How to Always Look Chic and Trendy | OOTD

Bonjour, my friends!

Today we're going to talk about looking chic and trendy but not putting a lot of effort into it. Of course I'm going to be using my outfit as an example. First of all, you gotta settle with a very basic outfit suitable for any occasion. I think, a stripped top is perfect because you can dress it up with some formal pants or make it chill with just a pair of jeans. Ok, we're done here. Now for shoes and outerwear (if needed). I've chosen a basic leather jacket and a pair of cute leather heels - that adds some sophistication, also matching coulors and/or materials makes it super easy to choose what to wear. For example, if I wanted something even more relaxed I would go for a red windbreaker and a pair of low-top red (or maybe not) sneakers like converse but if I wanted to dress it up I could totally wear a light coat and some brogues and heels. Now comes the trendy part. As I always say a few is more than enough. In my case I have two trendy pieces - sunglasses (this shape and coloured lenses are super in) and a bag (small bags and big colourful straps are also trending rn) and that's it. Now you have simple yet chic and trendy outfit which looks like you've spent a lot of time picking it all out.

How to layer up this spring the trendy way | OOTD

Hey Hey Hey

Today is another Tuesday and it means first outfit post and some tips on style and clothing.

This time, I wanted to talk about layering up because spring doesn't always mean very warm weather. Of course, I wanna keep the spring mood and wear light coats and kicks without socks but the weather is definitely feeling differently. So the easiest way to layer outerwear is by adding clothes locally aka this furry vest keeps my chest warm and as a result my whole body. Also, to minimise the damage to your look from such a volumetric piece I recommend wearing something long and sleek underneath if that's not your choice tho, then don't worry just grab a small puffer jacket end wear it under your coat or jacket. Talking about shoes, it's pretty simple, wear skin coloured tights, no one will ever know and you will stay warm.

Stay warm, stay true

Karen Gillan inspired outfit | OOTD

Yo Yo Yo 

Karen Gillan has been my ultimate style inspo for such a long time now, especially after I've watched Ponds on Doctor Who and realised that Karen, Arthur and Matt make the perfect hipster trio (which I wrote about a lot and can check it out). My today's look is like a compilation of what a like in Karen Gillan - her messy hair, somewhat loose outfit completed with very classy coat and finally something to put it all together. Totally bought this green skirt in Zara last year solely because of her.

Stay chic, stay you

Long coat, Button up and Brogues | OOTD

Long coat, Button up and Brogues - is your ultimate recipe to a good classy/office look.

There many variations on this, you wear it with a skirt or choose an oversized button up or make a long coat more saturated and edgy. This time tho I chose to stick to my "simple is the best" rule and just threw on some basics.

Trip in outfits. Day # 8

Young volcanoes 

wearing: leather jacket - Kosmika; striped shirt - unknown; jeans - Arizona; runners - New Balance

It's always a good idea to mix basics together as I usually proclaim in this blog. And today's outfit ain't exceptional. Navy striped shirt, good trusted leather jacket and a pair of most comfortable black jeans (or pants, why not) - an ultimate recipe to looking your best even when you're on vacation and climbing rainy mountains. I should mention tho, that I just realised how quality made are my shoes, not only NB, pretty much all that took with me on this trip including such as: high-top Converse, vintage Puma, Nike Air Rift. All these shoes, so far, passed a challenge of hard weather conditions, mud, ocean water and any other factors. Well, now I know I can trust my shoes, tho, idk if I'll be able to clean them back to normal but that doesn't really matter.
Ok, now about other stuff. It's only a couple of days until I'm leaving for home and so, I think I'm just going to take my time and chill. Probs, that's the last outfit from this trip but hey, I'll post something new in a few days. Maybe I'll tell about how my trip went and what places you should visit of you come here or I'll give you a lill inside look to what I packed with me... who knows.
For now, enjoy your life. I'm out.
