STYLING | 3 steps with the lace up front top

It took me a while but here's how I style the lace up front top for a night out in the city look. I like the combination of a 'sexy' top with a boyfriend jeans. It makes the outfit look more effortless and comfortable which suits the city vibe well. You can never go wrong with a leather jacket (yes even in winter times) and ankle boots. 

What do you think of the outfit?

STYLING | Three sportoutfits for different impact activities

I've been working out more and trying to eat healthy the last month. Since I've neglected my gym membership for a while, I needed to have some motivation ready. And a way I  motivate myself to get off the couch is by wearing fun and nice sportswear. It can also come handy for later on, when I'm running 10K at the Nike Women Night Run! Yes, I've decided to join so I must commit to the whole gym thing. And I must say it's going quite well so far, so I'm hoping it sticks. I'm really a noob on this whole running thing, so do you have any tips?

I've compiled some sportoutfits based on different impacts. Low, Medium and High impact.

Below you can see the looks!

What do you think of these outfits?
Are you dedicated to the gym?

P.S. I took these with my new camera, so much more convenient than my previous one!

The first outfit is based on low impact activities. Activities that includes almost no cardio. I like to wear this for a class of 'Bodybalance' which is TaiChi, Pilates and Yoga combined. The sportsbra isn't padded so it's best suited for these kinds of activities. I also don't like to get my Nike Thea's cherrywood dirty by sweating too much and with these classes you don't really need your shoes, so I don't have to worry about that when I'm going to class.

The second outfit is based on Medium impact activities. Activities includes more powerlifting. I'd like to go to the 'Bodypump' classes. You don't do cardio for this class but you will be doing some lifting which can be straining your chest. So a soft padded sportsbra is nice to wear. The shoes isn't necessarily fitted for lifting, they are runningshoes, but these ones fits the best with these leggings from Primark.

The last outfit is based on High impact activities. I'd say running and 'bodycombat' fit into that category. I sweat quite a lot when doing cardio, so I need something light and loose around my upperbody, so this thin top from Primark is perfect. Also I like the pink peeking through the top.

HOW TO | Layering for the winter

December first.. It means that it's officially winter now (for most of us) and what better way to spend your dark and cold days by wearing knits? 

Where I live it's quite hard to predict the weather (although lately it has been really cold). Sometimes it's enough if you just wear a knit and a thin jacket outside and other days it's like you need to wear two jackets. So today we're going to talk about layering, not just layering but layering for the winter.

But how can you add layers to your knit sweaters without looking like a Michelin man?

We start of with a base outfit, that is basically what you would wear if you don't want to catch pneumonia or catch a cold, in the winter (although it really depends on your high tolerance for cold weather). Then the number of layers is decided. Is it a mild winter day? Then a two layered outfit is enough to withstand the cold and run some errands. More layers means the colder the weather.
