What I've been up to...

So kinda the reason why I've been a bad blogger is because I have been putting most of my time in to my uni projects... I get quite a few emails and questions about my course and what it is about so I thought a few words on it could be in place.. I am on my 2nd year on a fashion design and marketing degree at london college of fashion. It is a very commercial degree where you learn to work on design development & construction supported by marketing reports, I would say LCF is quite a business driven university, especially journalism and PR are know to be very good degrees, if you want to do more art based design and think about launching your own collections, I would recommend central saint martins.

I designed and made this dress as part of my latest project, the brief was to design something in jersey, sportswear or inspired by. The whole concept started from vintage tennis clothing so countless sketches and developments later this dress was what I decided to make.. there is a lot of work - both written and physical that needs to be put in to the projects, but I am not going to bore you with that now..

so yeah.. that's pretty much my last few months.. I now have april off before I start my final project.. and instead of staying in london to sort out important things, catch up and so, I am going to morocco for a month!! yeah insane, but soooo exciting

so I'll try my best to make up for my lack of posts with some 'chiffondressinthewindonadesert' photos

Random Mornings














Love slow laid back mornings where Nova (Cat) follows my every step... She's showing off my new H&M cardigan, I usually never buy stripes but I'm so happy I did this time! It's save to call the cardigan a seasons must have, perfect for dressing up Parisian Chic or just with a tee and jeans.

Two features came in the mail!! Nylon Japan (thank you Marra for sending me the copy) and Vogue Girl Korea where I'm featured in their Pink issue together with some really awesome bloggers!!
( you can see the featured looks here, here and here )

I'm on a roll working on new DIY (embellished) tights! I finished one yesterday evening and have an idea for another pair that I want to work on tonight, I'm using H&M tights as a base (the creme/white and pink tights that are in stores now - perfect for diy's!!) I will work on the tutorials this weekend!

Hey... finally I feel like I have my life back, handed my uni project in on monday and then slept for 18 hours. I sound like a broken record, but maybe now I finally have some time to catch up again..

as you may have noticed I have been quite dedicated to wearing acne lately.. this shirt was one of the gems I picked up from from acne archive in stockholm

thanks for all the supportive comments

Je T'aime Miista












Miista wilma-sand shoes, WildFox Je T'aime tee, Zara sequined leggings, Satchel from Ebay, H&M cardigan


So this is how the outfit that I laid out here turned out, I switched the TopShop bag for the (Ebay) Satchel (seen in a post here) and added a slouchy cardigan to tone down the sugarness a bit.

I just bought the same shape cardigan at H&M yesterday (creme colored with some stripes at the bottom, let's just say the nautical version, love it)

I really hate my toes so I went out of my way to show you close-ups of the shoes haha, I just learned yesterday that they are a limited stock and I'm soooooo happy I got a hold of the last size 6, because I really love them and they seemed to be the kind of missing shoe in my wardrobe to style with outfits like these!

What to wear




















Miista wilma-sand shoes, WildFox Je T'aime tee, Zara leggings, The Olive Shoppe Dino Cuff, TopShop bag, various make-up


I always like to lay things out on my bed, kind of making a collage of what to wear (note that next to my bed there will be a big pile of items that got shifted out haha)

I know there will be an overkill of certain items on my blog but the truth is I'm not the kind of girl that never wears the same kind of thing again, I'm like a real normal person, you know haha, I really wear my favs a lot and like to keep them in rotation, re-styling them over and over again..

The items look overly girly all together and a possible downfall for cheesyness, but you know I'm going to wear it anyway haha, the trick will be minimal make-up, sloppy hair and minimal accessories, I might even ditch the topshop purse, actually I know I will ditch the purse! Replacing it by a ocker/brown old leather looking purse if I can find one!


My new Miista shoes are really fab!! the detailing is so good, the leather a perfect sand/nude color and they make my legs look taller haha
