Workwear Wednesday: The Strange Allure of Mustard vol 1
It feels ridiculous to post any clothes at the moment that go beyond bikinis, as Brussels is taking this heatwave business rather seriously. However, I realise that it’s not necessarily as warm everywhere and even if it is, at some point we’ll be back to nor..
Casual Friday: Sporty Trousers
This shoot didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted. Don’t get me wrong, I think it looks lovely (thanks to great work by Laura Nestor), but due to a couple of coincidences, the look is sportier than originally intended. That in itself would not be a problem e..
April Memo: Tulips, Hugos and Elevator Music
I don’t know about other parts of the world, but spring seems to have truly arrived in Brussels. 25 degrees today! No wonder it’s a spring-inspired memo, then.
1. Spring flowers. One day, I need to tackle my love for cut flowers – all these roses* coming..
Workwear Wednesday*: Trouser Edition vol 1
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably think I don’t wear trousers very often. This is manifestly not true, I wear them possibly 50% of the time, at least in winter. It’s just that outfits featuring trousers generally seem less exciting t..
Workwear Wednesday: Blue Dress, Yellow Scarf
Yes, I’m very much aware that today is not Wednesday. Unfortunately I could not yet publish this post last week and if I wait two more days, spring may have arrived everywhere and that humongous scarf will look awfully our of place. Brussels has already move..
Workwear Wednesday: Lots of Red and a Coat of Clouds
This look does not come as a surprise to the diligent readers of the blog, I showed the red shirt, red skirt and red shoes combination a while back in my Sezane post. The novelty is demonstrating how to wear all this when it’s really cold, with a sweater, co..
Workwear Wednesday: Fresh & Sharp
Office wear posts are among my favourites: I like the genre and many of you seem to find my ideas genuinely useful. So I will attempt to do these looks on a regular basis, now that my work life will hopefully be a bit more… regular. I’ll return to my old p..
Happy New Year from Sydney!
I’m starting 2018 in Australia, having brunch at the Sydney Tower after watching the amazing fireworks over the harbour last night. The place is symbolic, as Aussies are internationally known for their relaxed vibe and this is exactly what I need the coming ..
The Blue Dress: Reflections on Shape and Silhouette
In September, I wrote about wearing colour and shared pictures of my pink Lilli Jahilo dress. However, I never got around to posting about the other dress from her Art collection that I own, as the office wear series took a while to get through. But I’m not ..
Autumn Office Outfits vol 5: Red
If you have recently opened a women’s magazine or a style blog or just your eyes, really, you already know that red is a major trend this autumn/winter. In its purest form, it’s often called „red to toe“ and I have to admit this phrase annoys me – possibly b..
