Happy New Morning!

My dear friends!

Cheers to a Happy New Year. I wish you a full life of the mind exhilarated by new ideas and intoxicated by love!! This year rise above the little things, change what you don’t like and enjoy the company of people you love as much as you can!

I am particularly happy as this is my first post for 2017 and I look forward to a year full of inspiration and creativity, not only in fashion but in all aspects of life.

How beautiful was it that we had a white Christmas this year? I’m sure we all froze but I’m also positive that we have all enjoyed it.

Today I was inspired by what seemed as a sunny morning (which suddenly changed causing me to run in the rain trying to find a place to hide!)

So the morning mood called for floral! Floral is a big trend this winter. We saw it on the runway in maxi dresses combined with boots and wintery cardigans! Today I chose this long sleeve mid-length dress with 2 front splits (I love double splits) and I combined it with my gray over-the-knee boots and long mohair cardigan. I like the contrast of the seemingly summerish colors of the dress and the dullness of gray.

My advice to you for the New Year: Try new things, experiment, don’t be afraid to change. Nothing changes if nothing changes…….

And then the rain hits....

In embroidered we trust!

Well hello hello there my dolls!

I hope you had a creative and fashionable weekend!

Today I will be focusing on a trend that I’m sure you all know! (if you are a red-carpet watcher you definitely know about it already). EMBROIDERY!

Embellishments, beading and embroidery have been around for a good while now. Good news for me!! I looooveeee embroidered clothes. I was even embroidering my own clothes in the past! I used to decorate them with little flowers, beads or even painting them.

The trend applies to almost anything!! From bags, to shoes, to jackets and of course on all types of fabric. And surprisingly on leather as well! It softens up the “traditionally rebellious” nature of leather as we know it!

Like this skirt I am wearing today. Love at first sight… Look how a simple A-line leather skirt is immediately transformed with embroidered flowers!

I know that I have told you many times there are no rules in dressing as long as it makes you feel good! However, a small piece of advice (always in my opinion). Do not overdo it! One piece at a time! (ok maybe 2 if it’s on a purse or shoes), otherwise your outfit will be too “loud”.

I combined my mini skirt with a tail tuxedo jacket, a piece I got from one of my trips to Brussels and which I love because it’s elegant and more interesting than most of my plain blazer jackets.

So a total black outfit interrupted by a dash of colorful embroidered flowers……
