WHERE I FIND MY OUTFIT INSPIRATIONS

Written by nickyinsideout on October 2, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on WHERE I FIND MY OUTFIT INSPIRATIONS

I never have enough of casual chic looks, that’s who I am. A casual look elevated by feminine pieces and designer accessories is always what defines my personal style and it’s something that has evolved over the years.

Curious to find out when my inspiration is coming from?

Straight leg vintage Levi’s (legit from a vintage store and frayed hem operated by my scissors on my living room table) and new Gucci loafers paired with the latest cut white shirt trend (more here), layered with my beloved black leather jacket.

I do follow trends but I never wear clothes I don’t feel good or comfortable in.. That’s why, for me, there are never enough white shirts, off shoulder tops and layer of necklaces at the moment. The one I am wearing today from Dressfo is the perfect combination!

Good part of my time is spent into researching images from the web, magazines, tumblr, Instagram.. In order to be on top of the fashion game I think daily inspiration is vital. Sometimes I bump into an image that in reality would so not be my vibe, but it links to something else and generated a new inspiration. For a long time I didn’t use Pinterest and I am so happy to be on it again and I if you want to see where my main inspiration is stored you can follow my collection of images here.

SAVE LUGGAGE SPACE AND STILL LOOK STYLISH ON HOLIDAY!

Written by nickyinsideout on June 7, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on SAVE LUGGAGE SPACE AND STILL LOOK STYLISH ON HOLIDAY!

Now that summer is finally here, there is only one thing sticking to our mind:

h-o-l-i-d-a-y-s!!

Together with the travelling countdown comes also the luggage stress, am I right? Overpacking is always a bad idea. Confusing and not practical. That’s why I thought of sharing some of my packing tips with you! I’ve been travelling a lot lately, most of the times in good company of Emma, apart from the fashion weeks, so I did experience a lot of ‘lack of space’ left for me.

I do have less space left for myself now but surely I do not want to compromise on being stylish on my holiday!

I am not going to focus on all the beach essentials this time, but more on the holidays outfit styling.

The first things I am going to put in my luggage will be a pair of denim shorts, denim skirt and ripped jeans. These can all cover the beach, days in the city or countryside and chilled evenings.

Most of all, the essentials my holiday won’t miss are silk tops and white shirts. They are very versatile in the way that can be worn by itself or layered as I styled it here. The lace detail adds a chic touch to any outfit, day and night and the white shirt (especially if a boyfriend fit) can be worn from the beach as a bikini cover, to a loose top or you’ll be surprised how one well-placed knot can completely transform your look!

Finally, accessories will play a big part in elevating your look and they don’t take a lot of space in your luggage. You can wear very simple clothes, then add some gold jewellery for a boho touch and of course sunglasses. Think of a good bag in a colour that is easy to match to different looks, like this one by Fran Amsterdam. It will play a better role than a black bag which could be a bit harsh on a summer outfit.

Think less is more and think pieces you can wear at least in two different looks mixing and matching. If your key word is ‘versatile’ you won’t be panicking and overpacking this time!!

Have a great holiday and follow my Instagram here for more daily looks and inspirations!

THE SPRING TREND YOU CAN’T SAY NO TO.. THE WHITE SHIRT

Written by nickyinsideout on April 28, 2016. Posted in Fashion. No Comments on THE SPRING TREND YOU CAN’T SAY NO TO.. THE WHITE SHIRT

Now that the weather is – supposed to be – warming up – and we really enjoyed summer temperatures back in Venice two weeks ago – it’s finally time to start talking summer fashion!

If you are seeking for inspiration, have already been stalking instagram streetsyle stars, devouring vogue and any sort of fashion magazines, pinteresting spring/summer trends, I am sure you have been told to buy at least one white shirt!

Fashion trends speaking, Spring/Summer ’16 is definitely going to make our life easy because who doesn’t own a white shirt?? The good news is that the most coveted item for this coming summer, is most probably already sitting in your closet! I mean.. How cool is that?? You can be trendy while saving money!

Now, if you don’t feel like investing in a new piece, fair enough!

You can still be owning a latest trend piece with what you already own or even borrow from the boyfriend.. hopefully your boyfriend is a good big size so you can sport the oversized look! Otherwise, if you feel like a shopping afternoon of fun or some indoor shopping moments at your laptop, you can upgrade your shirt game. In this case, and it’s my favourite part, the shopping part, what you should bare in mind and make sure to strike a goal are white shirt dresses, cold shoulder shirts, big bell sleeves or oversized shapes.

My passion is to show you how we can wear each season top trends in a realistic way. But let’s be honest, sometimes designers make it pretty hard for us non-models walking the city streets instead of the catwalks.. We are mere mortals after all, aren’t we?? So I am super excited this spring since one of the main trends was already one of my favourite and wardrobe staples! What’s best to wear in spring/summer than a white shirt?? This closet classic is shaping up in so many possible choices, one of my favourites being this Lemon-B shirt dress I layered underneath a leather jacket during my latest trip to Venice.

A big yes to this ultra-accessible trend!!

MFW DAY 3 IN WHITE SNEAKERS

Written by nickyinsideout on March 18, 2016. Posted in Fashion, Travel. 1 Comment on MFW DAY 3 IN WHITE SNEAKERS

We shot these images during the last day in Milano over fashion week. While every italian girl was running around on their fancy stilettos, I decided to end my milanese weekend welcoming my new Acne Studios sneakers.. A staple my shoes collection was in need of! Classic and effortless, yet edgy.. the detail can elevate a very simple outfit such denim and a white shirt.

If you have been following me on Instagram lately, you surely noticed how much love I am spreading for white shirts with big sleeves. This Rika Studios is more elegant with the neck detail and I loved to dress it down in a sporty chic way.

Each season fashion week is approaching it comes along with a bit of ‘outfit stress’. After this year in London and Milan my approach has changed. What I learnt is that, like everyday of your our life, we should only wear what makes us feel good and confident.

Feeling good is the best way to shine through your outfit and if its a casual look, trendy, sophisticated or ‘dress to impress’ kind of look you have in mind.. the most important is that you only do it to make yourself feel good first!
