LA REINE BOHÉME

 I currently have a HUGE style crush on spanish blogger Madame de Rosa, "the queen of bohemian". She has a supreme sense of bohemian style, with a touch of sexyness and playful attitude. (looove the neon heels!)

TRASHED JEANS

Ugh, fell asleep on the couch last night, and my back really hurts today. Could probably use a little more sleep too, so maybe I'll just take a nap on the back-hating sofa after I got this post about trashed jeans up.
I love wearing trashed jeans, all my favorite pairs are or were worn with holes in'em. Jeans in general are of course extremely versitile and you can mix it up with pretty much any style. When they are worn and trashed though, they get som edge, a slight taste of rock'n'roll that gives any outfit you choose to put together a bit of attitude. Just like with regular jeans you can mix it with sheer blouses and frills, with studded leather or fringes, a prepy shirt or a casual tee, heels or a pair of old converse or some biker boots. All is fair in Love and Jeans. When they are trashed though, well, see for yourself!

MUSE

You know how you sometimes stumble upon a person who possesses some mad skill that just blows you away, makes you starryeyed and in awe of their amazingness? Ya, that happened to me today. I was just minding my own business, on the prowl for inspiration to add to my ever growing fashionfolder.
This woman's a bloody genious, I can't believe how perfect her sense of style is!  I'm still looking through her vast album of superb looks over at chicisimo but I had to stop and just pray at her altar a bit, albeit from my blog. Cara, my dear, your lovliness is only surpassed by your freakishly gorgeous fashion sense! Oh, and the hair.
 I suppose I should hate you for beeing so beautiful, but it's not in my nature to hate the divine, so have some love instead. ♥

TULLE - HOW TO WEAR IT

Whenever I see anything tulle, I go all starry eyed and transform into an urban princess who'd love nothign better than to wear frothy dresses and sprakly tiaras all day, every day. Seeing as such a style would not only be inconvienient (I see myself trying to get on the buss, pressing a mountain of layered, whispering fabric through the glassdoors), but also a bit too girly in the end, there are certainly ways to do the tulle skirt in chic ways.I don't mean those ridiculous miniskirts the tweens wear, I mean real tulleskirts!

Mias Guide to Looking Chic in Tulle

We'll start out with my favorite look! I LOVE this Sartorialist streetstyle shot! A tone on tone sweater, a pair of timeless shades and a bohemian braided up-do - who know that this paired with a tulleskirt could look so ladylike cool and sophisticated?!

URBAN

Dressing the tulle skirt down is quite easy, but making it a bit more edgy is slightly challenging. The key is to pair it a bitdisrespectfully with garments that are the dreamy tulleskirts opposite, and to our aid though, we bring out the denimshirt and to loose fit t-shirt! Tuck it in at the waist or leave out but nip with a belt, and you're immediatly a bit more urban and modern. Pulling the skirt down to hip level and knotting the t-shirt on one side, will also be a neat trick. Match with heels and pearls to stay feminine, or bring out the bikerjacket and some leather boots for more rock and roll.

 AT THE OFFICE

 Taking the meringue dreamskirt to the office? The dress shirt is your friend! Tuck in at the wait and snip it with a clean looking belt, or pull a cahsmere knit over the shirt and don a statement necklace for a chic yet properly prim attire. And don't forget the blazer, she loves hanging out with your shirts! Do take care to pick a delicate one though, a heavy blazer might make you too stocky, so mind to keep it nipped at the waist.

CASUAL

Love your skirt so much you want to wear it getting a coffe with your girlfriends or going shopping downtown? Go cute and relaxed and mix it up with an oversized sweater in a bold color or a tone on tone nuance, matched with a pair of flats, loose hairdo and a big tote for a sweet and casual look.

 

 

DAYTIME PARTY

Going to a daytime party gives you every chance to take old fluffy out of the closet. A cute sweater of good quality and apair of colored heels will add up to one gorgeous look when matched with the right accessories. If you feel a bit more rock than posh, put on a sweet tank and ring out the that worn leather jacket to give it some edge!

WINTER

 Winter means less tulle time, right? Wrong! Go for a darker color though, and match it up with a blouse and brightly hued tights - it will liven up the dark and dreary hours of winter in no time!

BLAZER & HEELS

Low on inspiration, or need to look chic in a jiff? A blazer and a pair of heels is about the swiftest way I know to look dashing with little to no effort at all. Match it with bold patterns, striking och demure colors, some sporty spice or boyfriend jeans, eveything works with heels and a blazer, a must in every womans closet.

Any hairdo will suffice as well, a windblown mane, a strict ponytail, a loose briad or an edgy bun.

MILITARY

I'll be looking chic in a pair of camo print pants this spring. The cargo look hasn't really appealed to me before, but as I'm trying to accept the fact that I have to greatly limit my wardrobechoices to items from my employer (and considering I've been in their service for six years now, it's about time), I've had to broaden my own style and at the same time be creative within the boundaries. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, even though I have the occasional set back and go on an insane shopping spree, shopping anything BUT clothes from my employer!
Looking through our spring collections, I spotted a pair of camo pants, and went on a surf for inspiration, and voilà!
