My plans to create a series of features on more fashionable looks started a long time ago. However, finally getting off the ground took some planning.
The aim of Dani’s Little Book of Fashion is to dissect looks into wearable chunks, that will work for the person carrying it, whatever their personal style.
Wow, it’s been a long time since a post an outfit entry. Laziness. No other excuse. Oh, wait, there is… I always get so fed up with the winter that towards the end I cannot be bothered with the outfits anymore… it’s half not making an effort and the other half not finding them interesting anymore.
But as the new season begins (to try) to come… well…. fresh outfits are fun.
Here are some from the last few weeks (maybe months!):
Flowery trouser from H&M, black cape from Boohoo, black shoes from Christian Louboutin, handbag from Kate Spade.
I know, it has been soooo long since I posted an outfit entry. It is not that I’ve been walking around naked or been wearing track suit bottoms day in and day out – it’s more like a mix of lack of time to photograph and boredom with the winter wardrobe!
But now… winds are (I hope they are) changing…. and I feel excited about wardrobes again! Here is my latest selection:
Tomato red backless top from Boohoo, black pencil skirt from H&M, black court shoes from Christian Louboutin (Pigalle), belt and necklace from Primark, rings from Sobral, Primark and H&M. Bracelet tattoo from Paperself.
When Boohoo got in touch with a collaboration idea, I jumped to it; yes, I would love to how recreate an old Christmas snap.
It’s no news that I love Christmas and it would be great to get involved in a seasonal project with a brand I like and am very familiar with.
I must admit that it took me a while to warm up to Christmas jumpers – in Brazil, where Christmas is in late spring and it is usually boiling, there’s no surprise jumpers are not very popular…
However, given the amazing selection I have found in the past years, in 2013 I bought my first one, and loved wearing it.
I love dressing up, but as the weather becomes colder, I tend to move on to warm and comfy stuff… until I get a little bit used to it and start dressing up again!
I even have an old friend making an appearance again! Here is my pick of what I’ve been wearing lately:
Black jumpsuit from Miss Selfridge, black spiked stiletto from Christian Louboutin (Zappa), necklace and bracelet from H&M, rings from New Look and H&M.
From the gap between posts, you can clearly see I haven’t been as effective as I could on my outfit posts… no, I haven’t been walking around naked (phew), sometimes it is just to do with time to take the pictures, or days I am not that happy with the outfit.
That means, you get my absolute favourites, every time. And you can clearly see I am morphing into cold weather mode. I include one of my fave pieces for autumn, the blanket wrap.
Sequin dress from a shop in the USA – it was a $35 BARGAIN, black courts from Christian Louboutin (Pigalle 100), rings from Sobral and H&M, Naturalash lashes from SalonSystem and MAC’s Lady Danger lipstick.
On top of fur coats, something else I am loving “just a bit” for the new season are capes and wraps. They are perfect for the autumn, drape around you quite nicely and feel super snug.
In a way, writing about coat saddens and excites me in equal measure, as the winter is absolutely not my favourite time of the year – but the prospect of a new coat is, well, rather exciting.
As an imminent necessity that is going to be with you for a very long time *sigh*, you might as well just love the one you have, and wear it with gusto.
It does look like the weather is changing in the UK. So sad to say this in August still…
I do however, still have a few outfits to remind me of summer!
Here are my latest:
Flowery skirt and bralet coordinate from Forever 21, white jacket from H&M, beige peep-toes from Jimmy Choo, white bag from New Look.
