Friday night: dress casual to impress

My outfit today is not a daily one, but something different – a night-out outfit. 

The weather outside is really summertime and I would not want to stay the whole evening in a warm and uncomfortable outfit. Thats why I choose a look in which I feel well and is also fun – a sexy bra top, white blazer and transparent cycling pants. To be honest I have never been a fan of these pants, but wearing them in a proper classy way with blazer and high heels is a trendy style that I like very much.

What about you? Would you also wear cycling pants and do you have a favourite bra top with which you are more provoking and would you take a similar challenge in a fashionway?

A favourite hoodie look

There is no better companion in the spring/summer than the hoodie – trendy, comfortable and really cool. I tend to like the casual and simple but eye-catching things, so the hoody is just the thing for me. It also goes nearly with everything.

Although the quickest and simplest combination is with jeans and sneakers – here I chose a skirt which is also fashionable and comfortable. The best footwear that matches the outfit are my white Fila sneakers that are so trendy and I love them so much. Accessories are not to be forgotten – a Michael Kors backpack and the pink glasses which complement the roses on the hoodie, in a fashionway.

How I style a read maxi pleated skirt

A pleated maxi skirt is definitely a must have this season. With its longer length and a small waist it creates a beautiful woman silhouette. The pleated pretty trend includes both the casual and the more elegant styles.

There are many possibilities and colors to style an outfit but I choose ones that spice it up – red and pink. Wearing these two together was once considered a fashion don’t, but nowadays it is one of the trendiest color combinations.

You can easily match a candy pink top with pink accessories and a red pleated skirt. On one side I chose a pink pullover and on the other a white top, both with decorative elements, because it was sunset at Black sea coast, but not warm and cosy like in summer, hence the long sleeve as an addition to the T-Shirt. The pink bag brings its accent and the black sexy ankle boots are the best choice for this fashionable color attack mix.

Floral feeling

Dresses that feature flowers and floral patterns are often our spring and summer staple. With this article, picking some floral patterns I want to show you how they bring out your confident femininity. Floral print dresses styled the right way and outerwear are easily worn and could make the look of gloom.

While a floral dress is great in theory, in fact it is often a challenge to pull off, so choosing the right floral patterns is important to fit your body and style.

Consider that larger flowers are more flattering to smaller body types – you should not go for oversized floral patterns if you have a shapely one because those may add a few kilos to your silhouette. If your body type is slim to average, try combining larger with smaller floral patterns.

Also, consider the background color of your floral dress – a bright background fits perfectly on a thinner body, while choosing a darker one will give you a more tailored and tapered look and the illusion of being slimmer. 

At the end a floral concept must fit to your mood, style and complete your femininity, of course in a fashionway.

Spring gives me wings

After a long winter, the days are getting warmer and the sun is staying out longer. I love the change of seasons. Every new season has something beautiful to offer. So is with the fashion – new trends and new colors are waiting for us. And as the fashion spring/summer palette is full with shades of sun colors, I find them gathered in this wonderful butterfly tunic. The outfit is complemented with those chic pink sunglasses, which also have the form of a butterfly and follow the current pink trend.

When winter gives way to spring, for me this is the favourite change of seasons, as it reminds me it’s time to start getting ready for the coming summer – I am so excited preparing my summer wardrobe… what about you?

Carnival in Lanaken and Valkenburg

I want to share with you a great experience I had in the last days in Holland and Belgium – the Carnival. In Holland, Carnival is a holiday mainly celebrated in the south of the country in the the provinces Limburg and Noord-Brabant. The inhabitants take the Carnival celebrations very seriously – they prepare a lot and make it very well organised – they dance, sing and drink, wearing colorful outfits.

Every year the Carnival has its Prince – the Prince of Carnival, who for three days, together with his subjects celebrates the temporary establishment of their Kingdom of Fools. Merrymakers make their way from pub to pub and greet the Prince Carnival with three cheers of “Alaaf”.

In Belgium the festival goes in a very similar manner like in the Netherlands – I had the chance to enjoy the fun at a local street party in Lanaken. Every year people all over France and Belgium celebrate Carnival by dressing up in vibrant costumes, striking hats and masks in a tradition that goes back centuries.

The festival has its origins in the Christian custom of giving up something for Lent. Also known as Mardi Gras, the annual event is staged to mark the beginning of a 40-day period of abstinence. And although the most famous parades are the ones staged in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro, the people of Belgium are also dab hands at creating a spectacle for the yearly celebration.

Black is the new white

Bright or dark, black or white – quite simply both.

There are always pretty good ideas how to match black and white, but the question that always stays there is how much exactly black and how much white. My answer to this would be – as much as I feel like it at the time – in such a way that you can’t say if one is more than the other.

This outfit was provoked by this wonderful coat, which I fell in love with. But instead of going for brighter colors for the rest, so the coat can pop out, I decided to dress me all black with the single exception of the white pullover. Black does not detract brightness, it also does not oppress nor gives any negative impression, on the contrary – it can give an outfit character in an original way, namely in a fashion way.

What makes me different makes me beautiful

I have many favourite quotes, but this one from Coco Chanel is in my top ten: „Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself“. That said, I have always believed that being yourself is priceless and it’s what makes you beautiful.

Of course we still have to follow all trends, news and the fashion in general in order to be up to date. But the fashion world is like an endless ocean we must learn to swim in, every season, year, month, week and day.

And what best to fit the winter season than the white, even when it blends into the snow around us. It goes even better with a pair of black boots and fluffy coat, to achieve the always trendy black and white combination. Though high heel boots are not typical for the real snowy winter I like them very much and they make me feel elegant in this outfit, because elegance is not only standing out, but being remembered.

So be you, be different, be yourself!

Happy and pretty

There are so many estimations about how many hours women spend for shopping and clothing, but honestly I find this to be one of the activities I tend to enjoy too :). I think so, because a real woman or a pretty girl should stick to what makes her happy – be it shopping, clothing or just walking on the street while making heads turn, as things in life are easier and enjoyable only when you yourself are satisfied with your day.

I have always tried to be a „pretty woman“, but never following all the requirements and standards of „being pretty“. The „frames“ make me uncomfortable and standards alone are not enough to make you outstanding. To look nice for me does not only mean that you choose the nicest clothes you have, but also finding what your soul desires to feel beautiful and attractive. So, my mood today was a shopping one – going and searching what the latest designer labels are offering.

By the way I have never been too fond of snake prints – it’s not my favourite, but it does have a great sense of style and brings one more level of variety in my closet, reclaiming its territory in 2018, and still being up to date in 2019. Pairing snake accessories is always tricky, but black always matches very well. Both the outfit and the shopping itself made my day.

So what makes YOU feel happy and pretty?

Cold weather, tender feeling

Cold weather, winter… The cold dark weather usually makes me feel down, but i can still be happy and enjoy my time because when indoors the atmosphere is so different – cosy and warm. Even better when I have a softy tender sweater on – the kitten soft feeling is so incredible. I cant stop snuggling up to it – so do not fight the cold feeling, catch a tender one!

And a yellow touch is always a good idea, matching also with the evening light. Days are short in winter, but the spring is coming soon, in which season yellow will continue to be trendy.
