grandma's blazer


I'll just start this post by singing: "I wear ya grandma's cooooat, I look incredibleeeee..." In this case, I was wearing MY grandma's blazer, which she purchased at least 25 years ago. The great thing about vintage clothing? They are unique because no one else owns it; they have this outdated look that is different than vintage-inspired clothing you can find in stores; they usually have nice quality because fashion at that time was not cheap like it is today. A time where fast fashion has not yet been inventend, imagine that!

Anyway this plaid wool blazer with its nostalgic oxblood color was very fun to wear and is suprisingly wearable in a contemporary sense. Thank you grandma for being fashion-forward and I hope I can raid more oldie-but-goldie items from your dusted suitcases in our cellar...

pure transparency


(All images above: H&M)

There is something sensual about sheer clothing in womanswear. A see-through yet not completely unveiling blouse is, for instance, way sexier, if I might say so, than a bare cleavage. You probably have noticed it already, black chiffon skirts and transparent silk shirts were too popular last spring summer season.

But did you know that light-colored sheerness is coming up? Transparency's everywhere now, on sunglasses (see the sporty one above with multi-color-reflecting touch), shoe's heels, bags (clutches preferably) and of course, also on clothings.

Pair these airy  pieces with bold, masculine bottoms or jackets to compensate the fragile nature of sheerness. Those bleached and destroyed pants from H&M can add craziness to any outfit that might be a bit too "soft". At the end of the day, we are rulers of our own personal style, so go ahead and wear sheer fashion the way you like it best.

It's finally spring in Vienna. I stumbled upon these photos shot earlier this year and let me tell you, the snow was miserable. Maybe that's the reason why I look quite serious on them. JJ, my personal photographer made a remark that all the photos I've posted so far have a lonely vibe on them. I guess it's because the cold color palette that I am very obsessed with lately.

I had my birthday last weekend and photos on the birthday cake will be up soon. Cheers to me and a wiser new me!
