(Almost) Spring dressing & thoughts on Self-Care
Trying to dress for this in-between season can never end well – one minute you’re out with sunglasses on and the next it’s raining and the temperature is down by 5 degrees. Well, that’s global warming for you and should have been expecting that when less than a month ago we still had snow here […]
Mini eurotrip
After a quick stopover in Paris (post here) we made our way through Switzerland and stopped in Geneva for a night and half a day. Now, I do have to admit that I wasn’t particularly excited with what we saw, there was a nice river (the Rhône) and I have to say we didn’t even make […]
White summer
White is such a refreshing and gorgeous colour (or rather ‘non-colour’). Wearing it as a total look or having it in the details gives the outfit a nice and necessary lightness. I am too, guilty of wearing (and owning) too many black items, but changing it up is a great way to experiment. There’s no one […]

You can see the photo diary from that trip here after you check out my outfit of […]
Style Challenge: skirts – part 2

Eugenie – by Liz Wilson
An eclectic mix that seems to be inspired by geometry, androgynous forms, as well as delicate prints and dreamy pastel/neutral pallets, that bring to mind Stella McCartney, Balmain and Céline. These were my first thoughts when I came across Eugénie, the New Zealand brand yet to be released by Liz Wilson. Liz Wilson was design assistant to Karen […]
Trend Analysis: Leather
1)A material consisting of the skin of an animal, made smooth and flexible by tanning and removing the hair. 2)Leather clothes, especially as worn by motorcyclists. Leather clothing makes most of us, if not all, think of rock n’roll. Chains, holes, studs and zips are some of the many ways of transforming a look into […]
