Shades of Brown

New season, new hair...I really wanted to go more brown and get rid of too blond look. I do not love the result but I also hope to get used to it and to get more natural with time.

Anyway, I have been planning my working wardrobe recently a lot and Monday will be my first chance to wear something from it.

Here is something I am planning to wear soon: my printed Zara trousers, simple H&M tank and Esprit waterfall cardigan in mink. Heels are Marian (from Spain).

Ducks, Ducks, Ducks

...on my new top by Vila made of lightest most breathing viscose ever. Isn't it a fun office appropriate print?

Guess what I was planning to combine it with...;)

Sweatshirt, Clutch & Stripes

Some autumn newbies here at BambiHeaven...All from Mango!

This is the clutch I ordered at last and it is by Mango Touch. I fell in love with burgundy suede and the softness of the leather and those cute tassels. And it is rather large and fits all I need.

The grey sweatshirt is from Mango as well. Striped scarf is very Sonya Rykiel but it is actually Mango as well. ;)

Today I had my black jeans by Gina Tricot and Stylesnob ballerinas on. Warm and comfy!

P.S. My children have been today both in daycare and it adds to the feeling of starting autumn...

My New Cream Dress

...I wore for a girls sushi dinner last Friday. I love the wide obi style belt and the cotton jersey fabric of it. And it is always appropriate. Dress - Esprit, necklace - H&M, bag - Zara.

Evening Outfit Sneak Peek

Tonight we are going to see a private jazz concert. Weather looks really warm and I decided to go for a dress (dress-code says "business casual") instead of original white trouser outfit.

This dress I bought in Zara in Spain 2 years ago and have worn only once. Bag is Zara (it has a shoulder chain but I will wear as a clutch). Shoes are unworn Libre comme l'Air.

Clutches: One For Every Occasion?

I am a bit late, I know...Oversized clutches were so in some 2 years ago. But I am looking for one now.

I have a vision of a chic outfit consisting of dark fitted jeans, a blazer, a white shirt with gold tone necklace, high heels and a big clutch. Office and evening appropriate. Clutch adds chic to a basic office outfit. Makes me feel special even it is a regular boring office Monday.

Here are some clutches I liked online. I have already ordered one of them. Guess which?

Soft Arm Candy

I have wanted an animal bag for some time. Python was my original plan but somewhat I could not find the perfect one and I am always in search, of course...But, here is my new soft and cozy friend.

It is from Zara and it can be worn as a shoulder or a tote bag. I think it can suck in whatever. Just what a working mum needs...

Faux Sequin Trousers

It's funny, today I got a message from Yoox with a very cool title: Prints Charming. Advertising printed pants of course. I have got a couple of them, but my newest are from Zara and the print is photographic sequins. Looks really cool at a close look and really subtle overall. Can be dressed up and down.

I dress them now with my new Zara blouse with brass studs and a very old Zara coin belt. Shoes are Mariannes from Spain. Super comfy black platforms.

And can you see something wild lying at my feet?  More news from Zara to come...

Retro Dress

This is a VERY old dress that I love - always - winter and summer, pregnant or not. It is the most flattering cotton jersey which fits my body like a glove. Neckline is deep V with twists that give some cleavage. It is perfect and it is from a thrift store. I bought it for 10 eur and I have now kept it for 6 years. <3 <3 <3

Today I was wearing it with a black Zara blazer and purple ballerinas. Sorry, but they are missing from the picture because "we do not wear shoes in the house" (strict mums rule) ;)

My New Magic Bottles

I used to be a perfume junkie. I had over 20 fragrances on a shelf. And my makeup and skincare used to consist of couple of products only.

Times have changed and I got a little hooked on a quality skincare over last 5 years. I use different products depending on my cycle (yes, i can see improvements even) and time of the year.

I have recently bought two products from same series by Kiehl's. Acai facial spray and a light cream. I spray this spray twice a day on my face, sometimes on top of the tinted moisturizer, if i have forgotten to do that before it. This spray instantly refreshes my skin and it looks somewhat more firm and even. Cream is very light and suits even my skin in summer, also all month round.

Today I have got a new set of Clinique anti-age products for test. Can not say anything yet, but Clinique has been serving me quite well in makeup and face cleanse area at least. I have not really had much skincare of Clinique because i like my products to have some fragrance. But I am open for new things if they can make me look pretty, of course. ;)

Fall Accessories: Angel / Démon

I love browsing shops when new season collections arrive. You can start a new page, take a new image, create a totally new look.

My new additions are something I have checked for a while though. Cotton lace scarf from Zara has already come home with me once - almost. Now it is here to stay, labels taken off.

Black DKNY bag has been in Stockmann also this spring on display and I have almost got it then, though not rationalizing that purchase as smart. Now I think it is a perfectly sized black bag which goes from day to night. Midsized bags are rarity and my thing, definitely.

I would wear my lace scarf with this chain bag for sure. This contradictory effect feels perfectly right.

Sleeping With Butterflies

Little bit of a butterfly crush going on here (also in clothes, of which - later).

Very old wall sticker by Ferm Living finally found its way on the wall over our bed and bedlinen are from Ellos.

The Last Breath of Zara Sales

Just a quick browse into Itäkeskus Zara and I found a wonderful dress on 60% discount.

Color and fit, beautiful mesh detail and golden studs - I love it all. Belt is H&M.

Python Sandals & Lace Top

Today's outfit consists of:

1. the sandals I bought yesterday with a 60% (!) discount. I love the model and the python detail (I have a python period going on).
2. jeans shorts by Gina Tricot
3. Lace top by Zara

This is the outfit I tried frozen yogurt for the very first time in. And it felt a little too sweet for me though quite good.

Soon to the PowerStep class!
