Cinemagraph by From Me To You

A lot of Fashion Bloggers (some of whom even started their blogs randomly while still being in school) have started own labels, stores and companies over time and grew out to be well known creative forces outside of the blogsphere with features and editorials in magazines, advertising campaigns and a even a clientele involving Lady Gaga!

OUTFIT: Bring out the Band

wearing: H&M jean jacket, TopShop Motörhead tee, silence&noise leggings, Zara heels

It will be the season of jeans (jackets, shirts and especially sleeveless denim shirts) and it just so happens that Band T-shirts combine perfectly with them!

I almost wore this outfit with my Frye engineer boots but last moment I decided to combine the look with pretty strappy shiny heels!

Owww Loving my new Zara shoes! and they go perfectly with my Rebecca Minkoff Love Spell bag! (Thanks to the rose-gold detailing in both)I added the Army Jacket to give myself some urban street cred (if that's even possible haha)



ps. I have 3 pair of the TopShop Jamie jeans in the same size (different colors but the same type) but can someone pleaseeeee explain me why they don't fit the same? These pink ones fit perfectly but the lilac ones (wearing them here) have a different fit?!? What happened TopShop?!

3 Weekend Worthy things To Do


 
1) Organizing your Closet

I'm not talking about a full-scale closet-operation but about placing favorite items for the coming week together on a rotation rack or on a shelf! Shoes, Bags, matching accessories, blouses, jeans etc. Some quality Closet time :)



2) Home Decor

And I'm not talking about a complete re-do here either! I'm talking about changing details; fresh flowers, changing the pictures in your Frames, re-organizing your display, book shelves and even pillows and rugs! No shopping needed (except the flowers)

Inspiration: Top 10 Fashion Blogger Homes

3) Photoshop Actions

Maybe at first sight a bit weird in this list, but photoshop actions are really fun to play around with if you have some free-time on your hands!  

DeviantART has an amazing collection of free photoshop actions, giving you lighting effects, vintage effects and about every other photo editing effect you can imagine! But it takes time browsing around and not all actions will work or give an effect that goes with your photos!

Below is one of only a few actions I liked! Download it (here) and open it in photoshop actions (go to your actions > load actions) When you press the little play button it will automatically run the effect on your photo!
