So I left for New York. Very briefly there but all the more excited about my very fabulous agenda!
My love affair with New York seems to constantly be in this “newly fallen in love”, “butterflies in my stomach because the boy is so handsome and intelligent and exciting”-stage all the time. I love the atmosphere and the energy of that city so much! ♥
Työmatka New Yorkiin kutsuu ja se onkin juuri se kaupunki johon haluan tänään matkustaa!

Wardrobe wonderings
by Sofia - in Shopping
Last spring when I pulled some outfits together for children you asked me to do the same for adults alike. So now I finally have. I made it a tad easier for myself by getting all the photos and so all the pieces of clothing from one company online. They do deliver around the world, have reasonable prizes, great quality and styles I like. The thing here is, that no one probably buys all the key items again every year so when you have a great winter coat or a good trench coat ( I have had the same Burberry trench for 12 years now) you don´t need to invest in it again for some time. So these are just some ideas for great key pieces that you can mix and match to build outfits for the office and even some downtime.
I think investing in some quality shoes and a good handbag makes all the difference in an outfit. They do not have to be any specific brand but I would say you may want to choose leather instead of plastic ( do they call it pleather?). I would also keep in mind that natural fabrics tend to feel better on you, breath and keep you warm at the same time.
A good trench coat is a great investment. A midseason coat does not get more classic than that. I think a trench looks just as good on a dress or a skirt as it does on slim jeans or straight pants. You can wear it with wellingtons for a rainy day or with either ballerinas, loafers, heels or sneakers for a day off. It´s great with a shirt and with a pullover. So basically it goes with pretty much everything in your closet except your sweatpants.
A grey cashmere twinset with a pencil skirt and pretty blush ballerinas would be a great and simple office outfit. You could also wear it for tea with friends or for lunch with your grandmother. It´s a true classic and you can always opt for something else than pearls for a younger look. Although I love pearls!
