Transitioning to Spring in red and blue

While the snow has been melting, I can't get enough of the cold. I love dressing up in layers, even though I don't like the minus degrees too much. The early Spring days with warmer temperatures that still call for tights, but allow you to wear dresses and lighter jackets, those are my favourites. I did injure my foot during Autumn and just now can wear most of my shoes again. How I missed my Mary Janes! I do own this style in 6 colours now and love how comfortable they are while giving me just a couple of cms for height (which I really don't need at 6'3'', but a heel gives such a nice look). Once again blue and burgundy works well for me during the colder months and this look has been a staple for work and weekend events as well.

Winter to Spring

It's been a minute since I last posted here and it felt ok to be away from blogging for a while. I needed to think about what I want to do with this place for the future. It has been more than 8 years since I started blogging on a regular basis and have been sharing fashion and a little bit of lifestyle here ever since. Change has been on my mind and it needs to come this year. I haven't fully figured it out yet, but I have missed blogging in the meantime and want to do the changes on the go. I hope you come along again on this journey. We took these photos when it was still snowing here and though we just had the official start of Spring, it is still grey and dark most days with the odd warm and sunny day in between. I wore some of my old favourites for this day and felt quite comfortable with these classics. Burgundy red just always works with black and this combination stands for my traditional winter colours.

French Girl vibes

I love France and Paris is one of my favourite cities that I've ever visited. I can't wait to see this beautiful place again soon and I am already getting into the mood by dressing a little bit more like those beautiful French girls and ladies. Of course, I will probably never manage that look quite as nicely, but I do think black and white stripes plus a little red never hurts nobody. This is my new favourite dress from Eshakti at the moment tht has quickly stole the spot of my old favourite LBD and I can see myself wearing this a lot during the upcoming Spring and Summer months. It even works in Winter! I had tried Eshakti once before and love their custom offer where you can order dresses fit to your specific measurements. Since working with them, I have ordered three more custom dresses and this is one of them. I love the heavy cotton fabric and the custom option is amazing or all ladies out there like myself that don't fit the average of a size 6 with slim legs etc. I am currently on the hunt for one or two summer dresses, let's see what I will order next!

I paired the look with simple pearls, some white accessories and as an eyecatcher my new red velvet moto jacket.

Casual Autumn walk

Christmas is fast approaching and I am currently working my way through my Autumn photos to show outfits in the snow soon. We already had a couple of days worth of white and I love it! Winter is my favourite and Christmas especially. While editing this post, I have been listening to Christmas songs non-stop and these pictures with the thin jacket, golden leaves and sun seem a little surreal, but I really like the outfit and wanted to share the look. I finally got my Michael Kors Bedford in Burgundy out for the Fall and Winter. It is such a lovely bag and I don't regret buying it one bit. It is a great bag for the darker months brightening up any dark look. Also these cargo pants are my new favourite. I got them in the sale at LongTallSally and loved them so much, I had to get them in khaki as well. They fit well and have an easy-going vibe to them. Perfect for the weekends!

Pink Bohemian

As I love this tree and its' blossoms, I just had to take more photos with it. It's the last for this year, promise! This dress is a new find and has been a pretty good one as I have searched for a nice maxi dress in a dark blue shade with short sleeves. Often, those summer maxi dresses just come with little straps and that's just not working for my office attire. We do have a pretty loose dress code, but too much cleavage just isn't ok for a teacher. Therefore, this one is a total keeper. I have paired it with my pink leather jacket here, but actually don't like the length with the dress and prefer my denim jacket, which sits more on my natural waist and not on my hips. A lot more flattering.

Casual Day

As you might have read in my last post, denim is a neglected fellow in my outfits these days. We do have the rare occasion though where I feel a little more comfortable when wearing a comfortable pair of denim. I am currently on a school trip to London with my students and we are running around the city every day, seeing all the sights. For a situation like this, I do swear by this trusty pair of girlfriend jeans that I have had for several years now and own more than one pair of. They even survived moments of weight loss and gain as they are easily adaptable fitting nicely as a girlfriend, boyfriend or skinny jeans. So this is a look that I might be rocking right about now running around central London. It's a simple look with a dotted tank top, my trusty colored leather jacket, some broques and nice accessories.

The snow is gone

It has been unusually warm these past days and all the snow has melted. While I am missing that white cold wonderland, it also gives me the chance to wear my thin shirts and more skirts once again. I do also add more lighter colors to my outfits and am a bit in Spring mood already. Just hope that the heat of summer is still far away as I to love the tights and boots season so much! I wore a simple white and blue combo here with my MichaelKors Bedford being the only pop of color. This bag has been on constant rotation these past weeks and I sometimes have to force myself to not forget about all thos other beauties in my collection. The Bedford Medium Tassle is just the perfect bag for me and I currently don't feel the need for another bag (apart from that Chanel WOC) in my life altogether.

Winter Warm

Winter is my favourite season! I do love the icy cold and whenever people tell me that they hate winter because it's so cold, I just think that it's really just an issue of wearing the right clothes. I do wear dresses and skirts in winter, but when it is really icy, I tend to wear pants. I do have a couple of warm chino pants and this burgundy one is a perfect pop of color in the dark winter. I added a short-sleeve turtleneck and a woolen cardigan with a furry colar. It is really warm and so comfortable. It does give me a couple of extra kilos in looks (meeew!), but is such a nice and warm cardigan underneath a coat when you are outdoors the entire day and still want to stay warm and not have to wear a fleece jacket. I also wanted to show you my birthday present from Mr.B. He was so sweet and got me a wonderful new watch by my favourite nordic watch brand - Skagen. I have quite the collection now - a silver, a rose gold, a white and now a black and gold one. I love matching my watches to the rest of my jewelry and now can wear this with all my gold and black jewelry.
