Outfit: Pieces of paradise

Oversized crop sweater: Sparkle and fade (second hand), similar here ~ Harness shorts: StyleMoi ~ Iridescent platforms: Vagabond

Heeeello lovelies!

Hope you guys had a great week - I sure did wandering the city of Amsterdam once more with a friend of mine as you might have seen on my Instagram :) There's also a travel post about this beautiful city from last September here :)

Unfortunately I didn't buy anything as I didn't spend much time shopping but then again, that's probably good for my credit card. I'm currently re-decorating my flat which is probably gonna be expensive. I'm opting for something like a clean gypsy style (does that even exist?) and I might show you some snapshots once it's done.

Alrighty, recognize the harness shorts of death? In case you don't - I talked about them quite a bit in this post describing what it took to actually make them wearable :D They're fantastic though. Now :D They're such an eye-catcher that makes people stare wherever you go. I always try to be a bit careful with the rest of the outfit though. As the shorts are very bold I don't want to show too much cleavage etc as I don't wanna overdo it. I prefer to wear an oversized sweater like this one I got second hand at a market. It was a total bargain and I've been wearing it so many times ever since as it's super warm and cozy. For a long time I didn't know what to make of crop sweaters but with high waist pants/skirts and a nice top underneath they started making sense and I fell in love with them. I added my fav distressed tights, warm socks and my beloved Vagabonds. They are definitely the perfect combo of comfiness and style.

Stay tuned for my next outfit post - it's not gonna be your regular everyday outfit but something a bit different :)

Outfit: Preaching the end

Paisley playsuit: Boohoo ~ Faux suede fringe jacket: Topshop, similar here ~ Faux suede fringe bag: DressIn ~ Belt: vintage ~ Platforms: Salt & Pepper, similar here

Hi there adventurers!

How's everybody doing? For some mysterious reason I never got around to showing you this fantastic playsuit from Boohoo. They always have fantastic and affordable stuff and I could really spend a fortune on their website *.* This playsuit is probably my fav item with its unique paisley print and colour combo. It goes so well with vintage or vintage inspired items like my belt and my beloved fringed jacket I already showed you. I originally bought it as part of my autumn wardrobe but it goes so well with my complexion and it's suitable for so many occasions that I keep wearing it. It can indeed be very elegant with some black tights and heels but will also make for an awesome boho look when paired with tassles, vintage jewelry etc. I went for a bit of a mixture here which makes it look grown up and playful at the same time. This playsuit is one of my fail-safe pieces for dinner dates. I guess it's always great to have some of throse for every occasion - just in case :)

Don't forget to check my Instagram during the next couple of days for travel pictures!

Outfit: On the run from the things that we miss

Faux fur jacket: Dresslink ~ Plaid dress: H&M, similar here and here ~ Moon choker: Twirly Trinkets ~ Belt: vintage ~ Platforms (second hand): Demonia

Hey wonderful humans!

I had my eye on this plaid dress from H&M for quite a while telling myself I already had enough dresses :P When it was eventually sold for 10 € and still available in my size though I couldn't come up with a good excuse anymore and just got it :D It's a piece that really works for several occasions. As it's not too short and doesn't show a lot of cleavage it's an awesome choice for family dinners and birthdays but it's still stylish enough for everyday adventures, parties and so on. It can also super easily be dressed up or down. Here I chose a black faux fur jacket for a warm and medium dressy look. A long coat would make the whole outfit more elegant while a leather / biker jacket would give it a rock 'n roll twist. Now the huge platforms are super grungy (and give the illusion of long and lean legs) but could easily be swapped for a cute pair of heels, some flats or even boots. They'd all work with this outfit. I also added overknee socks, a vintage belt and a choker to give the look a personal touch. As I already mentioned before the dress + belt + jacket combo just can't go wrong as it always looks put together and as if you put a lot of thought into creating the outfit. If I had absolutely no time to get dressed but still had to look presentable this would be an outfit I'd turn to for sure!

What are you lovelies up to? I'm gonna attend a birthday party at a medieval tavern tonight - can't wait! Absolutely love wandering the alleys dressed like this :D There'll be another post up on Sunday before I leave for beautiful Amsterdam once more. So excited *.*

Outfit: Love will tear us apart

Faux leather jacket: H&M, similar here ~ Velvet crop top: Urban Outfitters (old) ~ Skirt with rose print: DIY ~ Belt: vintage ~ Platforms: asos (second hand), similar here

Heeey everyone!

I've been wanting to post this look for quite a while as it's been one of my faves recently. So the fact that I'm putting this rose inspired look up on the blog for Valentine's Day is sheer coincidence :D It was kinda hard to shoot though as I forgot my memory card at my parents' house :/ But here it is.

In this outfit I'm wearing lots of old favourites of mine. In my opinion the skirt + belt + (faux) leather jacket combo always works. It's probably the one look I'd go for if everything else failed because it always looks fab and put together. I've been wondering for quite a while why this combo looks so "right" and I think it has something to do with symmetry and the items "dividing" the body in a harmonious way. I might actually do a post on that.

I'm utterly obsessed with flower print skirts and vintage belts and totally intending to get more of both. This skirt was a DIY project - sewn from fabric remnants from my mum's atelier. It goes so well with my beloved rose tights I already showed you a while ago. The length of the skirt plus the overknee socks are so flattering for the legs in contrast to, let's say, denim pants - it's almost ridiculous. It really makes the legs so much longer and leaner.

So what are you guys up to this weekend? I'm gonna have a very nerdy V-Date including burgers and Deadpool. It's gonna be romantic af :D

Outfit: Too cold outside for angels to fly

Snowflake sweater: Boylymia ~ Blouse: Wholesale7 ~ Lace shorts: CNDirect ~ Platform boots: Salt & Pepper, similar here

Oh wow! Finals week is over and I can't believe I'm actually gonna have a couple of weeks of free time now. I have heaps of plans like shooting a ton of looks, redecorating my entire apartment, hiking partying, traveling and all the other good stuff :)

In this look I'd love to show you another item from Boylymia (link's above) I got along with the hoodie dress I showed you recently. It's this super cute snowflake sweater and again the quality is really amazing. Also, the Boylymia items run very true to size which makes shopping there so much easier than in other online shops (I opted for a bit of a looser fit so I ordered a size M). What I love about this sweater is that although it has a snowflake print it still doesn't  look too cute or girly. It still fits in with a very clean monochrome look. I was lucky enough to get some snow the day I shot this to create the matching atmosphere. Snow has been a rare sight here this winter with temperatures as high as 14 ° C / 57 ° F. Not that I'm complaining :D

I paired the sweater with an asymmetric blouse unterneath. I absolutely love this combo as it makes a sweater look so much more interesting and adds a little warmth on cold days. I never intended to wear the lace shorts tbh :D I had worn them that day and when I changed to shoot this look I noticed that they'd go really well with the sweater :D So here we go :)

Alrighty everyone, stay tuned for heaps of new stuff! I love you guys - you are the best!

Outfit: We lay awake silent in the dark

Faux fur jacket: H&M, similar here ~ Mandala print top: Pretty Attitude ~ Coin necklace: Wholesalebuying ~ Faux leather pants: Coolcat, similar here ~ Platform heels: Salt & Pepper, similar here

Hellloooo everyone out there!

So today I'll finally get around to showing you this gorgeous faux fur jacket I already got a while ago at H&M. After I had spotted it I simply couldn't get it out of my head so I ended up buying it the day before Christmas. And what can I say? I didn't regret it. It's not only super warm but also super versatile. As you can see in the pictures it has black and grey as well as a cream color in it so it goes with the blacks and greys just as well as with browns and beiges. When I had a look at the H&M website I realized it wasn't available at the online shop anymore but I found a jacket that looks excactly (!) like this one oO Link's above!

The mandala print top is also a new addition to my closet and I absolutely love its boho-witchy-gypsy vibes :3 It's one of those pieces I can't wait to rock this summer with some lace shorts maybe and a kimono - oh yes! It also goes so well with the coin necklace.

 You already know the pants - they're my faves from Coolcat, Amsterdam but as they don't ship to other countries I found a similar pair for you.

Alrighty lovelies, I'd love to write more but it's finals week and my brain feels like pudding already. It took me like half an hour to write this. I'm serious.

Take care adventurers! Please keep your fingers crossed for me for the computer graphics exam of death on Monday :D

Outfit: Nothing burns like the cold

Hoodie dress: Boylymia ~ Platform heels: Salt & Pepper, similar here

Hey adventurers!

So as you can see in the picture there is snow now :D Eventually. I shot this look recently at -12° C / 10° F and I guess I'm always a lot more focused knowing I only have a couple of minutes until I won't even be able to press buttons on my camera anymore because I can't feel my fingers anymore :D

I'm absolutely in love with this new sweatshirt / hoodie dress from Boylymia. The online shop is quite new but I gave it a try and I must confess I am absolutely and utterly in love with this item I got there. It's really heavy and warm and feels so high quality. It also has an amazing length. It's not only a long-ish sweater, it's really an actual dress even for taller girls. I never owned anything like it and it's both cozy and stylish at the same time - I don't want to take it off anymore :O I made sure I paired it with fishnet tights and some platform heels to give it a little feminine and fashionable twist. Also, in my opinion the length of the dress requires heels to prevent your legs from looking too short underneath (maybe it's just me having this paranoia when it comes to knee-length and midi dresses).

What I love most about the dress though is the hood. As you guys know I love wearing items that cover my head like hats and flower crowns so wearing a hood is totally my kind of thing as well :) I love how it makes you look like some mysterious fantasy priestess. Also, a black hood brings out bright hair colours really well.

This outfit really doesn't require much accessorizing. I put on my regular black choker and some vintage rings - that's it.

Would you guys wear a hoodie dress?

Have a great week everyone!
