Corporate Black and White

This outfit makes me feel like I just walked out of an episode of Scandal or Drop Dead Diva. So "attorney-ish"! :)

Checked Black and White

Checkmate!

Striped Black and White

I never thought this day would come.. Me in a crop top!

Even though this top is oversized and not as "croppy" as most crop tops, this still is a major achievement for me. I've always loved seeing other bloggers like Naturally Fashionable or Gabifresh killing their outfits with them, but I guess I still had to find a perfect outfit for myself, in which I felt comfortable enough to try it too! So, what do you think?!

Next time, I'm going "croppy" all the way!! ;)

So, my initial plan was to select a few pairs of black and white shoes but when I stumbled upon all these gems online I
 just could not pick (there's still a couple left out of this collage).  As I am an avid lover of heels, I did my best to try
and pick choices for everyone, by also selecting some cute flats. Tell me, which are your faves?

Zig Zag Black and White

This vest is everything! It's comfy, warm and stylish. What more do you need?!

March is going by faster than I imagined which is a) good, because we're getting closer to Spring and summer and b) not so good, because I still have lots to show you in my Black and White month! I just can't keep up with time but luckily I already have a few posts lined up, so stay tuned for more. For now, enjoy your weekend!

P.S. I recently noticed that this vest and my shoes have the same print, it was just meant to be! 

Floral Black and White

As I'm shopping my closet, putting together outfits for my Black and White themed month, I get pleasantly surprised sometimes. This dress is a great example. I got it a while back on sale (it's even cheaper now!) and it's so comfy, yet stylish. The stretchy fabric and the simple, but great design, make this dress a winner in my book. Enjoy your Saturday!

*Personal note: Today is our daughter's 3rd birthday. She was so excited! Can't believe how time flies. I still remember sharing my pregnancy news on this blog! She really is a blessing to have, she is such a happy, beautiful, funny little girl and we're grateful to God for having her in our lives. 

This month on SMF...

Yes! After my Peplum month last year in September, I knew I wanted to do another themed month. This time I did not choose a certain style,

but a certain color combo, one of my favorite color combinations actually. Black and white is classic, trendy and yet, always in style. 

Just as last year, it will be (apart from the pastel colors) a great trend for Spring. So this month, only classic, black and white inspiration and looks.

Stay tuned and enjoy!

Work vs Play Pt IV: Patterns & Prints

The last Tuesday of November concludes my final "Work vs Play" post, it's last but certainly not least! This time on "patterns and prints". The work look is a classic black and white, and who said you can't wear body con dresses to work?! Just dress it down by adding a blazer and keep the heels a little "subtle" :)

The play look features another great find, this gorgeous skater skirt. It has some gold like stitching into it, which really compliments the skirt. As my father is Javanese (but born and raised in Surinam), this skirt gave him some kind off "Indonesian" feel, which I also love. Another plus: it has pockets! Yay for pockets!

I hope you liked this month's theme. If you have any requests or ideas that you would like me to feature, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Work vs Play Pt III: Faux Leather

I don't know if it's okay for me to say this but I.love.this.outfit! Love the clean black and white look, and the shirt and skirt, ooh don't even get me started about them! So this week's "Work vs Play" is all about Faux Leather, I chose this fab skirt as an item for both looks. I've already decided that my standard go-to silhouette for this Fall/Winter will be me in a cute sweater, paired with a skirt. So that's a warning! I bet you will be seeing a couple of those looks in the near future. I really have a thing for sweaters this season, what is your go to piece for the season?

For Nefferth's take on this weeks item, check out her YouTube Channel!

Next week: Patterns and Prints!

The Dotted Peplum

This dotted print on the dress makes me a bit dizzy sometimes! From far away you can't even tell it's dotted but up close it becomes more clear. Sometimes the pattern plays a little game with your mind! Nevertheless, I love it of course! xoxo

The "Pleather" Peplum

Ok, this peplum top is the greatest! So happy I found it online at Forever21! We're halfway through September already and I still have a couple more outfits to go. Thanks for the nice comments on this Peplum month, I'm really enjoying this project!

Have a nice day,
xoxo

The P-U Peplum

Yes, I'm on a roll! We're not even half way through my peplum month but there is still lots to come! Today this cute skirt I picked up from Forever21, paired with this cool boyfriend t-shirt. And yep, once again, black and white! Sorry, can't help myself! I hope you like my peplum themed posts so far and be on the lookout for more!

Besos,
xoxo

The Jump-off: Checked Peplum

Kicking off my "Peplum Month" in this oh so classic all Black and White look. For the ones that have known me for a while, this combo of colors no surprise, it's my absolute fave! Stay tuned for more peplum looks this month, and let me know what you think!

OOTD: Flowy Saturday

Yes, you probably have seen this dress a hundred times... When I first saw it on Gabifresh, I thought it was so cute! Eventually Asos Curve brought this dress in black, but I wanted the white one. As you can see, there's a small difference between Gabi's and mine: mine has short sleeves. I also got this one from the Maternity line, and it happens to be still available (and on sale too!). I'm wearing a US14/UK18. It's also available in Navy and Peach. Anywho, this dress is just a dream. It's so flowy and I love the romantic look it brings, perfect for a beautiful Saturday!

Enjoy your day!

OOTD: "Jailhouse Block"

  Don't you just love a great suit? When I saw this one online I just had to have it. As I mentioned before, a classic black and white combo is always a go in my book and this pretty number is no exception! Enjoy your Tuesday!

OOTD: Oh Mickey!

How cute is Mickey? I saw this cute sweater at Primark and just had to have it (and only €12, regular price, not even on sale!).

Gotta love those prices at Primark :)

Have a lovely day,

xoxo

OOTD's: Out of my cave!

I've decided to come out of the cave I've been hiding in and post again. I really have no excuse... Shame on me!!! And even though my irregular posting, you keep showing me love, I'm touched!! Thanks to all of you for liking my Facebook page and commenting, that hasn't slipped by me!

I'm having the hardest time taking pictures these days, it's so cold outside! On top of that I never have time to take pictures in the morning before work and after work it's already dark. Still no excuse, but hey, was worth a shot... ;)

How have you all been???

Thanks for putting up with me, muah!
