TOP 5 PINK SS17 PIECES FROM SOMEONE WHO HARDLY WEARS PINK

We’ve almost made it to summer (yayy!), and so it’s time to think what we will be wearing on holiday and those long summer days. You know I hardly wear colours but this SS17 got me to love some pink splashes here and there.

I thought of rounding up for you the 5 top pink accessories I am loving at the moment.. by someone who hardly, or I can say never, wears girly pieces and bright colours.

  1. SEE BY CHLOE POLLY MINI BAG: One of my latest addition to my bags collection and wearing it in this post. It’s a little pop on pink in my spring/summer looks and loving the trendy metal rings and tassels at the front. I got mine from Shopbop.
  2. GANNI LINFIELD TEE: Already on my wish list and can’t wait to wear it with denim shorts on those hot beach days. The pink faded peach print adds charm and cool touch to the simplest look!
  3. ACNE STUDIOS AMINA NAPPA SLIDES: These flats would be mine already but couldn’t find them in my size yet! The style is so minimalistic that actually allow the pink colour and still makes you not too girlie! Loving the fold-over heel cap that can be worn up or down.
  4. RIVER ISLAND FAUX FUR SNAFFLE BACKLESS LOAFERS: I was wearing these in one of my latest blog post (here) and still going strong!
  5. MUSTANG PINK SUNGLASSES: this is a style I love seeing on other girls but unfortunately doesn’t work with my hair and skin colours.. you have to try them on and hopefully they work on you because they’re really cool!!

I had in mind to create an art gallery wall for quite some time now. Finally I got my hands on it and I couldn’t be happier with the result!

I did some research and fell in love with the vast range of choices at Desenio. I love the fact I could also shop the different frames on their website. What was stopping me before it was the idea of having to browse and shop on so many different websites.. The idea appeared chaotic and not so appealing. On Desenio I could space from fashion posters to botanic, from world and city maps to quotes posters. Exactly the ‘cocktail’ I wanted for my art gallery wall. On top of it, I chose different colours frames in black, white and gold to spice it up a bit!

I found out creating an art gallery wall is the perfect way to make a personal statement at home, expressing who I am and what I like. Like the prada poster and cactus photo mixed with the black and white world map and quote print. I could simply space out between all the things I am passionate about. I want to see them every day and know I will not be bored of them! Finally I loved combining the different sizing, I feel it makes it more interesting and less perfectionist!

Today Desenio gave me the opportunity to help you build your own art gallery wall! You can shop on Desenio with a 25% off!!

3 SPRING’S BIGGEST DENIM TRENDS WE NEED RIGHT NOW

Without a doubt, denim is my sartorial best friend. Every season I continue to add my collection new washes and cuts. This spring, it’s all about the high waist with details: frayed hem and embroidery taking it to the next level. Today, I am showing you two denim looks – one more chic and one more casual – I have created in collaboration with River Island which include the three spring’s biggest trends of the season.

Mom jeans. This cut is my absolute favourite denim for several reasons and has completely replaced the beloved skinnies in my closet. I love this River Island model because the mid wash blue reminds me of a vintage look and the light colour is perfect for any summer styling. The relaxed fit goes with all my casual chic daily outfits and the distressed detailing is always a cool detail to have in our closet.

Embroidery. Sure you have noticed embroidery denim is everywhere these days! My favourite is the ones really subtle, with only a little bit of detail like these gold roses on the side.

The good news is, this week you can get your denim embroidered at the River Island Kalverstraat store until April the 23rd! Throughout the Amsterdam Denim days weekend River Island gives you the chance of making your jeans your own! You can customise selected denim styles purchased in-store with bespoke RI x UncoverLab laser tattooing or hand stitched personalised embroidery.

Patchwork and frayed hem. This denim mini skirt will be my most worn skirt from now until the end of summer! I love it because it embraces two of the biggest denim trend of the moment. The patchwork design adds personality and dimension to a regular denim mini skirt staple. I am loving the contrasting blue panels in large squares of this River Island one and it’s the perfect detail to be added to any summer weekend casual look!

CLOSET CLEAN OUT: WHAT GOES AND WHAT COMES IN!

Normally Easter period means to me going through my closet and do a big closet clean out to decide what to toss from the previous seasons. Obviously to make space for new summer clothes!

It can be difficult to let go of pretty things that once made our heart flutter.. Am I right?!

Let’s be realistic, this is not always an exciting task. There are better ways of spending a spring day off than being overwhelmed by our closet clean out. First step for a ‘successful operation’? Having clear in mind what we want to be wearing the coming season. Especially what we don’t want to be wearing any longer!

The main thing I will be tossing this season is skinny jeans! As a jeans obsessed person as I am – I wear jeans 7 days a week! – denim is literally my life partner.  At the moment I am all about high waisted, straight and wide fits like these white denim culottes from Opus. I’ve been wearing culottes since they first came out and it was one of those love-at-first-sight trend which became part of my personal style, especially over the warm months.

My current passion for loose shapes extends to the tops too! Besides a big passion for statement t-shirts, I am going to make space in my closet for light coloured off and cold shoulders, bell sleeves, ruffles and loose shirts like this one, also from Opus, I am wearing today. Specifically this is very versatile and I wear it both boat neck and off shoulder. It’s the perfect piece to pack for summer holidays!

Finally, the verdict of my seasonal closet clean out is going to be all about ‘out’ the tight and skinny shapes to make room for soft and loose pieces. I just find them much more chic and flattering.

What about you? I am curious to hear what’s going to be your favourite summer style.. Leave me your comments!
