‘SUMMER LOOKS’ WHEN YOU LIVE IN NORTHERN EUROPE

Written by nickyinsideout on June 13, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on ‘SUMMER LOOKS’ WHEN YOU LIVE IN NORTHERN EUROPE

Let’s face it. Summer in Amsterdam doesn’t really offer tropical temperatures. Luckily we can play around with layers to help keeping alive our summer wardrobe (we’ve been killing to start wearing) by covering up here and there.

Shoes, in this case sandals, play a big part into making your outfit season appropriate, even if the temperatures are closer to the single digit. As soon as the sun comes out and the day seems to be dry our feet deserves some air and our pedicure some showing off.

To re-create this style you just need to mix and match your summer and fall wardrobe. Open shoes with a long cardigan or what also work is bare legs with ankle boots.

I really love this cardigan bold star print. It’s a casual cut and fit but the print really stands out and makes a simple outfit of skinny jeans and white t-shirt much more interesting. You know how much I love pairing my casual wardrobe with statement pieces and this cardigan and sandals really are the core for a summer in the city. They creates the perfect casual chic balance

Luckily the days in the city are not much left. We are all getting ready for our summer travelling but in the meantime we can still enjoy some city trendy looks without being too casual, neither too dress up.. or like, for us living in northern Europe.. never too warm! 😉

KITTEN HEELS WITHOUT LOOKING TOO GIRLY? IT’S POSSIBLE!

Written by nickyinsideout on May 5, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on KITTEN HEELS WITHOUT LOOKING TOO GIRLY? IT’S POSSIBLE!

If I have to name a trend I wanted to try for a while now, is kitten heels.

The matter was just about finding the right ones for me.. Not too classic, not too girly and not too feminine! (So, would you say, ‘just go for a different style’!? No, I didnt give up!)

It was quite the challenge and it went on for several months until I bumped into these Sargossa beauties!

The key is the ankle boot shape and the statement detail as a spider web that made me feel cool rather than girlie! I paired them with my distressed boyfriend jeans which I am feeling is becoming my forever essential summer and winter. I kept a soft colour palette of denim and white since I wanted to highlight the detail of the shoes, but also add a feminine touch with the flare sleeve, mainly to break the hardness of the distressed denim.

Comfortable footwear is not strange on this blog and my life.. a collection of white sneakers, flats and even birkestock sandals over the summer.. So when I find a pair that is cool, trendy and comfy at the same time, it simply have to be mine! To let you taste the feeling, is like having the support of a high heel but with the comfort of a flat.. Doesn’t it sound like the best combo??

HOW I STYLE MY CASUAL LOOKS

Written by nickyinsideout on April 24, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on HOW I STYLE MY CASUAL LOOKS

There is something about putting on a pair of distressed denim and a t-shirt that just feels so right! But the thing is, you don’t want to feel underdressed.

There is never too much fuss about my outfits, mainly because I think simplicity is always the main key to a good look. Add in your latest sneakers addiction, denim trend and favourite jacket and you are in for a perfect casual look.

My way of styling a casual outfit is to always add chic details. This time being my Chanel jumbo and new Lucky Eyes jewellery.

Basically, I always ask myself ‘what makes this look special?’ And to me, the special bit is added by one or two max statement pieces.. an edgy pair of shoes, a pretty bag, or some special jewellery. This is where all the attention will go!

The good thing is that, with the right details, you will never feel underdressed for a pretty restaurant or a daily event/meeting even wearing sneakers.. it’s very modern and cool!
