Hey loves,

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty busy, but lovely because my parents came to visit us so I'm spending these days with them. Reason for which I didn't have time to show you this new look yesterday but I couldn't wait to do it since it's one of my favourites lately. As I told you two posts ago, I love jumpsuits at the moment therefore together with the floral one I also chose this mustard yellow JUMPSUIT, which is definitely a special and different addition to my wardrobe. It is very beautiful, well made and perfect for summer and I love the fact that it can be worn in both casual and dressy combos.

To be honest, I only had time to wear it for the pics because I took too many clothes with me (as I usually do haha), but I love how well it fitted the beautiful courtyard with olive trees and the pretty Italian house where we stayed. I can't wait to wear this jumpsuit in several other ways during this summer, I know it will be my faithful companion! You can find it HERE, at a very good price.

Do you like to wear jumpsuits during summer or do you prefer dresses? How would you wear this one?

Have a pretty new week,
Andra

Pinks & nudes

Well well, look at me, I'm still sticking to my posting schedule 😆..Sundays are usually for shooting new looks (95% of the cases) and yesterday was no exception, aside from the fact that I didn't quite have anything ready. I mean I had an idea for the first look, which I ended up changing in the end, and no idea for the second one, as in the one you see today. But I was suddenly in the mood for light pinks and nudes and so I went directly to my closet and took my new floral wrap blouse, which is among the last sale pieces I got from Zara. Boy, I sure loved this years sales period at Zara, but that's another story.

I didn't even think that this blouse could look so pretty and delicate, especially when combined with some light pink, but these culottes were the perfect match to it. I got the culottes about 3 months ago and I already wore them several times in different combos, but mostly sporty-chic looks. However, when I see them now paired with high heels I know that culottes look best when worn with heels. :) So anyway, I also added to this look my pair of nude heels and this super pretty BAG and the outfit was ready. What I mostly like about this look is the fact that it is different from what I posted lately and I think it's very feminine, delicate and sweet. 😃 The location also helped a lot, this being my favourite park in Shanghai (I showed you some more pics of it on Instagram. Remember, @andyandra).

What do you think about this look?

Have a pretty new week!

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.
