STYLING ANNIKA

My very pretty friend and cousin Annika is a very hard
working lawyer and a mother for two kids. She doesn't
have that much (read 'no') time over for shopping.
In her job she needs to wear a bit strict lawyer-outfits.
And on her free time she often just pu on the favourite
jeans and a top.

But now she decided to invest in her self and in a new
fresh wardrobe for the spring. And I'm very happy to
help her out – what is a better thing to do on a Friday
lunch, than shopping with a friend...

My objective was not to do a crasy shopping tour,
but to get her some basic, cool outfits that are easy
to match and that gives her a cool and stylish attitude.

So I actually started with two of my own current favourites
– a striped top and a black shiny thin jacket.
A striped top is always right, especially this one made of
a delicate thin, see-through fabric.
Under the striped top I choose a lace tight top.

As I posted before, a black shiny jacket is
soo great, because you can wear it instead of a
suit-jacket inside or as a jacket when the temp
get up out there. It's both stylish and cool and
she can wear it with jeans, tights, skirts or
a dress. Annika's top is from FilippaK for just 1199 kr

For going out, I wanted to find her a dress that she can
wear both dress-up and dress-down. This top from
Tiger (1299) is very cool and she looks fantastic in it.
She can wear it with tights, lace-socks or jeans
depending on the look she is after. And she can wear it
with a jacket to get the more dress-down look. The back is
bare so it gives her a cool/elegant style.

A very good basic wear is also the long t-shirt.
She can wear this under her striped top, as it is
under a suite jacket. With tight jeans or just tights.
It's a must to have in your wardrobe.

SHOES!!! I love shoes...
She wanted to have cool shoes that she can
wear with both a dress or jeans. We found
two pair for her.
First a mix of a low boot and a shoe. I love
this cut off boot/high shoe. It's lovely with
jeans as well as georgous with a dress.
It doesn't stick out as boots do.

These are from Scorett, an Italian
made Novita for 1299kr.

I also love peep-toe shoes, especially these
ones with laces, plateau and two coloured
leather.
She can wear these to everything, with or
without thin socks.

Accessories, it really can make a style just right...or just wrong. It's the accessories that makes the balance between the hair style, shoes, pants or skirts. Wear your hair up, chose long ear rings, but DON'T also wear a big necklase (if you're not going to a BIG party that is). Add a scarf to add colour or a touch of elegance.

Annika bought two scarfes, one greyish pasley and one pink silk scarf with roses and can with those add the touch of street or elegans, what ever she is in the mood for.


I also found a really cool bags with fringes at the Twist & Tango concept store in Haga (Gbg).

And another scarf at Monki, with small fringy balls.
