What I love about a simple white shirt is that it’s probably the most versatile piece of item in my closet. You can never have too many classic white buttoned-down shirts. It’s the ultimate clothing item you will wear over and over again which can be styled up or down. Having a white buttoned-down classic white shirt enables you to…
This pandemic has changed the way I dress and even how and what I shop online. Most of my time is spent in loungewear – although I do put a little more effort into dressing from time to time. It’s still not the same as dressing up to go out. Although I’m looking forward to the time when things get…
If you have been following my blog for a while, I’m sure you have noticed that I tend to wear more classic/elegant pieces. I usually get a lot of wear out of most items which I purchase. Some of them are rather pricey so I like to look out for what is in the sales. During the lockdown, I feel…
Dressing elegantly doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to spend a lot to get the look. Important is to buy clothes that fit you well and flatter your body shape. Quite often I have to take my clothes – especially trousers, to a tailor to get a proper fit. When my clothes fit well, I feel more confident. A well-tailored…
In today’s post, I’m sharing Christmas stocking filler gifts ideas. It doesn’t matter about the size or the cost – just about the thought. Something that’s very important is to give things that make sense – and you know that the recipient would appreciate and can be used. Think about the one who is receiving the gift and the joy…
If you buy one coat this season, I suggest you do so in the colour camel. It’s timelessly chic and is a neutral tone, therefore, it goes with all other colours – and not only is it one of our favourite colours of the moment it’s also a classic which you should have in your wardrobe enabling you to create…
Once again we are in the season where boots are a must. I can’t imagine going through autumn/winter without any kind of boots. Have any of you notice that chelsea boots are very much in trend? Although I do have this style of boots, I feel as if I should add another pair to my collection – maybe a pair…
Knitwear is one of the most versatile staples you can have in your wardrobe – especially the beginning of autumn when temperatures can fall or rise within a day or even hours. These photos were taken on one of those days that started out chilly and then the sun decided to show it’s face. I’m not complaining, mind you! Lightweight…
We are now entering into autumn, but temperatures don’t drop suddenly. I have the perfect two-piece suit for a smooth transition from summer to autumn. The material is not too heavy but gives just enough warmth. And, of course, each piece can be worn separately, so I can create different outfits. I managed to get hold of this suit from…
My skin is normal, a tendency towards dry. Dry, especially during the colder months. I’m blessed in a way that I don’t have too many problems with my skin, such as acne – and I seldom get break-outs. However, when I do get pimples, although they disappear rather quickly, I’m left with unsightly dark marks. During COVID-19 lockdown, I started…
Supporting Local Businesses Today my post is about supporting local small businesses. We all want a bargain and search the internet from the comfort of our homes. It’s not always true that you can find cheaper versions online, and even if it is the case – I think it is equally important to support our local businesses. Although I do…

And those beautiful items you saw but didn’t want to – or couldn’t pay the price – well the best time to shop them would be when the sales are on. Build your wardrobe with items you will wear over and over again such as…

Balloon sleeves were a big trend in 2018/2019 and continue to be so even now in 2020. The voluminous short or long sleeves resemble the form of a balloon. From subtle to dramatic – these sleeves scream out strength and femininity at the same time. A simple blouse or tee with balloon sleeves elevate a look instantly – whether worn…
Today I’m sharing my take on summer staples. Not everyone will agree as we all have different lifestyles but the items I have chosen will make dressing much easier during the warmer months. Some pieces can even be worn throughout summer right into autumn. I’m a big fan of summer dresses especially loose-fitting and breathable ones. These styles are very…
A different kind of post! We can’t ignore what’s going on after witnessing the killing of George Floyd, a black man, in broad daylight by a police officer in the US. This has led to protests #blacklivesmatter in response to police violence against the black community insisting on change. How can you help Besides educating yourself about racial injustice…

With many more flattering designs, such as boxy-boyfriend, fitted, slouchy to classic silhouettes – there is a style for everyone and colour which compliment the skin tone. We now have an array of bright colours and pastel shades suits that can elevate your closet…
I’ve been longing for the lockdown to be over and done with. And now that the time is slowly approaching on the 11th of May, here in Zurich, Switzerland…I’m somewhat apprehensive. I have to be positive and follow the guidelines of the experts. Wash my hands regularly and thoroughly – no less than 20 seconds, keep 2 meters distance from…
Obviously, jumpsuits aren’t going to the back of the closet anytime soon. Although they aren’t the most convenient clothing items when heading to the bathroom, I find myself adding more of them in my closet. What I love most is the freedom of movement when wearing a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are worn by many of us for many different occasions. This…
During my visit to Singapore, I went shopping with no idea what I wanted to buy if anything at all. It’s not easy to resist when you see so many beautiful things…common sense goes right out the door. You cannot go to Singapore and not shop! Right? Haha! I did end up buying things that I really love though –…
For those of you who love comfort dressing and want to look chic at the same time, then you definitely should get a pair of joggers. Most likely, you have got a pair or two already as they have been around for a while now. I like the slimmer versions as they are much easier to style and I can…
