[PERSONAL OUTFIT] THE CORSET EDIT

Written by Nicky Inside Out on October 25, 2014. Posted in Fashion, Uncategorized. 2 Comments on [PERSONAL OUTFIT] THE CORSET EDIT

Remember my urge of running to dress down anything that comes to my sight?

Still does.

Styling being one of the things I enjoy the most of my blog sphere.. Here is a little story.

I’ve been collaborating with the awesome team of www.fromaconfinedspace.com for a sometime now. When they offered me to style this white 100% linen shirt from their menswear department, it was music to my ears.

When the postman delivered the boys item, my brain immediately started to think ultra feminine.

Its a bit like the neighbour’s grass is always greener or the unattainable urge to always want what you cannot hav e kind of thing..

Having a closet much similar to the Narnia’s one (here the boyfriend would agree and pull a face) I found an item which normally would consider too sexy on my boyish taste, this black corset.

The end of the story is the following mathematical statement: I pick an item from the boys department and I pair it up with an ultra feminine garment, the corset in this case, and I wear it with a trend of the season (in this case the jumper on the shoulder ) and I get a result which I quite like and feel good wearing.

Hope you like it too and can find inspirational to your weekend look!

[FASHION] ALEXANDER WANG X HM

Written by Nicky Inside Out on October 21, 2014. Posted in Fashion, Uncategorized. No Comments on [FASHION] ALEXANDER WANG X HM

The result of mixing sport, performance and style.

I was flattered to be invited to the press presentation of the latest HM collaboration. Not only I knew it was a sure score by the Swedish fast-fashion enterprise (see here the full collection) but also this one really reflects my favourite street style #sportluxe #sportchic #streetwear.. and so she goes. We are talking workout clothes to mix up with our usual urban wardrobe.

The collection controls a city girl style in a mixture of sport and action for a day to night look. It screams coolness in every piece, woman and man, my favourites being the black foam-injected crocodile-patterned sweatshirt and the scuba one embossed with AW branding.

Least but not last the addition of lifestyle objects .. who wouldn’t like to own a pair of actual size boxing gloves hanging on their wall?

Nail some shopping to be done on November the 6th, until then let’s save some penny. This time the price point goes up for a totally worth it performance.. my gym is outdoor!

[PERSONAL OUTFIT] BLANKET COAT

Written by Nicky Inside Out on October 14, 2014. Posted in Fashion, Uncategorized. No Comments on [PERSONAL OUTFIT] BLANKET COAT

No urbanite’s closet is accomplished this AW14 without a blanket coat. This throw-on is fleetly giving some rest to my leather biker as the island get cooler. Fond, Easy and now Trendy. I couldn’t not love this trend. My equation is blanket coat plus knit on the shoulders (which is every day resting my winter scarf) and the result needs little more than trusty little black dress, lace ups and a favourite handbag to accomplish the expression.

[Personal Outfit] HAND-KNITTED KNIT

Written by Nicky Inside Out on October 10, 2014. Posted in Fashion, Uncategorized. 1 Comment on [Personal Outfit] HAND-KNITTED KNIT

Nothing better than jumping into the new season wearing wool with character! This colour pop cuff unisex knit by Sheep of Steel is the cosiest piece of my wardrobe at the moment and I intend to make it my winter ‘Linus Blanket’, from jumper to shoulder and vice versa.

Homemade Feel? Yes, Please!

We have seen designers having Fall ’14 craftwork spirit all toned up from Prada goat-hair pardonable seam details, to Celine’s unfolded sleeves and flared knitted pants to the J. Altuzarra’s gracefully hand-woven dresses. My new entry is a unique slice of fall hand-knitted in the UK. And who better than the Brits? Italians might know their pasta but let’s face it, these peeps know their knits!
