It looks a lot like a Celine, or a little bit like the Carven one, but this coat is indeed a good high-street find. Here to fulfill my easy Sunday get-up duties that I promised a while back. Pajama shirts for the win when... or actually, for whatever your doing.

I’m thinking about changing my blog name to Coats and stuff. Just kidding, obviously, but that’s what dominates the blog right now, sorry. But let’s celebrate before the quilt takes over again. According to Self Service's spot on London editorial, the coat is all you need. So let's go easy on the styling.
#Shoeoftheday
KURT GEIGER 'Candy' & CÉLINE also the higer version
OSCAR DE LA RENTA 'Barry' also in pink & TIBI 'Piper' or in navy
KURT GEIGER 'Baker' also here and in black & RIVER ISLAND also in beige
Coming from someone that thinks Instagram hashtags are plain awkward, I’ve started my very own! Well I can’t claim I invented #shoeoftheday by any means, but I do have whole family of beautiful heels just lined up, eagerly waiting for their turn. So I though the least I could do is start archiving my daily feet on Instagram. See you there, where I’ll find more vital daily documenting.
You'll find me at @5inchandup, naturally.
Cherry picking
On the top of the sea of -65% Stella McCartney that I’ve gotten a little bit too familiar with lately (stay tuned), THE OUTNET.COM also carries their very own Iris & Ink brand. Going strong in it’s third season, the collection aims to cater for our basic needs, balancing out all those great designer finds. For fall, Iris & Ink takes on some of the most sought-after trends with shiny vinyl, shearling, and a variety of leather which you can tell clearly made the cut for me.
So earlier this week I dressed up my favorite picks from the new Iris & Ink collection, of course nicely balanced with some of the best accessories on THE OUTNET right now. Finding great quality classics that come without the branded price tag is somewhat of a rare find nowadays. So unless you already have a leather top (or five) in your wardrobe, I suggest you move to checkout, right about now.

Easy to say that I’m a sucker for the good old classics. Not taking about the beige pumps, trench coats or pencil skirts, so what am I talking about? ‘Simple’ is seen in the blogosphere every day, so where do you draw the line between boring and effortless? Not trying to throw witty wisdoms at you, I am actually asking an honest question; What are the wardrobe classics that never fail, or is it up to the wearer to reinvent a look? Partially I am trying to justify the beauty of a white button-down, the classic that appeared in probably over a hundred of my posts, but still always feels so fresh to see it in action. That is, of course, if I’m wearing the right one.
I am not saying Charlie May’s version is the only correct white one, but it’s noting like you’ve really seen before, right? So when a designer puts a white shirt in front of me that has me feeling both excited and at ease at the same time, she’ll be on the top of my recommendation list.

Winter sandals
PRADA lug sole shoes
Well, I had to bring something home from Paris! So I’m back to my old habits and found exactly the runway pair that I had my eye on. I was torn between these and the Stella version, but when it comes to shoes I am biased towards the pink boxes are staring to dominate my decor. Miuccia, she never disappoints.
Black favorites at Elie Saab
A week ago I was in Paris, you know that brief trip that went by a little too fast... Anyway it was, as I’m sure you all know, the last stretch of fashion week. So after a macaroon lunch at Ladurée with the ever so lovely Stylight crew, we skipped through Champs-Élysées to see the Elie Saab show. Although there were colours in form of pale pink, green and a variety of florals, I was especially mesmerized by the black lace. Timeless and understatedly on point, versions of black designs are always the most appealing to me. I thrive for the reinvention of the ever trusted deep V, the modernization of a jumpsuit and fresh take on dramatic lace. Needless to say that on this Monday afternoon, I experienced all the above.
