A DAY OF MY LIFE - YELLOW WITH CREAM TONES

On that day, I taught my usual yoga lesson; My eyes are bit tired; dark shadows visible and so are late nights. Ok, Ermine, get yourself together. The blog needs update. Let’s do it.

The yellow coat adds an extra shine to the otherwise awfully grey morning. I wore two cream cardigan to give my body extra heat and I am still wearing the t-shirt that I wore from my yoga lesson. Sweaty!

The printed cotton pants is a winter purchase but I will definitely rock it throughout the summer.

I am wearing some malas too. After all, I have just taught a yoga lesson reciting all the ohm mantras. To be fair, malas on my wrist is an everyday style for me anyways. You know me, the wrists just can’t be empty. The merrier, the better.

Finally, a gold touch on my feet to keep me shining throughout the day. I was wearing

FLOWERS AND ROMANCE - SORBET COLOURS IN THE WOODS

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love while

            romance is the glamour which turns into dust  of everyday life into golden haze. 

This shoot was done on Valentine’s Day but it was purely coincidence. I wanted to draw the line between flowers and romance, like drawing the line between love and hate, but I guess these two are completely different. That aside, flowers are given as romantic gestures, if you were to be given red roses to a loved one, it is projected as loving this person or just saying “I love You”. When you buy flowers for yourself I guess it just means you love having flowers in your home… I certainly do. I am obsessed with it’s beauty.

I would not say I was romantic, but I like the atmospheric of going out to dinner at a restaurant, when the lights are low and soft with beautifully played music in the background.

What is romance? Romance is showing that you care, but do you need a special occasion to show or do something romantic? There are intrinsic romance e.g. things that are inherently romantic like hearts. Red is romantic, it’s been associated with love and passion. Chocolates are not only romantic, they are complementary.

Back to flowers and romance. Flowers are gorgeous and if you look deeply into them, they are amazing and mesmerizing.  I love freshly cut flowers and I can just photograph them all the time, it is like looking into their soul. Flowers and Romance, they do go hand in hand as both intriguing and endangered: roses enfold and blossom, then dissipate. Romance unfolds blossom but you need to work to keep it alive.

I wore soft gentle tones for this shoot. Red on the Valentines, to me, is too cliche, but it’s very personal. I can’t wait to hear your Valentine stories and share ideas on outfits and romantic attires!

I did not get dress like this to go unnoticed! 

Liberace

Today I was embodying Liberace, minus his excessive accessories. It was the day to wear my sexy high top boots…a Christmas present. The cream coat is a purchase from Zara. I had both eyes on this coat for a while, but I did not want to have to pay full price for it. I wanted to have the coat since cream is one of my favorite colors for winter, but the climate here in Holland certainly does not permit this. 

The hat is a Phillip Treacy, which have been part of my closet for quiet sometime.

The very faux fur is also Zara, I paid full price for it, a little too much actually but I could not bear if it had sold out although I would have survived but yet again that colour stole a piece of my heart, and because it oozes 1920’s vintage glamour. 

The shirt is from Gap also a resident of my wardrobe. The forest green short sleeves pullover (which is not very visible to the eyes), is from the H & M. I like it because of its embellishment… I like shiny things once a magpie always a magpie. 

The stretchy leathery legging fits like two gloves on both hands.

No make-up today since I was just returning home from my yoga practice. We were on the way home and made a quick stop to take the photos, the guy with the camera was grumpy, there was not much light energy from him neither from the that day but with my cream coat on and my top hat I felt the cat that got the cream. 

The location was also matching pretty much perfectly with my look.

CLASSY & ELEGANT - BEIGE COAT BLUE SKIRT

Fashion is a potency in art in making it hard to judge between temporary and the lasting.

Fashion can be bought…..Style is what you do with it…

What can I say soft hues in winter, to lighten up the dark season?  I bought the skirt in The Hague at H&M. It certainly did not break my wallet. Inspiration to dress this outfit came from the skirt. Therefore, I reshop my wardrobe and found this gorgeous fitted jumper. Since it is all about soft hues colors, I wanted it keep all the colors in the same tones of softness.  The Jumper is of a light beige color. These two colors make the base of this outfit. The beige of the top part of the two-tone fedora hat comes back into the jacket and comes back into the jumper. 

The fedora hat was a gift from a friend, and the blue grey of the hat picks up the colors from the skirt and the colors of the  grey platform boots. 

Since I love wearing rings, I added rings on all my fingers but that's is really my style. I added the necklace to give the outfit an extra oomph. Without the necklace, the jumper would have look a little bit plain.  In addition, I finished it off the look adding the Chanel bag to bring out the gold color of the necklace and the gold tint of the rings. To give it even a more chic elegant look. 

This outfit can be worn for a lunch event, shopping or even a fashion show, I guess I always dress to my comfort so if  I feel sassy and elegant then I am so fine.  I can certainly wear the skirt in the spring or summer and I am able to combine it in so many different ways . Ok let's see when and how I style it next time I decide to wear it.

Thanks for dropping by...

Change some accessoires and the outfit can be for a different occasions.
