I’m on a “no shopping” diet – with Mexico ahead of me and a big investment behind me, I do not allow myself to go anywhere near a shopping street. There’s just one little problem, obviously … the internet. Here, the rule is: looking but no buying. So when I surfed around some of my … Read More
Vintage shopping: Vestiaire Collective
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I am a huge fan of online vintage shopping. While I often feel overwhelmed and/or disorientated in actual vintage stores, the online version is just my thing. You can take all the time you need to rummage through the stock, put items on your … Read More
The new denim
Once again, denim plays a central role in the new season’s fashion. We saw indigo coloured denim head-to-toe on the catwalks, witnessed the high-waist flared jeans’ return from the Seventies and we embraced a new kind of jeans: the new boyfriend jeans. Contrary to the very baggy, unflattering “boyfriend jeans” we saw everywhere a few … Read More
Net-a-Porter SALE: My picks
Interrupt your digital detox for a minute. Stop the Christmas tree decorating, baking, and gift wrapping. The Net-a-Porter SALE is on! Now it’s either hurry up or ignore it. I, for my part, have already quickly placed an order (I couldn’t help it when I saw the 50% discount) and I just had to share … Read More

October wishlist
With this post I confirm what I said about the renaissance of my teenage wardrobe. Yes, the plaid skirt, too, is back. However, today I’d like to wear it as a longer, more feminine, less school girl skirt. And definitely I need a pair of heavy, boyish loafers to go with it. From top to … Read More
New season favourites
If you’ve seen my September wishlist you will know that I am very much in love with black and grey basics (yet again). So it’s no surprise that the items I added to my wardrobe this season make a perfect monochrome ensemble. These are my current favourites (preferably worn with skinny black leather trousers): oversized … Read More
Girls who are boys (shoewise)
This season we can steal our footwear from the boys. I feel most happy and confident in my black ankle boots anyway (in the many different types that I own – Acne Donna, Chloé Susanna, Acne Pistol, Topshop Arson, … I’m looking at you!) … but I also believe that everybody should own a pair … Read More
September wishlist
It’s a bit paradoxical that September will be my holiday month (sunshine, beaches and Italian food are near!), so while I will finally get to wear all those hot-weather-holiday-pieces (hello, kaftan and Greek sandals!), all I am wishing for at the moment is knitwear and leather trousers. But I guess I will get in the … Read More
