Hello lovelies,

Once again it’s Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s item was chosen by Olivia, and she chose a statement belt.

I totally felt like wearing my amazing tutu dress today.. it makes me feel great! So that is what I did, and thankfully the only statement belt I have looks good with it ;).

Evans Swan A/W preview

I was one of the bloggers invited to the preview event of the Evans Clements Ribeiro Swan Autumn/Winter collection last Thursday. I had a really great time chatting to my fellow bloggers and the lovely Evans ladies Carina and Claire, and of course we all were talking about the new items for coming season.

So ok, let me be honest.. I didn’t like the Clements Ribeiro Spring/Summer collection AT ALL. Ok that’s a lie, I did love the black Adele-dress, but it was way too long for my taste. But in general the collection was very far from what I like in clothes. All the prints and lengths reminded me of my grandma’s and their friends, and that put me off. I guess that’s how grandma’s dresses in the 80′s in Finland ;). This is just my opinion though, and I know that many other bloggers loved the range. Anyway, I was really eager to see the Autumn/Winter collection and if it would change my mind about Swan. And you know what, it kinda did! There was 6 pieces that I really loved, tops and dresses with beautiful lace details and contrast finishes. …And the gorgeous lacy pencil skirt. Instant love.

Here’s me trying on the skirt. It looks gorgeous, doesn’t it? Sadly the fit was a bit wrong in that sample, so I will have to go to try it on when the collection is in stores.
