Style in winter

It starts with a great coat and well chosen accessories.

This is such a gorgeous shot. I don’t know what I love more, the white coat with its embroidered fastening system or the overall image.

White shirt and jeans and a simple, straight cut cream coat with appliqued leather pockets: impeccable!

Combining different shades of blue with different shades of black.

The elegance of an all-black outfit. Here a little edgy due to the driving gloves,

and here truly classic. Beautiful styling, belted and with the sleeves rolled up.

So many timeless pieces in this outfit: the camel coat, the simple grey sweater and trousers, the leopard print shoes.

This is about the closest to a casual look you will see me in in winter time. But I love wearing my parka with 10 cm-high heels too.

    So many great details to appreciate—wonderful collection of inspiration! I think that Alexa’s outfit has to be my most favorite of all 🙂

    Hope you are having a great new week, my friend,

    These are all gorgeous looks Ada. I love the combination of blue and black and of course you can never go wrong with all black. I adore this shot of Alexa – her coat and clutch are divine! xx

    Such great inspiration! I especially love that third photo — the scarf, the blue sweater, the tall boots, the handbag, I love it all!

    First image – not just the fact that I love that closing system which I also saw on the black yellow coat you posted a couple of weeks ago, but that burgundy embroidered on a white coat, the contrast is so amazing that I think I have something new on my wish list…OMG!

    PS: I envy you for your burgundy wool scarf! But if Santa really reads my blog, he will surely be convinced that on the top of my wish list is something burgundy! Did you see those H&M big burgundy hats? I was on the point of purchasing one, but everybody will have them 🙁 this winter…

      That’s the problem with Zara and H&M. If you love something and buy it you are likely to wear what everybody else is wearing. But I guess here comes the creative part and that personal style that will make you stand out even if you don’t wear a unique piece.

    Ada, you have nailed some of my favorite looks and trends here! I am leaning toward navy and black so much and think it will become only bigger in the coming year, love a leather pocket, the all-black look and of course the parka…so obsessed I may have to add one to my line! Great great post!
