Blue is a classic color and a staple in my wardrobe. Pairing blues together can be a little intimidating though. Do you choose pieces with the same tone? One that's lighter on top? Darker on bottom? Different textures? A print?

Well, the first trick is to make sure that the piece on top is a tad lighter than the piece on bottom. It's a little more pleasing to the eye and seems to make sens. I also like the blues to have a slightly different texture. In this case, I chose a light blue silk blouse to pair with my navy pants. When pairing two of the same colors together, I try to keep the rest of the outfit more neutral, that's why I have chosen this grey maxi bag from H&M. The truth is, I love how all the blue hues work together here, making an otherwise office outfit slightly more chic without being calculated. Effortless chic, that elusive goal:)

Style is all about feeling like yourself in whatever it is you decide to wear. Dressing up in the morning should feel like you are putting on your second skin rather than a costume. I love feeling and looking effortlessly cool and chic when I'm up for the day.

Since I like to keep it minimal and clean I'll usually throw statement shoes and maybe a statement lipstick. This time though, I skipped all that and opted for a fun statement sweater. I love the way the colors on the sweater matches the gloves, but doesn't take away from the outfit. Adding the blumarine coat gave it that final chic factor, which I absolutely adore.

Those of you who read my blog on regular basis already know that accessories are my favorite way to add a little pop to any outfit. I bet you've got yourself a pair of nude pants and a basic, navy coat in your closet, right? So, use this combination as a base, add on some fun (and colored, of course) accessories and see how you can create a totally different look!

There is just something about a girl who fearlessly rocks RED lipstick. And when I say red, I'm not being exclusive to the literal color red ( I wouldn't dare to be so unimaginative)-I'm referring to the myriad of colors that fall into the unapologetically bold category. A red lipstick girl doesn't subscribe to the overly simplistic stereotypes that girls are supposed to be meek, shy and fearing their own shadows. Regardless of her personaly style, a girl who rocks red lipstick unearths the sweet nostalgia of old Hollywood, and in this dull age of "natural beauty" she's a breath of fresh (yet vintage) air.

A red lipstick girl prefers champagne to beer, heels to flats, steak to gluten-free vegan salad. She knows how to live and she definitely understands the concept of live fast, die gorgeous.

Red lipstick girls choose FASHION over FUNCTION and are willing to suffer mild discomfort in order to contribute to the overall glamour and beauty of the world.

For those of you out there that have previously dodged giant scarves because you are convinced they can only make you look like you're wearing a blanket, think again! If you've written them off before as being too chunky or difficult to style, I promise you need to give them another chance ASAP. As the weather dips, you'll definitely thank yourself for your courageous fashion move.

They are warm, cozy, comfortable and wonderful and they just might be my favourite trend of the fall and winter season this year. I own a bunch of them and I love using them as scarves, makeshift ponchos or capes, shawls and yes, even a blanket :)

For today's look I've decided to go monochromatic allowing the scarf to take all the compliments. Isn't this yellow mustard stunning? Nonetheles, I must confess that I love the coat also. It is super warm, cute and will go...well..with almost anything. And what about the sweater? You know me, I am a sucker for details. Never a fan of anything plain, I always look for those special little extras that add a bit of charm and character and make everyday favorites even more special.

I love cats. I love them because they are brave little adventures who are also afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Because they steal our hearts with all their mischievous and baffling behaviour. Because they are better alarms than any snooze button or clock will ever be. Fluffy tails. Head bonks. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors and above all this they love you unconditionally...as long as you feed them :)

My love for cats can be seen even in the clothes I wear. That's why when I spotted this cute little blouse on Shein I was so, oh so happy. I don't know, but something about this classy combination never fails to feel right for me. And sure, as time goes by the shapes and colors may change, but the main players remanin the same. There were times when I was obsessed with wearing every bright color imaginable, I often opted for neon-hued pairings, but now that my preferred color pallete is decidely calmer, I gravitate towards darker hues and cute prints.

Like I said, one of my favourite ways to sport a cute cat print is with an entirely black and white outfit. I love to wear it with a deep red lipstick and pair of flattering pants. Isn't this look fitting for the upcoming holidays? If you recreate it, don't forget the cat eye :)
