Some Autumn Inspiration

So in Autumn it's all about layering and falling of leaves. I love to match my outfits to the beautiful Autumn colors outside; burgundy, brown, camel, red, green, custard all lovely. And combining them is even better!

Plus layering! I try to keep my actual winter wool in the closet until it's actually freezing so this time a year I am all about the layers! At the moment vests and body warmers are a big thing for me!

My tip for you: don't keep clothes per seasons!

Summer tops can work perfectly as body warmers or under a warmer vest or blazer. Summer dresses can be stil be worn when the wind starts blowing, put a nice top with long sleeves under it or a blouse or s jumper over it and wear it as a skirt! Try to be creative! Don't wait for the next summer to find out your summer garderobe doesn't fit or suit you anymore. Or that the seasons have changed and so did the trends and your old summer clothes just won't do.

Here some Fall inspiration for you guys:

Third summer shoot: All black in summer!

Black in summer

So all black in summer totally managable if you'd ask me! If it gets really hot it's smart to think about what kind of fabrics you wear though. Cotton, linnen, fabric with little patrons so the wind passes through that kind of items. Another thing people easily forget in summer is the shape of a top. For example this blouse had tiny holes in it, but still the fabric can get pretty hot. This is no problem here cause the blouse is losely shaped. A tight top in summer is almost a guarantee for sweat stains!

Going All black but not boring

Not all people like to wear all black anyways thinking it gets too boring or too gothic. A way to make sure an all black look stays interesting is to wear differt fabrics! In this case the lace from the shorts and little dot print from the blouse. But you've got so many different fabrics to combine: Leather, suede, wool, acryl, cotton etc. or just a print!

Another tip is black is black, but you do have see through or just plain black. If you add a see through piece every look feels just a little less dark. Or you can opt for a piece with holes in it.

Second summer shoot: Polka dots

Polka dotted

The polka dot print is the happening trend at the moment plus uber cute! Especially really fitting on blouses and dresses, pants could be real fun but for a lot of people a bit too much of a good thing.

A lot of people already have problems with wearing print. Polka dot however is a pretty accessible print especially in the tiny variant. It adds just a bit of sophistication without looking like your chanelling your inner Mini Mouse. I like my prints and looks a little out there so I am opting for a medium size dot. 

I do have some tricks I use to stop myself from looking like one big table cloth while wearing prints. Go for some skin. My go too move when it comes to wearing prints on blouses; make it a vneck! The flash of skin is a nice break from the print stopping it from looking like one big front. 

Espadrilles

The espadrilles are a summer love of most and these with the lobsters are extremely cute! They are my first however and although they are quite comfy I am having trouble pulling them out of their boxes.

It's not that I can't combine them, but more that my leather booties are so comfortable that most of the days they are my easy fix while I already know I can walk on those for hours. I will go and try to wear them more them being so cute and all. 

Oh another reason I am having trouble putting them on is; they are white. White and Ella means stains within the minute. 

Hats

The hat in this picture is from a second hand shop: 2,5 euros! So I like hats and I can not lie! Are you out there looking for a hat, but don't want to go all expensive?  A lot of second hand shops like the Kilo shop in Amsterdam have an selection of super cute, super original and not that expensive hats! I know what you're thinking but they clean new arrivals firercly, so don't fred!

First summer shoot: denim patched up

So last Saturday me and my friend did a shoot to give you guys a better and closer look of my outfits!

My first outfit features a few of my fav items in the closet; denim shorts, blouses and buckleboots! Plus the popular trend; patches!

I love how the buckle boots immediatly add a bit of a tough feel to the whole look.  Although a lot in my closet may look chic I am a sucker for the cowboy feels you see everywhere. Also ankle boots are my weakness. I have too many black ones and wear them even through summer..said enough?

Cowboy feels+ankle boots= buckle boots

I hope you guys love this look and get some inspo!

Musthave: The redlip

When you wear red lipstick you're done. No more make up necessary! It's my go to look when I want to look freshfaced and well put together, but don't feel like putting on make up ( for me this is anyday and everyday). How many times I have put on red lipstick and have been asked if I had 'special' plans! No way mom! You know it's just me and Netflix! I would never do anything to break our special bond.. *whispers to herself* not that there are many volunteers for these 'special' kind of plans... nevermind!

But what I am trying to say; a red lip rocks any outfit and makes it look chic and sexy!

Some inspo plus lipsticks I love below!
* Mac matte 'Lady danger'
* Mac matte 'Diva'

* NYX matte 'Alabama'
* Rimmel Provocalips 'Play with fire'
* Maybeline color drama 'Red essential'

Breakfast in summer

From the sky✈

I am not afraid to fly. Flying feels weird, unreal, so if I can't believe I am actually flying I can't fear crashing down. I do fear coming home from a beautiful place and feeling numb and cold here back to my daily routines. So I am going to pretend I am on a break here in the Netherlands and will go home in a week or so. To remind me to enjoy the time I have here, while knowing I'll be back in the sun shortly!
