The black and white theme re-used when styling a finely flared blazer together with pants with more of a flare. Too much? No I don't think so. I like the feel of the two pieces together. Today I downplayed the style by wearing a pair of black and white sneakers, rarely worn at work. I think it adds a little bit of fun to the otherwise deadly searious black and white office wear... But you could easily upgrade with a pair of heels and the impression would have been totally different. Blazer - … [Read more...] about Flared Pants
Chunky Necklace Version October 2015
Sometimes you're truly surprised by your own actions and one such occasion was when I bought this necklace! It was almost an out of body experience when I saw myself trying it on, dealing about the price, paying and walking away, bag in hand! I can't even blame the presence of a female shopping friend... I was on my own. It's eye catching and when someone who normally wears small understated jewelry walks around with a necklace like this, the wow factor is huge! I rarely get as many compliments as I do … [Read more...] about Chunky Necklace Version October 2015
Planning For New Styles
... for last season's corduroy pants and for my old suede skirt. Here you can see the pants as I styled them today, with a long sleeved black and white cotton top also from last winter. I like the pants and the corduroy and think they will be as wearable this season as last year. But I'm thinking of how to make them feel more 2015/16, and the idea of combining them with a big, chunky knit in a contrasting color comes to my mind. Colors could be dark orange, sky blue, brown or some nuance of … [Read more...] about Planning For New Styles

Fall Time, Poncho Time
Chilly mornings and warmer days - the perfect attribute is to wear a warm and cosy poncho to transition from the morning chill to the warm day. I'm lucky enough to have gifted sister who has knitted my poncho. But as far as I can see the trend to knit is stronger then ever, so it might be something to aim for?! Well I've opted out since long but I'm in total awe of those who have the patience and the skills! … [Read more...] about Fall Time, Poncho Time
Good Morning Sveg!
When you least expect good things to happen, there they are, right in front of you! I found one hidden gem this week, Cafe Cineast/Konditoriet in Sveg, Sweden! One of those glamorous working days when I headed out to the airport too early in the morning in order to catch the morning flight, spend a day in an office for meetings and return back late at night. This time I headed for this small, small town in northern Sweden that we always speed through while driving to our mountain house. Sveg for me is a … [Read more...] about Good Morning Sveg!
