moonofpaula: August 2017

To be honest, I hate waking up early. There is nothing that I love more than sleeping in, staying a bit longer in bed, having a long breakfast and just doing nothing the whole morning. But there is one person who can somehow convince me that waking up at 6 is a good idea, and it's my dear friend Luka (Expensive Reality). So yes, the look on my face is complete tiredness, but hey, I finally got to see this cutie after almost a month. Maybe waking up early for some good company isn't a bad idea.

Today's outfit is yet another simple black & white one, my go-to colour combo. This oversized white blouse that I tied in the front is from Zara, and it's one of my favourite pieces as you can literally wear it with anything. I decided to wear it with these cute plaid high waisted shorts which I got at Forever 21.

For the accessories, I decided to go light so I just stacked some simple golden necklaces as well as rings. The shoes are brand new & I just had to wear them straight away, they're black lacquered loafers from Mango, and they're just too cute. Can't wait to style some more outfits with them!

Let's get real here, is there any other way to spend a Saturday with your best friend than eating pancakes for breakfast, cycling to the city, visiting an art exhibition and eating sushi & drawing while sitting on the grass in the middle of the town? Well, for me that is perfect. Especially when you know those are some of some of your friend's last days in you hometown.

What I decided to wear for this "out in the city" type of day is a casual almost all black outfit. My new crop top from Tobi finally arrived, and it's a beautiful shirt with bell sleeves and a cute red-purple floral pattern. To keep it kind of simple and casual, I out on my black high waisted shorts from H&M, which are my go-to item during these hot summer days.

Considering accessories, I decided to be simple and, as usual, put on my black choker from Pull&Bear, and to add a few simple golden rings from Primark. The shoes are my all time fav old school Vans, they go well with everything, and are such a must have item in everyone's closet.

Nothing better than that one colder week in August when you can finally take a break from the heat and jump back into those shoes and blazers that you love, without melting. It was finally enjoyable to be out, and so I went to the city of mine and finally met a fellow blogger whose fan and follower I've been for years, the lovely Ana from Psycho Couture! I couldn't have wished for a better Saturday coffee (read that as cocktail) company. <3

I was finally able to wear layers, and oh my was I happy about it. Also, I finally took my new sparkling skirt from Mango for a walk, I love the cut and the color of it, as it goes well with both black and white. On top of that I wore a simple black crop top from Primark and one of my go to items, a long black blazer from H&M (it has pockets, everything that has pockets is a must buy.)

For the accessories, I put on my black choker from Pull&Bear, as well as stacked some golden, white and black bracelets, some from H&M, and some collected on trips as memories. To match the black vibe of the outfit, I wore my black ankle boots from Pull&Bear, perfect for this type of mixed weather. The bag I have is from H&M, and the ring is from Primark.

Somewhere between dying of the heat and binge watching Entourage for hours, I found time to finally meet up with my friend Luka from Expensive Reality for a long needed early morning coffee, hangout and a shoot. Nothing much, a black and white outfit as usual, but this time with a twist, a throat twist.

If you're a part of the "alternative music" scene, you probably own a dozen shirts from your favourite bands, but people somehow neglect the bands from their hometowns. Not all, don't get me wrong, but when you do you research, you can find some truly amazing bands. And so, thanks to my friend, I found ThroaTTwisteR, a band which describe themselves as "a mix of groove/math/hc riffs interconnecting with precision drums that splash into a growling low end and finishes off with a nonparallel vocal onslaught." Pretty brutal right? Well, so are their shirts; a super detailed black design from Cao Oac on a white shirt is exactly what everyone needs, and what makes it even better, is that you know you're supporting your local band. So, if you're into that type of music, check out their Facebook, Instagram and Bandcamp page. Plus, they even have their own beer, when will you be as cool as that?

I matched the ThroaTTwister tee with plain black high waisted shorts from Pull&Bear, to keep the centre of the outfit on the shirt and it's design. One of my favourite recent purchases is the Nike hat I got at Asos, so lets just thank the universe for summer sales. Other than that, I am wearing a black backpack and my fav sneakers, Nike Roshe. Considering jewelry, I am wearing a Circle choker from Creative Mess chokers, just a subtle touch to this casual outfit. Oh and remember, support your local band.
