Cozy jumper

In this look I'm wearing a cozy white jumper, a skinny jeans and a new pair of black leather knee boots. During Winter, I always love to wear big jumpers and a nice pair of boots, it's comfortable and warm.  These days I'm interning at CKS in Antwerp and I'm really loving it. Have a nice day beauties!

Layered

I've seen a lot of layered looks this season. The fun thing about it: it's warm and it looks fashionable. Here is my layered look: a mini skirt from New Look, a vintage white button-up shirt, a blue sweater from Primark, a pair of suede over-the-knee boots, and my Zara studded coat. Have a nice day!

Self-made coat

Yesterday I was wearing my self-made coat for the first time. For school, we had to make the patterns for our own sizes, and eventually stitch the coat. Boy it took me some time :D. I chose a blue rough structured fabric. I have to say, it keeps me really warm. Hope you like it and have a nice weekend!

White

It's my favorite time of the year: Christmas and Winter. This is the most cozy holiday in the year, a perfect time to spend with your family. Saturday the first snow fell in Belgium. I was so happy, it makes everything look so beautiful!
This is what I wore to the Christmas-dinner at my dads: a see through velvet detailed shirt, a black skinny jeans and my over-the-knee boots. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and I wish you guys all the best!

Sweet kisses,

My work

My apologies for the silence these past few days. The end of the school semester is approaching and that means deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. Only two to go, and I'm finished! 
As a last assignment for Pattern Design, we had to create a ball gown for ourselves. I designed a dress with pleats at the top. The rest of the dress was quite simple. I added a little train at the hem of the back, and a split at the front. The dress isn't perfect yet, but this was just the first prototype. I thought it would be nice to share my work with you. Have a nice day!

Wednesday Trend Day: Velvet

Have you noticed the velvet trend? I see it popping up on the streets and in the shops. Oxblood velvet is a real favorite, but also black and green velvet is very popular. The beautiful thing of the fabric is its shimmering. It feels like you're wearing a pyjama, but it looks effortlessly chic. I'm really liking this trend and found some great pieces at Asos!

Leather skirt

Over recent weeks I've become obsessed with this black leather skirt. I often combine it with a simple jumper or a white shirt and some accessories. A leather skirt doesn't need a lot more. 

For the first time this year I'm wearing my fur jacket, and I think it's gonna get a lot of use this season. It's already so cold :D. I hope you enjoy this outfit and have a nice weekend!!

Kisses,
Loo.

Wednesday Trend Day: Sweater dress

Bordeaux sweater dress

Dark blue sweater dress

Camel sweater dress

Pink sweater dress

It's getting cold outside, and that means we can wear cozy warm clothes. A nice sweater dress is a real must-have for this season. It can either be a maxi dress or a mini dress, the length or silhouette doesn't matter. Combine it with high boots, ankle boots, a leather jacket, ... It's your pick! I personally like this trend because it a good knitted sweater dress can keep you warm, but at the same time look very stylish. Have a fun day and get inspired by these amazing looks!

Sweet kisses,

Wednesday Trend Day: Plaid

Dark green necklace, Monochrome B&W T-shirt, Ripped black skinny jeans, Over- the- knee boots, Black flower necklace , Anis jumper, B&W checkered shorts, Black studded Oxfords

It's Wednesday trend day! Let's talk about tartan and plaid. It's a must-have in your closet this fall. I like this trend because it can either look fun and tough or classic and elegant.  I styled two outfits that are both black, white and green colored. I always love to add a contrasting color to black and white, like blue, green or red. You can find the links below the looks! Have a nice day!

Kisses,
Loo. 

Wednesday Trend day: Over-the-knee boots

Let's talk about the next Autumn/ Winter trend: Over-the-knee boots. Some people hate them, other people love them. I personally like this trend. Olivia Palermo has proven it already many times before that it can make you look effortlessly chic. To get you inspired, I gathered some amazing outfits. Always try to combine it quite classic or minimalistic, so that it can't look wrong!

Sweet kisses,
Loo. 

Trend alert: Sangria red

This fall it's all about the sangria color. It's an exotic red and evokes a sense of glamourous adventures. I show you some pictures and items I love. Can't wait to buy an item in this elegant color!

DIY Off the shoulder top

I've been for some days in Leuven too chill, shop and enjoy the last week of holiday before school re-begins. Yesterday I did a little shopping and scored a faux fur coat, which I can't wait to wear in Winter. It is a definite musthave for this season.
The look I wore yesterday: a black coated skinny jeans, a statement necklace and a DIY top. You can find the link to the DIY here by the amazing Geneva Vanderzeil of the blog A pair & a spare. I really enjoyed making it, and thought it would be nice to share with you.

Sweet kisses,

Sandro Paris

When I went to high school in Brussels, I always had to pass through the Antoine Dansaert Street. It's known for its amazing shops like Rue Blanche, Diesel, Mac Line, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Essentiel, Comptoir Des Cotonniers, Bobby Brown, ... It's definitely a hotspot for fashionistas. The store I really loved was Sandro. So therefore I chose now my favorite items of there Fall Winter 2014 collection. Hope you like it!
