Staples

We all have a few staples in our wardrobe that we always tend to grab for, the few items you really love and never seem to get enough of, especially on days your creativity is like non existing. In my case these goodies are as simple as skinny jeans, along with some t-shirts, so basically the most basic you can imagine.
Needless to say I felt glorious happy the other day when I finally managed to slip into my favourite skinnies again after being separated way too long (8 months!), that feeling…..
Wishing you a fabulous Sunday noon and see you in Oslo where I’ll be heading tomorrow!

J Brand jeans, new silk blouse Topshop pre-fall, jacket by Isabel Marant (similar here), shoes by Saint Laurent Paris, bag by Celine, Tag Heuer watch, necklace, rings and bracelet by Monica Vinader, other jewellery De Beers and Balenciaga.

Dungarees

Dungarees may be a hard one to swallow for some but I’ve been craving a pair ever since I spotted Phillip Lim’s gorgeous leather resort 2013 version, and the green pair that strutted down his SS13 runway back in September. Some may think of it as typical preggy wear, well I don’t, but I do admit it’s quite comfortable these days indeed, and I’ve practically lived in my maternity versions lately.
Anyway, for those of you without a 8 month+ baby bump, this one iconis my absolute lux favourite, and these and these are great budget alternatives out there right now, ideally styled with a simple loose tee or plaided shirt and sharp pumps.

if if if …

I’m a jeans-shirt-girl at heart and I’m so missing my simple jeans looks, feels like ages ago!!! Well, I assure you I’ll jumping into a pair of perfect skinnies, a slightly unbuttoned silk blouse with rolled up sleeves, a little tuck, and killer heels as soon as I can, and wouldn’t mind any of these pieces to be included. With a long black coat over the shoulders or a duvet bomber I would have been ready to join fashion-month-circus! Btw, loving the silk shirt  by H&M (£39.99) so much that I’ll probably get it now and save it for later.

Wool & Tweed

Happy Monday morning and I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

I spent mine doing lots of 1′sts in my life, finding myself of the top floors of department stores (babystuff) instead of enjoying the “secret” sales on the floors below was definitely a 1′st one. I probably looked liked a big question mark when the helpful staff loaded my arms with “necessary” gadgets I never heard of, or even occurred to me was needed. Well, now it’s all done in one go and the rest of shopping time available in December will be devoted to Christmas gifts and perhaps a few treats for myself, just to release some of the pressure for Santa…..

What’s not a 1′st one is my forever combo of wooly dresses and coats, but that just happens to be my favourite right now. Wool dress and scarf from Cos, coat and boots by Isabel Marant, tights by Wolford, bag by Proenza Schouler, gold bracelet by Monica Vinader and rings by De Beers.

Velvet & Stripes

Woop woop, I’m back in London and jumped straight into my heels this morning when I joined a fabulous group of women at Tod’s Christmas lunch at 5 Hertford Street. I wore my new stripey viscose blouse from Zara (a real budget bargain!), a new pair of velvet skinnies by J Brand (maternity-fantastic!), my beloved Agnes by Jimmy Choo, signature bag by Tod’s and a new golden coin bracelet by Monica Vinader (coins are my latest crush!). Now getting ready for next event, wishing you all a fabulous eve too!

A quilted set

November so far (luckily!) has not been too chilly in London, with temperatures around 10 degrees heavy winter gear and hats have hardly been needed, yeah! We all know that can change in the matter of seconds so I’ve been careful to enjoy lighter outfits whenever I could.

As you may have picked up I’m all in for comfortable dressing these days, and when I came across these 2 super soft quilted pieces with elastic waistline (hurra!) I got it on the spot. These are new favourites that I will wear as a one piece by just changing accessories and shoes, or worn as separates.
Now, I’m gonna snuggle up in the sofa in another cosy outfit, take a deep breath and wait for my homemade cantarella pie to finish in the oven, wishing you all a fabulous weekend wherever you are!

On my wrists

Dangling on my wrist a lot lately are these friendship bracelets in silver and rose gold by Monica Vinader that I’ve got engraved to make each one of them more personal. I’ve already gifted friends with these bracelets which all turned successful, just a little tip if you’ve got no idea what to give your good friend who might already have “everything” for Christmas.

Tartan

Woop woop, Happy Monday Morning and I hope you’ve all had a fab weekend!
On my side my bump is growing a lot these days, and though I know it will certainly get bigger the remaining 3 months I already feel like I’ve swallowed a basket ball, where will this end? Those silhouettes, ala Proenza Schouler, I pictured I would wear this fall feel a million miles away, as fitted just feels the best for now, and the skirts in my wardrobe unluckily don’t come with elastic waistlines (more elastic waistlines to the people please!).

Anyway, here’s what I wore a few days back, my favourite new jeans by J Brand, wool jacket by Hofmann, boots Isabel Marant, wool scarf Ralph Lauren, bag by Proenza and bracelets by Monica Vinader and Cooee.

Cozy LBD

Happy Monday noon out there, hope your weekend turned out all fabulous!!!

On my side it’s been cozy, still embracing relaxing weekend-time after fashion month and chilled around and about in West London, late brunches and a little shopping. As we’re heading towards chillier days and I’ve been stocking up a little with wool pieces in my wardrobe, like this LBD in wool by IRO that I got while in Paris. Suddenly this classic, comfortable little piece has become my new wardrobe favourite, and if I was a little lazier I would probably slipped it on every morning.

Outfit worn earlier this week, I wore a wool dress by IRO, coat from last year by Isabel Marant, boots also Marant (similar IM boots here), bag by Proenza Schouler and bracelets by Monica Vinader.

Home & Away

Fashion month is over for now and I’m back in London where there’s finally time to unpack my suitcases instead of repacking them. Suddenly everyday-things like having breakfast with morning news on TV, chilling with good reads in my sofa, cooking, not to mention sleeping in my own bed are the things I appreciate doing right now, home sweet home.

I had a blast in Paris though and since the weather decided to be wonderfully warm and sunny on my first day there I sported bare legs in my hairy new boots. I wore knit by IRO, skirt (found as dress here) and boots (similar IM model here) by Isabel Marant, bag by Proenza Schouler, sunnies by Tom Ford, letter earring by MariaFrancescaPepe, watch Tagheuer, bracelets by Cooee, Hermes and Monica Vinader.

B&W

On my first day over here in NY it was burning hot and super humid, temperatures that normally require a nearby beach and sunbed. Anyway with no beach in sight I jumped into something a little loose and relaxed. The shorts and blazer are by danish brand Hofmann Copenhagen’s SS13 collection, just love Hofmann’s stuff, playful, minimal and the fabrics are gorgeous, check it out here.

Oki, gotta run again folks, there’s a new day knocking on the door and so much more of NY to soak up before I head home tomorrow eve. Wishing you all a fabulous day!

Shorts and blazer by Hofmann Copenhagen SS-2013, linen tee by Acne, shoes from Zara, bracelet by Monica Vinader, glasses by Mykita and my old buddy Chanel.
