outfits, trends to watch in fashion, wishlists, shopping tips & more.
Over the past year, there are definitely a few pieces that have turned out to be true favorites. Items that I love to wear over and over again, styled in different ways and suitable for plenty of different occasions. Today’s outfit for dinner by the beach in Mauritius basically combines 3 of those. I’ve been a fan of wide-legged pants for a few years now and the white palazzo pants were my No.1 must-have last Summer…
With -10°C last week and 17°C yesterday, it is becoming quite the challenge to dress the part. Currently, I am back to leather jackets and cardigans – in January! At least, the current weather has allowed me to go back to sneakers instead of boots and …
Fashion week can be a bit intimidating when it comes to packing and choosing the right outfits. The more I am becoming a part of the whole thing, the more I am starting to feel comfortable. I think it is safe to say that Fashion Weeks are definitely not about dressing up, but more about embracing your personal style.
Although I wouldn’t necessarily see myself as someone who wears a lot of pink, an occasional touch of pink certainly doesn’t hurt. Especially if it is muted and could just as well get by as a neutral. Take my Valentino lock bag, for example. It may not be everyone’s first choice of color, but I’ve found it to work with literally almost every single look I’ve worn throughout the past year…
…with my new bag from Monnier Freres ♥ If you’re on Instagram, chance are you’ve already spotted the newest addition to my bag collection. The Jimmy Choo Lockett petite bag in black with gold hardware. It was a Christmas present “to me, from me” and will probably be my favorite bag of 2016 – at least as far as the first month goes, who knows what the rest of the year has in store for my closet.
After an unexpectedly warm December, I literally forgot what Winter can be like. Temperatures below zero – what’s that? Well, today was a pretty good reminder. With -2°C plus windchill is freezing, trust me! In other words: I need to dress warmer.
First up for Maui: Getting leid upon arrival! I have to admit, I was pretty excited about this one. I think a lei made of pretty flowers is something that pops into most of our heads when we think of the Hawaiian islands. Just the thought of receiving such a beautiful gift made me happy, and sure enough we were greeted with a pink flower lei and a kukui nut lei (for Mike) as well as some ginger-mint lemonade at the hotel…
Admittedly, this is not the warmest look ever, but in my mind I was already laying out on the beach with 28°C and lots of palm trees, instead of the freezing temperatures in Downtown Vancouver!
Recently, I’ve noticed that my Neverfull hasn’t really worked with some of my oufits – I just felt like the monogram print was a bit too much. I’ve been searching for a sleeker alternative for a while, especially for the office and traveling. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the much coveted Mansur Gavriel black shopper tote (with the prettiest nude / blush lining) was back in stock at Farfetch just before Christmas. 3, 2, 1, miiiiine ♥
A new year always brings so much motivation, resolutions for the New Year and wonderful memories of a past year. No matter if you have a romantic date with a special kiss at midnight planned, a girl’s night with champagne and confetti or an elegant dinner party with friends – there are plenty of reasons to get dressed up, right? After all, we want to kick-off the New Year in style!
