The Buffalo shoes were all the rage when I was 7 years old. I remember that almost everyone had a pair, myself included. Having said that, I would still have to say that I count them among my wardrobe disasters. I was a bit surprised to see that now they are back in! Well they say fashion always comes back. I just think it´s funny that the styles that were in when I was a child have finally made their comeback, however tacky they might have been. Does this mean I´m getting old?
Life is crazy right now, one month left of school and the assignments and projects keep stacking up. Here are a few things making me happy this week and helping me keep sane:
Candles
tons and tons of candles
I´ve become just a little obsessed with scented candles, and I love the candles from Annick Goutal, a more affordable version of their luxurious perfumes. Also to me, candles are a very important winter staple to brighten up dark and cosy evenings.
Frida Kahlo
I am doing a school project on her. She is such an inspiration and her story is amazing , she lived a life filled with passion and suffering. I am amazed at her strength, her passion for life and her colourful character. One of the most fun school related writing I have done in a long time.
El día de los muertos
The mexican equivalent to Halloween. To be honest I find the Día de los muertos much more interresting, because of what the tradition stands for. The mexicans throw a three day festival to commemorate the dead and celebrate life. I can imagine it could be fun to be a tourist in Mexico during el día de los muertos, think that´s something I would like to do.
My black, leopard print collar coat
My best loved wardrobe item right now. Wear it everyday and it makes simple pants and a sweater feel so fancy! Mine is a bit different from the picture, a vintage coat I got for a bargain last spring. The collar comes a bit further down ( kind of like the lining has been turned up into a collar) no pouf at the shoulders and it has a bit more of an A line skirt to it
James Vincent McMorrow
His voice is amazing! I especially like his song We don´t eat. I love songs that feel like a big warm blanket and this is one of them.
The fall and winter seasons are my favourite time of the year, at least when it comes to dressing myself ( Hello party season!). I prefer the warm cosy layers of winter to the revealing clothes of summer. This fall I´m all about comfort and warmth, dreaming of thick, chunky oversized sweaters, maxi skirts, luxurious prints, leather and of course, amazing shoes!
Here are a few things that I would not object to dress up in this winter:
Burgundy - something burgundy coloured, like this cute sheer shirt from Topshop
Leopard print shoes - I love leopard print. It feels so luxurious, and it´s perfect to spice up an all black outfit
T by Alexander Wang velvet maxi skirt - ticks all the boxes for the perfect maxi skirt!
A basic, cosy, oversize T- shirt - ( or one in every colour). Perfect for layering.
black leather shorts - I am obsessed with leather right now - and I can picture myself wearing these with thick woolen tights, knee- high boots and a cosy oversized sweater. Perfect everyday outfit for fall!
Cool wellies - to take on the rainy days in style. These are from Hunter, lovely
An oversize sweater- this one is from Stella McCartney and it´s perfect for days when you don´t feel like dressing up
black leather gloves - because they look so classy (and no one likes to have frosty fingers)
