THINKING DIFFERENT

I always turn my head when I see someone trying something different when it comes to clothes or accessories. It takes guts when it comes to changing fashion and that's not something everybody is willing to do.

If you have a plain or basic outfit try making it different with a bold jacket or eye catching accessories.

Something that is basic in fashion now was once something that people gasped about.

The hair rings were a new trend in 2015 and I'm hoping they will continue into 2016. Also, lace bras I can promise you will keep on going this year.

I bought couple (not to many though!) of long white t-shirts in the past few months and they are a must have. Shirts that go over my back side are my favourites and if you are a girl and do not have that same opinion than GO YOU!

Again with the long white t-shirt, goes with anything, and the bold jacket. The statement on the back of the jacket gives the outfit a different look and also a good bomber jacket is something that everyone should own at least one of.

The sneaker trend was big in 2015 but I'm seeing a lot of black thick heeled shoes going around now. Also Dr.Martens are coming back and I am dreaming of a pair of black leather Dr.Martens shoes (hint: my birthday is in 21 days).

Yes, plain but different outfits are the best outfits. Try a edgy colour with statement jewelry or shoes, and besides, a good pair of ripped high MOM jeans can't fail.

PACKING UP CHRISTMAS

Hi, hello, hello!

So I'm back you guys! Had a great time over the holidays with family and friends and I'm totally ready to take on 2016. I have a good feeling for this one. Turning 20 in 23 days and my mind is filled with ideas.

On new years I desided to go simple but have somewhat bold accessories.

The shoes I ordered from ASOS end they are aaaamazing. I know you are not supposed to say that you love shoes but when it comes to these ones I do, I really do.

ASOS PABLO Platforms

Then it came to the end of Christmas, the 6th of December, and on that day my grandparents host a big party for my whole family so that is a great occasion to dress up.

So this outfit is mostly made out of items I found on sale. The pants I found in a vintage shop and the kimono is from ZARA.

OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Like I told you the other day I enjoy putting together outfits with the things I see on the internet, or I'm trying to convince myself to buy, and lately that has almost been my part time job. It's also a good idea to put together outfits with clothes you already own so you find out endless possibilities. It's starting to get colder in Iceland and I can officially say that summer is over and because of that most of my combinations these days are combined with coats and sweaters.

The gray coat is absolutely beautiful! It also comes in baby blue and is the kind of outwear that goes with everything.

Like you've probably noticed by now is that I am a huge fan of Zara and therefore I wanted to dedicate one of the combinations to Zara. The white furry west is on the top of my wish list and will be until it appears in my closet.

Did you also think of Clueless when you saw the scarf????? I have this one, it's great for winter and oh boy how great it would look if I had a jacket and skirt with the same pattern!

SHOE DREAMING

No matter where I look these days I see a new pair of shoes everywhere that would look perfect on my shelf. Thankfully, some of them are online on a site that does not send to Iceland.

Thick bottom black shoes (or just black shoes) are still calling out for me. Especially the ones that would be great for winter and look perfect with whatever outfit you put together. I gathered a couple of the ones I would not mind having, so I can at least look at them here, although they will not be coming home with me.. well not all of them

The ones in  the top right corner are to die for! Fingers crossed that they will come to Iceland, other wise - if you see them somewhere.... I'm a size 40.

Last christmas I got a pair with a bottom like the ones on the right but they do not come so high up and I really like that about these ones, I would like them better without the Vagabond logo but it's ok.

A pair of sneakers are always a classic longing but the Nike Huarache (the ones to the right) have been on my mind since I saw them in London about two months ago.

Right now I am sitting at a coffee house trying to make the most of the time in-between classes, reading i-D and IN to find new ideas. It's really obvious  what is trending now and what we will be seeing a lot of in the next months, but I'll write about that later today.

  

Enjoy the day.
