Bold Shoulder
Currently Coveting: Chanel Spring 2010






Karl remained true to Chanel roots, showing a classic chic look in a fairly neutral colour palette comprising of beautiful fabrics. Although he did manage to add a youthful kick, which worked surprisingly well (was the Chanel skirt suit always that short??) While I find myself leaning towards a more classic ladylike look at late (see first image - the joy!), I couldn't help to be pleased to see that there were a few rock and roll offerings to be found. I bet you won't find these skinnies at your local grunge pub!

Working Girl
Trench Coat - Jacob, Dress (worn as shirt) - Le Chateau
Jeans - Zara, Belt - H&M, Hat, Urban Outfitters
Today I asked the question that nearly all fashionistas will inevitably be forced to ask at one point in their lives. "How do I dress for an office environment while maintaining my unique personal style?" Turns out all it takes is a little creativity! Fortunately, my office is fairly casual so I was able to break a couple rules (jeans at work for example), however you working girls can still take inspiration from my ideas and make them your own. Here's the 5 second summary: start with a dark pant, or another classic piece as a base, add a fun piece with a more conservative cut to add a bit of personality (here I wore a printed dress as a shirt), keep it covered up but well fitted. And lastly, a trench coat as a topper is always a great investment piece that flatters many body types.
You will also note that I got a little carried away with the tripod and attempted a jumping photo. These definitely only work in preteen movies! Well, I tried. Until next time, Nikki signing out.

Changes
Jeans - Zara, Belt - Vintage, Shirt - Urban
Outfitters, Jacket - Zara, Scarf - Vintage
As Carrie Bradshaw once wisely said, "sometimes a girl just needs a change". Taking cue from this notion, I've recently decided to add changes to my lifestyle, my wardrobe, and of course, my blog. Naturally this change won't happen in a day, but phase one commences today, with a new photo style (thanks to my parents for buying me a great tripod!) Now I just have to practice my modelling! I'm also debating a new hair-do. I'm thinking an edgy jet black chin length bob with blunt bangs (think Agyness Deyn circa now). Here's to positive changes in all of us (what better time to do this than the New Year). What are your new resolutions? Let me know!
