Zara's Metallic Clutch

What started out as a little weekend online window shopping ended with the window part being crossed out : ) I actually discovered this little beauty on an adorable blogger's site I frequent- Stripes & Sequins- and quickly decided that I needed it!

The gold version is featured on her blog, but when I went to Zara's online site to pick up one of my very own, I was disappointed to discover that they were sold out. They did still have the black edition in stock so I opted for it. I think this will be the perfect companion for all those holiday outings this season! Cannot wait until it arrives! I hope it's as pretty in person... If any of you'll have seen the black clutch, please let me know what you think about it?

Style file: Rachel Roy leather skirt

Before I came back to Sweden I bought an incredible leather skirt that I still have yet to wear. I put off wearing it for just the right occasion... Then I lingered over making sure every piece of the outfit worked together... Well, I think it's high time I just bite the bullet and enjoy rocking the skirt with pieces that have already found a home in my closet. What do you think about the looks below? 

How would you pair it up?

In love with leopard!

This trend has been around for nearly two years. I remember first getting into leopard print around Christmas 2009 and feeling a bit nervous to rock my newly gifted leopard print scarf out in public... Perhaps I wasn't as daring in the fashion department as I am now. Besides, it's really all about having fun and taking chances, right?! Anyways, this post is dedicated to the print I've grown to love and currently could not imagine not going to in my personal wardrobe. Here are a few pieces I'm thinking of adding to my closet this season!

the Essentials for fall!

Besides cider, pumpkins, and changing leaves, getting to add to my wardrobe is probably the next best reason I have for loving fall. I think layering is the best way to emphasize my style and I certainly get to do that when the temperatures begin to drop. Cashmere, skinny jeans, and boots become my new best friends! Here are some of the pieces I think are staples that every girl should have a version of in her wardrobe this season...

Belstaff 'Roadmaster' jacket

Sperry "Albatross" boots

Tom Ford "Whitney" sunglasses

Mini Haul & Wish List!

I picked up a few pieces today at an adorable boutique called Factory just off of Gustav Adolfs torg. A friend mentioned that I should check out the brand called CustomMade and it just so happens that that's exactly what I ended up purchasing. Thanks for the recommendation Johanna!

CustomMade Nora Linne

CustomMade Nulle Dress

While I was browsing, waiting to check out, I noticed the most adorable jewelry lining the countertops... I fell in love at first sight with a pair of aqua colored topaz earrings set in 18K yellow gold. The brand is called Misst by M+W, and their line is to die for! Check out the soon to be newest edition to my earring collection below as well as some other pieces I'd be just as happy to adopt here!

Random things I'm loving at the moment...

Just some beauty products that I'm currently obsessed with...

OPI Nail Polish in "William Tell Me All About OPI"

ExfoliKate Mask

I started a little fall shopping the past couple weeks and thought for sure by now I'd get to start using my purchases... I was wrong! It was 23 degrees here today (that's 73F)... I can't believe we're having this kind of weather right now. I mean, I'm definitely not complaining, but I am a little anxious to get to use my new boots and hat.
