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.
Kicking of Fashion Month in New York. That Fashion Week that’s always suddenly there, just when you think you can sit back a bit after the Holidays, lost those food feast kilo’s, finished “dry-month”, and start to smell Spring. It’s there! BAM! Never well enough prepared, always too cold, but one of the best Fashion Weeks if you ask me. It’s for those who really love what they do, because who in their right minds likes to voluntary run around in an urban tundra, spending more time outside than in – and I’m not even going to start about cab money spendings – when it’s minus 10… Weather forecast looks not too bad though, but surely it’s not going to be warm.
Time to breath… finally… Last week and this weekend were super hectic. First of all because of my super short trip to Paris for Spring Couture Week – if you haven’t read my Chanel-story, do it now? Followed by coming home, fulfilling my mommy-duties after having been away… I will probably never get rid of that guilty feeling whenever I leave them for a few days, will I? And then, after one “day off” on Saturday, Jeff and I were shooting again on Sunday, followed by Monday taken over by The Coveteur-team for two exciting collaborations! No time for Monday-blues, just keep on going and wear more baby blue, cause isn’t this just Spring-in-an-outfit!
Bags are one of my favorite things in the world – next to sleeping in, drinking coffee before everyone wakes up, taking a hot shower, kissing my husband, hugging my kids, and sipping on a cocktail with my feet in the sand… And those favorites I cherish, one by one, because they make life so much more amazing!
Again we have a case of “if it weren’t this cold, I would have worn this today” but fact is, no way I can wear this today… Simply because it is way too cold outside – and those boots will be destroyed within seconds in the smudgy snow outside too. Nonetheless a publish-worthy look, plus, not everyone is experiencing extreme cold temperatures right now, so to those who can actually wear a poncho and awesome boots, here’s some inspiration on how to do it!
