My Journey Through Life: Fashion

Hello Guys!

Here I am again, searching for something else to do than my thesis! Today we're back with a Trend Check, this time rose Suede Jackets!

I bought one myself two months ago and I really like it! It's perfect for sunny but fresh spring days. I like to combine it with a simple white Shirt and black or blue Jeans as well as white shoes. I also have used the jacket with a mesh black top and black Jeans as well as a pair of sneakers in the same colour as the jacket. Here you can see some streetstyles:

Unfortunately, Polyvore is down... That means that there won't be any more sets whilst I don't find a page that is as good as polyvore was (#petitiontobringpolyvoreback)

But well, the alternative I found instead of sets is a rotating widget with some examples of the type of clothes I would style it. I hope you like it, and if yes (or if not!) please leave a comment! :)

Hey guys!

I'm finally back with a new trend check! I'm sorry it took me so long, have been a bit busy (and mostly lazy 😶) but here we are with the newest trend check about wine red or red ankle booties in general. A few weeks ago I bought some wine red ones myself, that's why I'm soooo into this trend and definitely had to do a post about it. It's not that red ankle booties can be found in nearly every store, they're also all over magazines and instagram.

Here you can have a look on some inspirational outfits I found:

here you have some outfits for winter or coulder autumn days. As you can see in the second outfits, it is possible to combine red and green!

Here you have some styles with jeans for more casual days and spring & summer

Ankle botties can also be combined to skirts, dresses & culottes and as you can see, it looks super chic when combining something in the same red with your booties

And like always, here are three sets I put together with affordable outfits

Hello! Here we are with Day 5 of our Serena van der Woodsen Dress For Less Week.

This outfit is very high fashion (of course since this episode takes part in the fashion city Paris)

It was very dificult to find a similar blazer and the shoes were impossible to be found for an affordable price. So unfortunately, the shoes aren't perfect, but they were the best I could found.

I hope you like it anyways!

Top: Sans Soucis Store ($12)

Blazer: Amazon ($30)

Pants: Very ($35)

Shoes: Heels ($37)

Top: River Island ($9 sso similar here for $11)

Vest: Pretty Little Things ($15)

Skirt: Modalist ($55)

Shoes: Nordstrom ($37 sso similar here for $42)

Hello Guys!

Here I am again with a nearly forgotten theme of this blog: the 7 days Dress For Less!
This time we're having a look on Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl. I'm still into that show (and I'm actually rewatching it for the third time right now). I do like the clothes Serena wears, but sometimes they are a bit short or show a lot of cleavage which I personally don't like on myself.

But now, let's start with the Dress For Less Day 1!

Top: Dorothy Perkins ($26)

Vest: New Look ($44)

Skirt: Boohoo ($14)

Pumps: Rebelle ($43)

Bag: River Island ($48)

Necklace: Belk ($17)

Hey!

I'm back! I know it's been quite a long time, university and life is keeping me busy, I'm sorry....

But here we are, with another Style Crush Sunday, this time with the amazing Sophia Bush!

Some of you might know her as the lovely Brook Davis from One Tree Hill, that's were I got to know here. Brooke was by far my favourite OTH character, and so Sophia also started to be my favourite actress. Not only do I love her as an actress, but as human. She fights for all human rights, and (just look at her Twitter) is really on fire!🔥 And she's so down-to-earth! She doesn't want the best for the rich ones, but for the poors... and she actually writes you back on Twitter (she answered me some days ago). Now more than ever I look up to her as a role model who wants the best for everyone in the world and especially in the US right now... (I actually did write an essay for my portuguese lesson 5 years ago about her as my role model)

But we're not here to talk about politics (if POTUS acts like he's acting until now there will definively be a post, I'm excusing in advance), so we'll have a look on Sophia's style:

Her streetstyle is more casual with Jeans and T-Shirt, for formal events she really likes wearing beautiful dresses.

Here I tried to find cheaper versions of her outfits. On two outfits I found twi possibilities, because I couldn't decide :) I hope you like it!

Blouse: Mango ($20)

Jeans: River Island ($25)

Hey guys!

I know it's been ages since I last posted something, but my internship started in March and I haven't had any time since then...

But here we are with a Steal her style, this time with Zendaya!
She dresses sooo good, but it's really ey- catching, so it's difficult to find similars. But I found an elegant outfit of her's and tried my best to find a cheaper similar. Have a look:

Bralet: Charlotte Russe ($19)Culottes: Boohoo ($29)Heels: Gojane ($35)Bracelet 1: Nordstrom ($14)Bracelet 2: Lord and Taylor ($15)Necklaces: Simons ($15)

Here we have another Trend-Check, this time Culottes! You can see lots of celebrities wearing them, here I've just seen one woman wearing them. If you style them well, they can still look really ladylike even being large. Just have a look here on some inspiration:

In spring and fall or on a less freezing winter day, you can wear them only with a scarf and sweater. You see, it doesn't look bulky!
