Everybody must have noticed the rise of the Neon Nike trainers. I first saw Susie Bubble wearing them in a unconvential way, then I noticed Andy Torres (Style Scrapbook) pairing them up with skirts, and now I can’t go anywhere without seeing neon Nike’s on women’s feet in a VERY sophisticated way. I must admit that this is one of those trends I LOVE and will definitely incorporate in my daily looks. I wear my neon Nike trainers quite often with a jeans, but I didn’t wear them with a skirt yet. I guess these babies are going to get a second life, outside the gym and not only in a casual way… Stay tuned!

Being ill has its advantages, or at least a few. One of these is that I can browse all online shops without having the feeling I have to do something else. Of course I have my little baby I have to take care of, but luckily he still naps quite often during the day which means shopping for me – actually I should sleep as well when he does, but anyway…
SO, last night, in one of my ill-dreams – you know the ones when you are sick and you wake-up sweaty and disoriented – I won the lottery! So next to the suits, shirts, and formal shoes I bought for my boyfriend – he also has an expensive taste – I plundered Net-a-Porter, My-Theresa, and even Alex and Alexa – my favourite online shop for James – and bought the most amazing shoes, only shoes… Sweet dreams!

This time of the year you would expect to wear the above look, WITHOUT thinking IF it might be a little too overdressed for this weather, or whether you have to wear a jacket with it… But fact of the matter is, these expectations are way to high. We know by now it is NOT possible to wear the above without a jacket, because YES it is a little too cold for it, and the brights make you feel overdressed. Too bad, cause it is officially summer. So what does one do in this situation? You do as I did yesterday (see here), you pretend it’s summer and just go for it!
The dress in this look is one from Stella McCartney and is VERY high on my wish list. I love the mirrored print big time, but I am still not sure whether I should spend this money on a t-shirt/dress. What do you say? The flats in neon yellow are definitely a must-have. Amazing pop of color in EVERY look, and definitely gives you a summer-vibe. And so does this nail polish in denim, did you get this color yet? In line with stacking bracelets, I bring you stacking rings. These cute stars are cute when worn by one, but even cuter when you stack them. Lovely, aren’t they? Going ahead with a little posh (good contrast with the t-shirt/dress) I think a (fake) gold watch goes very well on a slightly tanned skin. It screams glamour, but not in a tacky way, especially when worn with the oversized sunnies. I am still looking for a nice new sunglasses for this summer, but I have the feeling this could be the one! A small clutch to carry you phone and keys, not something you can miss out on. Plus, clutches are easy and light carriers, exactly what we want during summer, as we don’t want big heavy bags bruising our shoulders!
Keep calm, and keep pretending. I am sure summer is around the corner!
