Black and Gold

What I wore: Zara Dress, Topshop Leather Jacket, Asos Heels, Balenciaga Clutch (love this color), Nelly Necklace, 
Kenneth Jay Lane Bracelet, Essie Aperitif Nail Polish

I wore this look to date night, so it is a lot simpler and maybe sexier than what I normally wear. 
Not much man-repelling going on here. 
I've worn these heels countless times in real life, but for some reason they have never made it onto the blog before. I like how the simple black dress makes the gold accessories stand out, perfect for showing you those awesome shoes for the first time;) 

I also love how the clutch works so well with this look, because like the heels, it is gold with black hardware. It was actually quite the impulse purchase while I was in Dubai this winter, I sometimes can't be accounted for decisions made on holiday, but it proved to be a great buy and I've worn it so many times, for example here and here.

Easy Does It

What I wore: H&M Skirt, Vince T-Shirt, Pour la Victoire Pumps, Balenciaga Clutch, Asos Earcuff, Cast of Vices and CC Skye Bracelets, American Eagle Necklace

I wore this outfit last week to one of my best friend's birthday parties, I really had no idea what to wear, so I threw on this look, which is one of my fail-safe combinations. Leather skirt + tee + some heels always works, no matter where you are going. 

On another note, tonight is the Life Ball in Vienna, it is a huge party and at the same time a fundraiser for Aids research. A lot of celebrities come every year to show their support. This year the theme is 1001 nights and the fashion show is by Roberto Cavalli. 
If you want to know more about it and see the party from behind the scenes, follow me on Instagram (@thestyledepartment) and I will keep you updated all night! 

Black and White

I have to make a confession, I wore this blazer almost everyday since I got it. I can't remember how I could ever live without it, so you will see it on the blog quite often! 
I wore this outfit to the birthday party of one of my closest friends and just uploading the pictures makes me think of the super fun night we all had. 



What I wore: H&M Skirt, Topshop T-shirt and Cross Necklace, Zara Jacket (recent), Jimmy Choo Shoes, Balenciaga Clutch, Gorjana Initial and American Eagle Necklaces, Kenneth Jay Lane and McQueen Bracelets

Istanbul Day 2: Ortaköy and Bebek

 Good morning lovely readers, first of all thank you for being 300+ followers:) I am really excited every time my follower count goes over another 100:))
These are pictures from my second day in Istanbul, first of lunch at a waterfront restaurant in Bebek, I forgot the name, but I will update as soon as I know it. Then we went to Ortaköy checking out the little jewelry shops, which are definitely worth a visit, if you go upstairs some even make custom jewelry just for you.. that's why I can only show you my new purchases tomorrow.. After that we went to Istinye Park, which is a big mall that has everything form Hermes to Zara. On our way home we saw the most adorable little cat, I just had to put it up on the blog as well:)

Have a great day and let me know what you think about my outfit for the day:)
