Test

Before the weather gets too sunny and warm, I shall better share my two sided poncho outfit with you, which was actually shot a few weeks ago. I've only found some time to write about this OOTD (outfit of the day) now, as time these days has become a rarity. However, as spring slowly but surely arrives, it's safe to say that a poncho can be worn in this transitional period just as well as we would do so in autumn. This two sided poncho had been on my watchlist for a while, but it retailed originally at £75, which - to be honest - I would never pay for a poncho. Luckily, ASOS announced a sale just around Christmas and at less than half price, it took me two clicks and a few days later to call it my own. Made of 66% wool and the rest the usual viscose and polyamide, the poncho is slightly heavy but has a lovely texture and definitely keeps you warm. It has two different patterns: the outter side is more dark and less colourful, whereas the inner side has warm red and mustard yell...

How is everyone?  My first Stradivarius head to toe fashion post  is a while back, but I've been in their Stratford store again and hauled it. You can literally go in there and come out with an entire new outfit, without the hourly long search for matching items. Don't you think today's ootd has a little bit of a French touch? Hope you'll enjoy today's post. Have fun! Stradivarius is the boho casual little sister brand of Zara with super romantic styles and laid back outfits. I only wanted to buy a new pair of jeans but they are at the beginning of the shop and the fitting rooms are at the end. So on the way there, I picked up the shirt and the blazer (I didn't need a blazer, but I checked the prize tag and I couldn't resist). That's why I love Stradivarius so much. You pick up stuff that's nice and actually looks nice on you and they are affordable and just wow you completely over. The last time I had this 'hauling' fever was back in 2009/2...

It's getting warmer each day and every evening it stays a few minutes lighter which is a clear sign spring is around the corner. I'm happy that I can slowly but surely send my winter coat into hibernation and prepare to get my leather jackets and dresses out. Time for me to experiment with a few styles to get a romantic spring outfit sorted. Yeah :) Spring is about the awakening of nature meaning plants come out, people enjoy the sun and regain their energies. It feels like life returns to its strengths but is still very fragile and delicate. In order to make a look that works just like spring, powerful but delicate, I've decided to mix a few styles with different colours to create a romantic look. Read here, why my outfit despite the wild mixture works. I'm wearing a leather jacket (strong, powerful) over a white lace/chiffon Primark dress (delicate, innocent) to present spring. I got this brown leather jacket from Stradivarius before winter and didn't have had the...

Recently it has happened on numerous occasions, that people around me called me 'a student' or even worse, they started to speak in child talk to me. I know I have a cute round face and look young, but I'm still in my late 20's and expect a certain level of (adult) respect. Is that too much to ask for? You may find it flattering to be regarded as young but I don't know what it is or if I'm too sensitive, but I'm really annoyed when people misjudge me due to my looks and think they can belittle me. That's why I've been a bit more aware of my styling and dressing lately. At first, I wanted to call this post 'Dress Your Age Appropriately' but then I thought, nah that sounds too much like a rant. Instead, I'd like to show you how I've mixed High Street and Designer brands to create a classy and sophisticated style and hopefully achieved to look mature. I like classy styles that look fashionable but without screaming it into your face. I l...

Two years ago I bought a lovely autumn/winter skirt from Miss Selfridge. The problem I always had was how to wear and style it. When I went to London earlier this month, I found a cosy wooly loop scarf in Topshop which has a similar pattern as my skirt. I combined them and I think they go really well together. What do you think? I’m wearing: Loop Scarf: Topshop (current winter season 2014, £18) Cognac Leather Boots: Clarks (winter season 2008/2009 £100) Aztec Skirt: Miss Selfridge (season 2012, £25) Cognac Blanket Wrap with Belt: Stradivarius (current season 2014, £15.99) Black Body: Miss Selfridge (season 2012, £18) Bracelets: Schmuckrausch (current season 3.50 € each*) Till next time and let me know what you think about the outfit :) xx CAZ xx | bloglovin  |  Twitter | *PR sample

How are you? The season has some fantastic accessories and I thought I should reveal some of the spot on trends plus where you can shop them at reasonable prices. Hope you'll enjoy and let me know which one is your favourite accessory. |1. The Blanket Wrap| Since Burberry send its models over the catwalk with a personalised blanket wrap at their latest fashion show, this accessory has become a huge trend this autumn. Blanket capes, ponchos or wraps are easy to style and a casual accessory to throw over your shoulders to keep you warm for the colder days. They are everywhere to find on the High Street: from Topshop via River Island to Urban Outfitters, they all have them in their current range. However, the leader with the most extensive range of ponchos is New Look. They have over 10 different styles with various patterns and colours and the quality is great for £19.99. Also, Stradivarius has a lovely one which is more an oversized cape than a blanket. Their capes come in caramel, ...
