Black & white for every season

No matter the season, no matter the time and occasion, I will always love spending time making black and white outfits.

Meanwhile, black leggings are one of my favorites – for an everyday look, for sports or for at home – you just need to match them with a cool top and you are set. In this outfit I matched two black pieces – Tally Wejil sport leggings and a top with a white oversized shirt, with a black faux fur coat, Balenciaga sneakers and of course white Nike socks. I really love the combination of   elegance and a sporty look – it’s not only cool, but also trendy, in a fashionway.

White classic shirt and black denim shorts

A white long sleeved shirt is one of the most classic, investment pieces you can keep in your closet. This versatile piece can be worn in so many different ways, both casual and dressy and I wanted to showcase that for you today!

Can you wear a classic shirt with jean shorts – of course, you can wear anything with anything as long as you have the right attitude and style. You can absolutely wear a classy shirt with edgy, denim jean shorts. In fact, it’s a fabulous look!

This cotton blend shirt from Zara is one of my favorite that I own and it’s perfect also for warmer weather. To complete this shirt and denim shorts outfit, I simply paired them with a nice Gucci belt, black & white J’ADIOR bag and a pair of sneakers. For this look, I went with one of my favorite black jean shorts by Zara. They’re high-waisted, ripped hem, and very comfortable.

I think you just can’t go wrong with a similar look matched in a fashionway.

Pink, pinker, pinkest – Pinko

The pink panther is a TV character from my childhood known also as “Pinko”. Since wearing Pinko brand clothes and accessories some years ago, I always related the two. For that reason my post today is in front of this fantastic graffiti which fits the cool pinko bag „love me tender“. As the bag itself is unique and the highlight of the outfit, the rest of my look is in simple black and white – a basic Zara T-shirt with padded shoulders, black short pants and a La Bottine pantolettes, matched in a fashionway.

Austria’s Glorious Balls

Every winter, Austria hosts hundreds of classy ball nights – nowhere are balls so romantically formal as in Vienna.

Over 400 of them are staged each winter, strict dress codes, an opening fanfare, the entrance of the debutants and debutantes and the call „Alles Walzer!“ (literally: “Everything is waltz!”) are all part of a classic ball. Balls open usually with a Polonaise and punctuated by speeches, etc.

In the past wearing of masks and costumes was reserved for the nobility. To compensate for this, Emperor Joseph II opened up the dances in the Redoute Rooms in the Hofburg palace to everyone. This allowed the Viennese to copy the courtly customs of these celebrations, something which they retain to this day.

The waltz, being a partner dance, was initially perceived as a provocation, and caused moral outrage. The Vienna Congress (1814/15), meeting in the city to establish the new order in Europe following Napoleon’s campaigns, made it acceptable via the salons.

The balls today have kept a lot of the traditions of the past, while at the same time adapting many modern elements – like performances by professional dance groups and celebrities, charity campaigns, etc. It was a charity ball in the Viennese Hofburg palace that i was at – the 14th Dancer against Cancer Ball. From the opening with the debutants and the „Alles Walzer“, through to the modern dancing performances, the whole show was full of variety.

I am sharing with you some photos from this fabulous event. I was wearing a black and white dress, shoes and bag, trying to blend in with the waltz couple’s monochrome colors.

My favorite Mickey makes me always happy

When I found this cool Iceberg sweater I had to immediately make a full outfit with it. I have put in it the two things that I love the most – my favorite hero Mickey Mouse and the combination of black and white.

I matched this sweet top with a pair of black Calzedonia faux fur Leggings, Michael Kors Olympia textile sock booties, a black Parka coat and a fluffy, soft, black and white Chanel bag. Meanwhile when I put on those booties for the first time, I had a feeling they are huge and way too sporty (due to the big sole) – but in reality they are extremely light and unbelievably comfortable. I am wearing them most the time now (you are likely to see them in my further outfits).

It may sound strange, but always when I‘m wearing my favorite Minnie or Mickey Mouse, I‘m feeling like a happy kid enjoying his ice-cream or chocolate.

So who is your favorite character, which you would wear a clothing item with?

White and cream colored

I love wearing shades of white and cream color no matter the season and especially now to bust out in the winter… to really lighten things up.

White coats look great in all cuts and styles and because this season belongs to teddy coats I choose again one of them in white.

Why pick a white coat? Because it looks glamorous and refined, rich and sophisticated. There is something about a white coat, an all-white look in the cold season or a classic white coat on top of any colored outfit – it screams impeccable style.

But how to wear a white coat without feeling like polar bear? Some black accessories like a black bag, sunglasses or tights as accents and funky gloves always works so fabulous with a white coat. Very trendy and chic.

Here I’m sharing one of my favorite winter white cream outfit – a MONKI coat, cardigan, skirt and sweater, a pair of white Fila sneakers, Calzedonia tights and a Christian Dior bag.

Black and White

Black and white

Neutral colors like black, gray and white are very popular this season as always, but the combination of black and white only is one of my favorite. Black is visually heavy, deep, serious color, symbol of darkness and mystery and meanwhile associated with intelligence. White carries the meaning of cleanliness, purity, freshness and is the color of the positive. Although being two opposites, they don’t necessarily compete, but can also attract each other – just like in the Yin and Yang symbol. They appeal to me in the same way and very often become part of my outfits. The white is also a symbol of transparency, but a black tulle can have the same effect, just like the one in my photos. All these black transparent clothes are very trendy right now.
