wang, bag Celine, bracelets Cooee and Ray Ban’s.

Pont de Solférino

A new favorite in my wardrobe that I’ve been wearing a  lot lately but not managed to catch on camera is this knitted camoflage jumper from Topshop, perfectly slouchy on relaxing days, like last Sunday in Paris was to me, visiting Musee d’Orsay and drinking hot chocolate with rum.

Chillin in Paris

On Saturday while in Paris I strolled around the beautiful streets in this relaxing outfit while crossing my fingers the sun would push away the clouds, but had no luck on that point. Instead I enjoyed what I usually do while I’m there on my free time, like hanging on brasseries for hours drinking wine and observing passing people, tourist thing number 1 I guess but isn’t that one of the charms of this beautiful city. Luckily I brought along my new flats, rubber in the city, yeah for comfort!

Celine Resort 2013

Here  we go again, I think I’m in love with you Phoebe Philo, to loyal Celine fans not many words are needed. All the typical Celine elements are there though reinvented through even more slouchy silhouettes and even cooler put together styling. The scarves from fall collection are played around in different ways (loving that detailing!), not to mention the oversized portfolios and the plexi shoes, gotta get my name on lists for those.

Roland Garros

When I headed to Roland Garros in Paris this weekend to watch tennis I opted for practical clothes, yes, not the most exciting outfit in the world but sometimes practicality comes first, even though I’m not a fan of the latter. Though skinnies, wool, rain coat, and hot drinks were miles away of keeping me warm, I really enjoyed the games, never thought I would turn into a tennis fan but there you go.

I wore jeans by J Brand, wool knit from Reiss, loafers by Acne, coat Balenciaga, bag Celine and Ray Ban’s.

Camo

We all have a few favorite pieces in our wardrobe that we use season after season, the challenge in this matter to me is to squeeze as many different looks out of each of my favorite piece as possible without having the feeling I’m repeating myself too often. But sometimes you cannot avoid it, we all have our favorites, and honestly I could wear this combo of my old skirt by Acne, parka and heels everyday this cloudy summer. You’ve seen it all before, except the top, the perfect tie dyed camouflage blouse from Mango, a real budget bargain in store now.

Relaxed

On Friday, while there were still comfortable temperatures outside I ran the streets of London in this relaxed outfit hunting down a pair of flat sandals, thanks for assisting in terms of color! Speaking of color I decided the same day to dip my hair into a can of dark chocolate brown at Sergio‘s, now prepared for summer, so where are you?

I wore jeans by Current/Elliott, jumper Topshop, belt by Acne, shoes and bag Celine and Ray Ban’s.
