Slowly, I’m getting accustomed to the idea that yet another year is coming to an end, and we’re spending another Christmas and New Year’s Eve far away from many of our close friends and family. Generally I’m not too sentimental about it – I mean, life goes on – but as mentioned in an earlier article on Thefashionguitar.com, scents/fragrances tend to bring back memories… They can take me back in time… So in the spirit of the holidays, and since we are talking fragrance today, here’s a little breakdown of a few favorite things I like to do in the days leading up to the holidays! Just because it smells so good…
I’m not going to lie; when sale starts in New York City, I’m in for the win (!!) Sale here kicks-off bad ass straight away. Not a European – or Dutch – 30% in the first few weeks, no, we just start with 50% discount on so much of the “good stuff”. Again, not the pieces that have been there forever, no, all the pieces you’ve been eyeing ALL SUMMER. Available… Check out the list of “5 THINGS YOU NEED TO BUY THIS SALE” and you know exactly what I’m talking about…
I’m going to let you in on a little secret… A store I’ve been shopping since the start of my blog… An online boutique that has been my go-to since the moment it launched.

While I’m struggling to decide which bikini to wear today, the weather in New York is everything but warm. Humid mornings made way for those perfect crisp Fall ones – which are my favorite by the way – and with that, my wardrobe is slowly transitioning in preparation for Winter. I think Fall in New York is my favorite time of year when it comes to the way I dress; it’s still pleasant enough to go out without a coat – as long as you wear a good knit – yet, a good game of layering has to be in place to not catch a horrible cold along the way… And so I came to this look, which is part of my collaboration with the ERDEM x H&M collection (shop it all here), that is FINALLY launching today!
With the amount of traveling I’ve been doing lately, there’s nothing I love more than spending time at home, with James, Stella, and Thomas. Life is busy enough as it is, so there’s really no point in making it more busy, right? Yet, I owe it to my kids, my husband, and my friends to not completely turn my back to the world when I’m back home, mastering the art of cocooning…
