Return of a Classic… S/S 17 Style Inspiration: The Jacket!

My pick for a spring jacket is probably a bit controversial - partly because a blazer is a classic staple piece in most wardrobes, but also because compared to the other trends, I am featuring, this really doesn't seem to be one, where the high street agrees with me.

However after quite a break, I will be bringing out my black blazer once again, and I have seen that a lot of bloggers are leaning towards this more structured jacket as well.

Despite the fact, that the high street (in my opinion) haven't really caught up with the return of the blazer idea, I still managed to find a few good ones - but I really hope, that I will be right and that the high street will bring out a larger range in the coming months.

Red Alert… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The Colour!

So for this next installment of my S/S inspiration, I will share the colour, which I predict (together with many high street shops) will be huge the coming seasons.

Red is the bold and sexy older sister to another season favourite pink. 

Pink have made into pretty much every aspect of my life, however the red, I will keep to my wardrobe, but here I actually do prefer it to the pink. I am however toying with the idea of a red and pink outfit, whether I will be brave enough time will tell.

I will however for sure be pairing the red with some of the other trends, I will be including in this little series - and this is really the idea, that all of the trends can be mixed and matched together and some items might even cover several trends in one.

Puf Puf Puf… Style Inspiration - The Puffer Jacket/Coat!

If you are a child of the 90's like me, you will remember, when the puffer jacket was last, the thing to wear!

Back then the cool kids wore the short version (preferable oversized) and the more stylish women wore the slim fit longer version.

Now they are back in all shapes, sizes and colours - after the comeback of the bomber jacket, which was also a huge 90's trend, it was really only a matter of time before we would see the puffers comeback.

And I'm so digging the comeback, because this is probably the most comfortable and warm outer wear option ever made - it is literally like wearing a duvet!

Earn your badges styles part II… Style Inspiration - How I style my Badge Shirt!

So this is the last part in my little badge series. This time I will style the ASOS Blue Shirt.

As I mentioned in my first badge post, I really like the contrast between this classic piece and the badges.

I did a more formal and a casual option as with the bomber, and trying also so incorporate some other A/W trends.

I'm not going there… Style - Trends I will not be rocking!

 I often share with you, which season trends I will be adding to my wardrobe.

But I thought it would be kind of interesting to turn it around and show you which items/trends, I will not be rocking.

Trends and style is a very individual thing, so please don't be offended if one of the below are your favourite - for the most part, it is just, that it is not for me and actually I find, that it looks amazing on other people.

This post is also to shed a bit of light on the importance of being true to yourself and your style and not being a fashion-slave.

I really love, that people have become so much more confident and rock their style and only pick the trends, that they really like.

Two Toned… Spring/Summer Nail Inspiration Part III

Now as we have officially reached the Summer, I'm here with the last instalment in my nail inspiration series - this time with a very easy nail art, that I often get a lot of compliments on.

The nail art in question is a two toned ombre nail.

Season selections… Style Inspiration - Spring/summer additions!

While spring is not really showing itself at its best here in Copenhagen, I'm confident, that soon I will be able to wear open shoes, lighter layers and show more skin.

Every season I plan out which more "trendy" and seasonal pieces, I want to add to my wardrobe, and as usual I'm sharing my thoughts with you, so hopefully it will give you some inspiration.

Welcome to the party season (Part II)… Christmas Party Outfit - Fancy Formal!

So next up is a bit more formal outfit.

A dress is always a good starting point for a party outfit. I love dresses, but not the really dressy kind.

I did however mix it up a bit a went with a coloured version (it was very tempting to go with the black though) and then went black, gold and simple with the accessories.

I think the green, black and gold make an excellent match for a Christmas party without going all out in red and glitter.

Welcome to the party season (Part I)… Christmas Party Outfits - Laid back with a twist!

Last year I did a little series with suggestions for New Years Eve outfits.

This years I'm decided to do Christmas party outfits (that could however go very well for New Years as well).

The outfits are a reflection of my personal style.

I don't really like having clothes, that I can only use for certain special events, but I do however like to get something new, when I have an event coming up.

This first outfit is a more laid back version that starts with a good pair of jeans (pick your favourite pair) and then dress it up with textures and a bit of bling.

Go Sleeveless… Style Inspiration - Waistcoats!

Spring has sprung in Denmark, and that calls for lighter layers.

I fell in love with the waistcoat late last summer, when it slowly showed its face on the highstreet - my first one was from Zara and I remember going back and forth before getting it, but in the end, I never regretted it.

So I was happy to see, that the trend really stepped forward this spring, and now they are everywhere!

So I decided to gather a little selection to get you started, if you still haven't got one.

Bomber is the new Black… Style Inspiration - The Bomber Jacket!

While the duster/trench coat is still holding strong, I feel like there is a new player in town this spring, that will be this years spring outerwear - the bomber jacket.

The khaki bomber was seen on several fashionistas during the just held fashion-weeks, so if you want to be up there with them, you go for this classic bomber shade.

I selected a few somewhat affordable choices - The key in picking a bomber is the fabric, it can make it or break it or rather make it look lush and expensive or cheap and trashy!

The Standard… Style - The Standard Wardrobe Items!

This is not basic wardrobe staples, this is a standard wardrobe.

A selection of items, that I think every women need in some form, as a foundation for their wardrobe.

This is no matter your style, shape or age - because the idea is, that you pick the items in a form, that suits you and your preferences.

Oh, and it is more than okay, if you have more than one of each item.

New Nudes… Inspiration - Nude Lips for Everyone!

Nude 90's inspired lips was all the rave last season, and I see it go well into the spring/summer.

However I'm not really a nude-lip-lover. It doesn't really work for me most of the time, probably because I have somewhat small lips.

But I found some options of nudes, that I really like, and suits both my small lips and complexion.

Go Green… Style Inspiration - Khaki Green!

Khaki/forest green is the way to go for this winter/spring.

It is chick, understated and a nice change from black.

I gathered some favourites to get you started on the green trend.

Chick & Sleek… New Years Eve Outfit - Dinner with friends!

For my second New Years outfit, I have gone with something a bit more low key, but still quite chick and dressed up - however I would also wear this any other time of the year.

But it is perfect for a nice and casual dinner with friends or family.

My Little Shirt Dress… One Online Store One Autumn/Winter Outfit - Topshop Edit!

One of my favourite clothes items are longer shirts/shirt dresses, so this is the focus and starting point of this Topshop outfit.

A shirt dress and skinny jeans are a go-to outfit for me, that go for both everyday and going out. And I always feel really comfortable in that combination.

Topshop is a bit a the higher end of the high street, so where I did the whole H&M outfit for around £ 200, this outfit came to £ 300, but this includes some real staple items, such as a good pair of jeans and a nice black blazer as well as a really nice pair of statement leather boots.

So lets look at the outfit.

Pink Picks… Pink Nail Polish Edit!

Time for the pink bunch in my little nail polish edit series, that will soon come to an end.

I like pink polish, it is a very classic choice, but not my first one.

Autumn Come… Autumn Wardrobe Wishlist!

I mentioned it before, but I'm so ready for Autumn.

Today I'm wearing shorts and a tee and I'm not happy!

My style is very much one, that revolves around layering, so Autumn is the perfect season style-wise and otherwise for me.

Autumn/Winter is also the season, I prefer shopping for - because as a lover of not just layering, but also all things black and dark, it is just more pleasing.

I though, I would share with you, some of the items, I would like to add to my wardrobe this Autumn.

No Sandals… My Summer Style Essentials #2 - Shoes & Accessories!

So if you are expecting a wide selection of sandals and flower crowns, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

As with my clothes, I don't change that much in the shoe and accessories department, when summer comes around.

Still I wanted to share, what I will be reaching for this summer.

Orange Orgie… Orange Nail Polish Edit!

I going to do this little series over the spring/summer, where I show you my four favourite nail polishes at the moment within different categories.

This will give you a sneak peak into my collection. I really wanted to so a nail polish collection, but it will be far to excessive and lengthy.

This way you will also know, which ones, I actually wear, as I will apply every polish to my nails!

My latest additions to my collection have been in the orange family, so naturally this is my starting point.
I actually don't really like the colour orange, but to be fair only one of them is a "true" orange.
