Last week as you might have noticed I did not update my blog for a few days, that was because I was in Stockholm visiting my friend Omar that currently lives there. I went for Midsummer, I had no idea about that celebration/tradition and neither had he, and it was the most awesome experience! The big plus too were the Midsummer sales, I can’t deny that.
I had only visited Stockholm once before nine years ago, and it was an express visit so I did not remember the whole of the city and this trip refreshed my memory on the beauty and awesomeness of this amazing city. Last time I visited it was late August and I remember great temperature, not the case now, the difference at this time of the year is around 15ºC from our weather here in Spain. Crazy! I felt I was in late winter or early spring so as you will see the next few outfit posts will be nothing summery, and maybe not much of an inspiration right now, but more suitable for my followers on cold weather, like you guys down on the Southern Hemisphere.
I know we are officially in summer but I labeled them as spring as they were taken under that season.

I’m wearing: Barbour cap, Ray-Ban sunglasses GET THEM HERE, A.P.C striped jumper, The Kooples trousers, Burberry trench GET IT HERE, Miu Miu loafers and Longchamp Le Pliage bag GET IT HERE.
It’s so hot right now, going out in anything but shorts and sandals seems unbearable! Today i’m wearing one of my very old A.P.C shirts. Probably from 2011 or 2012, but I just love it, the shape is just perfect! It’s so hard to find a wider but shorter classic shirt, I find they make them extremely long and in my opinion that is not very flattering, it shortens the figure. The best part of this shirt though is the color, a mix of blue and purple, something like a dark lavender maybe? I’m not sure how to classify it, I think it really depends on the light, but I just love it!
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban sunglasses (get them HERE), A.P.C shirt, Wood Wood shorts and Salt Water sandals that you can get HERE. Handbag is Louis Vuitton.
I decided to start doing a few new things in my blog. One of them is the one garment, three ways (or four: one for each season). Also I came up with the idea of making a summary of my staples, how I wear them and where you can get similar items. Since the weather has been so hot lately, lets start with something you can wear all year long, but that I have been wearing a lot in hot days.
So for today: how I wear my LBD Little Black Dress in hot weather.
1.- I styled my white collar LBD by Sandro with black Chanel flats and my Chanel flap again. For a similar dress I found this one by Boutique by Jaeger that you can SHOP HERE.
2.- I styled my skater LBD by The Kooples with beige Chanel flats and my Chanel flap. For a similar dress this one by Free People is quite close and you can GET IT HERE.
3.- I styled my knee length LBD by Gap with Robert Clergerie heels and yet again my Chanel flap. I found an almost identical dress by Topshop that you can SHOP HERE and a classic pair of heels for a fraction of the price by Topshop too. GET THEM HERE.
For a black chain bag in the line of my Chanel check this bag by Whistles, it’s gorgeous at a much much lower price. SHOP IT HERE.
I know, I know! We’re not even in summer and we already have to think about fall? At least with the weather here it is unbearable to think about this kind of clothing yet, but with my upcoming trip this week to a somewhat cooler place, where spring/summer is not what I’m used to, inspiration is needed! Browsing through designer collections is one of my favorite sources of inspiration, so when one of my favorites came up, I decided to share it with you.
If it were up to me, i’d wear The Row head to toe frequently. All the collections, every single one of them is so breathtaking. The cuts, the colors, accessories, everything is so wearable, and seems so comfortable and so real it is hands down one of the best (in my opinion) every year.
About this particular collection I love the choice of the models, nice, fresh idea to only use mid-age, older models, clothes look just as special and beautiful as in a younger one. I also love the use of the camel color in this collection, the longer skirts, and the footwear, the flat mules I would so love to wear them, a great alternative to loafers and flats.
With this in mind, I know feel more inspired to go back to thicker garments for a few days.
