Strolling along Canal St Martin on our last day in Paris in my striped poncho, which doubles as a scarf and a blanket on a plane.  Probably one of the most versatile items in my closet that I try to stock up on ever since blanket capes became a thing. I can’t believe Paris happened almost a month ago, even though this has been a one hectic month for me. Can’t wait to go back as soon as I can, I’ve definitely left my heart there.

I’m wearing:

Poncho – Stradivarius (cool ones here, here and here )
Sweater – Mango
A-line denim skirt – Shein (similar ones here and here)
Suede boots – Zara (similar ones here and here)
Backpack – Leather Satchel Company

And yet another lace up item in my closet! Should I change the name to Laceup Agony?

After so much craving for lace up front tops and A-line skirts I decided it’s time to pair some of my latest findings into the most obvious of outfits. To spice things up I added one of this season’s hottest accessories  – a dark red saddle bag. Later in the day I ditched the heels and wore this combo with a pair of sneaks and a faux leather jacket, which may or may not have worked even better.

I’m wearing:

Top – Shein
Skirt – Shein (more A-line options in this post)
Heels – Zara
Bag – Marc B
