Top 5 fashion items worth investing in (Spring/Summer edition)

Hey guys,

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 🙂

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!
