Oversized Clutch

An essential during the day and in the evening. Little versions are cute to go out but you can only fit your lipstick and your keys; your mobile phone will be more difficult to squeeze in!

I prefer the envelope versions where you can fit everything, even your iPad. They are very practical, plus, they can turn a day look into a night one.

I would wear them every day, they are so comfy. So, if you want to release your shoulder and back from the weight of your packed satchel, try the oversize or envelope clutch.

Moreover they often have a detachable shoulder strap that you can clip it if your hands are full of shopping bags.

I wear the leopard print version of Zara very often, it gives glam and transforms your plainest look into a chic one.

What happened to Georgina Goodman?

Last spring, I discovered a British footwear brand GEORGINA GOODMAN, it was new to me (though she had been designing shoes since 2002) and I immediately fell in love with her designs; eye-popping, original and sky high!

The label's signature is the striped sole. I really liked two styles:

The bubble platform is fun and comfortable and the color astonishing.

I was captivated by the striking raised cuff of the Dara's style, very stylish!




During the summer I read on their website that the company has gone into administration and ever since no news. Don't even know if their shop in London (Old Bond street) is still open...

Do you know what happened to Georgina Goodman?

Sneakers Must Have´s

Featured in every streetstyle photography; sneakers are in every fashionista and celebrity must-have list.
In this post you will find the coolest and craziest sneakers; studs, glitter, satin, suede, python; all materials and colours are allowed plus they are comfortable, warm and perfect for a long day out.
They will give an extra effortless accent to your edgy daytime look.

My favourite brands are Lanvin and Miu Miu, though I have to say the Louboutin are pretty cool!

For daring people; Louboutin’s: spikes, brass and colourful high sneakers



Lanvin's pink satin sneakers, so cute



Lanvin’s high top sneakers in suede and python-print details in the front and back

Isabel Marant's high suede sneakers; I have seen them in many streetstyle looks in New York and celebrities love them too, what do you think?

Classic styles and patterns never die away!

Houndstooth  transcends seasons, this black and white pattern historically associated with menswear, is totally in for women and featured in dresses, skirts and shoes!

I discovered this gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo pumps in one of the YSL shops in New York.

The shoes already speak volumes, pairing them with a simple outfit will work better. There are different ways you can work these pumps, I have worn them with a pencil skirt, black narrow leg pants, silk blouse and they add some 60’s chic to the look I love.

Besides you can wear them to work and in the evening, versatile, very wearable. Though wearing these sky-high 10.5 cm heels (with internal platform) all day might kill your back and feet J

The pumps feature black patent leather patches on the front and the back with brogue detailing.

Girly and tough


The quintessential of this season is the sweater; I went looking for one and found one with a twist; a two-piece garment consisting of a tutu and a cosy and warm stretch layer.

Every girl has a ballerina inside but wants to avoid the princess look, how to pull off the ballerina look and own it?

Add some edge by wearing it with leggings or skinny black jeans tucked into your favourite biker boots.

A leather jacket will complete the biker chic appearance.

And accessorise the look with an oversized watch and edgy jewellery (leather, studded pieces or a skull ring will work) but don't over do it!

Did you know that Versace has created a cruise collection for H&M?

Last year Versace surprised us with a very nice collection that disappear in no time from the shops. The leather dress and jacket were amazing. Now, we have a new opportunity to get an exclusive Versace design from the cruise collection they have created for H&M. The Versace collection will be available on the 19th of January in all countries with online stores.


Note on your calendar: 19th of January

The collection is conceived as a holiday collection with fruit and butterfly-print patterns on dresses, pants, bikinis, accessories and shoes, a summer look that will also wear in the spring.





Love the white skinny pants and ballerinas




The fruit based pattern bikini is really cute.



Check out the butterfly armbands! really nice for the spring/summer.

Biker Boots for every look

The must of this season: BIKER BOOTS. Do you want to toughen up your look? You can wear them with skirts and dresses, they will make the girly looks, more trendy and tougher.

Studs are a plus!
Some of my favorite biker boots of this season:

Ash, available on-line www.ashfootwear.co.uk



Love the trash boots though last year the studs were brighter and they looked better.


HTC from trendy LA, I have only seen them in Antwerpen and on-line in Zalando. They are more difficult to find...



Tony Mora, located in Mallorca and available on-line (www.tonymora.com) 



Sendra, Spanish brand; check their online website (sendra.com). Very popular in Spain and the Netherlands





Zara, you can find them in www.zara.com and in all their stores. They are part of the new collection so do not expect to buy them on sales.



Despite being very fashionable, I have not seen many people wearing them in the streets, why? They are comfortable, warm, trendy and nice. Send us a picture wearing biker boots with your style.
