I had a nice break away, and wanted to say thanks so much for
your support and visits, they are truly appreciated. Stay tuned for special
goodies coming soon to share with you in these next couple of weeks.
It’s always nice to pull out old favourites from my closet,
which includes this Calvin Klein jacket that has received plenty of wear over
the past year or so, since the day I bought it. After modifying the daily beauty
routine, I just grabbed a touch of mascara, bronzer, and a favourite lip colour
to finish the look.

Sometimes on the weekend when a friend calls you for an
impromptu meet up, you may not have it all together or feel like wearing work
clothes, but there are still many ways to dress with ease and style. This was one
of those times. My friend Zoë had a long
layover, so we met for breakfast, and then went to a café for a proper catch
up.
What was needed: a weekend ensemble that combined stylish
comfort and easy elements to alter for a semi-rainy day. A very relaxed
approach was also somewhat essential, since I had a previoius late night, so I decided to
grab my safety style elements. A hat, scarf, and jersey knit—a hand-dyed dress
suited the occasion perfectly!
How is your week going so far?
Have you had weekends like this?
The goods: Embellished hat-DIY, Croc and Leather
Shoes-Bruno Magli, "Doris" Eco Organic Cotton shawl worn as belt-c/o Gudrun Sjödén, Jersey Dress-Ladyofashion
design, and hand-dyed-DIY, Eel Purse-Vintage, Printed silk scarf-Liz Claiborne, Denim jacket-Calvin Klein,
Necklace-DIY.

I'm intrigued by Zoe's "layover", does that mean she's cabin crew? Are you?

A long layover is always a good way to catch up with a friend. This shade of deep lavender is so pretty for spring and the silk scarf is a beautiful print and colour combination. A gorgeous accessory!
ReplyDeleteWell styled, esp. loving the belt! Looking forward to your future posts! (:

Liebe Madison, das ist ein total passender und toller Look für das, was Du am Wochenende mit Deiner Freundin gemacht hast! So eine gute Idee, die Jeansjacke mit diesem wunderhübschen Kleid zu kombinieren, von dem ich die Farbe so sehr mag. Und der Hut macht das ganze perfekt! Meine Woche war soweit gut, aber eher spannend :) Hoffentlich hattest Du eine gute Woche!

ReplyDeleteHi Madison! I didnt know this brand but Im so stunned by this product. Actually, it made me think of the thesis I wrote when I graduated a couple of years ago, it was about the damage you got when your luggage is gone lost. Maybe, I should have know this tag, such a genial and cool idea. My fear is always that when I travel. You look also very pretty, such a smart traveler!:) Have a wonderfu weekend, kisses! xo
ReplyDeleteFab review!
ReplyDeleteI totally need one!
xoxox,

This tag sounds great, Madison. I don't travel much, but I'm really digging the concept. They should have tags like this for stuff like car keys too:D
ReplyDeleteWow Madison that's an amazing devise. I haven't heard of this before! It's not just handy it looks great too. Have a happy Friday!!

ReplyDeleteOMgosh, this is absolute genius! I looove the concept but I'm not quite sure about the shape of the tag, if they could tweak that I'd be really keen!
ReplyDeleteTara x
This is one of the most creative/brilliant things I have ever heard about - I want one!!

Thanks! Yes, it's a genius idea. I think if they had two different sizes it would be great, with one smaller version as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Jo! Have a great weekend. x

ReplyDeleteIf you travel often I think it's excellent. The metallic silver is gorgeous too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thanks for your comment Natalia. xx
ReplyDeleteGood thesis topic. Yes, it's prefect for frequent travellers or in general as well. Thanks so much Lilli for your great comment. xx
ReplyDeleteYes, that's probably a good idea! :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of it before. Very useful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in my giveaway! Under your comment could you please leave the link of the product you like because this is what the company has asked? Good luck!!!
Liebe Madison, ich muss sagen, das sind sehr schöne Produkte! Und ich finde die Idee mit der App wirklich genial, denn wie Du sehr richtig schreibst sehen die Koffer und Taschen sehr oft so gleich aus, dass immer die Gefahr besteht, sich das falsche Gepäckstück zu schnappen. Wir haben deswegen auf unsere Koffer Aufkleber von Fußball-Vereinen geklebt, das sieht zwar nicht gut aus, aber so sehen wir unsere Koffer sofort :) Aber das was Du hier vorstellst ist eine gute Alternative! Danke <3 Und Du siehst toll aus in Deinem gestreiften Shirt!

This is a great idea. I've had luggage lost before (though both times, they just never made it on the correct plane) and luckily got them back the next day but this would save a lot of hassle and anxiously waiting for the bag to appear on the carousel!
ReplyDeletewww.diamondcanopy.com
I like this pretty lilac shade of your dress. so lovely for spring. and I also like those little detail snapshots you posted. nice fabrics and patters! good luck with all the stuff you're working on, Madison!

ReplyDeleteAha! Great gadget. I have thankfully not lost my luggage ever, but this would come very handy. Thanks for this post! Have a lovely week Madison x
ReplyDeleteWhat a convenient tool! I don't travel really at all, the last time was almost six years ago for our honeymoon, but this would've been great to have! I'd lose my mind if my bag was lost!
