Biker and sequins

Everyone knows that you can't have enough black dresses in your closet. They are a classic that never goes out of style, they can be combined with anything and are appropriate for any occasion. Of course the idea is to have a variety of styles so that you have different options and be able to create an infinity of looks. 

The slip dress has made a big comeback in fashion and it can be a very versatile piece that can work as a great canvas for accessories and plus it is so comfortable. For a rock mood I decided to combine it with sequins and biker boots, giving to the look the perfect balance of edgy and cool.

• Gold sequin bomber jacket: TU TEXTIL

Sequins and tassels

Sequins are the sort of embellishment that people usually use after the sun goes down and on formal occasions. However as unconventional as I am, the moment I saw this fabric I knew I wanted to have something made out of it and of course it wouldn't be a long skirt. So I thought a bomber jacket would be very cool as it is on trend, in its nature it is a quite casual piece but with the sequins it be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion and the mood. So say hello to my morning sequins and goodbye to the old-fashioned rules!

Woven and hoops

Although I buy regularly new pieces for my closet and especially during this sale season I have gone a little wild (so many things coming up soon here on the blog for you to see...), I get attached to my belongings and I don't easily let them go. This denim jacket I have had for some time now, it is still in great condition and of course being a classic piece I haven't stopped using it. However I decided to give it a small update with some patches. They are very easy to apply (all you need is an iron!) and since they are on trend you can find them in many different stores. So if you have a jacket, shirt or even a pair of trousers that you are looking to revamp, patches are the way to go!

Fur and bows

Have you ever been attracted to a garment or accessory because of its fluffiness? It might not be the sanest reason to buy something but the sensation is great. So this bag wasn't the most rational purchase but the sale price was very reasonable and it does look super cute, don't you think? It is quite large in order to fit in all of the things that I like to carry around, and the colour is a show stopper. I am certain I will not be using this bag on a daily basis but it is ok to have things just because they are pretty ;)

• Skinny jeans: H&M
• Gold bunny ears ring: LOLA LOLA MX

Pearl and pretzel

A blazer is an important piece for office looks but that doesn't mean that it has to be tailored, black and matching your trousers. Although I don't have to stick to a strict dress code at work and I have flexibility in what I can wear (therefore I do not own many blazers), I feel that it is worth having a few of them in your closet especially if they are versatile enough to be used on casual occasions. Even though I had not planned on buying a new one, I found this in the sale rack and I thought I would give it a shot. I had seen it when it was still full-price but my lack of urgency detained me from buying it. However finding it almost half price made me see it as an opportunity. I love the colour and the shape that are not the typical and the fabric is so soft!

Pink and yellow

I live in a city where the weather is very unpredictable and we are going through a very summery winter but occasionally the temperature drops. So if you are wondering why my posts are sometimes featuring coats and some other times short-sleeved dresses it is because of these sudden changes. I have a last Christmas present pending to share with you and the weather has finally allowed me to use it so here it goes. This yellow cape isn't probably something I would have bought myself. However, I love its warm colour and the fact that it can cover you up from the cold but it is not too warm as a coat. I look forward to using it in order to give pops of colour to my looks.

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!!

• Navy blue bucket bag: TARGET
• Navy blue and white print canvas shoes: H&M
• Gold bow with pearl earrings: DANIEL ESPINOSA

Fringe and crossover

Sales are a perfect excuse to go shopping. Of course sometimes you can get carried away and buy things that you don't necessarily love and you won't really wear just because they are very cheap so beware! Try to buy pieces that are really worth the space in your closet and try looking for the things you really wanted all season but you couldn't afford or you really didn't think they were worth paying the original prices. I found this kimono on my summer sales hunt in H&M and I thought it would be a great addition to my kimono collection, especially since it was 75% off!

• White tank top/blue skinny jeans/grey kimono with fringes: H&M
• Gold crossover sandals: PRIMARK
• Large pink quilted bag: DKNY
• Gold cat face ring: ASOS CURVE

Beatles and Miss Confetti

A black cross-body bag is a classic especially for a night out. Half moon bags are having a moment this season. What do you get when you combine both and give them a gold polka dot print? My new, super cute bag! Who says black has to be boring??

• Black t-shirt with "Beatles" print: PRIMARK

Purple and lumpy

 Since I was very young I was obsessed with cartoons. I think at some point in my life I wanted to design cartoons but since my drawing skills are not really great I had to drop this plan. I had been hearing a lot about "Adventure Time" and when it became available on Netflix I decided to give it a try. It is very different from the cartoons I used to watch when I was young but I have to admit it is entertaining. For me the character that is standing out is Lumpy Space Princess. I love how grumpy, moody and spoilt she is, maybe because she reminds me of myself a little bit ;) And she gives a great a opportunity for an interesting outfit!

• Purple Lumpy Space Princess t-shirt: CARTOON NETWORK
• Powder tulle skirt/imitation snake skin flat slingbacks: H&M
• Purple Lil Ukita bag: MARC BY MARC JACOBS
• Purple rebozo: FONART

Bright colours

Are you reluctant to combine bold colours? Well you shouldn't be! They will gain you a lot of compliments which can really pick your mood up and put a smile on your face, so it is the perfect autumn blues remedy :)

And buying a new beautiful bag like this one featured here also helps ;)

Elephants for good luck!

Or at least this is what my friend Bernarda says from whose lovely boutique I bought this! Since it is quite a striking piece of jewellery I decided to combine it with this simple outfit.
