C is for...Cardigans! {A-Z 2026 #3}

Cardigans! Loosely speaking in some cases. Because some of these are boleros, throws, and some other form of non-jacket tops. Also a word of warning about the quality of the pics: it is terrible. I'm really struggling to take good and clear pictures with my camera because I don't have a tripod and so I have to balance everything on a stack of stuff and that often leads to unfocused and wacky pics...sorry! But I am wearing the cardigans, so it's something. Also, yes, I still have a massive bite in the middle of my face... nature hates me!

Cropped Black Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Ici et maintenant

A very basic and thin cardigan but it's so sweet and cute because it's cropped. I like to only button the top button and let it hang like that. Great long sleeves. 

Navy Flowery Wrap Top

Origin - Second hand

Brand - H&M

God, old H&M was basic but really cute. And not made of paper. Simple little top to tie a look together. 

Regular Black Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

Very warm and wooly cardigan. A staple for all cardigan lovers. I love how high the neck on it is. 

Short Sleeve Black Bolero

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Massimo Dutti

It has only a clip at the very top, near the neck and this cute detailing around all the seams. I wear this one a lot as it feels nice even in hotter weather. 

Black Longsleeve Bolero

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Gemo

This is basically just a pair of sleeves but it really reminds me of something a ballerina would wear and I love it.

Bunny Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Spot

I love this little bunny pattern. Takes me way back. And a nice addition as almost all my cardigans are just solid colour.

Brown Cropped Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - mais il est ou le soleil?

It's so earthy and soft, I love this cardigan so much. And it's got a little off-the-shoulder action going which I really like.

Brown Shear Cardigan

Origin - Bought new

Brand - H&M

A nice little party number and it really makes me feel like a fairy. Picked it up during a sale at H&M a few years ago.

White Cropped Cardigan

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Mellem

Light and simple, great for the summer and with bright outfits. It is quite worn and stretched but it's also for more practical moments so I'll forgive the previous owners. 

Glittery Purple Cardigan

Origin - Hand-me-down

Brand - mais il est ou le soleil?

I know the pic is kind of terrible but isn't it also kind of whimsical? I don't wear this one often but when I do it makes me feel like a princess or something.

Bright Blue Wrap Top

Origin - Gifted

Brand - Kokomarina

This is actually made by my auntie. She has a Chinese-inspired fashion store and she gave me this for my birthday a few years back.

Maroon Cardigan

Origin - Hand-me-down

Brand - Bensimon

I got this with the glittery purple top and a bunch of other stuff from Monique's friend a few years ago. Most of the stuff was almost never worn so lucky me! I was also drawn to maroon more during the time so I wore this top a lot of the beach and the pool.

B is for...Bags! {A-Z 2026 #2}

For the longest time I was not a hand-bag girl, I wasn't even really a messenger bag girl. Well, sometimes. But I preferred backpacks for most things in life. But suddenly I've come to really love them. Even though my current daily bag is still a messenger bag, I usually switch to a spacious hand bag in the summer. Most of my bags are second hand, I actually really prefer second-hand bags to new ones. Really high quality ones are usually very expensive, and everything within my price range is either poorly made or kinda ugly. I just really love older styles of bags. And so, here is my current collection...

Oxbow Messenger Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Oxbow

My obsession is all things from surf brand. Oxbow is a French surf wear company and though I don't love their new stuff I have a few things that I thrifted that I love. This is my main bag and has been for a few years now. It's so cool and practical. I put a few keychains on it that I've picked up over the years.

Polka Dot Hand Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

A very cute polka dot bag that I picked up last year. I was thinking to change the straps/handles but now they've kind of grown on me. I usually wear this bag to events where I don't need much stuff with me but I've also taken it to class a few times. It is possible to shove a bunch of shit in there.

Rip Curl Hand Bag

 

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Rip Curl

An insanely lucky find at a flea market last year. It was like 3 or 5 euros or something. It is so huge inside and so cute. I love Rip Curl stuff from the 2000s so much. I'm excited to pull it back out come summer.

Camo Tote

Origin - Bought new

Brand - Unknown

My mum got this one for me at the outlet sale. A good tote, works like a tote but is cool and camouflaged. I usually carry documents in it.

Pink Interior Messenger Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

A pretty simple messenger bag but it has a cute hot pink textile on the inside. My practical bag that has seen some shit. I use a broken bracelet I found at a thrift store as a charm.

Faux Leather Hand Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

A pretty small fake leather hand bag. My only issue with it is that it's weirdly bent and shaped but it still works and looks cute with a bunch of keychains I threw on it so I like it a lot. I usually take it to parties when I dress more glam.

Green Flower Hand Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Unknown

Another lucky find at a thrift store, it's pretty small and also quite worn but I really love the colour, shape, and the flower detail it has. It's just so dainty!

Blue String Bag

Origin - Bought new

Brand - Unknown

Slavic household classic, but in blue! Small shit just falls out of it so it's mostly for beach stuff or the fruit/veg market.

Lafuma Sports Bag

Origin - Second hand

Brand - Lafuma

Just a big and spacious sports bag in case of traveling. I really liked the colours and that it's quite square when fully packed. Practical.
