Black and jewels

On Monday it was my birthday and although people in general might get depressed about getting older, I was too busy participating in a lot of festivities in my honour to even think about it :) So I received a lot of love, wishes and presents and many of my presents are wearable so you will be seeing them on the blog in the near future. 

In order to complement my almost all-black look I decided to use this beautiful and interesting pair of earrings along with the cute and discreet bracelet, both gifts I was given from dear friends. I can't believe how much my perception of jewellery has changed with age. My collection keeps getting bigger and I really take them into account in order to create an outfit. I still haven't started investing in expensive pieces, I just like things that have a certain something and will give a cool touch to my look.

Coral and pearls

Although I am a big fan of eye-catching, show stopping earrings as you may have guessed from the ones I usually wear and post, I do love pearls that are the definition of elegance and classic. Including the bow was just a little extra to urge me make the purchase. And it looks like I made a right choice: look how they can upgrade a casual outfit and make it cuter and girlier!!

Wedge, print and a hummingbird

How do you pick your outfit? Do you choose the clothes first and then decide for the shoes, bag and accessories? Usually I start by choosing one piece (skirt, top, dress, shoes, bag, earrings) that I want to wear and then style around it. In this case, I started with the shoes. Since I hand't used them for almost a year I thought it was time to take them out of their box and then everything else started coming together. 

As you can see I am wearing a hummingbird temporary tattoo. It is just a great solution for my fear of needles and my worry that I will get bored of something permanent. This local designer has these really cute designs that I just love.

Tartan is the new black

By now you probably know that my work doesn´t require a very strict dress code but there are some days that I have to do a little less casual. So I chose to give in to the tartan trend and combine it with classic black and blue.
