    The Best White Lace Tops & Blouses Of The Moment

    The Best White Lace Tops & Blouses Of The Moment

    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 …

    Can a Redhead Wear Red?

    Can a Redhead Wear Red?

    dress: H&M | shoes: Aldo | bag: Tommy Hilfiger (c/o SKM) Can redheads wear red? I have yet to meet the first redhead who hasn’t asked herself that question. It’s an old rule in fashion that redheads should avoid wearing the so called sunset colors and red is one of those. Well, I couldn’t disagree more! I can’t imagine my wardrobe without red. The key is to find the right red tones for your ginger hair, skin tone and eye …

    Meet ARKET, H&M’s Newest Brand

    Meet ARKET, H&M’s Newest Brand

    After H&M, COS, Weekday, Monki and & Other Stories the H&M group has launched a new brand and it is screaming my name. Described as a modern-day market, ARKET sells products for women, men, children and the home in minimalist-looking stores. The stores each have a Pinterest-worthy looking cafe to take a break from shopping and enjoy a good espresso. ARKET can’t be compared to our standard H&M. I feel like the designs are much more intricate and …

    Must-have Transition Pieces For Fall

    Must-have Transition Pieces For Fall

    dress: J.Crew | jean jacket: H&M | shoulder bag: Sacha (c/o) | shoes: Bensimon This weekend I found out that Starbucks has brought back their autumn flavors and to me that means fall has officially started! I’ve brought back my favorite plaid shirts, folded my sweaters and dusted off my ankle booties, but before I start sharing my favorite fall looks I wanted to write a post about transitioning my wardrobe. I’m not fully ready to give up on my Summer clothes …

    How To Wear White Jeans

    How To Wear White Jeans

    top: & Other Stories | white jeans: Lee Jeans | bag: Tommy Hilfiger (c/o SKM) | shoes: Aldo We’ve made it to the very last summer outfit of 2017. The. Very. Last. One. It’s a popular line on blogs these days, but seriously, how did summer go by so fast!? It feels as if time passes by faster and faster as I get older. I still have so many items on my summer to-do list, but the pop-up bars are closing and the days are…

    The Flutter Sleeve Dress Of My Dreams

    dress: J.Crew | bag: Tommy Hilfiger (c/o SKM) | sandals: Aldo | earrings: Twice As Nice “No white after Labor Day” is one of my favorite fashion rules to break. If September is still nice and gentle, than why not continue to wear light and white clothes while we still can? We were blessed with a few beautiful Indian Summer days last week and I took full advantage of the warm temperatures to wear all my favorite summer dresses one more time before. This pretty…

    Basket Case

    dress: J.Crew | bag: Dille & Kamille | sandals: Teva The basket bag trend. My gosh, did I think I was never ever ever going to carry one of those impractical straw things on my arm. But here I am, carrying one of those impractical straw things on my arm. And loving it to boot! Just like I have a favorite store for clothes (J.Crew alllll the way), I also have a favorite store for house-bits-i-don’t-really-need, Dille & Kamille. Everything they sell is well-made, …

    My Cup Of Tea

    My Cup Of Tea

    blouse: Whistles | trousers: J.Crew | bag: Kate Spade | loafers: Sacha (c/o) | Coffee: Vanilla latte …Not that I ever drink tea. I’m a coffee girl by heart. Always have been, too. There’s an infamous family story about six-year-old me at a cafe with my mom and grandmother and it involves coffee. Most of my childhood memories involve coffee in some way. When I was young we’d visit my grandmother every Sunday for lunch and share coffee and cookies afterwards. We’d do …
