Summer ready

We had the most summery Spring these past two months, but right on time for the 21st of June, midsummer, the longest day of the year and the official start of Summer, we had the frost come back. From a hot 30°C to an icecold 8°C in one night. Brrr ..... Still trying to wear all my lovely Summer and Spring looks, right now just adding thicker tights once again. The outfit of this post is acually from the warmer days and wearing that denim jacket was way too hot. Now, it's too cold and I am back to leather jackets. June is our April this year, which I don't mind as I really like the cooler temperatures, but it is not nice for nature to be so out of tune and our plants definitely show that.

Back to the outfit. I am wearing my dress-turned skirt favourite summer piece in combination with this black and floral shirt, which has been a staple in the past years. I added red accessories to the look. The bag is a Chloe lookalike and a really close dupe, the shoes are some of my favourites, but I sadly had to retire them after this day, as the strap on one of them broke. Need to replace them. These past weeks have been full of work and planning our kitchen renovations, but I hope to post outfits more regularly now during the Summer months. I have a couple of posts planned from our recent Paris/Disneyland trip and hope to show some of our house renovation as well. When it is all finished, I might do some house/room tours with before and after. So stay tuned!

Jumpsuit love

I never thought that this style would work for me, but I recently found a really nice jumpsuit during my time in Spain. And what a find! I bought it in a shop for large sizes, but regular height and hey, the extra fabric for plus size customers works wonders for me as a tall girl! Gotta try this trick more often. I must say that it is a loud print, but it feels cool and not too much. I wore it for a recent family dinner and even on a casual Friday at work. For this special look, I added a cropped cardigan, some nude/yellow sandals and my wonderful white Bedford Bag that has been on constant rotation these past weeks. 

A new accessory and little gift to myself that will forever remind me of my wonderful anniversary trip to Paris. We did try the Ladurée macarons as well, but these on the key chain will last much longer and have been a dream accessory for some time now. I picked the dark pink fruit rouges version in S that will go well with all my beautiful bags as I am planning on rotating the key chain between all of them.

Another Paris purchase - my first full size Chanel lipstick, which I bought at the Chanel flagship store. We visited the store, saw all the amazing clothes and bags and got to take some pictures at the famous stairs that go up to Coco Chanel's old apartment upstairs. I got the Rouge Allure Lipstick in Pirate, a lovely pinkish red with a blue undertone. 

LBD - Little Black Dress of my dreams

If I should choose my recent favourite item in my closet, this beautiful black dress would be it! I bought it on my recent work trip to Spain and look at those legs!! This dress is awesome! I have never felt so good in a "mini", even though this has a chiffon layer on top. I love the look and with the black and gold accessories, I feel so pretty. I have packed this entire look for Paris and will wear it for a dinner outing with Mr.B. It's an unusual look for me, but it feels great to step out of my comfort zone in this!
