16 ways to style a kitten heel this spring

fashionagony — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:59:19 +0000

The effect trends have on us is incredible! A couple years ago I’d say this is the ugliest shoe style and this year I’m obsessed! Kitten heels are the ultimate fashion shoe of the season and they elevate even the simplest looks, but make it in a way more sophisticated way than your regular stiletto heels would. Do you own a pair of kitten heels? If no, take a look at what I found in my favorite online stores.

how to wear this fall’s key accessory

fashionagony — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 16:04:39 +0000

I don’t know how I lived without a beret before! I mean it’s always been there in my hat drawer but I just didn’t feel like putting it on and looking ridiculous up until this fall. Now I have two of them and I think I want more! A simple woolen or leather beret elevates any blazer and jeans outfit like no other accessory and the whole french vibe going on right now becomes easily attainable for even the laziest of us. Are you on board with this trend?

I haven’t published any of my Cravings posts for a while so I thought I’d share with you one of my most recent addictions: dusty rose and blush pink (aka rose gold, nude pink, powdery rose, rose quartz or peachy pink, if there’s even a difference, I’m confused!) It’s these shades of pink we’ve been seeing all over Instagram thanks to certain Kardashian/Jenner personas (that’s officially the first time these surnames are mentioned on this blog!), who I totally blame for setting this fashion trend.

In case you’re wondering, how to wear blush and rose quartz, these shades look especially powerful in shiny textures like satin or simple fitted garments like turtlenecks and bodysuits, also they look amazing paired with light khaki and silver gray hair, if you must go all the way I’m definitely surrounding myself with these colors asap, if you’re not a pink person but wanna try, I suggest going for an accessory like a bag or a pair of sneakers in blush or nude pink.

9 tricks to make your winter outfits interesting

fashionagony — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 10:25:10 +0000

As a personal stylist I often find my clients struggle the hardest with their winter style. To be honest I sometimes struggle too, especially since I’m living in a climate where below zero temps are not uncommon for winter months. Most of the time the first things I’m thinking about when it comes to winter style are skinny jeans, heavy boots and lots of knitwear, but let’s face it, such combos are boring.

I’ve drawn up a small list of tricks I’m using to make my winter outfits less boring, when I’m in the mood for it. Are you using any of these? How do you spice up your winter outfits?

1. Ponchos and capes

Just throw a long poncho over your average winter outfit or replace the usual scarf and you immediately look like someone rushing to a fashion show!

exciting jeans styles for fall and winter

fashionagony — Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:41:23 +0000

I don’t about you guys but for me finding the perfect jeans is one of the ultimate life goals along with building a successful career and buying my own house and it’s always lingering at the back of my mind wen I’m shopping. I love how with every year the trendy denim is becoming less distressed, less skinny, looser, more high waisted, and a lot more exciting with all the frayed edges, patchworking and large cuffed hems. Skinny jeans won’t go anywhere but isn’t it amazing to wear something that you feel a lot less self conscious, and dare I say, a lot cooler in? For me these are wide leg jeans, cropped flares and mom jeans.

While the (hopefully) perfect pair of denims is on its way to me, here’s a little bit of inspiration and tips on where to buy cool jeans for fall and winter, in case you guys are on the hunt as well.

fall must have: a pleated skirt

It’s funny how certain styles are trending every year and by the end of the season everyone’s fed up with them, but the following year the excitement is there again. Fashion! To be honest, I’ve never had any particular interest in pleated skirts, not when they were bright maxis, or pastel chiffon midis, or graphic asymmetric whatevs and I don’t remember if I ever had one. This season though I’m really inspired to get one and wear it with sweaters and all kinds of masculine shoes.

sunday cravings: gladiator sandals

fashionagony — Sun, 05 Apr 2015 13:02:38 +0000

Along with suede and flared pants gladiator sandals have to be one of the hottest fashion trend of Spring – Summer 2015. They have been around for a while, but this season the catwalks literally exploded with all kinds of gladiators: dark and light, tall and short, suede and leather, heeled and flat. Chloé and Valentino, Alberta Feretti, Stella McCartney, Isabel Marant, Balmain and Rodarte are just a few of the designer brands that showed us how to wear gladiators in 2015. And what makes me super happy is that this sandal is no longer just a bohemian of festival accessory, it looks just as great with cocktail dresses and shorts suits, let alone denim skirts and dresses.

What do you guys think of the gladiators?

flat shoes: new fashion reality

fashionagony — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 15:33:23 +0000

I wanted to share with you a couple of my favorite flat shoe outfits from my tumblr, but then it turned out there are so many of them I couldn’t help making a full-fledged Sunday Cravings post. The reality is this: you no longer need heels to look stylish, trendy and fashionable. I guess it’s not news for any of us, but maybe saying it out loud will help us realize this and stop spending fortunes on pumps and sandals that end up hurting our feet. I personally am thrilled that fashion is moving in this direction, what about you guys?
