Those billowy sleeves ❤️

Hey hey, long time no black & white #look, right? :) I go for bright colors most of the time but black&white outfits are just so classy and feminine that I actually preferred not to add any other color to this one.

Another thing which I like are the clothing pieces with a twist, like the lovely BLOUSE I'm wearing and which I thought it would make any simple outfit stand out. Why is that? Because of its beautiful billow sleeves, of course. If the bell sleeves were the IT detail for summer blouses last season, this season is all about billow sleeves, which are in fact the poofy sleeves with a cuffed wrist. I don't know about you, but I'm totally into them them since they offer that extra something to a blouse and makes it more interesting. What I also love about THIS BLOUSE is the fact that it has a high neck, but you can find a catchy detail even there, that being the fact that the front part is cutout.
The fabric is, as usual, wonderful - thick, lovely cotton and the quality is amazing. I loved THIS BLOUSE from the moment I saw it online and when I received it was even better. Moreover, it is also very easy to style because of the b&w combo which can be worn with any other color and because of its shape you can also pair it with skirts, pants, or jeans.

This time I chose to wear it with this pair of BLACK CULOTTES, which have risen above my expectations. First of all, I have to tell you that I've been looking for the perfect pair of black culottes the whole summer and I finally found these ones and I'm very happy I ordered them. The fabric is thick and soft, you can wear them high waisted or regular and I love their length - it's exactly what I've been looking for. A pair of culottes can be styled in numerous ways, with heeled sandals (like I wore them), stilettos, flat sandals and even ankle boots or sneakers, which is why you can also wear them in autumn. You can find mine HERE, in black, pink or grey, at a very good price.
You might think that I tend to praise these products too much, but with this online store I reach the same conclusion every time I get a new order: it never ceases to amaze me. :)

As you can see, the accessorising of this outfit is quite simple because I wanted to let the blouse be the "star" of it, which is why I only added a white & black bag and some golden jewellery.

What do you think? :)

Have a lovely weekend darlings,
Andra.

Hello darlings, how is this Monday treating you? I hope you had a perfect weekend and you recharged your batteries for the new week that started. :) After months of basically living in dresses and skirts, there was about time to post something else, right? :) Well, you can't really blame me, that's just what I like to wear during the summer, but now that autumn is here I have to get back to wearing jeans, pants & co. Therefore what better reason to search for a new pair of jeans if not the beginning of a new season which stands in front of us. :)

That's how I found this perfect pair of high-waisted JEANS, in a lovely blue color, with rips and dark blue patches. I was a bit skeptical regarding the fabric and fit when I ordered them, but all my worries disappeared when I received my order and saw them. The fabric is thick and has no stretch, the color is really beautiful and they fit perfectly. Of course, that was not enough, I had to pair them with a lovely white BLOUSE with bell sleeves and super cute bows at the back, just to get that feminine touch that I like so much. The quality of this blouse is also very good and besides that it also looks amazing. Did I mention what I like about this website?? Well, definitely the fact that they have so many adorable & qualitative products at amazing prices which can't be found in stores! You should definitely take a look. The BLOUSE and the JEANS are both on SALE and the shipping is free for orders over 30$.

Finally, I added my blue pair of heels which you already saw several times and my new colorful bag which I adore and which I've been wearing almost continuously since I got it, but I will tell you some more details about it in a future post. Stay tuned!

Wish you all a great week ahead!
<3, A.

70s inspired look

Hey lovelies! Not very long ago I showed you another 70s inspired look and it was all about those kick flared jeans, if you remember (you can see it HERE). This time though I chose a denim skirt which has been in my closet for quite a while but I didn't get the chance to show it to you. As you might know, the button front denim skirts were very trendy during the seventies and so were they this season. I was never that into denim skirts, but this style got to me and I had to have one. However, I didn't want it to be too short because I wanted to be able to wear it with heels too and I didn't want the color to be too dark, nor too light. So after doing some research, I found this one at H&M and I love that it has the perfect length and that denim used-look.

For more seventies vibes I added the off the shoulders white blouse with bell sleeves which I totally love. It is a new addition to my off-the-shoulders collection and I love its light fabric and those large, flowy sleeves which make it so retro. The only problem is that I ordered it a size or two too big and I had to tuck it completely in my skirt as it is almost as long as my skirt, hence the wrinkles on the skirt. That and sitting in the car before the photos were taken, sorry for that! But to go back to the blouse, my advice to you is to always check the sizes and your measurements right (this is also a NOTE TO SELF, :)) ). You can find the blouse HERE for only 9$!

Finally, I added these lovely golden sandals with block heel which I found at Zara on SALE. At the beginning I was a bit skeptical but now I love them so much, they go with almost everything and look amazing. I know I will wear them a lot this summer. :)

Do you like seventies inspired looks?

Hugs & Kisses,
