During my teens I used to own a denim mini skirt that I had made from an old pair of H&M jeans. I remember that I loved that skirt for years and I only sorted it out last year. Maybe I should have waited one more year and I’d still be wearing it (again) this … Read More
I am lucky enough to be invited to several weddings of wonderful friends and couples this summer. I absolutely love summer parties – and dressing up! – and I’m really excited to see how the different couples are going to celebrate their special day. Since some of the circles of friends overlap, I had to … Read More
Since I’m currently unable to shoot outfit photos (due to lack of time as well as photographers) I’ve put together a digital wishlist instead – and it actually mirrors my favourite look of the moment: a mini skirt made from vintage denim, simple tee and statement accessories. Outfit photos to follow soon! vintage denim skirt … Read More
In case you were wondering which block heel pumps I went for, voilà! They’re the black patent ones by Whistles. I love wearing them with a pair of distressed jeans to break the rather formal look of the shoes. But I can’t wait to wear them to a party, paired with a mini dress (maybe … Read More
Wow, I cannot believe that another month is coming to an end … And one of my favorites – if not number one – of the year. Since it’s my birthday at the beginning of June, this post will include one or two gifts (because, obviously, gifts from lovely people will always be favourite things). … Read More
Maxi dresses are my go-to outfit when it’s 30 degrees-plus in the city. You look put together and office-appropriate while the temperatures are bearable.

So amazing with distressed jeans and T-Shirts, so pretty with summer dresses! One night I fell in love with Aquazurra’s “Alexa” pumps and started … Read More
Some prints practically scream summer: Breton stripes are one of them, polka dots, too, and vichy plaids another – and my current favourite. Believe it or not, I currently have not a single piece with vichy plaids in my wardrobe, not one. That certainly has to change. (I have my eyes on a swimsuit by … Read More
I, personally, think blue denim looks best when it’s worn and washed out and a little torn and frayed. If you’re neither patient enough to wait until this happens naturally after a lot of wearing and washing nor particularly talented at denim-DIY to achieve this look, the vintage store will be the best place to … Read More
May has brought us some very hot days that truly felt like summer and I did my best to use them well. I went sailing with my family, ate a lot of ice cream, sat outside at night, drank rosé and had BBQs, I bought peonies and strawberries, grew herbs on our balcony, … it … Read More
