While I’m writing this post – the night before I leave for Paris – I’m trying to work my way through the looks from New York Fashion Week, which I, somehow, still didn’t manage to get online. Such a waste of beauty – and then I’m not talking about myself of course, but all the cool pieces I got to wear during this week. One of my favorite looks was the one in which I got to wear the new Chloe Jane wrist bag. A fashion week favorite, and a real Chloe Girl signature piece for Spring/Summer 16!
After spending the most amazing weekend in the mountains for our 12 yearish anniversary it’s time to get back behind my laptop, and start the week… I’ve had easier Mondays… Somehow this one is going very very slow. All the things I planned to do this morning, I didn’t do so far, and this makes me quite behind on my schedule in preparation for Paris Fashion Week! But, somehow – and this is a new thing – I’m not feeling too stressed about it. Probably because I’ve sorted out most of my looks last week, scheduled my fittings upon arrival, and arranged a few of my favorite pieces to be delivered to Paris. Outfit-wise not everything is set in stone, but with my strategy of bringing key-pieces and looks, with the option of buying some basics when I get to Paris, I’m sure I will be fine. The only challenge now is to get everything in my two suitcases… for 8 days in Paris… But before I can get to that, I have to unpack my weekend suitcase… Which is one of the things I dislike the most!
Earlier this week I talked about transitional coats, wardrobe staples, and personal favorites. I showed you my favorite military-coat, and went on and on about why this is one of the pieces you should invest in. But when talking about wardrobe-investments, I realized there was another coat that should be on this list too: My Acne shearling coat.
Here you are, barely recovered from the extreme temperatures below zero, and already walking out of the door with that Spring-state-of-mind. Of course it’s not really Spring, yet, but at least the past few days it started to feel like it. And with that Spring-felling in my head, I decided it was time to rethink my wardrobe. Completely. I haven’t got rid of my big puffer coats just yet, and also my thick knits didn’t make their way out, but I slowly started to make space for my favorite transitional pieces: Spring coats.
On the second day of NYFW I went to one of my favorite appointments: My fitting at Chloe. Their team in New York is amazing, always so welcoming and full of ideas and enthusiasm. They really know how to make me feel part of the family. This time though, they had and even bigger surprise for me. I knew we were going to shoot their new bag – the mini Jane – during NYFW, but what I didn’t know is that they wanted me to be part of their Valentine’s campaign. Now for someone like me, who has mentioned over and over again not being the biggest Valentine’s day fan – I simply don’t like how insanely commercialized this day has become – a collaboration around this day has to be real special… Well, needless to say, it was… I received my horoscope written by Susan Miller, alongside a beautiful necklace representing my zodiac sign. Intrigued? Read about what my zodiac is and represents, and what it did for me reading it…
