‘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! 😉

INVEST IN A SILK TOP THIS SPRING

As if we needed another reason to go shopping, right? . . But, if we invest in basics, in my opinion it’s always money well spent! Together with denim shorts and white t-shirts, what it won’t miss my summer wardrobe is silk tops.

Lace and daywear doesn’t normally walk hand in hand but if we effortlessly pair it with distressed denim, sneakers and a boy style shirt it’s a piece that we can take from day to night and it’s worth the little investment. It’s a very simple and effective way to add a feminine touch to a boyish ensemble.

YOUR CASUAL LOOK FROM DAY TO NIGHT

I love to shop for items that are perfect for an every day use like this Tommy Hilfiger stripy sweater. You can never go wrong with stripes and if you just add some fancy accessories to spice it up you are are going to give the right personality to your outfit.

It was the perfect casual cool ensemble to stroll around The Hague on last week sunny weekend! Blue stripy sweater, skinny ripped jeans and matching grey Onitsuka tiger created a comfy, yet stylish look.

Off duty looks are always my favourites and since the sun is still not strong in Holland (we still need a jacket most of the days) I paired my new Colmar jacket. It has the perfect biker jacket design but in a lightest material than regular leather. A match made in heaven for transitional weather!

In case you’d like to take this casual look into the evening, it’s possible and easy! The jewellery already allows you to dress up the casual sweater. You just need to add sandals with heels or pointy pumps and knot the jacket around your waist (it’s very cool at the moment) and you are ready for an aperitivo in a cool bar in the city!

BIRTHDAY TRIP TO VENICE

Written by nickyinsideout on April 16, 2016. Posted in Fashion, Travel. No Comments on BIRTHDAY TRIP TO VENICE

When I left London to move to Amsterdam what really made me sad was leaving my friends behind. So, when your best friend decides to get on a plane to come and spend your birthday together I couldn’t think of a more perfect gift and a most special birthday! If I say it was extremely perfect and fun, it’s still not enough to describe it!

We stayed at the Bauers, a luxury hotel just steps away from Piazza S.Marco. Imagine the most beautiful terrace on the water where we spent the longest breakfasts and aperitivo hours.. It was just too good! We made sure our days were slow and enjoyable, just enough time for multiple cappuccinos, a stroll around the canals, a boat trip, a gondola ride, outfit shoots and the most yummy lunches and dinner with way too much vino.

I decided to wear something really comfy but chic and edgy at the same time. Here, meet my new Style Butler fringed jacket! I love the classic style of black suede mixed with the fringes edgy details. I have been looking for the perfect one for a long time!! A basic boyfriend jeans and white tee combo suddenly is not so average anymore. I kept it casual with my latest sneakers addiction I got just the day before leaving and added gold details to give the look a little festival vibe. I loved the long rosary necklaces from Amen layered on the basic white t-shirt and a hand candy thanks to Jewelry by Add.

Nothing feels better than slipping into your feet a pair of brand new white sneakers. After all, within all the seasonal trends experimenting, the combo ‘denim + white t-shirt + blazer + sneakers’ is still the coolest one in my opinion!

When they say there are no distances nowadays, I could not agree more. All the ridiculously cool and adventurous plans we made before I left, are now becoming reality and any occasion, fashion week and birthday is a good enough excuse to jump on a plane and meet up with Lorna. Drinking wine while planning the next trip is becoming our favourite thing to do.. Expect more sunny Italian destinations this summer!!

BRUNCH AT REMISE47

Written by nickyinsideout on March 20, 2016. Posted in Fashion, Travel. No Comments on BRUNCH AT REMISE47

When I was invited by Remise47 to visit their improved spaces I was really excited. Since I’ve been here before, I was very happy to share with you a place I knew already and which I truly enjoyed the design, atmosphere and location. By now you know my addiction to a good cappuccino in a 5 star hotel (location matters! ;)).. A coffee is just a coffee? Not if you see it this way.. Atmosphere created by an ex former tram deposit from the early 1900 and large spaces decorated with pretty plants, Scandinavian designer pieces with an overall industrial look. The restaurant is part of the 2700sq De Hallen complex, it is one of the best hotspot in Amsterdam offering a delicious urban bistro style.

The lunch was indeed delicious!

The decor and the glamorous vibe makes it a spot you can enjoy with a group of friends or your loved one. To me it’s the perfect weekend brunch spot! You surely will have an entirely satisfying experience which would please both your mouth and your eyes. Remise47 is a great number on your Amsterdam hot sposts list places to visit.

Brunch was the perfect occasion to wear my stilettos since I knew walking around was not really involved. Winter is slowly fading but some cold-weather staple, like leather, will never go out of style. As we are looking forward to lighten up our layering game and give our coats a break (hopefully soon!!) I was wearing my Zelle Studio leather vest layered underneath a loose blazer and lift it up to my new gold accessories from Lucky Eyes London to finish up the outfit.
