Look book; Essentiel

Hi readers, Last time I was in Brussels I discovered a Belgian designer and I love his collections! My last outfit post I was wearing a skirt of his (here). Now I just wanted to share his latest look book (fall/winter 2011). I love all the color combinations and design of clothing, it's feminine yet powerful. At the moment his brand Essentiel is only available in a few EU cities, but if you happen to be there, his store is worth visiting.

Outfit Post; Drapey Skirt

Hi lovely readers, I got this skirt on my last trip to Brussels. It's from a Designer from Antwerp. I thought the colors and the way it drapes is awesome! Lately it has been very windy here in Amsterdam. I believe the summer is pretty much over unfortunately. But Fortunately we have the nice autumn colors to look out to. The other day I saw the first brown leaves on the floor. Besides the wind and rain, I actually like autumn. I remember the first year I moved to Amsterdam, the first brown leave that flew right into me, I remember where I was walking and how I though how awesome it was. (growing up on a small island in the Caribbean, I had no idea about seasons changing). Wish everybody can see the best of autumn and keep on smiling trough wind and rain! :) XO

Outfit Inspiration; Autumn color pallet

Slowly but surely I have been drawn to autumn-y colors more and more. My color pallet will look a little like this. Colors like; Rust, Burgundy and mustard yellow, combined with camel, cobalt blue and neutral tribal inspired pieces. Shoes should be a bit chunky. Chunky heeled booties, platform sandals and wedges worn solo or with (wool/nylon) socks. Hope I could inspire you :) XO
