Happy Monday! Glad you stopped by! I am all about classic, timeless pieces that will always stay in style and help you reinvent your staples year after year. Hence for today’s post I decided to pull some of my fashion staples.

I am wearing a polka dot blouse with an old pair of ripped jeans, and a classic trench coat. I love this classic – yet fun look, and it’s certainly casual enough to chase after my 3 year old son (by changing to flats, though!).

PS: How awesome are those spike earrings from These Odds?! Based in Atlanta, ‘These Odds’ are known for recycling and up-cycling homeless pieces, and for graciously giving us an opportunity to shed light on the value of clothing that others may have over-looked or simply forgot about.

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Monday!

Happy Friday, lovelies!

 We’ve had amazing weather the last couple of days which gave us the opportunity to spend some quality time in our favorite city: C H I C A G O. Yes, I am very much a city girl! There’s nothing else I enjoy more but stroll around the city with my family, grab a cup of coffee on the go, and watch the world go by at Millennium Park.

I am wearing a lace dress from OASAP which I have paired with one of my favorite biker-esque jackets (which I have purchased a while back in Germany), and my cozy faux fur scarf from H&M! This look is super chic for a stroll downtown, and yet comfortable enough to have fun with the fam(ily)!

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a great weekend! See you back here on Monday!

I have a healthy obsession with faux leather pants. They are edgy yet chic, and let me tell you: They are super comfortable! I received these faux leather pants from Bohme as part of our collaboration, and I am completely smitten! Faux leather pants are so versatile too – simply pair them with your favorite sweater, or a fun graphic tee and you are all set! I paired mine with a neon sweater (I still cannot let go of bold colors!), and my new MUST HAVE item for autumn: The Fedora Hat.

Warning: You will see me rock the fedora hat on several more occasions!

As always, thanks so much for reading & a BIG THANK YOU to Bohme for sponsoring this post!

I must admit: I am completely M.I.D.I smitten! Midi skirts are my new mini’s, and it certainly helps that they are massive this season! Everywhere I look I find myself surrounded by them which makes me even happier! A good midi skirt urges me to channel my inner fairytale-meets-Grace-Kelly, and let’s face it: Who doesn’t want a Grace Kelly moment? I certainly do! These beautiful skirts (which rest so effortlessly on our lower body) scream exaggerated beauty to me, and whether you are on the hunt for toned down hues or bold neon shades, prints or patterns – simply go for it and be transformed! I bet YOUR inner retro doll (in a very modern sophisticated way) is waiting to be unleashed too!

What are your thoughts on midi skirts?! I would love to hear from you!

As always, thank you so much for reading & have a great day!

 My heart is seriously in the clouds when I’m wearing this beautiful floral skirt from Choies. I’ve told you on Monday that I have started a collaboration with them, and I cannot help but swoon every time I wear one of their items. They have by far the most amazing midi skirts I have ever seen/worn (check out their midi collection here). I have paired the skirt with a fabulous lace blouse which I have also received from Choies, and my favorite clutch from Mellow World.

Speaking of Mellow World Handbags:

I have GREAT NEWS for you! From now on you can get 10% OFF A.L.W.A.Y.S when you use my coupon code ‘MW10VWEAR‘ at checkout! Yes, ALWAYS! So, head on over to www.mellowworld.net and shop, and don’t forget to use my coupon code!
