H&M FALL 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Fall is by far my favorite fashion season and h&m collection being dominantly black is like an icing on the cake for me. I pretty much love everything about it, from sheer maxi dresses and oversized junky knits to basic sunday outfit of jeans and leather jacket. I've been playing with the idea of wearing silk/satin with heavy knits and done some research to get inspiration, I'll post some examples that I found..

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

I have turned into a full time shopaholic lately. A shopaholic that most definitely should be saving up instead! But I can justify almost every purchase with good fabric and good detailing. And how could I possibly say no to this fabulous 100% wool coat that is just perfectly oversized in a size 14. And the navy just complements my oh so black wardrobe. I just couldn't believe I found it from FCUK, I haven't shopped there in years...and what a find from the 'last chance' rack.

YOUNG AND TALENTED DESIGNERS

Randomly as usual I found something cool from the depths of the Internet. Young Estonian designer/model/traveller (and god knows what else that girl gets up to) Anni Jürgenson designs these really cool ear cuffs. Although it's not really my thing (yet) I also came across some of the necklaces she makes. This one here is just soooo perfect! I was looking for one anyway as I've been wearing my Sass&Bide one religiously for years now and would be good to mix it up a bit. Plus, my mum asked me to pick a birthday present for myself and this might be just right!:)

INSTA UPDATE

Now that my bestie got me an iPhone I'm finally on Instagram! I have very exciting times coming so I'll try to update as often as possible and Instagram is just too easy. Here's my Insta-past, for new posts you can follow me riiiight here :)

ALONE TIME

Hi ya'll! Long time no see. Finally I've graduated uni (again), and now that all the Master's celebrations and other festivities are over I can focus more on myself again. 

I reckoned pampering myself would be a perfect start to my new found freedom. Chocolate mask by JOIK smells so delish I'm often tempted to taste it. I rotate between this one and then home made mask of mashed up avocado and honey. Both very effective by the way. And Avene spring water is the perfect finish to any beauty routine. Totally addictive!

HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY

Few days ago I found this online shopping website jessicabuurman.com. Most of the items are obvious replicas of well known designer clothing, but hey, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Prices are definitely more affordable than the real thing, so I ordered a top that's basically a remake of Helmut Lang's drape top. I'm curious what the quality is like, so once it arrives I'll let you know!

NEW NAME, NEW SHOES

It was a long time coming but I finally have a real name for my blog. And new Wang shoes! My very first pair actually. It's definitely true what they say about them being super comfortable, and with 50% off I simply couldn't resist. So welcome to Black and Beyond and cheers to new shoes!

WANGLENCIAGA

I absolutely love Alexander Wang! His designs are exactly what I look in an item, which is quality fabrics, minimalism, easy to wear, and has this little extra something that makes him so great. And now he's gonna be the creative director at Balenciaga! While Balenciaga is a bit out of reach for me, I'm still super excited and can't wait to see FW2013 show!

ALL BLACK

 Got my leather sleeve Zara blazer in mail the other day and a perfect weather to wear it. I have my personal Zara online shopping thing going on with the help of my friends back in Estonia. I think the selection is better in Europe, plus it's cheaper. I'm not a huge fan of shopping in the CBD anyway, so this works out great for me.

BLACK LOVIN'

I finally figured out how to make one of those layered picture things, so here it is...I plan to improve through creating more of this kind of theme or outfit inspirations. I know it's summer and all but I'm still all about black. And more and more loving the idea of sheer anything! This top here with sheer detail would be so great to wear with...well anything pretty much. And oh the cut out boots...I've had my eye on these for awhile now. Gotta love Topshop and international delivery!
