Loafers we LOVE – And you will probably do TOO

Loafers, ballet flats and slip-ons have managed to win us over with their coolness and their easy to wear approach. Work or fun outfits became fresh and comfortable ever since flats took over and for this reason we cannot feel but gratitude for this versatile add-on.

As easy as 1-2-3

Slip-ons and loafers have been rocking street looks for a while and it’s so tempting to make them the perfect shoe choice to transition to a new season especially if you’re into the entire menswear or J Crew office clothing type of vibe.

Here are the our favourites!

Dark LIPS – Get ready for a different type of MAGIC

Jennifer Lawrence - Bazaar - Dark Lips

At this stage of fashion and style awareness, one should not be afraid to use, test and experiment with different shades of makeup or lipstick.  It’s all about discovering who you are and what looks good on you. 

Dark lips have been playing on with mystery and boldness in the last season and similar to red lips they provide the alternative beauty ritual. Instead of highlighting your eyes, you bring focus to the lower part of your face bringing out a polished and elegant beauty.

So why not give it a shot!?

BOMBER jackets: Just can’t live without

Bomber jackets are one of the sporty elements that have seen a dramatic comeback. Taken out to play by music industry’s cool kids such as Lana del Rey or Rihanna and featured in many casual-sporty looks on models and street icons, these once utilitarian pieces have become as cool as sports jackets can possibly get.

Lady in GREEN – Why to wear those emerald pieces

green-outfits-styling-emerald

I’ve always been fascinated by emerald pieces, by how they looks in contrast with neutrals, how they bring to life decorations and embroidery, but most of all, their on accessories and jewelry. This luxurious shade is far from being a Christmas shade and drifts into a timeless heritage shade of queens and empresses, that can be so well integrated to contemporary outfits.

Real or Fake – How do you wear your fur coats?

Furs have always been in fashion one way or the other. Whether the glamorous fur coats which helped the creation of characters in movies and photo-shootings by conveying the image of luxury, or the casual affordable vintage options and all the way to the more recent fake fur coats and vest, we cannot deny that furs are a must-have in our wardrobes.

Their popularity ranges anywhere from the Prehistoric or Arctic history, all the way to Russian or Scandinavian traditional winter-wear, but it extends until modern muses such as Kate Moss or Erin Wasson, who revived the vintage fur coat concept by turning it into a statement fall / winter piece.  Although there are a lot of environmental issues associated with real fur coats, we truly believe in revamping your grandma’s treasure coats or getting a refurbished fur coat from the flea market. The price point is crucial and you will end up re-purposing a coat with a story.

Styling fur coats

Fur coats can easily be integrated into casual outfits by pairing them with jeans, oxford shoes, rock ankle boots and leather pants. Bohemian souls would wear a hat and maybe a summer-ish dress with tall socks and vintage boots.
