The Perfect Silk Blouse

The Perfect Silk Blouse

How are you guys doing? I’m in a particularly jolly mood today. This afternoon we had a snowball fight at work and warmed up with a cup of coffee afterwards. I’m currently sat down in my new Primark PJs watching snowmageddon grown in force outside. Primark Pjs are the best. So it watching the snow… from behind a window and next to the central heating. Also, K is cooking dinner downstairs so I don’t have to contribute to the house hold tonight. …

The Coziest Cardigan of All

The Coziest Cardigan of All

There are still a few items in my wardrobe that I bought last year and never got to write blog posts about. Winter is my least favorite season and not being able to shoot much for the blog is one of the reasons why. It’s dark when I leave for work in the morning and it’s dark when I return home. It always seems to rain on the weekends too, making it difficult to go out and shoot my favorite looks from the …

Travelling In Style

Travelling In Style

Things are finally winding down in this household. I’m back to work without the foresight of vacation and I haven’t started prepping for the Holidays just yet. With a laid-back week ahead of me I found some time to edit a few of the outfits we’ve shot this Fall and I want to kick the series off with this travel look! If there’s one rule in travel dressing it surely must be “comfort above all”! My travel outfits usually involve my …

Let’s Talk About My Blazer Obsession

Let’s Talk About My Blazer Obsession

Me and my blazers, it’s a never-ending love story. I have about ten. I think. Maybe more. And I wear them with love. This season I really wanted to join in on the Prince of Wales trend, but didn’t want to drop the cash for a large winter coat in the check print. I like the classic style, but I wasn’t sure if the trend was just another Instagram-one-day-wonder and would feel very “October 2017” soon. Instead I searched and found a jacket …

Shania Twain Would Be Proud

Shania Twain Would Be Proud

From a young age on I’ve loved crime series such as the overly suspenseful CSI Miami and the quintessential British show Midsomer Murders. On Netflix, I devoured the first two seasons of How To Get Away With Murder (which may or may not have had something to do with Jack Falahee) and watched pretty much all crime documentaries within a few weeks after signing up. I know, I’m weird. Since I’m still waiting for Netflix to release S3 of HTGAWM I was …

My Levis 501 Mom Jeans

My Levis 501 Mom Jeans

I never thought dressing like my mom in the eighties was going to feel this good. Dang it, these high-waisted straight-legged jeans are awesome. In the past year or so I really became a jeans wearer and I expanded my collection from one sad pair of blue jeans to about five. I love how much more wear I get out of my tops, blouses and sweaters now! Most of my jeans are a skinny fit and I have grown tired of wearing the same style&…

The Bernadette Cardigan

The Bernadette Cardigan

dress: Scapa | cardigan: Street One | shoes:Aldo | bag: Michael Kors Sutton I used to be obsessed with dresses. A few years ago, I had more dresses than there are days in a month and I was playing with the idea of doing a ’30 days of dresses’ kind of thing here on my blog. I never got my boyfriend so far to take outfit pictures every single day for 30 days and by now most of those dresses are gone too. However, I…

Shopping for White Lace Tops & Blouses

Shopping for White Lace Tops & Blouses

top: Vila | jeans: Mango | shoes: Aldo | bag: Hilfiger (c/o SKM) I have this thing with white lace, crochet and embroidery. Currently I have three white laces dresses and one white lace blouse hanging in my wardrobe and there’s a – hopefully – gorgeous crochet top on its way to my doorstep. It’s safe to say I have an addiction, haha. Finding that perfect lace design in a good quality fabric was not easy, though. I’ve been wanting and searching for pretty lace…

A Pop Of Pink

A Pop Of Pink

top: & Other Stories | jeans: Levis | sneakers: Vans Old Skool I love the shift in nature between summer and fall. That moment in time where the lush green leaves gently fade to yellow, the sunlight gets less bright and the air gets crispier. One of my favorite places to go at the end of summer is the heath, because while the flowers are withering and the greens go brown, the purple bushes on the heath go into full bloom. It’s a truly magnificent…

The Striped Skirt I Can’t Get Enough Of

The Striped Skirt I Can’t Get Enough Of

skirt: Comptoirs des Cotonniers | silk shirt: Comptoirs des Cotonniers | shoes: Aldo | bag: Michael Kors Okay, okay. One more slightly summer-y outfit, because I can’t seem to let go of my summer wardrobe entirely just yet. This skirt was one of my favorite buys this summer, but thanks to the Belgian weather I couldn’t wear it as much I wanted to. Mother Nature is currently blessing us with a gorgeous Indian summer (*knocks on wood*) and that gave me the opportunity to pull…

Say It With With A Slogan Tee

Say It With With A Slogan Tee

T-shirt: Brownie | jeans: Levis | shoes: Vans Hello, Baby! I admit I flash this T-shirt at my boyfriend sometimes, haha. Or at my friends. Oops. “Say it with a slogan tee” has been everyone’s motto the past few months or at least it seems so when I look at my Instagram feed. As always I’m a laggard. I love the idea of slogan tees, but never really felt like they fit with my everyday style. I’m Plain Jane when it comes to clothing …
