miu miu noir sunglasses


When talking about memorable sunglasses, I bet the following scene pops out in your brain, the iconic Holly Golightly wearing her iconic Oliver Goldsmith shades. Breakfast at Tiffany's is indeed one of my favorite films of Audrey Hepburn, not only because the DVD was gifted to me as a birthday present, but also because of Audrey's pure nonchalance and playfulness that perfectly embodied a modern woman in the 60s. But as the title of this post already suggests, I've recently purchased a pair of miu miu "noir" sunglasses with "cherry" red lenses and here are the pictures I made. I love the tortoiseshell, the 40s vibe, the thin golden details about these sunnies.

loosen it up


Hat: H&M, Top: H&M, Leggings: come on, you can find them everywhere

So I've been wearing eye-liners quite a lot lately and I love it. As a person with monolids, it's hard to do the eye-makeup sometimes because I haven't got a socket line on my eye. The good news are that cat-eyeliners are suitable on almost any eye shape and people without eye sockets tend to age a bit slowlier. Yay.

The photograph above was edited with my sister's bamboo pen tablet, which turned out to be way more useful than I thought it'd be. The backless top that I'm wearing in the picture is one of my favorite things at the moment. The viscose fabric is cooling and super comfortable for summer days. I've also noticed the big presence of black and white posts lately and I promise more colorful stuff is coming up. See you.

grandma's blazer


I'll just start this post by singing: "I wear ya grandma's cooooat, I look incredibleeeee..." In this case, I was wearing MY grandma's blazer, which she purchased at least 25 years ago. The great thing about vintage clothing? They are unique because no one else owns it; they have this outdated look that is different than vintage-inspired clothing you can find in stores; they usually have nice quality because fashion at that time was not cheap like it is today. A time where fast fashion has not yet been inventend, imagine that!

Anyway this plaid wool blazer with its nostalgic oxblood color was very fun to wear and is suprisingly wearable in a contemporary sense. Thank you grandma for being fashion-forward and I hope I can raid more oldie-but-goldie items from your dusted suitcases in our cellar...

pure transparency


(All images above: H&M)

There is something sensual about sheer clothing in womanswear. A see-through yet not completely unveiling blouse is, for instance, way sexier, if I might say so, than a bare cleavage. You probably have noticed it already, black chiffon skirts and transparent silk shirts were too popular last spring summer season.

But did you know that light-colored sheerness is coming up? Transparency's everywhere now, on sunglasses (see the sporty one above with multi-color-reflecting touch), shoe's heels, bags (clutches preferably) and of course, also on clothings.

Pair these airy  pieces with bold, masculine bottoms or jackets to compensate the fragile nature of sheerness. Those bleached and destroyed pants from H&M can add craziness to any outfit that might be a bit too "soft". At the end of the day, we are rulers of our own personal style, so go ahead and wear sheer fashion the way you like it best.
