Outfit Post; Summer Leather

I have a confession to make... I have been lusting after (faux) leather! It is not only hot* in the summer, but one of falls biggest trends. I feel like summer is almost really over, the weather is getting a little breezier with a crisp fall-ish wind. I say come on over fall!

 *HOT adj., hot·ter, hot·test.

Most recent; new or fresh: a hot news item; the hot fashions for fall.

Lunch time; Tomato Chutney Crostini

 Whats for lunch this weekend?

how about some home-made tomato chutney (from my aunties kitchen with custom made labels from this website "here"), My new favorite cheese, Old Amsterdam and some avocado. The ripe saltiness of the cheese and that soft buttery taste of the avocado go very well with the kick of the tomato chutney. Perfect for this weekend's brunch.

Happy Weekend!

Outfit Post; Black 'n White & Pink Bauble

 Three of my favorite items in one outfit. The summer's must have necklace from Ily Couture, my burgundy shorts I scored in the mens department of H&M and my black & white stripes. I cannot wait to wear all these items in fall, since I think they will all transition just perfectly. 

What's your favorite summer item, you cannot wait to wear in fall?

DIY - Studded Top

An easy way to up-do any top that you have had in your closet already. Get yourself some (preferably colored) studs for that extra pop. then simply take 5 minutes of your time to measure out where to place them and then stick them on. Do not forget to place an old news paper in between to prevent both sides of the top to stick together.

 Volia! an easy way to up-do your top!

Styling Tips; Transitioning to Fall

Slowly, but surely fashion is transitioning to fall. The latest collections in all stores are fall fashion. And even though it seams that the weather and myself are not quite ready yet for this transition, I am looking forward to layering, new color pallets and interesting fabrics and textures. 

Below some summer to fall styling :)
