PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket




I don’t think there is a lot of explanation needed on how to make this VPL inspired necklace. All you will need:


a wire


a hose


scissors


What do you think?


What’s going on in your life? I really want to hear more about my readers :)





Much love, babes!

Happy Weekend! / Fashion Film



British director Jonny Kight brings to you this little quirky fashion film staring Madalaine Hart. I just thought this would be such an appropriate start for the weekend. And I’ve been after a heather gray jersey skirt for a while so if you see one, please let me know! :) Styling by Hudson.

Much love, babes!!

monochrome / DIY


PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
cropped denim shirt - vintage / cut-off leggings - old / visor - flea market / lipstick - Revlon (677 Siren)





I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks that monochrome everything is awesome. As you can notice, the color of the buttons on my denim shirt in first two pictures is different than the last one. The last picture is what they looked like before I painted them with acrylic paint - they had ugly crystals on them, and actually what made it even worse that some had fallen off, but some were still on there. But that’s in the past now, the buttons have been painted, and this vintage shirt is ready to have second BETTER life. If you follow me on instagram or twitter you probably already saw that, yes, I have fallen for the visor trend inspired by McQueen. Now I’ll just have to get a mirror one.


Ciao, babes!!

get dressed with Bloggers Wardrobe














Images: 1. Oscar Magnuson 2. Gestuz 3. Finsk





Meet Bloggers Wardrobe, the first of it’s kind online community and designers' store where bloggers can shop completely free. Yes, I know this seems too good to be true, but this online heaven actually exists. The reason Bloggers Wardrobe is so noteworthy is not only the excellent selection of designers represented (some of my favorites - accessorize with some cool spectacles from Oscar Magnuson, get your outfit from Gestuz, label that represents the impeccable Scandinavian style, and, of course, an absolute necessity is the slightly futuristic yet classic Finsk shoes), but their truly anticipated manifesto - to help bloggers and designers connect without sacrificing either party’s independence and honesty. This is very important for me since I do not want to be influenced by masses but develop style that is minimalistic and conscious of my consumption, and hopefully inspiring for others as well.

excuses are well planned lies

bomber jacket, silk tee, skirt, shoes - thrifted / gold ear cuff - ebay


Time to stop making excuses and make things happen because excuses are nothing else but “well planned lies” (Dani Johnson) And when you think about it, don’t you agree? At the end of the day that is the truth. A little motivational bit for myself, and hopefully for someone else as well.


Love you babes!

take control


PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
cardigan, sheer tee - American Apparel / cracked denim - Forever21+DIY / shoes - BCBG (thrifted) / choker - H&M / ear cuff - ebay


*gave my ugly jeans from Forever 21 second BETTER life by painting them with acrylic paint (original DIY project on Love Aesthetics)


*gave my AA sheer v-neck second life by wearing it backwards because I’m over v-necks


*accidentally gave my AA cardigan second life by shrinking it in the dryer


Feels like a successful outfit for somebody that is determined to be a conscious consumer.





much love, babes!


good listening.
