Midi skirts have stolen my heart

Zara is, as always, stealing the show. This understated but oh-so-chic denim midi skirt is my newest find and honestly, I can't wait to style it for every season. With sandals for summer, ankle boots for autumn, knee-highs for winter and flats for spring - you name it, this skirt will go with it.

Easy to see why I love it so much. 

The comfort revolution

When I was 14 I distinctly remember holding a grudge on my mum for not letting me wear skinny jeans like everyone else at my new school. It's funny how certain images stay with you in as much detail as if they are just passing by your eyes; yes, I'm talking about the image of me looking down to my kinda clunky Nike black plimsoles and (cringe) bootcut jeans. 

Why do we need to replace black?

There was pink, red, white, and I'm sure at one point in fashion history every color was hailed as the new black. Why was there a need to replace black in the first place?

Perhaps it's so intimidating to every other color. I mean, who else can slim you down, make you feel confident, sexy and sassy but also mysterious, misunderstood and artsy? Black is masculine and strong but it can be as dreamy as a night sky. Depending on the styling, black is always in season and always a statement...in its understated ways.

Which is why I don't want to replace black. Not even with my beloved grey.

Operatic opulence

Going to the Opera invariably takes me back to when I was a little (-er) girl, transfixed by the grace of the ballerinas that I then copied for days on end. My parents took me every winter and even if I technically don't live at home anymore I thought it wasn't reason enough to give up our tradition.

Lazy is my middle name

Lounging about on a sunny winter morning surrounded by everything paisley and everything Oysho, my favorite brand for loungewear, pijamas and underwear. It's not a big surprise it's also a sister brand of Zara...I see a connection.

Don't take this the wrong way but...

When did Photobooth photos become a 'guilty' pleasure? Oh wait...have they never been socially acceptable past the age of 12? 

Making an effort for fall

Dressing for the ocassion on a busy day of lectures, supervision and procrastination. Doesn't that sound glam?

Grandpa chic

Thanks to this shirt and cardigan combo I will look like a professor's assistant. Just the look I was going for. Anyway, this is my dream outfit: the soft pinks in the shirt, necklace and trousers is just up my street and that cardigan is the most versatile thing I have which is a good thing since I got it with my own money and if I put something on ebay again which I haven't worn once I'm starting a shopping ban. It's that out of hand.

Summer is the best time to get creative with your nails. More so than in any season, summer nail polishes rise to the status of accessories. I won't go as far as saying that the sartorial impact they make is crucial but if you can have fun with one more aspect of your look, why not jump on that bandwagon and try yourself some of my favourite nail polishes?

It pains me to tell you that I was feeling like taking some outfit photos and so afterwards, I was left all dressed up with my hair done and a full face of makeup and no idea where to go out!
