EN: Hi everyone! I think the secret of surviving a summer in the city is to know where to find a fancy 'beer garden' or a garden terrace. These cosy little places make you feel like you are on holiday :)) Or maybe the secret is to own a perfect white lace dress... or both. You choose! 

RU: Мой личный мини эксперимент подошел к концу. Напишите, понравилась ли вам идея публикаций по тематикам (например, в этот раз я создавала летние образы в белом цвете для города) ? Здесь можно посмотреть образы с кроп топом, комбинезоном и кюлотами. 
А сегодня я хотела бы с вами поделиться образом с белым кружевным платьем. Я лично нахожусь в вечном поиске идеальных белых платьев разных фасонов, длины  и текстуры. Этим летом у меня появился новый экземпляр, и он просто великолепен, уж очень нежно смотрится это белое кружево. 
Я нe раз упоминала в последних публикациях про городские бетонные джунгли, но чем больше я нахожусь среди них, тем больше мне хочется за город на природу. Такая возможность вырваться у многих выпадает не часто, поэтому советую найти свой 'зелёный уголок', скрытый от городской суеты. Даже в самых оживлённых районах можно найти укромное место, надо лишь свернуть с главной дороги ;)

EN: I keep experimenting, looking for a city-girl's summer solutions. This look turned out very sophisticated, sharp and feminine at the same time. I feel like I underestimated the beauty of culottes. It took me time to understand why they are loved all over the world but now I have join the army of 'culottes lovers' . For the first pair in my wardrobe I chose wide leg floral culottes, matching it with a white crop top.

RU: Лето в разгаре, мой эксперимент тоже! Первую и вторую часть можно посмотреть здесь 1 и здесь 2. 
Нет ничего страшного в том, что вы сразу не поддаётесь сезонным трендам. Мне понадобилось время, чтобы понять и полюбить брюки- кюлоты. А главное осознать, что это не fast fashion 'купил- выкинул', а полноправная классика на века. До нас их носили французские аристократы, революционеры (ки) современные принцессы, а сегодня - мы! Самое интересное, что такая модель брюк хороша в любой сезон, 'осень- зима' спасает низ брюк от слякоти, короткие брюки 'весна- лето' спасают от перегрева. Мои брюки- кюлоты - по настоящему летний вариант. Они сделаны из лёгкой ткани, достаточно просторные, но прочно сидящие на талии, рисунок на ткани придаёт женственности образу. Издалека можно даже подумать, что это юбка-миди, но на деле гораздо более практичный вариант. Кроп топ опять нашёл себе применение, просто идеально вписался в образ. И какое же лето без очков! Обязательно обратите внимание на эту модель, у них необычная, но универсальная форма. А как они круто смотрятся на солнце! Закругляюсь со своими хвалебными одами, у нас по плану бассейн ;)

Looks for less - Guys: Vision of Green

Green with envy takes on a real meaning this fall in menswear. All different shades of green are a big trend. While St. Patty’s day green is tough to pull off any other day of the year, its darker counterparts are much easier! Opt for darker and rich green tones that look polished and sophisticated for both day and evening.

Warm and cozy knits are a big trend this season. And what’s not to love about that? Both warm and stylish, knits were seen in everything from sweaters to dresses. It’s a trend that can work for anyone and will never go out of style. Opt for an oversized knit sweater or dress for a bolder statement.

Black and white is as basic as you can get. But that by no means makes these colors dull or any less stylish when combined the right way. Menswear for fall features plenty of black and white combo’s that look ultra stylish and clean. Mixing layers works great for this and I can guarantee you have something in your closet already that will do the trick! But just in case, check out some of these options!

Leopard print never really goes out of style, and rightfully so. Leopard print can be such a fun print to play with and always adds an extra punch of style to an outfit. Once again it was seen in many designer shows. It showed up in everything from handbags to dresses and coats and even shoes. My favorite way to wear leopard is on a pair of heels. It a no fuss way to wear the trend while still making an ultra chic statement.

Summer Wedding Outerwear

Summer Wedding Outerwear

Floral Coat: ASOS Salon 

A quick post today as I'm running/tube-ing/bus-ing between meetings (today's a serious no heel zone) - but I had to share with you guys THIS. Ols and I have two of our best couple friends getting married in consecutive weekends this month. I think (hope, pray) I've got my dresses sorted, but the outerwear?! 

Thank you ASOS for solving our sartorial woes as per. This beautiful floral ASOS Salon number is just the ticket for a Wedding season coverup, it's definitely made my short list. Enough of a statement floral to steer away from twee, beautiful Summer hues and a shape which will endure through wedding season and into autumn with ripped denim and cute ankle booties. 

Do you guys love too?! This evening I'm getting together with some of my girlfriends for burgers and catchups - I can hardly wait. 

Hope you guys have a great one too!

Love,

Bun + Blazer

Bun + Blazer

Blazer: ASOS, Shorts: Vintage Levi's, Sunglasses: Anthropologie

Hey guys! I hope you all had an awesome weekend; mine was filled with friends, food and . . . furniture (?!) lots of the first two and organising of the latter. Ols and I managed to have a BIG declutter of our living room and hall. Space = bliss. 

I ordered this blazer from ASOS a few weeks ago -  a simple addition to smarten up denim no end.  Awesome for weddings, or a Summer/Autumn transitional piece - it's now in the sale too! Double points. 

I'm off to my first personal training session in about 6 years. Eek. Wish me luck!

Sugar Coated

Sugar Coated

Coat: ASOS, Grey Jumper: Iris & Ink

 Who could've predicted that the pink coat would become such a phenomena?!

This sugar-hued honey defies logic, and I think that's kinda awesome.

For me, pink is a pick me up.  It's girly, fun and Spring like and can totally be rocked in a non saccharine way. See gorgeous photographer Jessie Bush for proof. 

 Jeans: Topshop, Shoes: Converse Jack Purcell, Bag: H&M blue & black available online, Top (worn underneath) H&M

Read on for my top tips on working this season's  sweetest shade...

Notes On Styling: bubblegum pink is knocking around a lot. Whilst I totally love the shade, and in particular am crushing on this look from Olivia Palermo, I myself prefer to take the sugar down a notch and wear with a grey jumper, bleached jeans and trainers. This ASOS coat is a dream to wear, I love the boyfriend cut, the mohair, the shade - ugh it's just great. I'm thinking it would look ace with a belt thrown over too like this take from Emily Schulman. 

If bubblegum isn't your shade of choice, don't fret. You can still get in on the trend with a tonne of other options. Anthropologie has a gorgeous cropped biker jacket with a coral body. It's a great nod to the pink coat with a rockier edge.  If I had all the money in the world I would be snapping this  MaxMara coral babe up too. Scroll through the shopping bar below for my top pink coat selections available now. The New Look versions are a steal, and the Topshop denim jacket would be heavenly over a Summer dress.

What's your take on the pink coat? Have you jumped on board the trend? 

Have a super day all!

Love,
