ADIDAS SUPERSTAR SLIP ON

Half Superstar, half Celine pull on sneakers.. It’s the kind of originality that either you hate or you fall in love with. I never imagined finding some white kicks I would love more than the classic Adidas Stan Smith, but I must admit, I did find them! Especially when browsing shoes online I wouldn’t have thought of buying another pair of white sneakers! This is my fourth pair and I am still not tired of them. I think what makes white sneakers interesting is the sporty-chic touch which they give to any outfit. I say ‘any’ because really, they are still having a big fashion moment and  you can pair them with anything. This is what make these shoes so interesting to me.

How I like to wear them? Here I paired with a simple yet chic black trousers but also think leather trousers, leather leggings, skinny or boyfriend jeans, culottes, midi skirts and even dresses! I mean, what it there not to love? A pair of shoes that goes with everything, gives you comfort and make you still feel chic.

They are the best for transitional weather (I tend not to wear them if its very freezing outside because I don’t like them with socks. I wear them bare feet and I would end up with a flu!). So when the weather allows, since I moved from a rainy country to one even more rainy, they are the shoes that add coolness to any outfit.

So, I say, you need to get yourself at least one pair pair.. It’s a safe investment if you like the designer ones like GucciSaint Laurent or Celine or there are some very cool ones without the need of splashing the cash.

One of the remarks I often get from my boyfriend is that I always wear trainers. (Men are always exaggerating!!) The minute I come home with a new shopping bag and I show him the novelty with excitement and satisfaction (..this is not always happening since I don’t want to hear ‘did you really need a new pair of shoes, or bag, or blabla… but this happens in every house, doesn’t it?) I think he hopes in a pair of killer heels. Instead it would be a pair of sneakers, denim, loafers, leather pants or this time a sweater dress. Now, lets get to the point..I could have styled it with heels too but with trainers is more stylish to me. A scandi-inspired sporty-chic look makes me feel more myself and I really can enjoy the layering game adding leather trousers underneath and playing with lengths adding a masculine cut  coat.

I added a feminine touch to the look with this cool bracelet from Chandrah. You may have already seen it on my Instagram because I have been wearing it every day since I have got it. This style is on point with the ‘marble look a like’ beads and 18k rose gold plated detail. I love how easily you can put it on with the elastic band. Chandrah offers free worldwide express shipping and I am thinking, since I am enjoying it so much, it would make a great Christmas gift for my besties.

So, to make the story short, you must wear only what makes you feel good!  And blame the rain that in Amsterdam has been non stop the past week or the time waiting that the baby wakes up from her nap or to be honest, I just wanted a new pair of shoes I may need or not.. I ended up buying a new pair of sneakers.. and these are amazing! Stay tuned!

SHIRT DRESS IN WINTER

Sometimes wearing unexpected seasonal items keeps my wardrobe a little more interesting. Think of a total white combo in winter time.. It sounds wrong on paper, because we are all expected to start wearing darks shades when fall starts, but it works extremely stylish on the streets. It is the same concept of wearing a white shirt dress paired with black tights and blazer.

Shoes talking.. I do live most of my every day life in denim and sneakers, especially now as a new mom, but every now and then I like to wear skirts and heels.. always keeping it in a kind of casual and cool way. I particularly like block heels right now and these ones are a great height and seriously made for walking!

MY FAVOURITE STYLING PIECES IN WINTER

Whether it’s a fur vest, an allover fur coat or smaller details, fur and faux fur are my favourite styling pieces for winter. If you read my previous post or follow my Instagram you may have noticed I have been playing with this fur gilet quite a lot. This time over a dress, it allows me to play with different layers, lengths and shapes in several outfits and it’s a great companion to the chilled dutch fall weather. This vest is also extremely versatile thanks to the neutral colour and sleeveless shape, allowing me to wear it with leather, denim or more feminine pieces.

On a different note, I am planning to introduce soon new pages to my blog. I am thinking of a ‘shop my closet’ page, since my wardrobe is getting too tight, a ‘baby page’ with more photos of Emma’s outfits and some mommy thoughts and a ‘places’ page with the best places I am discovering in Amsterdam and during our weekend gateways. I am hoping to have new contents added each week which all depends on Emma’s behaviour ;). The ‘terrible teeth’ are starting to give some signs and she’s been a bit fussy the past evenings. I hope it won’t get too bad. Stay tuned and in the meantime you can follow my instagram for daily updates!

Sleveless vests continue to be a wardrobe staple and when fall arrives I can’t wait to style it. This one is a cozy alternative to my leather jacket and a fancy appetiser to the winter coat. At the moment I am just wearing it over a sweater but when the temperature cools down I also like to wear it with a blazer or a cardigan underneath or even over the leather jacket. I especially like this fox one from an independent vintage shop I found in Italy. The softness, great line and taupe colour makes it easy to pair with so many different layers and mix and match with many items in my wardrobe.
