5 Timeless items you can wear all year long

5 Timeless items you can wear all year long

I am somebody that loves to shop. I have always loved beautiful clothes, designers, pretty things and I am fully aware most of it we do not need in our lives but it is simply my joy. However, the older I am getting the more I am into more timeless items and realise it is important to have some sort of capsule wardrobe. Of course I am never forgetting in investing in beauty but today is about gorgeous shoes, bags and clothing.

Holidays are one of the times when I am packing mainly neutral clothings, simple t-shirts, denim and neutral colour palette as I know I can create endless amount of outfits. Do not get me wrong I am obsessed with cute outfits, touch of colour, textures and layered jewellery but I am also aware of weight limit most of us have to keep in mind.

So here is my list of 5 items that I feel is worth in investing to have these key pieces that can get you through all seasons.

Pair of comfortable sandals

Nothing sounds worse than a weight limit when you are trying to pack your stunning outfits for holidays. And let’s face it shoes are heavy and we need options. So to shop smartly for comfortable sandals that can work day to night is the best option. I personally feel neutrals work but also metallics as you can wear them with anything. I know not everybody loves a kitten heel but I find it perfect option as it gives you a lift but also comfort. However, good pair of sandals can be worn any season and you can just dust them off for holiday season in December.

Good white t-shirt or top

It may sound like a big yawn but white tops and t-shirts will get you through the summer and to be honest it is handy at any season. Yet, it is so hard to find a good white t-shirt. I am very happy with quality of Sezane but also heard very positive reviews about basic t-shirts from Massimo Dutti. Either or it is a key part of our capsule wardrobes.

Blazer

I know for so many people this is such a boring mention but honestly I cannot imagine life without a blazer. The versatility of this piece is unmatched to me. Keeps you warmer, cooler, classier and with blazers of the right length and cut you can create even dresses. As per the shoes I would go neutral as you have bigger chance that it will be key part of most your outfits.

Jeans

Jeans are such a key part of our lives. However, it is so hard to find a good pair of jeans. We are all different sizes and shapes and for me the issues is usually length. I have now discovered this brand NO44 and OMG finally a long enough pair for me that fits well. I think Frame also has incredible jeans selection. I know lot of the summer days can be super hot but if you live in place like London you never know what sort of summer you will get so I guarantee you will need a good pair even for summer months.

Slip dress

Surprisingly slip dresses are still seen more of a night wear for so many. I do not get it. It was an item so popular in the 90s and it came back bigger than ever. I find them so versatile, easy to pack for any holiday and you can accessorise it so easily for a day or night. If you have cute sandals or trainers you can create totally different vibe looks. I love these days there are so many varieties from plain to printed or with lace trim. The choice is endless.

15 Payday treats to move from wishlist to your wardrobe

Some people love to treat themselves on payday with a glass of wine and plate of pasta and some just love to shop. Either or I remember how most of my ex-colleagues went crazy on shopping over lunch break and making big plans. Girls loved to pop out to get the latest makeup and boys loved to splurge on lunch and skipped the beans on toast they were eating toward the end of the month LOL.

So it is time to splurge on yourself whatever the budget lets you. It may be new sunglasses or just get a new classes for that reformer pilates you wanted to try or simple chose something new for your wardrobe. I have included still some wore pieces as simply I believe some will be uber trendy even next winter and to be honest it has been freezing in London.

Yes I am excited for spring and I am myself shopping for spring too but still cannot say no to a cool faux fur coat. I of course had to include some capsule wardrobe items, as well as some quiet luxury pieces as these are the moment. This edit will give you inspiration for modest as well as more out there designs.

I love brands like Demellier, Strathberry or Tory Burch. They make lovely quality models and really play with colours to create chic and timeless designs. Strathberry is stocked in some of London’s department stores but they also have a boutique on Kings Road if you would like to check the quality in person.

I have the snake print one but also love the colours especially burgundy. It is timeless and chic and I always get so many compliments.

Boots to invest in 2021 – Key Looks

Wearing: Dress: The Fold London, Boots: Zara, Sunglasses: Versace, Bag: Chanel

We are in the middle of summer but I am always one step ahead and already exploring autumn fashion. I simply love autumn and the layering and I also love stunning boots. Autumn footwear is just fun let’s face it. Last year was mainly about comfort as we were barely leaving our houses however I have big hopes that this year we get to wear all the stunning boots that are there.

Wearable Booties

I am not coming with anything groundbreaking however classic booties in different shapes and forms are timeless investment. Whether you will go for suede brown to go with some cute dresses or keep it simple and black it is that one type of boot to have in your wardrobe.

Combat Boots

Combat boots have been around for a while but they are not going anywhere. And it is a relief as I think they are a great type of boot. They look cool with girly outfits as well as tomboy looks. If you go for good quality leather they will keep your feet warm and dry. Most brands including Aquazzura, Dior or Jimmy Choo will have great designs to chose from.

Sexy Knee High

These are definitely number one hot boot. My obsession with Paris Texas continues and I dedicated an article to them Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. However most designers are killing this trend in the best possible way. I find them extremely sexy, cool when worn with jeans and they give any outfit fabulous touch of glam. I have a pair of gorgeous black ones but also these gold ones wearing in the picture and cannot wait to wear them again.

Lug sole Boots

These type of boots are either loved or hated. I fell in love with the original Bottega model and have a high-street pair in my closet which I will wear as they are still going very strong. Even brands like Tory Burch or Tod’s are introducing their version. I know this style is not for everybody but they are perfect boot for rainy and dull autumn weather.

Leto je v plnem proudu, ale co se tyce mody, snazim se byt vzdy o krok vpred. Ja uz se pomalu rozkoukavam a vybiram si trendy na podzim 2021. Chci si zkratka vynahradit lonsky podzim, kdy vetsina z nas sedela doma v teplych ponozkach a ven nazouvala tenisky na jednu z povolenych vychazek ci na nakup jidla. A tak uz ted citim velke nadseni, protoze podzimni kozacky jsou neco, co opravdu zboznuju.

Nositelne kotnikove kozacky

Neprinasim zadne novinky, ale urcite stoji za to i letos investovat do nejakych kotnickovych kozacek. At uz se rozhodnete pro semisove hnede krasky ci kozene a cerne kousky, je to opravdu styl, ktery se hodi do kazdeho satniku.

Kozacky ve vojenskem stylu

Tenhle styl kozacek zvanych kombat je tady uz nekolik sezon a ja jsem uprimne rada, ze navrhari a znacky jako Dior, Jimmy Choo ci Aquazzura stale zarazuji tyhle modely do svych kolekci. Ja je nosim casto a jsou skvele jak k divcim satum tak klaskickym outfitum ala tomboy.

Sexy kozacky po kolena

Kozacky po kolena ovladly svet mody. Ja jsem uz pekne dlouho zamilovana do znacky Paris Texas, o niz jste mohli cist i v mem clanku v Harper’s Bazaaru. Tyhle kozacky vam vytvori krasne nohy, jsou sexy a doladi jakykoli outfit. Vypadaji vyborne i k dzinum. Vybirat muzete z velke skaly at uz semisove, ci vice vyrazne jako treba moje zlate kozacky, ktere vidite v uvodni fotografii.

Masivni podrazky

Tento styl botu je bud milovany ci nenavideny. Mam nejak pocit, ze nic mezi tim neexistuje. Ja jsem se zamilovala na prvni pohled, kdyz Bottega prisla s timto stylem na trh a par sezon pozdeji je najdete snad ve vsech kolekcich. Dokonce i znacky jako Tory Burch ci Tod’s predstavuji sve verze. Nejsou to kozacky pro vsechny, ale muzu potvrdit, ze jsou idealni do uprsenych podzimnich dnu.
