Loungewear haul by Femme Luxe Finery

10 Loungewear sets by Femme Luxe Finery

Since it’s loungewear season again, I decided to make a haul of 10 loungewear sets and outfits to inspire you! During these times, a loungewear set is never too much for staying cosy at home, but in style.

Loungewear: Femme Luxe Finery | Sofa: Diiiz | Poters: Poster Store

This pink loungewear set is my new addition to my super cute staying home outfits. It’s made of such a soft and cosy fabric, that’s great for a cosy outfit during this time of the year.

And well, you can’t go wrong with pink and I’ve been in love with this baby pink colour lately! It’s so delicate and feminine, just like my style.

Here’s another photo of this set on my living room at my new house, which you already know is all in colours like grey, white and light/dusty pink:

So my new loungewear set is even in colour palette with my house. 😉

But here you have all the other lounge sets options to inspire you in choosing your next sets! One in each colour, please!

Here’s a very cute one in black and white in a more sportive style:

Black and white loungewear set
Loungewear set by Femme Luxe Finery | Jewellery: APM Monaco

This set in black and white is great for a comfortable outfit, but in sportive style with a crop top, which make it very feminine.

It’s perfect for staying home, but also for running errands, you can wear it with a pair of sneakers, ballet flat or even with some boots for the winter days.

This light grey loungewear set bellow is one of my favourites, because I think it’s also very elegant and it shouldn’t be kept only inside the house. You can style it even with a pair of high heels like I did in this photo with a pair of plexiglass sandals:

Grey loungewear set by Femme Luxe

The cropped top is so cute and the wide leg trousers are extremely comfortable!

For a basic style instead, nothing like a cosy sweatshirt set. It’s very comfortable and super cute with the crop top. It was available in so many colours that I actually got the light green and also a military green set just like this one:

Green loungewear set by Femme Luxe Finery

Well, when in doubt, just get both colours, right? Here’s the military green loungewear set, which is just the same model of the set above this one:

Talking about basics, nothing like a loungewear in tan to keep it basic! This set is great because you can wear the top in different ways: I explain, the top is actually a normal t-shirt, but you can also wear it like a crop top, making a little knot at the bottom of your t-shirt to make it shorter. 😉

Like I styled in the photo below. It’s not because you’re home that your loungewear should be boring, have fun with it:

Nude loungewear set by Femme Luxe

Like we always say, black clothes are never too much! So of course an all black loungewear outfit will be always useful in your closet!

This V-neck t-shirt with long sleeves is great for staying home, but you can also add some accessories and it will be very elegant even for running errands.

Black Loungewear set

If you love pink like myself, here’s another pink loungewear set for you! This one is also a favourite of mine, because it’s cute and super comfortable for staying home. Pair it with sneakers or ballet flats and you’re also ready to leave the house!

Another thing great about a loungewear set is that you can also create different outfits at home, like wearing loungewear trousers with another top, so you have a new outfit!

Just like I did with this pink set above, I wore the bottom part with another top, to create a different outfit:

Staying home outfit: Femme Luxe

In this case, I was wearing it with a white tricot top, that matches the white stripes on the loungewear trousers. Of course, you can also wear the loungewear top with another pair of trousers, let’s say some white, light grey or even black trousers would look great with it.

So with every loungewear set you have, you can create at least 3 different outfits.

And here’s a very different outfit for staying home, that’s not actually a loungewear set, but it’s great when you wear something even more feminine or when you feel like wearing a dress!

I always loved dresses and it’s no surprise since I always publish many dresses here on the blog, so, of course, we can also wear dresses at home! Here’s an example of a dress that is very comfortable for staying home. You can wear it on a day off of even if you’re working from home. Add some accessories as I did in the photo below and it will look great for an online meeting or talking with friends on FaceTime:

What about you? Are you loving loungewear sets just like I do too?

Stay home outfits 2.0

Stay home outfits

Well, since we have been staying so much at home, we need to get the home outfits more fun and cute! So our mood can get better even during this situation!

So bye-bye pyjamas during the day! Get on a cute outfit every day, even if you’re going to stay home during the whole day.

During this crazy time over the last months, I’ve noticed that a cute and more elegant outfit is definitely needed to start my day in a happier mood. No pyjamas allowed during the whole day. Get your day started with a great breakfast and some cute loungewear! I’m loving loungewear sets for the cosy staying in days! Just like this one:

Black and white loungewear set
This loungewear set is from Femme Luxe Finery and my jewellery is from APM Monaco.

A cute loungewear set is great because it’s super easy to wear (no need to lose time thinking about the outfit combination in the morning) and it’s of course, such a comfortable outfit to stay home!

And If you go for a black look, it’s also a great outfit for running errands in style. Pair it with sneakers or even ballet flats and you’re ready to leave the house!

This one in black and white is casual, comfy and stylish at the same time, it’s definitely a win-win situation for staying in or running errands!

For a more feminine outfit, I’m loving this black co-ord skirt! Even if staying home alone, it’s a great outfit to feel more feminine and cute. And let’s face it, during this weird time, it’s always great to show some self-love and to feel better every day.

Co-ord black skirt

After so many days wearing trousers all the time at home, I just loved the feeling of getting on a cute and super feminine look! Definitely something I’ll be doing more in the next weeks!

It doesn’t matter if you’re staying home with family, friends, boyfriend or even all alone, we deserve to feel good every day, and getting a cute outfit is definitely a great way to start doing it. Some people may say it’s foolish, but it’s definitely not the case. Try it and thank me later. 😉 I’m sure it will help you to get in a better mood!

If you follow me on my Instagram @manuluize (if not, what are you waiting to follow me? 😉 ), you know I’ve just moved to a new house and comfortable outfits are a must for my days filled with organising the new house in a comfortable way. But you know me, the style will never be left out of an outfit, even at home.

Last, but not least, if you’re feeling a little down, add some bright colour to your outfits! Nothing like a red outfit to bring me energy, have you ever tried it?

My choice this time was this red crop top with long sleeves, perfect for this season in style, after all, Christmas is just around the corner and red is always a key colour for the Holidays!

And missing just a little less than a month to Christmas, I’m definitely ready for this holiday season and ready to get on some Holiday outfits!

STYLING TIP: I’ve just noticed a coincidence that I was wearing this necklace on all of the outfits above! Since a lot of people have been asking about it on my social media: it’s a medal with my zodiacal sign (libra), it’s by APM Monaco from their new collection called Constellation. A great touch for my staying home outfits and to bring more positivity and a touch of happiness to my daily loungewear outfits.

Add accessories and jewellery to your loungewear and staying home outfits is a special touch to make any outfit go to the next level. I’m sure it can also help your mood go to the next level as well. 😉

4 Fall outfits for all occasions

The fall season is here again and here are 4 fall outfits to inspire you in getting ready in style for this season. I’ve picked two outfits for going out and 2 outfits for staying in, so we all can have inspiration for different outfits and different moments of our week.

Let’s start with a red dress, apparently, I was actually on a “red mood”, because both of my going-out-outfits are actually red. I love red outfits, but I don’t know why they remind me so much of the fall season.

Since the weather is already getting quite cold here in Milan, long sleeve dresses are required! So the first red dress is perfect for lunch/dinner with friends or for a date night.

dress: Femme Luxe Finery | Jewellery: APM Monaco

To style it in a very feminine and elegant way, I choose to wear it with a large headband with crystals, that make this outfit have a chic appeal, even if it’s a bodycon dress.

The square cleavage of this dress also helps to make it more of a chic dress, because even if it’s a bodycon dress, it creates a balance between sexy and elegant.

Here you can check more details of my accessories and makeup:

The jewellery is from APM Monaco, from their Météorites collection and the red dress is from Femme Luxe Finery. I’ve been wearing this jewellery pieces so much lately.

Now it’s time for the second outfit, another dress:

Red off shoulder dress

For this outfit I decided to go with a darker red shade, almost like a wine colour for this bardot dress, because I love the way it looks and it’s such a great colour for this season.

While the weather starts to get greyer, I love to bright it up with some colour! And this dress is so cute.

Red dress by Femme Luxe Finery

I also styled it with some silver jewelry, this set is from a brand called Verano Hill, to bring a little bling to this outfit. The dress is from Femme Luxe.

Well, since the cold weather arrived and the global pandemic situation seems that it will still stay here for a little longer, I also picked some loungewear outfits to help you stay home comfortable and in style. Because during times like this, it all starts to make our mood get a bit down and every little help we can get that will make our day brighter is very welcomed! And to me, a cute and nice outfit, even for staying home is definitely something that gives that special touch even for staying home.

So my first loungewear outfit is this black loungewear set, that is super elegant being incredibly comfortable at the same time:

It’s something elegant and cute for staying home, but also very easy to wear. A loungewear set is great specially because being a set, you don’t even need to worry about finding two pieces to match between them.

I don’t know you, but even when I stay home, sometimes I just look at my clothes thinking what to wear and how to match them, so a loungewear set is great for cutting the time you spend thinking about it. Just get your set and you’re ready to go (or to stay home 😉 )!

Last, but not least, this is one outfit specially for staying home and to be very comfortable! The joggers are definitely back in fashion and I must confess I didn’t wear one since I was a child, but I couldn’t resist this one in pink! It’s the cutest one:

Pink joggers outfit for staying home
Joggers: Femme Luxe Finery | Top: Shein

If sportive is your style, joggers are probably already part of your closet, but I’ve just rediscovered them and this is definitely an outfit I will be wearing more during this season.

Joggers are great for staying home or running errands, since it’s a trendy pair of pants, you can know wear it in so many different ways, that it’s no longer just a home outfit.

If you follow me on Instagram @manuluize, you already know I’m moving to a new house and that I’ve been decorating it all from zero, so I’ll be spending a lot of time home organising everything during the next weeks when all my furniture will be delivered, so loungewear will definitely have a big-time on my choice of outfits.

Short evening dresses: what style to choose?

Short evening dresses

If you know me already, you know I love a dress and short evening dresses are the perfect choice for that special occasion or for a night out.

What I love the most about short dresses is that you can wear them on many occasions, so when you prefer a short dress instead of a long dress, you’re able to easily wear it again on other occasions.

I mean, don’t take me wrong, I love maxi dresses, but when you invest in one, you probably are not going to wear it as much as you would be able with a short dress. But once you decided it’s time and occasion for a beautiful mini dress, it’s time to choose your style!

Short evening dresses: Some different Styles

There are many styles of short evening dresses, so you will have a lot of options. From a basic style to a full sequin dress, you can choose the one that’s perfect for each occasion.

Sequins and embroidered dresses are great for more formal occasions, while something less formal like a night out can require a simpler evening dress.

I love dressing up, so whenever I have the opportunity, I’ll be happy to do so and add some crystals, sequins and shine!

Sequin dresses: 10 short evening dresses
The perfect holiday’s dress, I love sequin dresses especially for NYE. My dress was by Goddiva.

But, of course, not all occasions ask for a full glam sequin dress and you can also choose simpler dresses that are also elegant and completely adequate as party dresses.

A black dress, for example, is always a great dress full of possibilities. A black evening dress is a must-have for every closet! It will for sure be a great acquisition to you, so you’re always ready even for that last-minute event.

Plus size short evening dresses
plus size dress: Goddiva

I mean, a woman always needs to have that amazing black dress waiting for her, or that many amazing black dresses. A new black dress is never too much because you will always find an occasion to wear it.

If you want a dress that is something in the middle of a basic dress and a full glam one, there are also many styles and options. You can choose a party dress that has some embroidery details or even some sequin details.

I was browsing through party dresses online and I love this light pink short dress inspired by the flapper style! That would be a great example of a dress between basic and full glam, it’s something you can wear for a birthday party or even for a day wedding.

pink evening dresses

I would see it even as a night out outfit in the city.

Long sleeve dress
Lace dress by Goddiva

Lace dresses are also another great option to choose as your short evening dress. They are classy, elegant, and very feminine.

If your occasion or event is a formal event and you want to go full glam, you can enjoy full sequins and embroidery dresses. They are for sure my favorite kind of dress. I can’t help a little glam and I will be always happy to dress up on every possible occasion. 😅

Short evening dresses: embroidery dresses

Sequin dress: 10 short evening dresses
Outfit: Goddiva dress |High Heels: Topshop

To me, a party is a time to dress up and I absolutely love embroidery dresses. They can be done with traditional embroidery or embroidery with crystals and sequins. Nothing better to “scream” party outfit than an embroidery dress.

And anyone can wear embroidery dresses, at any age, you can enjoy and shine with an embroidery dress. All sizes are also welcomed and you can find many plus size dresses with embroidery and sequins.

Embroidery dresses

Short evening dresses: sequin dresses

Sequin dress: 10 short evening dresses
Outfit: Dress: Goddiva |High Heels: Topshop

I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry, I just can’t help but loving sequin dresses and I’m always happy to find an occasion when I can wear one.

But now you think, when to choose a sequin dress as your evening dress?

You can wear a sequin dress on many occasions, depending on the model of the dress. A sequin dress can be your choice for a fancy night out, for your birthday, holidays (especially for NYE), or even to formal occasions like a wedding.

So when we start from sequins or embroidery in some details of a dress, it can be a great wedding outfit for an evening wedding. You have a touch of shine to make your look more formal and perfect for a wedding.

But when you’re the star of the party, you can for sure go for a full sequin dress! Like I love to do on my birthdays, which is just at the begging of fall in October. And when I say full sequins, yes, a complete sequin dress even if long-sleeved.

What about you? What will you choose as your next short evening dress?

Summer outfits: inside & outside

Femme Luxe Finery outfits

Finally, we can go out and enjoy some summer outfits! So here’s my new selection of 4 outfits to stay in and to go out!

• Going out outfits:

Let’s start with a summer dress because you all know I love a dress and to go out in one. Especially if it’s a very feminine dress like this one. For this outfit, I chose a pink asymmetric mini dress with a long sleeve in a sheer fabric, so cute and also so elegant!

And as you will notice, I also have super curly hair in the next two photos! It was the first time in my life that I did mini curls and I had a lot of fun with this different hairstyle. It felt so new and different to me, I do a lot of messy waves on my hair, but I had never done anything like it.

It was so fun to do it, so enjoy some different me in these outfit photos:

Light pink asymmetric dress

Dress: Femme Luxe Finery | Jewellery: APM Monaco

I love a pink outfit and this dress is super cute, but also sexy because it’s a bodycon dress. So you’re able to dress sexy, but at the same time, in an elegant way.

It was my outfit for last Friday night for dinner with my friends, so it’s the perfect dress to go out. And the long sheer sleeve is lightweight and ok even for the summer, especially if you’re wearing it during the evening, while the weather is fresher.

But, now getting a little less dress up, it’s time for a more informal outfit, but very trendy.

A big trend for this season: the tie-dye top, especially this model that is sleeveless and that has padded shoulders. It’s the perfect top for traveling this summer in a very casual outfit with a pair of denim shorts or even with white pants.

Tie Dye t-shirt outfit

T-shirt: Femme Luxe Finery | Denim shorts: Pull&Bear | Jewellery: APM Monaco

So if you’re into the tie-dye trend, go for it! It’s its big moment during the summer and you can style it in so many ways and if so many colors. It also goes well in some many occasions, it only depends on how you style it. 😉

• Loungewear outfits:

I already said it before and I’ll be very sincere, I think the loungewear trend won’t leave our wardrobes for a long time. Luckily, the quarantine is over and we can go out and enjoy some sunshine, but I think loungewear will be part of our daily lives for a long time.

That’s why I’ve got two other loungewear sets that are actually so cute and elegant that I would happily wear them out of the house as well.

Black loungewear set

Loungewear set: Femme Luxe Finery | Bracelet: Les Georgettes |

This black loungewear set is great even for running errands with sneakers or with a ballerina flat! Or you can pair it with a pair of high heels for a dress-up look, they look so good!

Go with black shoes for a neutral outfit or you can also play with colourful shoes for a statement outfit!

A comfy outfit for staying in or for being busy out of the house.

My next choice is this grey loungewear set that I must say: I’ll definitely wear it out of the house! I just loved this set, it’s so elegant, cute and it looks perfect with a pair of high heeled sandals! It screams “take me out” and it will be impossible to only stay in the house when wearing it!

Grey loungewear set by Femme Luxe

Loungewear set: Femme Luxe Finery | High heeled sandals: Amaro

With trousers and a cropped top, this loungewear is very elegant and doesn’t look like you’re dressed for staying in. So I would say it’s perfect when you have guests home.

I love to dress up when I go out and I should say I’m actually surprised I enjoyed the loungewear trend this much! But I mean, when the set is so cute like this, it’s impossible not liking it, right? And by now, the loungewear style became part of our lives!

What about you? Will you be wearing your loungewear outside as well?

Green loungewear set by Femme Luxe Finery

And I’m loving loungewear sets, they are so comfortable and easy to wear at the house, but they are also perfect if you need to run errands last minute. Just add a pair of shoes, even a pair of high heels can be styled with a loungewear set for a more fancy look!

I liked this loungewear set so much that I actually got it in two shades of green! The loungewear set you saw above is in a light green shade with a cropped sweatshirt + comfy trousers.

Such a cute color for the spring days and nights at the house.

But if you prefer something in a darker color, I also loved this military green cropped loungewear set that could be the perfect choice when you’re in the mood for darker colors!

A post shared by Manu Luize | Fashion Blogger (@manuluize) on Jun 16, 2020 at 11:23am PDT

If you want something more like a basic style of loungewear set, I’ve got you covered with the next outfit! The top is quite oversized, but the nice thing is that you can wear it oversized, but if you prefer, you can make a knot at the end of this top to make it a cropped top, in a more feminine style. Like I did in this next photo:

Nude loungewear set by Femme Luxe

Talking about basics and nude color, here’s another nude outfit with a mini ruched dress outfit! It’s a nice outfit for going out to dinner or for getting some drinks at the weekend.

It’s a short dress, perfect for the warm weather that’s already happening here in Milan! Milan’s summer can be really warm (and even hotter than expected!).

Nude slip dress

And being of such a neutral color, you can style it with accessories in so many different colors, like with a pair of red high heels like I did here:

nude mini ruched dress

Since last year, I’ve been loving the cropped top trend, especially since the summer is so hot here in Milan. And apparently nothing changed for this year, I’m still loving cropped tops!

For the fresh days and nights, you can still enjoy a cropped top with long sleeves here, like this white one that you can wear in so many different ways:

White cropped top

And a white T-shirt is always a must-have any season, especially one with a cute phrase like this one that says: “In a world you can be anything, BE KIND”. And I just LOVED it, so it had to be mine.

I love to style cute outfits with slogan T-shirts! For this outfit, I styled it with a pink check skirt to keep it super cute and summer-perfect!

Manu Luize Milano - T-shirt outfit

To give it a twist, I made a little knot on this t-shirt, to make it a cropped top. Which was not only much better for the warm day at the city center, but also made the outfit cooler!

Cute t-shirt outfit

By the way, since every time I post a photo with my new glasses someone asks me where it’s from, my glasses are from Swarovski. They are prescription glasses that come together with the sunglasses cover, so it’s easier that having to change glasses all the time. You can find it here:

So what will be your must-buy pieces for this summer? I’m loving the cropped tops, as I’m sure you can definitely see from this haul.

Staying home Outfits in Style

Stay home outfits

Well, here we’re again, another day in the house. So I’ve though about picking some outfits for staying  in the house, but that will be also great for going out later this spring.

Because staying at the house the whole time can get a bit (or a lot) boring, specially for who, like my self, is completely alone. So, getting a cute and stylish outfit can definitely cheer up the mood and make the staying home alone a better moment.

 

• 4 Staying home Outfits in Style:

So let’s start with a perfect-to-be-home outfit: a loungewear set! Nothing like a good loungewear set for staying home in a very comfortable outfit, but in an elegant way. So, take notes; nothing like a black lounge wear set to be very chic and classy at home:

Black loungewear outfit

Loungewear set: Femme Luxe Finery

Simple and elegant! But the best is that if you need to go out and run some errands, you can style this black loungewear set with some jewellery, comfy flats or even (why not) a pair of comfy high heels. Since I was just relaxing home during the weekend, I didn’t wear any accessories, but accessories would make this set perfect for going out of the house or even if you need to do any video call:

Black Loungewear set

I mean, how would have ever said that the Spring 2020 main trend would be loungewear? Well, that’s definitely a good time to enjoy this style of clothes! Nothing like being cosy in style at home.

 

Another option of outfit that goes very well for staying at home is getting a super cute long sleeve top and match it with a pair of lounger wear trousers. I mean, this top will also look great with a pair of jeans or even with some coloured trousers or a skirt. But, it’s also a great option for a more feminine outfit at home and it will be definitely ready to go out very soon!

Top: Femme Luxe Finery | Trousers: Femme Luxe Finery | Glasses: Dolce & Gabbana

 

This loungewear trousers is part of another loungewear set I showed you before here on the blog, on this Femme Luxe Finery review. And since they are pink with the white detail, it was perfect to make this cute top more casual and comfy for staying home.

White ribbon top

 

For a more casual and relaxed look that’s perfect for the warm days, I styled a white T-shirt with a pair of shorts. And since the white t-shirt was a basic t-shirt, I made a little knot by the bottom and styled it with a necklace in different layers + a cool high bun. All together, I created a super casual, fun and cool outfit:

White T-shirt outfit

T-shirt: Femme Luxe Finery | Shorts: Rosa Chá | Necklace: Forever 21 | Glasses: Swarovski

 

And I must say I just love this Babe T-shirt!

Style Tip: Whenever you have a basic t-shirt and you want to give it a twist, just make a little knot at the bottom of the t-shirt and you will have a totally cool style!

Babe T-shirt

 

It wouldn’t be a selection of outfits made by myself if there wasn’t even a little dress on it! Of course you can wear a dress at home, but truth be told, I can’t wait to wear this spring green dress out of the house! It’s a light green silky dress that’s spring-perfect! Light in fabric and in colour.

Green dress for spring

 

This dress gives me so many spring/summer vibes! It’s perfect for a warm day or night out. My style choice was to wear it with a high bun hairstyle (perfect for the warm/hot summer days) and statement earrings + a red lipstick (because a red lipstick is always a good idea).

Green dress for spring

For the shoes, this dress works well with high heels for a more fo a dress up look, or also with a pair of flats sandals or ballerinas.

And I must say, how big was this coincidence that I was wearing a green nail polish at the same day of this green dress?! Actually green is a colour I don’t wear that often (nail polish, makeup or clothes), but I really love this dress’ colour and how it looks non my skin. 💚

 

If you’re in doubt of what to wear during this quarantine days or what to do to pass your time, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @manuluize, where you will find my tips on styling, beauty/makeup and what to do during the days.

Vegan Leather Backpack: Jord Review

Vegan leather backpack

A couple of years ago I talked about Jord Watch here on the blog, a super cool brand that designs wood watches and now has launched a vegan leather handbag line! My choice for this outfit was Binca: a super cute and elegant backpack designed with vegan leather by Jord.

And here you can check all details of this beautiful vegan leather backpack and how to wear it on a day trip, like I did on this outfit on a day trip to Verona during the Valentine’s Days. 💕

 

• Jord Binda Backpack review:

Jord packpack

Enjoying a beautiful day on a day trip to Verona, with a very comfortable outfit, but – of course – with a touch of style. 😉

I was never a really backpack kind of girl, but since this kind of bag have been recreated and designed in a more fashion and even in a more luxurious way, I’ve been enjoying a lot this kind of bag over the last months! And my choice of the Binca mini-backpack was the Gold and natural colour by Jord, such a chic piece!

Also, it’s such a neutral colour that you can actually style it in so many ways, be it a daily bag for going to the university, for working or even for a day in the city. It doesn’t have to be just a travel bag, since it works as a bag for so many occasions.

 

Vegan leather packpack

I think it’s important to mention the attitude that JORD has creating a vegan leather handbag line! More specific they use a fabric called Suberhide™, which is considered the world’s most durable luxury fabric made from natural Portuguese cork.

This handbag feels so luxurious, as you can see from my photos, it has absolutely nothing to do with the cork stopper of a bottle of wine, it’s super soft, smooth and elegant!

And Jord made sure that this handbag was sustainable, from the harvest of the material to the final handbag, which is definitely a great thing about this brand and specially about this bag, proving that we can have sustainable pieces on our closet that look and feel great!

 

Jord watch backpack

The Binca by Jord is a mini-backpack with a lot of space to carry whatever you need on your day or for a day trip. My day trip to Verona was actually  a surprise to my boyfriend, who had no idea we were going to the train station to catch a train to Verona, so I needed to pack (and hide) all my travel supplies like my camera, water bottles for two, cable and phone chargers. My Binca handbag was my only confidant. 😂

And it was a great and comfortable bag for the day, it accompanied me during this day trip in which we walked around Verona the whole day visiting the famous spots of the city and following a Romeo & Juliet tour.

If you would like to help Jord design their next handbag,  you can answer some questions here on how do you like your handbags!

My first getting into the spring outfit is this pink leopard dress with long sleeves! The pink gives this leopard print a touch of femininity and also some freshness, that make this long sleeve dress perfect to start your spring days in style! Ruched with a frill hem, it’s fashionable and super girly, just the way I like a dress!

I love how the pink print makes this dress even more feminine, instead of the traditional leopard colours, the perfect way to start a new spring season! And to make this look even more feminine, I styled it with some girly accessories, like a pink headband and a pink lipstick.

Since I can never get tired of a dress, my second choice of spring outfit is this tan coloured day dress, because I can’t wait to get tanned for the summer! 😂 And a long sleeve dress is perfect for this change of season, while it’s not warm yet, but no longer that cold.

A dress like this is perfect for the daily life, you can wear it as a casual outfit, being able to be comfortable at the same time as stylish. It’s a very versatile dress, you can wear it with a pair of high heels, flat shoes or even with a pair of boots for the transitioning outfit.

And to make this outfit more fashionable, I styled it with some jewellery made with edge wood pieces, that make this outfit super cool. And for the hair, I gave it a little touch with a half up do hairstyle, wearing a cute hair accessory to make it more dress up:

To follow the spring mood, I’ve picked this cute pink puff sleeve top in lace, that’s sheer and make it a perfect beginning of the spring piece to start the season in style with a very feminine outfit. I styled it with a pair of white trousers to get that spring vibe of pastel colours, that I love to wear during the sunny days or also to make any cloudy day a better day, and that’s definitely what we need now! Good outfits and good vibes!

Being home a lot lately here in Italy, it doesn’t mean you should be in pyjamas the whole day or wear only loungewear clothes, there are days I just love to dress up and cheer my mood up too. Actually, this is a great advice to have a healthy routine and get dressed as normal everyday, just to keep your vibes higher and you feeling better during these days.

 

For all the shirt lovers out there, nothing like a polka dot shirt to make your outfit more fun! And this long sleeve shirt in organza definitely brings a special touch to your outfit. You can style it in so many different ways, for example, you can wear it with a pair of trousers or even with a skirt or shorts.

For this outfit, I styled this blue organza shirt with a black leather skirt for a sexy and elegant outfit:

To bring more fun and more fashion into this outfit, I did a little half bun on my hair, that makes this look much cooler. It’s such a cool, easy and quick hairstyle to do during the day to change your look.

3 Night Out Outfits to Rock!

If you’re like me and you love to go out, be it a party, a dinner or a date night, here are 3 night out outfits to inspire you in shining through the night!

There’s no question that a black outfit is the king of the night-out-outfits, and to inspire you in choosing your next outfit, I’ve styled 3 different night out outfits in black for this season. By now, you all know how I love a shinning outfit an it doesn’t matter if it’s with sequins, glitter, metallic fabrics or metallic details, a little shine was never too much.

So let’s get this party started!

 

• 3 Night Out outfits to inspire you:

Velvet glitter dress: 3 Night Out outfits

Velvet Dress: Femme Luxe Finery | Shoes: Surface to Air | Hair accessory: Moliaba

Let’s start with a little black dress, that’s not plain at all! My first night out outfit is this black velvet dress with a metallic shining touch that makes it a perfect choice as a sparkly dress. It’s a great dress for going out to the club or even for a dinner or date night when you pair it with a cosy coat.

You can check more details of this velvety dress on the photo bellow to see how shiny it actually is (I didn’t add any filter at all on the photo and no shining effect was added, it’s really how the dress shines is person):

Since this dress is more in a tight style to the body, I decided to do a soft makeup with brown shades as for the eyeshadows and a pink lipstick, to create a balance between the sexy dress + a cute makeup. Also the hairstyle I did was on the cute side as well.

This his something I love to do, mix a contrast between sexy + cute to create a different outfit.

 

If you prefer a long sleeve dress for the cold weather season, here’s a great option: a bodycon dress, but with a high neck + long sleeves with the right amount of shine! This mini dress also has some shinning metallic details that make this a sparkly dress to rock on a night out!

Add a pair of comfortable high heels and you’re ready to party all night long with this dress!

 

I LOVE dresses, but of course you don’t need a dress to style a night out outfit, you can also do it with a pair of trousers! And since shining  clothes were my inspiration for styling these 3 outfits, I’ve picked a pair of sparkle wide leg trousers for this third outfit option for going out:

Glitter trousers

Well, the wide leg trousers were definitely the highlight of this outfit because they are super shining also in person, I’d say more shinning in person that it looks like in this photo. Therefore, it’s perfect for a special occasion or as a nice dinner outfit, this outfit will guarantee that you’re dressed to impress. 😉

I was in love with this pair of trousers since the first time I tried it, because it’s so shiny that it creates a beautiful effect for your outfit.

 

Since this pair of trousers were already shinning enough, I styled them with a cropped top in black satin, the perfect touch for an elegant outfit. There was already glitter enough on this bottom part, so the top could be more neutral and basic to create harmony and balance on my outfit.

Lately I’ve been loving crop tops and even the long sleeve tops in a cropped style have been my go to style of tops this fall/winter season! It looks so beautiful and classy when you style a crop top with high waisted trousers or high-waited skirt.

As anything in fashion, there are many different kind of options to explore when styling a night outfit, which is the coolest thing about fashion: we can always play and enjoy many different styles and outfits!

And how do you prefer to style your night out outfits?

Casa intelligente check ✅ Con @simplehuman sto o Casa intelligente check ✅
Con @simplehuman sto organizzando la mia casa in modo più semplice ed intelligente! 🤩 
➡️ In cucina ho scelto la Pattumiera differenziata con sensore di movimento e commando vocale, basta dire “open can” e la trovo aperta, senza fare più casino in cucina quando devo buttare la spazzatura e ho troppe cose in mano. La cosa più comoda da avere mentre si sta cucinando! 
➡️ In bagno invece, ho sistemato la doccia con una Mensola per la doccia con gancio per porta! Adesso ho tutti i miei prodotti per fare la doccia a portata di mano, organizzati in una bella ed elegante mensola facilissima da istallare! Cioè, basta metterla sopra la porta della doccia e voilà!
