Fashion Against Aids

The FAA H&M collection was a huge success and the next day all over the fashion blogs, fashionistas were sharing with their readers their favourites picks and the items they had gotten their hands on. I was really looking forward to seing all of these colourful pieces worn differently. I was kind of disappointed as I don't feel like I came across as many outfits inspired by the FAA collection as I had hoped. This being said I still wanted to hare with you some of my favourite items worn in various differnet and inspiring ways.

Trousers: Green & Grey

Here is a trend that started way back in winter 2009 and is still very much present, especially with the fashion bloggers. Cargo green trousers have been seen sported everywhere and have been given a very feminin touch and so has the dull grey 'sweat pant'. Indeed, trousers seem to be lately either printed, or cargo green and soft grey. I am glad to say I own a pair of both! What are your go to trousers this season?

Cropped fur & gold

As a child I never wore a coat, this was one of the ongoing battle between me and my parents. And this seems to have stuck with me over the years. I never liked wearing coats and the whole hassel of carrying them around and most of the time I simply couldn't find a coat that I felt worked well with my outfit. However, recently I have discovered, not only the joys of being warm (hum hum) but also how a simple statement coat/blazer jacket can really pull an outfit together. So as summer start, I find myself with a useless new obsession; coats and outerwear. As I have said time after time, trends are just not for me I can never seem to follow them in time.

Anyway I thought I would share with you two types of outerwear I am really loving right now, to change things up a bit as I have been obsession over trench coats for too long. I am really liking the whole cropped fur jacket which really does change an outfit from boring to exciting and I am loving the whole gold blazer look which for me it the perfect outerwear fro summer. It looks great worn as a casual day time look and is perfect to throw over any evening look. I actually have this gold blazer worn here and dressed down a while ago. Funnily I found it in a thrift shop and then all of a sudden it poped up in all the H&Ms.

What will your coverup for this summer be? Any particular outerwear you have your eyes on?

Seeing double

Inspiration comes mostly from others not from ourself, and anyone who tells you they are never inspired by others is probably not being completely honest with you. Why am I telling you this, because this was partly the reason why I started this blog, so many of you, yes you out there, inspired me in one way or another or just simple gave me a good idea at some point. And you have to believe me when I told ou that every picture that I ever spend more han 5 seconds looking is saved in Iphoto. Wich brings me to today's post and title. When I was looking through my collection of 'inspiration pictures' I came across these two, I just think it is great that two ladies living in different parts of the world managed to get up one morning and dress almost identical. You have got to love the blogosphere for this.

On a trend subject, it looks like peach/pink is the colour to go to this Summer in terms of jackets. I am still not quite sure what I would look like wearing peach but I think it might soon be time to find out as I am increasingly loving this trend.
