An exciting few days lie ahead of us… Today I’m flying to Paris, where I will spend the day before I fly to Rome and attend the Valentino #MirabiliaRomae Haute Couture show on July 9th. As you can imagine, I’m over the moon, and I can’t wait to share this whole adventure with you. But before I can actually get on that plane, I need to pack…
The other day someone commented on my Instagram that she – or actually she was speaking in the “we” – was missing my personal stories. I read it and felt sad. I couldn’t agree more… Trust me, it’s not that I’m purposely turning my personal (life) style and fashion blog into something shallow, but I think I’ve hit some sort of “writers-block”.
I have a confession: I almost never iron. Fact is, I HATE ironing. So over the years I’ve developed a technique of hanging my washed clothes in such a “perfect” way that I don’t have to iron them once they are dry. I’ve lived to perfectioning this technique, and I’m confident to say, I’ve succeeded. Almost…

Then, obviously, only sandals or simple white kicks allowed, and a few cute accessories, and ready to go boating, beaching, or just brunching “all day”.
Throwing in the ultimate soft palette of baby blue, off-white, and cognac, while exploring the my softer side… This is one of those cases where an amazing opportunities arises, and you’re immediately thrown into the deep. I’ve been looking at this dress, hanging beautifully on the clothing rack next to my bed, for about a week. I couldn’t figure out how to make it “me”. I struggled with the length, and then my length, because this is a tricky one being not really mini – or at least not for me – nor midi. I was afraid I would drown in it and not being able to pull it off staying close to myself, yet, I was in love with it…
