Simply put, this blog is about passion. My deepest passions happen to lie in fashion, interior design and travel, and this blog is my drawing board.

Spice up that City Chic

Spice up that City Chic

     After a long summer along the European Coast, I’ve finally returned to the city and I’m rocking all my favorite trends! With only a few more days of the warm summer sun, I’m pulling out all of my favorite trends for a city chic look. My go to look is a crisps blouse with some dramatic sleeves, preferably bell sleeves, paired with some comfortable and breathable linen trousers. You can mix and match all sorts of styles, and even play with different silhouettes such as culottes or flared or even classic skinny! There are endless ways to play up this trendy combination.

The look that I’m wearing was shot in London next to a little Spice Shop. The mustard hues of the building complimented my accessories perfectly! I chose a light white top with intricate embroidery and dramatic bell sleeves from Canal & Bowery to add a bohemian touch to my city outfit. My pants by Milly are a made from a light linen blend and featured a high-waist cut along with a matching waist tie to add more movement. I finished the look with a structured leather bag from amazing Spanish designer Lautem. Need some inspiration for your own city chic outfit? Here are some more of my favorite styles below!
