Of course with the current heatwave it is much too early to think about an autumn wardrobe update – however, with the new collections arriving in the stores I cannot avoid a side glance at what is to come. And I think there are some new staples my wardrobe is in need of: a pair … Read More
Love: Vanities bracelets
Have you heard of the brand Vanities? Thomas Franc and Vincent Ribat founded it in 2009 and their bracelets, hand-carved bone skulls on fabric strips, made the brand rapidly popular in the fashion world. Colette sometimes has them in stock (currently there are some on sale). As you might know I love skull bracelets … Read More
The shirtdress
I love it when a shirt is big enough so you can wear it tucked into your jeans but also over a skirt so it kind of looks like a dress – like this Comme des Garcons Men’s shirt that I found in a vintage shop. (Sorry, for the bad photo quality, it’s a phone … Read More

Here are some more photos from my trip around Thailand. I already miss my daily fresh fruit smoothies and fresh coconut. (I think I will have to get a blender so I can make my own smoothies for breakfast – especially a blend of pineapple, lemon and ginger! Mmhh!) Other essentials included banana or mango … Read More
Travel notes: Thailand – part 1
I don’t know where to start … We had a great time in Thailand. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have seen what I’ve been up to. We travelled from Bangkok to the north around Chiang Mai and then to the islands in the south for some well-deserved beach time and sunbathing. It was … Read More
