So these 5 things are the things I care about the most. Good accessories and outerwear can instantly make your wardrobe chic and classy.
1. Sneakers
Sneakers, sneakers… what would we do without you in our everyday life?! Being comfortable and fashionable – what else could we want? I like to rock mine as a fashion staple with every kind of outfit, they basically go with everything. And a good pair of sneakers can add a bit of glamour to your fitness and running routine. My favorites right now are obviously Nike and, to be honest, they are actually not that big of an investment. Also white classic Converse are the shoes that probably will never go out of fashion. But of course if you want a bit higher end, these Common Projects and Saint Laurent slip-ons are the coolest and i want them!

2. Backpack/Shoulder bag
Well girls, we all love our bags. Good bag is a good staple for your whole life. Backpacks are everywhere right now. Very handy, effortless, perfect for days when you need to bring a bit more things with you. I just saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack in a store in Helsinki and fell in love! If you are not really into this sporty chic style i would suggest you to invest in a timeless shoulder bag for your everyday use. There are so many amazing designer bags to choose from – expensive and.. expensive 🙂

3. Outerwear
Denim jacket, leather jacket, trench coat – all of these will be on trend forever. Spending money on it now can just make your life ahead easier.

4. Sunglasses
Everybody knows that 100% protection is extremely important for the sake of your eyes and of course – prevent the pre-aging wrinkles. And let’s be honest – cool sunglasses fresh up your outfit and make you look like a Hollywood star!

5. Watch
Nonetheless is the classic of the classics – the watch. Also a lifetime investment. You can never go wrong with buying one of these clean designed ones that i picked here.

I’ve found a fab vintage store that sells all sorts of fab trenches, long, knee length, various shades of brown: I’m going to get stuck in! They are just perfect chic update for spring, texture and colour wise!

They are definitely all must haves ! and I do have every one of them…except sneakers ! I’m really more of a heels type of girl, but if I want to be more comfortable I always wear flats !

I agree with all except the last one! I am so used to not having a watch and if I need to know the time I would look at my mobile. But that’s just me. I love the pastel coloured New Blanace trainers you show. This Summer I’m definitely buying a pair of Ray-Ban’s. I am now following you on bloglovin. I will leave my link in case you’d like to follow back.
