As you may have guessed from this post I did a couple of weeks ago, flare sleeves are one of my biggest obsessions this spring. You can wear them in so many ways, the most traditional ones being somewhat romantic or feminine. I wanted to experiment with this dusty rose top a little bit and I loved the mix with loose track pants and white sneakers, that might not be your first outfit choice, but definitely looks fresh and unexpected. I hope you guys like this experiment, I have another flared sleeve top I wanna show you in a more traditional combo, so stay tuned.

I’m wearing:

Bell sleeve top – Chicwish (tons of other ideas in this post)
Pants – Zara
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – D&G Sicily (lots of gorgeous Dolce&Gabbana bags here)
Bracelet – Jane Kønig
Rings – Wanderlust + Co

This look’s another proof that I don’t need actual spring to dress like it’s spring. The moment the snow melts I’m ready to bare my ankles, even if it’s just for a quick walk to a pastry place around the corner. I’m not a winter person and I hate the cold but dressing lightly makes me feel a bit better, if that makes any sense.

Today has been an amazing day and I’m bursting with excitement and gratefulness as I’m writing this. You know how you’re sometimes hoping or dreaming of something and the opportunity comes knocking on your door? Well, today has been full of such opportunities, and even though it’s nothing major I can’t stress enough how important it is to have clear goals and think positive. Those are the two things that I’ve always been taking lightly, but I assure you, if there’s anything in life that really works, it’s them!

P. S. Yo still have a couple of days to participate in my Valentine’s Day giveaway to be able to win a beautiful gold or silver love tag necklace.

I hope you guys had a lovely New Year and already sorted out all your resolutions for 2016. I’m finding it difficult to express everything I expect from myself in 2016 because 2015 taught me that there is no limit to what I can do and achieve.

Some of my defining moments in 2015 were:
– moving to another city and choosing personal styling as my final career path
– seeing therapist for the first time in my life (I have to confess I faced an identity crisis this summer and getting professional help was one of the     best decisions in my life, if you guys ever doubt – go for it!)
– attending trainings and reading a ton of books on personal growth
– learning to meditate
– Paris Fashion Week
– meeting truly inspiring people that I can learn a lot from

Some of the things I plan to focus on in 2016:
– finding balance between work and pleasure
– building a strong body
– traveling to places I’ve never been
– getting back to learning French and Spanish
– reading books I’ve been saving on my Ipad throughout 2015
– learning to network and delegate

As for the look above, as you can probably tell the pics were taken near Musee du Louvre in Paris. I always forget to post everything we shoot on our trips and was happy to find them browsing through my folders yesterday. It’s super casual as it was taken on the last day of exploring the city, I hope you like it.

I’m wearing:

Coat – Zara
Sweater and jeans – H&M
Shoes – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Saint Laurent
Sunglasses – ZeroUV

A very simple and obvious color combo, but one of my favorite nevertheless. I just love how the tan color of this suede-looking coat (previously worn here) is amplified by the blue background (actually more navy in real life but these pics were taken at dusk so the exposure settings had to go up).

Also here’s a trick how to wear culottes with flats, sure the cropped pants + sneakers take away from your height, but the top and the bottom are the same color, which elongates your silhouette, so call it even!

I’m wearing:

Coat – Shein (check out this real suede one here)
Turtleneck – Zara (similar one here)
Culottes – Chicwish (similar ones here)
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith (lots of options here)
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Michael Kors

Seriously can’t make myself write a decent text here as I’ve got a fun Christmas event tonight, for which I’m getting ready while typing this with one finger. So many things to get excited for this week, and even more later so bear with me!

P. S. The winner of Jane Kønig giveaway is Rebecca Rosén, congrats! The brand representatives will contact you soon and I hope you’ll be able to get your gist just in time for Christmas!

Robe coats are definitely one of my biggest weaknesses this season, and if you remember my love for coats you’ll know I won’t stop until I get at least a dozen, haha. This one from the British store Baukjen I’ve worn like twenty times already, my favorite combos are definitely with my good old Stan Smiths.

I’m wearing:

Here’s a black and white outfit I wore on one of my last days in Paris. The venue of a morning show was next to Pont de l’Alma, which was a great opportunity to shoot this outfit only a 10-minute walk away on Rue de Monttessuy – the place from which, in my personal opinion, the Eiffel Tower looks the most impressive.

Too bad this wasn’t at sunset, the light and the colors would be amazing, but I’m pretty happy about how these images turned out, even though on that day I forgot to take a hairbrush with me, and that for me is worse than forgetting my phone and wallet. Need to brush that hair every 30 min, that’s my secret of staying sane

I’m wearing:

Sleeveless coat – Shein (tucked the collar in for a cleaner look)
Dress – Front Row
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Asos

I can’t seem to catch a break these last couple of days and my istagram is a witness. For an almost full time stylist that I am right now, the new season means work, work, work, plus I’m also working on several fun projects for the blog. But since my bf never had a chance to have a proper vacation this summer due to our (mistly his) busy schedules, we’re taking a few days off to spend some time together in the mountains. Follow my instagram for some breathtaking mountain views the next couple of days.

As for this outfit, for me the length of this dress is the trickiest thing in the world. Because my hips are on the wider side, a mini anything makes my legs look huge (see last picture). However, if I tie a jacket on my hips, it instantly improves the look, so this is a small trick I’m always using with mini skirts.

I’m wearing:

Dress – Tobi
Blazer – H&M
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Asos Everly (on sale, also in white here)
Necklace – Jane Kønig

Here’s my last outfit from Norway featuring a trench coat I bought two hours before my plane, after I saw the updated weather forecast.  As for the culottes, they are definitely my new favorite pants, especially when it comes to summer. I know exactly that with the right length and cut they will look great on anyone! They are super versatile and versatility is a quality I always look for in my garments.

Can’t wait to wear these white culottes with heels and maybe something lighter than a coat if the Norwegian weather stops following me everywhere I go haha.

I’m wearing:

Trench coat – Bershka (similar one here)
Top – Asos
Culottes – Zara (similar ones here)

I have to confess something, which made this journey that much harder – I get carsick almost immediately when I get into a car. Pills usually take care of that problem, but they make me sleepy, so to be able to see everything during our road trip I had to stay sick the entire time! This partially explains my green face on these pictures haha.

Sweater dress – Sheinside (similar one here)
Backpack – Newlook
Sneakers – Adidas (cool ones here and here)

We spent around 5 days just living our life and soaking in the relaxed Norwegian lifestyle in the countryside and also got to explore Oslo, which we visited around two years ago (see some of the snaps from that journey here). 99% of the time it was crazy windy outside so I got hair in my face in almost every picture of me lol. This was definitely not a fashion-related experience so I kept my outfits really simple and comfortable, and I’m really happy I took my Adidas babies with me, those are just the kind of shoes you wanna travel in.

Trench coat – Bershka (similar ones here and here)
Tee – Romwe
