Couldn't sleep last night at the thought of making this new blog and slept at 5 am to prepare this new platform. I started blogging on Tumblr since I was 16, eager to share my personal life and fashion choices. Had a blog a long time ago but took it down, created Theunpetaledrose and started it over and over again, too many times actually, cause was never 100% satisfied with my posts, contents and picture quality. Also if acquaintances would react and comment regarding my written contents, I would immediately feel somewhat uncovered and feel fragile at the thought that, someone I actually know in person, could have had a peek at my sentiments.

Sharing what's going on in my heart and mind and quickly shutting the doors is not going to happen again. So I will try my best to challenge and push my self into creating something I'll be really proud and satisfied with. Hopefully you'll guys enjoy this new journey!

As I've done a quick personal intro, here are some of my favorite autumn and winter season trends. 

Oversized coats have been a must for me during these last couple of years. They do not only make you extremely warm, but they also make your basic outfit look like you put a lot of effort into than you actually have. Oversized coats are everywhere nowadays: you can step in a random clothing store and instantly find one. Even though these coats are easy to be found, I still look for certain characteristics. 

Last year my main focus on coats were big lapelles, one button closing and over the posteriour lenght. For the winter season of 2014 I still wanted a boxy fit coat but with few changes on the characteristics such us: over the knee lenght, a coat that would come down to the calves and one with warm, good quality fabric. A perfect example is the coat from COS, 117 cm long and 80% made of wool. The fabric was one of the main things I was really attentive of and this coat didn't dissapoint my expectations (it kept me warm on -2 degrees celsius). With the statement and the warmness of a good quality oversized coat, a basic simple outfit underneath is absolutely perfect. On a simple day out, there's no need to think too hard about what to wear: your favourite turtle neck, another must have for this winter, is right on point to keep you warm and looking fashionable; some leather pants to add edge and depth to the outfit and statement shoes and you're ready! Today I chose to wear my new Stan Smith's from Adidas with my big grey coat: white shoes that will brighten up my very grey outfit. White, clean sneakers are a YES, even more paired with masculine, office and dressy looks! (Click here to see how I style them)
