SPRING WARDROBE: 3 MUST-HAVE PIECES

Written by nickyinsideout on March 26, 2017. Posted in 2, Fashion. 14 Comments on SPRING WARDROBE: 3 MUST-HAVE PIECES

Looking forward to spring is about the only thing keeping us sane those never-ending dark winter days. Sartorially speaking, we all know spring wardrobe brings the needs of new dresses, sandals and maybe a new bag that works with the light colours of the season, right?

But what about those staples you want to invest in? Spring pieces we can wear again and again, mixing and matching to those temporary fashion trend? With Opus, I found all my answers on how to combine the two: staples and trends!

I am not talking trends today, instead those must-have pieces that will provide you a basic foundation of your spring wardrobe:

Oversized white shirt. This is absolutely an essential! Investing in a quality white shirt that you can wear alone with great accessories or layer like I did in this outfit. I prefer a loose one rather than fitted, I find it more flattering and gives you more room to play with the styling.

2. Trench coat. It’s just great to have a good quality trench coat in your spring wardrobe, being the perfect chic layering piece. I love how a sand colour trench coat looks over a casual outfit to make the look more dressy. It looks great over a white shirt and white jeans for a chic summer vibe. Literally every woman should own a good trench coat! Without the need of totally splurge, the one I am wearing from Opus is great quality and finishing and below 200€!!

3. Hoodie. This is a great alternative to a denim jacket and very trending this season! If you live a super casual lifestyle, you may want one in each colour! I am wearing mine a ton! I love this one in white because even being a very casual piece, the the light colour maintain it very chic!

Would love to hear how’s your spring wardrobe coming together! What are the pieces you can’t live without?

LFW @THEAPTMT WITH OTTERBOX OFFICIAL SPONSOR

Written by nickyinsideout on February 23, 2017. Posted in 2, Travel. 13 Comments on LFW @THEAPTMT WITH OTTERBOX OFFICIAL SPONSOR

During the previous LFW The Apartment was already one of my obligatory stops. You can imagine how happy I was when I heard OtterBox was going to be their official case sponsor this season!

In case you are not familiar with what The Apartment is, it’s a space dedicated to bloggers to get work done between the shows, presentations and meetings over LFW. Also, it’s a place when we can relax, meet fellow blogger friends, touch up our hair and make up, snack and take a little break from the hectic schedule of the fashion week.

What I always love about the Apartment is how much we are looked after. The LFW days are so hectic it just feels good to hang out in a very pretty and well curated space. Having a beauty studio either for a quick make up touch up or a change of look or even just relaxing having pop corns (or french fries!!) on the sofa while watching the shows. My favourite part of the time I spend here is always catching up with the what so called ‘fashion friends’ we only have the chance to see over fashion week or special events.

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 7plus and I am loving the new camera! My phone is everything for my work, especially in hectic moments like LFW where every highlight ends up on Instagram stories! Luckly OtterBox is always making sure my phone is well protected when we snap photos in the middle of the shows crowd and we jump from uber to uber to reach meetings during fashion week! The case I am using at the moment is the Symmetry Series Clear. Between the wide range of the OtterBox cases, this one really reflect my minimalistic style and I love to see through my sleek new black iPhone.

Written by nickyinsideout on February 6, 2017. Posted in 2, Fashion. 14 Comments on GREY COAT WITH WHITE HEELS – MY TOP 5 PICKS

Happy Monday!!! It is going to be a busy week full of events, but first I am going to share with you this new look!

I rounded up my favourites – high end and high street – grey coat with white heels combo, in case you would like to re-create this look!

I love a good classic grey coat – the perfect timeless piece in our closet! A grey coat with white heels is a match made in heaven.. I am obsessed at the moment! Just worn it with a good pair of jeans, a grey coat should be a staple in each closet! Here are my top 5 favourites:

RIVER ISLAND: the one I am wearing! I love the big collar and the long length.
RAG & BONE: Love the mens-wear inspired cut.
THE FIFTH LABEL: Another mens-wear inspire with a feminine touch given by the belt.
ASOS: Loving the boyfriend fit and dark shade of grey.
MANGO: Another informal cut with a very cool hardware silver detail.

My top 5 white heels:

ZARA: Similar to the ones I am wearing.
VINCE: These are actually flat but a very trendy shape for this SS17.
HELMUT LANG: The stacked heel is pure perfection!
TOPSHOP: Loving the open back.
URBAN OUTFITTERS: Love the vintage feeling.

Let me know which ones are your favourites and wish you a great week ahead!!

[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!
