7 Layered outfits for the winter season

By Frida | December 20, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment

All of my life I have struggled to keep warm during the winter because I am someone who is cold most of the time. I remember, when I was little, my mom would make me wear tights underneath my jeans and snow pants over them when I went outside. Although that annoyed me back then, I know now that’s the reason I didn’t freeze to death. And so, layered outfits has always been something I’ve needed in my life. But it was when I got older that I realized layered outfits could look good too. . . . read more

DIY Metal Jewelry Using Wire And Brass Strips

By Frida | July 10, 2018 | Comments 1 comment

If there is any DIY I love, it's the kind that looks store-bought and not homemade. I love finding ways to create a piece of jewelry instead of simply buying it in store. Because metal jewelry, in particular, is hard or at least not as common to create on your own, as opposed to something with pearls, it looks more store-bought. Thankfully it's so easy to find the right material online nowadays, there is no limit to what you can do. . . . read more

Paris Fashion: 3 Outfits Inspired By My Paris Trip

By Frida | June 29, 2018 | Comments 1 comment

Whenever I'm going somewhere that requires packing, I always make sure my outfits are cohesive. The last time I used this fun technique was a few weeks ago when I went to Paris. The style, print and colors of the outfits I wore made me so inspired. If I would have needed more outfits, that wouldn't have been a problem at all. Because we only had a few days I didn't need that many. So I decided to make more just because I wanted too, and I figured it would make an interesting post. Today I'm only showing you three outfits, but there is certainly more where that came from. . . . read more

The Fashion Capitals: 3 Days In Paris

By Frida | June 13, 2018 | Comments 1 comment

Bonjour!

I recently came home from my very first trip to Paris and I am exhausted. Although I had some bad luck during this trip because of an upset stomach and dying feet due to a lot of walking (about 15 to 25 thousand steps a day.) I have had an amazing trip and I really want to go back. Because of the shortage of time, there are so many things we didn’t have time for, but I shall return.

For today’s post I am going to share some of the many photos I have taken during this trip. Because it was only a three-day trip, all pictures were taken with my new red iPhone 8 plus. (this first one was taken with my red Nikon 5200)

Paris: Day 1

After arriving in Paris, we made our way to the hotel, freshened up and then began walking towards Lafayette. If there is ever a time you feel extremely poor, it’s when you’re walking around among all the designer bags you ever saw in Vogue. Not a great feeling, but it makes you want to save more money. Someday, I am going to enter Lafayette, pick a designer bag and buy it, and maybe a few more things…

Macarons In The Rain

After walking around with your mouth open for about ten minutes (because that’s about all you can take when you don’t have money..) we made our way to Ladurée which was in the same building. Although the macarons existed in about 12 flavors, we all decided we wanted lemon hence the not so exciting photo. I also decided I wanted a croissant, but because they were out I had to settle for a pain au chocolat which was not a problem at all of course. While we were sitting outside Lafayette enjoying our macarons the rain began pouring down. Although it was a bit struggle not getting wet by staying underneath the parasol, it was really cozy.

Me and my sister were both pretty shaken when a woman passing by dropped the bottle in her hand, causing the wine it contained to be washed away by the rain, leaving the street red and the air filled with the smell of wine.

Evening

After this already eventful day, we made our way back to the hotel and got ready for the evening. We walked past Moulin Rouge which was close to our hotel and all the way up to Montmartre. We made our way to Place du Tertre and had some mussels, oysters and foie gros at La Crémaillére.

1 Pair Of White Sneakers, 5 Different Outfits

By Frida | May 26, 2018 | Comments 1 comment

The Comfortable Shoe

Sneakers; they are classic, they are versatile and they are comfortable. When walking a lot, sneakers are necessary to avoid agonizing pain which is unfortunate for us people who love heels. Whether you think it’s worth the pain is of course completely up to you as long as you’re not complaining about it to other people…

Something I have mentioned before is that I’m going to Paris very soon and my mom and sister insist that I wear sneakers. Although I agree, I am determined not to sacrifice style in order to be comfortable. And so, the search for the perfect white sneakers (for my style and taste) began.

The Search For The Sneaker

Even before my search began, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. Unfortunately, figuring out what I wanted wasn’t nearly as difficult as actually finding them. For a while, I had decided to order a pair of Michael Kors, but because they weren’t exactly what I wanted, I decided it wasn’t worth the money. I had also been looking at the ones I actually bought in the end (they were perfect, except for some minor details, but I wasn’t going to find anything closer) but they were out of stock. Fortunately, they were restocked and I ordered them immediately. Here is a link if you’re interested.

Once the sneakers arrived was relieved to find that they fit me perfectly, that they looked even better in person and that they were super comfy. Because of much I love my new sneakers I decided I needed to make this post. Another reason being that these sneakers are the perfect example of that you actually can be stylish and comfortable at the same time.

Five Outfits One Pair Of White Sneakers

As I created these five outfits the thought “what shoes should I wear with this outfit” probably crossed my mind three times. But all outfits are paired with my new white sneakers from Tata Italia, just to be clear 😀

Blue Moon – Painting Time Lapse Using Acrylics

By Frida | May 19, 2018 | Comments 1 comment

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I was working on a video last week that failed. Apparently, the camera decided to stop filming, because the memory card was full. It happened again during the making of today’s video as well, because the card didn’t have enough memory. The plan is to buy a (possibly two) faster card with more memory.

Problems aside, I am so happy with today’s video and its content. I did consider uploading it to a second Youtube channel, but since this painting is a fashion painting, I decided it was appropriate for my official channel.

I don’t have a video planned for next week, however, you’ll still get a new blog post.

Here is the video, it’s a bit long but hopefully you’ll enjoy it!

Here are some pictures of the painting.
