How to Style Off the Shoulder Trend | OOTD

Bonjour, my friends!

How's your week going so far? I thought today we'd talk about off-the-shoulder trend. It rightfully deserves it's place among other top trends for those past few seasons but with summer  finally here it's been popping even more because the weather is actually nice enough to wear it and not get cold. I mean in reality fashion not only stole our smiles but also and ability to wear weather appropriate clothes so the fact that this summer is kinda cold doesn't  really matter. It's warmer than a few months ago and that's more than enough. For this look tho I paired my bodysuit with a pair of high-waisted flair pants to accentuate my waist and keep that flowy wavy theme throughout my whole outfit. I think it works pretty well. You can also pair this top with a flowy midi skirt or a pair of high-waisted "pyjama" shorts. Also, while getting ready I figured out that you can even wear a turtleneck (in a bodysuit style) underneath this top and you'll be both warm and trendy. As for the shoes, most of the times I'd recommend a good block heel sandals and a kitten heel maybe. Although if you're wearing an off-the-shoulder dress just go for a pair of trusty sneakers (like Stan Smiths) or mules. Lastly, of your off-the-shoulder top is all cropped and loose then I recommend choosing a straight or wide-legged pair of pants (maybe culottes) or a maxi skirt - this will make you look thinner and taller. What a bargain!

Rough Leather, Intricate Silk & Soft Cashmere | OOTD

Bonjour, my friends!
Today the weather is definitely on the cooler side so I layered up to stay warm. And I thought, why not use the opportunity and mix a lot of different forms and materials. I sheer shirt asked for something underneath it and a cashmere dress seemed to be fitting enough for the occasion. I personally like wearing contrasting materials like rough leather and soft cashmere or silk. All materials are complementing each other making it a perfectly balanced look.

Matching w/ Style | OOTD

Bonjour, my friends!

Another week, another Monday style post is here. Summer is just around the corner and I'm feeling super risky and ready to try new looks. That explains why today I have an all matching outfit. I'm not only matching colours but materials as well. Here we have a denim jacket and skirt. If we forget about the heels and scarf for a moment it'll be just a simple office appropriate casual look. Now back to my outfit. Shoes are matching, honestly, I'm using and opportunity of having these heels and the scarf is there to add some definition. This look for sure makes a statement that's why you should be confident while wearing it. For a more safe, chill option I would go for a black/white pair of heels or mules and a smaller silk scarf just around you neck, or maybe even ditch the scarf.

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.
