Logical

Wearing: Acne Studios blazer (last worn here), Orvis turtleneck, Mother jeans, Seavees slip ons c/o, Saint Laurent bag,  Larson & Jennings watch

Bordeaux and caramel (scandi) candy hues are the perfect companion to my top of the totem pole jeans. As camel/caramel does happen to be the "it" color of the season, isn't that inherently stating that "black is the new black"? Never the less, at least these colors help avoid the black cat territory I enter, come the dead of winter. 

Perhaps one of the best steals of my life was this Acne Studios blazer, yes indeed it is one size too big, but size smhize. To put it in simpler logic, the bigger size; the closer it is to a blanket. Just be careful not to veer into the slightly frightening 80s lane of shoulder pads.

Sweatshirt Gold

Wearing: Acne Studios sweatshirt, Stuart Weitzman boots, J.Crew skirt, Saint Laurent bag

After much convincing to myself that this sweatshirt was worth every little penny, I took the bait on Otte. Buyers remorse? Nope. It most definitely beats my oversized hoodies, to say the least. Perhaps one of the most known pieces of the Euro powerhouse, I finally jumped on the street style gold sweatshirt bandwagon. Never the less, God bless Acne and it's ability to win my heart with it's Scandi coolness and all that jazz. The best part of it all... weekend dressing just became a walk in the park. 

On another note, today is my BIRTHDAY! I celebrated most of the weekend, so today will be a pretty low key day.

The Style List | N. 3

Acne Studios sweatshirt, Rag & Bone leather pants, JW Alexander coat, Zespa sneakers, Aerin lipgloss, Maria Black earrings

Well, I'll be damned. You caught me blushing!

This time around, I don't mind if I do... with leather clad legs and rose-gold wings, no less.

A skip and hop through the rainbow and we've struck a good pot of blush (rose) gold.

Dare to Bear

ph. Vogue Russia

M'kay.. yesterday hit 90 degrees and although it is still summer, a new season is coming around the corner and I cannot deny my slight excitement (said everyone on the interwebz this week). As much as I love wearing shorts and all those late summer nights, my Indian Summer dreams were left back in July.

Crisp air is ahead, and my bear ways are preparing to move in (to my closet). As a nod to Acne and all its glory, matching knit separates give teddy bear a whole new meaning. A fresh spin to the 70s as well with a flare cut and tunics, your normal fur is getting the boot. The Philo-effect is stronger than ever.

That's right ladies, time to bear your best.

Scandi Does Prep

Wearing: Acne blazer, Zara turtleneck, Madewell skirt (similar), Stuart Weitzman boots, Vintage Chanel (borrowed)

I always draw a lot of my inspiration from the Stockholm fashion scene. It is always the right mix of European cool and classic style. Each season, Stockholm-based Acne delivers updated basics. While waiting in the St.Barths airport way back when, I checked out the Acne collection on The Outnet. A few clicks later, this perfect oversized blazer was on its way to me (did I mention it is 65% off?!) My favorite Scandinavians did prep perfectly- they never seem to fail.
