Layering in the Sun

With fall nearing to an end and winter approaching, I think back at layering fashion in the cold. Living on an island with a 30*C average, it is very unlikely to layer. However I figured a fun different way to wear items I already own, is to layer.

Now you could always throw on a khaki trench coat (like "this" or "this") and a pair of chelsea boots. For now I will stick to my sandals and imagine what I would have worn if still living in a four season country.

Asymmetrical Knot

 Get your self something asymmetrical-knotted-tied-front this season. Inspired by designer Helmut Lang. It is a design that flatters most body types.

3 Ways; Denim, Denim, Denim

Since I have moved down to the island, I can count on one hand how often I have worn jeans. However there are more ways to wear denim. It does give a casual touch, but may be worn more than just in the weekend.

Wear a denim strap dress, layered over a t-shirt or frilly top. Dress it down with trending lace-up sandals or dress it up with wedges or clog-style heels.

Last days of summer, wear denim espadrilles with a white eyelet dress. You may also opt for denim loafers or sneakers for fall (like "these").

Espadrilles; Bamboo (similar styles "here", "here" and "here")

For a feminine style knot a button-down chambray top and wear it with a midi skirt.

Flora

Okay, my love for bougainvillea has grown to an obsession, but they are so pretty! My love for black and white stripes combined wit a flower print has also extended to a slight obsession. It is the perfect balance, two opposite prints and color vs monotone.

Pink & Other Stories

 This spring it's all about the pinks. In Milan I went on this beauty haul and stocked up on the pinks at &Other Stories. Foe those who know this store, I also happily share that you can expect the first one in Amsterdam end of this year (situated in Heilige weg). Unfortunately for me I won't be around Amsterdam since I am moving back to Curaçao this week. Cannot wait to wear these fresh bright pinks on the island!

Recreate the look; Lace all over

Yesterday I posted an upcoming trend; "Head to toe; Lace" (view it here). I recreated one of the spring looks by pairing black lace shorts and a black lace top and accessorized it with bold gold earrings a la Dolce & Gabbana Resort14. It's as easy as that! Now how about trying it in any other color.... Happy Weekend
