Intimates

Intimates are great summer staples; sheer, soft fabrics and pastel colored pieces with lacy details, like this top. Paired with soft, printed pants (that could pass for pj's). 

An outfit like this is perfect for a breezy summer day.

Mono-Tone Suit

It's a fun way to play with color or color block while having your mono-tone suit as a basic. You may also find lots of printed suits which I am loving right now! Opt for a short version for a more playful feel to it and it is perfect for running around town.

Stripes & Florals

Finally got to wear a pair of shorts this weekend, besides the wind it was a gorgeous day. We spent the day roaming a flea market and having drinks at a place called "Pllek" and "Noorderlicht" These are two cool places on the other side of the water overlooking the city of Amsterdam. If you are in Amsterdam this summer, make sure to take a ay to relax at either one of these places!

Joggers & Peplums

One piece I recently discovered that I love to wear are these jogging pants. They are super comfortable and since you would usually wear them with running shoes and a sports bra, I though of giving them a chic look with a pair of heels and a feminine peplum.

No one said fashion can't be comfortable :)

Fashion Trend; Shark Infested Fashion

Sharks have been popping up on my fashion radar lately and I'm loving it! I love watching shark week on discovery, hearing about those shark attack survivor stories and who can't remember the movie jaws?? One thing you might not have known about me; I'm afraid of the ocean. There is something mysterious about it and you never know what could pop up from underneath you!

So I like to keep things where I can see them... Sharks belong on shirts!

Spring Trend; Middle Eastern Inspired

These items make me think of the alt of summer, maybe whilst vacationing in the middle east. exploring new territories. Or maybe just feel as if you are a worldly globe trotter in your own hometown.

Think mirrored details, tassels and pom-pons, interesting prints and woven fabrics. 

Get yourself one of these trending items to wear with a white tee and a pair of jeans and your ready to explore any part of town you haven't been in a while...

Let's go summer!

5 Trends for Spring I'm Lovin'

One again we get to release out inner cave woman (in a chic way). This time around, wear your colored animal print with metallics and luxe fabrics such as silks, suede and organic cotton. 

Hello 90's! The era of Nirvana is back and I'm loving it! Wear floral print mixed with plaid. A little baggy over sized sweater, lots of layering and round sunnies to top it off.

Who said Palm Springs is for elderly and retirement homes? Love the vibrant colors and prints. 

A little darker feel to the typical hippy boho, yet more chic. Think; Leathers, Lace and Fringe and complete the look with a bucket bag.

Remember Twiggy? Now think a modern her! bright colors, boxy cuts and a-line clothes.

Okay spring, we are ready for you! come out, come out wherever you are!
