THE SPRING TREND YOU CAN’T SAY NO TO.. THE WHITE SHIRT

Written by nickyinsideout on April 28, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on THE SPRING TREND YOU CAN’T SAY NO TO.. THE WHITE SHIRT

Now that the weather is – supposed to be – warming up – and we really enjoyed summer temperatures back in Venice two weeks ago – it’s finally time to start talking summer fashion!

If you are seeking for inspiration, have already been stalking instagram streetsyle stars, devouring vogue and any sort of fashion magazines, pinteresting spring/summer trends, I am sure you have been told to buy at least one white shirt!

Fashion trends speaking, Spring/Summer ’16 is definitely going to make our life easy because who doesn’t own a white shirt?? The good news is that the most coveted item for this coming summer, is most probably already sitting in your closet! I mean.. How cool is that?? You can be trendy while saving money!

Now, if you don’t feel like investing in a new piece, fair enough!

You can still be owning a latest trend piece with what you already own or even borrow from the boyfriend.. hopefully your boyfriend is a good big size so you can sport the oversized look! Otherwise, if you feel like a shopping afternoon of fun or some indoor shopping moments at your laptop, you can upgrade your shirt game. In this case, and it’s my favourite part, the shopping part, what you should bare in mind and make sure to strike a goal are white shirt dresses, cold shoulder shirts, big bell sleeves or oversized shapes.

My passion is to show you how we can wear each season top trends in a realistic way. But let’s be honest, sometimes designers make it pretty hard for us non-models walking the city streets instead of the catwalks.. We are mere mortals after all, aren’t we?? So I am super excited this spring since one of the main trends was already one of my favourite and wardrobe staples! What’s best to wear in spring/summer than a white shirt?? This closet classic is shaping up in so many possible choices, one of my favourites being this Lemon-B shirt dress I layered underneath a leather jacket during my latest trip to Venice.

A big yes to this ultra-accessible trend!!

HOW I STYLE MY CASUAL LOOKS

Written by nickyinsideout on April 24, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on HOW I STYLE MY CASUAL LOOKS

There is something about putting on a pair of distressed denim and a t-shirt that just feels so right! But the thing is, you don’t want to feel underdressed.

There is never too much fuss about my outfits, mainly because I think simplicity is always the main key to a good look. Add in your latest sneakers addiction, denim trend and favourite jacket and you are in for a perfect casual look.

My way of styling a casual outfit is to always add chic details. This time being my Chanel jumbo and new Lucky Eyes jewellery.

Basically, I always ask myself ‘what makes this look special?’ And to me, the special bit is added by one or two max statement pieces.. an edgy pair of shoes, a pretty bag, or some special jewellery. This is where all the attention will go!

The good thing is that, with the right details, you will never feel underdressed for a pretty restaurant or a daily event/meeting even wearing sneakers.. it’s very modern and cool!

SOCIAL MEDIA OR REAL LIFE? I TAKE BOTH PLEASE!

Written by nickyinsideout on March 31, 2016. Posted in collaborations, Fashion, Mom Blog. No Comments on SOCIAL MEDIA OR REAL LIFE? I TAKE BOTH PLEASE!

We shot these images last weekend on what seemed a perfect day. It was Saturday, the sun was shining on our way to brunch with friends, the temperature still a bit low but actually a very good feeling in the sun. The perfect day to start enjoying leather jackets, off the shoulder knits and spring colour boots.

Just 5 days ago seems so far away when a perfect moment like this doesn’t reflects real life. Thankfully nothing really bad happened but yesterday Emma bumped her head against the kitchen table and since the morning after she’s been very sick. As a new mom I’ve read many times that there is nothing as bad as seeing your baby poorly and now that I am experiencing it, this is one of the worst moments.. feeling powerless in front of a sick baby is really the most terrible of feelings.

So tonight, when Emma finally was able to fall asleep and rest, I was going to relax a bit and write this outfit post.. I found myself thinking about the difference between real life and social media.

Today I could have shared one of these nicely edited photos – and I did – or a shot of real life of me in the hospital waiting room wearing a track suit and try to keep my baby smiling. Emma is indeed the most important person in my life and my life rotates around her now. She needs her mommy like no other needs me that much on this planet. I don’t see it as ‘faking the perfect life’, I prefer to read it as a sweet escape from the real life. When I open my Instagram, I like to see pretty things, get inspired by the fellow bloggers and instagrammers and keep inspiring you guys. I think there are enough bad things happening on this world when reading the news so I like to see social media platforms as a happy escape from real life sometimes.

The instagram accounts I love the most are the ones well edited, which show me fancy things, good photography, latest trends and yes let me dream for that fraction of the second when I see and enjoy the picture. So when they say that social media is not real life, I kind of agree but if I can choose, I choose both!

All of us need that daily sweet escape from what’s happening around.

My only tip today will be to don’t feel sorry to share something beautiful on your socials even if you had a sxxx day. It will make you feel better even if just for those 5/10 minutes. But don’t be afraid, if you feel like it, to share your true feelings with your community. You will be surprised on how many sympathetic and sweet girls you can find on a platform like instagram, ready to share an advice or a similar experience. Even if I don’t usually share my ‘bad’ days on my socials, I did share my experience many times with my insta-friends and always made me feel a ton better!

Ultimately, as opposite as everyone is advising these days. I say turn your instagram notifications off!

It is still possible to enjoy the intimate moments with your loved ones and a nice coffee or dinner out (after a table shot of course) and go back to check what’s going on instagram an hour later.. the best way is to interact and be part of the community! #sharingiscaring 😉
