It’s always the same thing with Chanel Ready-to-wear pieces; when I see them on the model I LOVE them, when I see them on the hanger I’m not sure if I can pull it off, but as soon as I put it on… It feels like it was made for me. I know, sounds so dramatic, but it’s true. The fit is always perfect, and I’m literally never not liking the fabrics, colors or patterns. Of course, not ALL pieces from every collection are my thing. I’m not the person to obsess over a label, just because of the label. It’s truly the quality I can appreciate, but moreover, as classic and vintage Chanel might sounds, it ALWAYS works with a pair of jeans. What else could a girl wish for…
Winter is here, there’s no denying anymore… First snow fell, and our snow boots are on stand-by, because in New York winters, you never know when the next snow-storm hits… I personally love this time of year, but I also feel that it’s harder to get dressed. I mean, not really as it’s all about jeans and knits, but more in the sense that it feels all a little less exciting. So I looked, and found, the key in keeping up your game when dressing on cold winter days!
The Holidays are almost here, and just when you think your mood can’t get any more festive… We are launching our first EVER Holiday Giveaway week! 7 Days of Giveaways, featuring my absolute favorite “things” from 2017 – and I happen to know YOU love these “things” very much too! Want to know how to enter… Read more!
I love Balenciaga A LOT lately, but going all out in one brand is not my thing, so I tried to recreate my favorite Fall look… One of the best things Balenciage EVER did – in my opinion – is bringing these sock boots to the market. Not anything new, they’ve been around, but these have just the right amount of edge to be up my street! I’ve been wearing them a lot, and they are in fact quite comfortable. You don’t believe me? Of course, they’re “high”, and in more than one way (you really don’t have to wear tights when you wear these) but when a shoe has a certain level of quality, they usually come with a great deal comfort. Though, I’m not wearing them when I know I’m going to have to walk a lot. It’s for the slower days, taxi in, taxi out, meeting here, meeting there. ANYWAY, I recreated this Balanciaga-inspired look with a few of my favorite new winter pieces. Want to know which ones? Read more…
And so the story begins… Summer 2016, in Toronto, getting accustomed to our new “temporary” home-town, but longing back to our New York days. An email reaches me, from the one brand – I always told myself – I would want to work with, with James and Stella: Bonpoint. A little dream that came true, one that I never really talked about with anyone, because I prefer to stay away from the term mommy-blogger, which for many automatically occurs when you work with your kids. Nothing negative about it, though, but it’s just not where my ambitions lie. Nor do I want to expose my kids to the industry too much, yet. But here we are, three seasons down the road, three shows further, of which James and Stella walked one, and I feel much more comfortable with them being involved “in my work” once in a while. It’s more the negativity in general, around sharing your kids on social media, that worried me in the past, I think. I now know, that it all comes down to the way you do this. To me, the most important thing in doing this; it has to stay far away from being “commercial” looking, I try to keep it highly tasteful, and as I like to think “real” and artistic in the way I capture them and share this. Hence, 3 campaign shoots – in winter and summer – later, in urban vibes or countryside, from New York, to Paris, and Toronto; it’s time for Bonpoint Fall 2017! It’s time to get ready for the next show…
