Minimum Tara Blazer in Black

THE staple in my wardrobe. The slightly oversize cut makes it the perfect blazer all year round. I feel instantly smart and chic when I put it on and it works with almost everything in my closet.

On self-esteem, fashion and clothes' sizes

Christmas has come and gone and now it's that time of the year again: The sales are on! I was browsing some of the online stores of my favourite brands and considering whether some of the pieces on sale would look good on me when a thought struck me. It isn't the clothes that need to "look good" on me. It's me who needs to look good in the clothes! It's the clothes that need to fit in my life, not the other way around.

Let me rephrase this: If a garment does not make you feel great, it's not your fault! It's the design/colour/fit/sizing that's wrong. Your body was there first, why should you struggle to adapt it to a piece of fabric?

So, if you find the "perfect" dress/skirt/pair of trousers etc. but when you try it on you don't feel like a million dollar, it's the garment that's not perfect! Remind yourself that there's nothing wrong with your body and leave those clothes at the store! The ones who should try harder to create pieces that work for us are the designers and fashion houses, not our bodies.

Back Reflective Knitted Beanie

I'm actually scared I'm posting a winter item right in the middle of summer but it's on sale and it's a very funtional item of clothing to own if you live in Sweden. Winter here is very dark and this reflective beanie from Back is the perfect piece. It both keeps you warm and visible/safe in the dark. 322 SEK at Boozt.com

Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Affair

I don't think I will ever have enough money to afford a Chanel bag and to be honest this Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Affair Bag is as trendy and practical plus a lot more wearable if you are not a fashionista which I'm not. The only bummer is that it's sold out everywhere. $295.00
