One of my daily reads and go-to-blogs for instant outfit inspiration is Columbine Smille‘s blog. Columbine is a Swedish model and stylist and I found her through Freshnet, a Swedish blogger community that involves the likes of Emma Nygren and Carolina Engman. Columbine has that particular, hard-to-find beauty, incredibly long legs (envy!) and a unique way of mix-and-matching designer pieces with high-street buys and vintage finds. Her outfits are always interesting, laid-back and just the right amount of sexy.  I have tried to put together a few “Columbine style staples” for you:-):

Oh and I just added her blog to our blog roll – let me know if you love Columbine’s style as much as I do:-)!

XOXO

It’s Friday! FINALLY. Here’s my fantasy shopping list for the weekend (on which I was supposed to go to the Locarno film festival but had to cancel because of the disastrous weather forecast!).

Nude tones spiced up with a bright red are my favourite right now even though I couldn’t get myself to try on the Isabel Marant-ish leather pants. They are cool but not for me. I would go for the Céline box bag in chilli red instead:-). Since pointy shoes are making a comeback, the Louboutin ‘Pigalles’ will be a safe investment for fall. Oh and I have to look out for this Aurélie Bidermann ring. Right now, she is the most talented jewelry designer around.

Now looking forward to spend some quality time with my dearest sister.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
