Fall 2014 Staple Pieces

Some staple pieces can last you year after year if you pick them wisely. But you can also buy a staple piece that's à la mode à la minute. It lasts you a season, maybe 2 or forever if you don't care about being fashionable. I've selected 4 SP at Zara that you can add to your summer/fall outfits just to keep you a little warmer. Or a lot warmer in winter time ;) like I said, it are staple pieces that you can combine with so many things...

So, here are my obvious pieces.

• Faux Fur Coat



You can buy a black or brown one that lasts you ages or you can look on the bright colorful side! They are classy, warm, cosy and very feminine!

Animal prints have proven to be keepers. They aren't going anywhere and this for a couple of years in a row now! In my opinion, they are a neutral ;) So hot and happening all year around over and over again!

• A Blanket Scarf



Yep, a blanket scarf. That's how my family at least names my newest scarf addition because it is sooooo huge and thick and soft and...



It also reminds me of the real blankets my grandmother had in her sofa when I was a kid :)

So yes you need one of those because the are amazing! Even with a blazer in fall so you can resist those chilly mornings. Or when in a skirt or short you are at least warm on the upper part :) What women wouldn't do to stay fashionable!

• A flanel shirt



Hallelujah for the one who invented it and also for the one who made it fashionable (hmm, should research that!)

It is my favorite layering piece! Even in the summer time with a short and a crop top to balance everything out...

• A hat



Last but not least. It screams fall all over... Kind of protects you from the rain in a stylish way. And lets not forget about a bad hair day!

Boots are also a must but that is pure logic. It deserve a post on its on! What am I saying, a boots Special even! That's how much we love shoes :)

In 2 weeks. Animals are up 1st!

Summer into Fall

I must admit that when I prepared this post last week, the temperatures were perfect for summer into fall outfits. But today is a whole other story :(

Anyhow! Some of you probably live in a warmer climate so it can be of use to some of you...

I'm one of those people who just ain't ready to let go of my summer pieces. Even though Summer OBVS is over, you can prolong your Summer favorites a little longer. Not all of them of course but some have some amazing Fall potential.

It's kind of easy if you have the right pieces. And since it are staple pieces, it's child's play!

• Hat
• Scarf
• Oversized sweater
• Long cardigan
• Boots
• Stockings
• ...

Add some of these to your dress, short or skirt and you are halfway there! Yes, only halfway because the colors or prints better match ;)

Lets have a look at some of my examples!

• A silk lingerie dress



It is such a soft fabric, I absolutely ❤️ wearing this dress! So add some boots, cardigan a scarf and you are good to go! When still too cold maybe add a longer lightweight grey or khaki parka. If I had one, I would :)

• Colorful Pencilskirt



The fabric of this skirt is a little thicker which is a big plus for colder days. It is colorful, perfect for summer time but also fall and winter. Combine it with warmer colors like burgundy for fall and go all black in the winter time. Since the skirt is tight, you can easily wear an oversized sweater on top. Warm and cosy!

• A neutral short



A chic neutral short. A festival t-shirt on top in the summer and a fluffy sweater in fall. Sheer stockings, thick stockings, colorful stockings or black stockings. Completely as you wish! Add a huge scarf and you are out the door...

Ready for fall? I am!

Fall Fashion is at our doorstep

Fall is getting closer. You can smell it in the air. But Summer is still around the corner :) You can still feel it!
Days are getting shorter but sun is still shining.
So don’t put away the summer dresses yet! Nor the skirts or shorts. Just wear a nice jacket or cardigan with it. Some socks, boots, a scarf.



I snooped around the ASOS website, there’s always way too many cute accessories and fashionable clothing. You could make an endless wish list!

But I managed not to be carried away. 9 obvious fall pieces.

1. A big gorgeous leather bag so you can carry a scarf or cardigan to keep you warm(er) at night.
2. A two piece with the most amazing wisteria print.
3. Some loafers with a Scottish print. They scream fall!
4. A darker thicker skirt. You can still wear it with sheer tops. Just add perhaps a hat and a knitted cardigan.
5. A nice floral watch!
6. A jumpsuit is always easy to style.
7. A jumper perfect to combine with a jeans short and black ankle boots!
8. That cardigan is WAUW! Also an easy to combine piece.
9. A houndstooth dress! Another typical fall print.

Love it? I know I do!
