The beauty of this long length slit up skirt (with the slits on the sides) lies in the movement, nothing is more gorgeous and exiting then the skirt floating and flapping around you when walking! The Muubaa redwood/oxblood ombre jacket works so beautifully with white colors and with boots and heels!

There are so many bloggers I love and for different reasons, I think most of you know Evangelie, the blogger behind Styleheroine and for those who don't I hope you will fall in love with this blog as much as I do! Evangelie is point on when it comes to accessories and strong seasonal statements like her Burgundy look. Accessories like the gold polarized glasses, bunny ears and vast collection of shoes and bags! A deep red leopard printed bag? It couldn't be a more perfect highlight and splurge for this coming fall, same with the gold polarized glasses which are the creme de la creme when it comes to the polarized trend! Styleheroine reads like more then a blog and her accessory finds read like perfect handpicked seasonal highlights!

Twisted, Knotted and Cut-Outs

There are some trends that never bore me! These looks are from a while ago but are still some of my favorite outfits and simply because I just love cut-outs, twists and knotted items! This summer was a season of cut-outs in midriff baring dresses and boots! I really love how the trend went from clothing to shoes and it's easy to find a pair in stores like Zara, Asos, Nelly and Choies! Another Trend I adore until eternity is everything Twisted and Knotted and not only in dresses but in Hairdo's too (tutorials here and here)! Its so easy to simply knot a long length gray jersey dress at the bottom or side or even add some twist to it with a scarf! Perfect outfit in my opinion? A twisted and knotted gray jersey dress with cutout booties and yes a knotted ponytail!
