Rodarte for target

Sources: Vanessa, Rumi and Alanna

Another collaboration hit the blogs just after Christmas and this time between Rodarte and Target. This partnership proved to be quite a success,  it didn't take long for the limited edition dresses to hit the blogs. These little piece of effortless sophistication were a real breath of fresh air without being to over the top. It's was all in the details, some more discreet than others.

OTK socks

After the OTK boots phenomena we have been faced with the OTK socks. A trend that was revived by Gossip Girl fans all over the world and when Carrie was seen sporting them at 30+ (to not say 40) then that was it; OTK sock became a trend to be seen wearing. Sure, the preppy look is inevitable when sporting OTK socks but it doesn’t mean you have to look like  sixteen year old schoolgirl.

Floor length

Just like with the wide legs, it’s refreshing to see some floor length skirts and dresses among all the cocoon minis, and shorter than short skirts. They were around all summer being worn in all patterns and colours à la Nicole Richie paired with head bands, gladiators and necklaces. However, this winter they are back in gorgeous greys, creams and black. In my opinion best worn with high hells to avoid looking to much like a bad Olsen copy.

Sorry for the couple days of absence, it’s been very hectic here with Christmas and all the mess that follows, holiday preparations (Rome) and the constant reminder that I have a Thesis to write. Hope everyone had a great and fashionable Christmas.

All Black

I have increasingly noticed that the French but also the Nordics do the “All black” trend to perfection (of course they are not the only ones).They either play around with different textures or add a bold and colored accessory which prevents them from looking dull and shapeless. This is another one of my favorite trends maybe due to the fact that’ I’m utterly crap with colours. I always seem to say well away from colours but they are on my New years resolution list right there at the top with 1) I shall buy no more shoes and 2) Buy less buy better. So lets just say there is a slim chance any of that is ever going to happen.

Love How these girls have dressed down they their LBDs with chunky heels or boots. Great “I didn’t try that hard but yet I still look fabulous” outfits.

I discovered this Dutch blogger not that long ago and really liked her edgy side that she pulls off without ever looking dull. I would need much more than one small photo-set to illustrate just how well she pulls this look off, so I would go and check her out if you haven’t done so already.

Happy Christmas in advance.
