TagWinter Whites To Wear Now*
For me, January is the hardest month to dress for. It’s cold, which is an issue in itself, there is nothing in the shops and all the winter clothes I own seem to automatically lose all their appeal the very moment the New Year starts. I don’t want cosy knits..
5 Office Outfits
Last week, The Guardian’s Jess Cartner-Morley wrote a pertinent column about modern power dressing. She made a point about the sheath dress being over and I’m afraid she’s right. Obviously, you can still wear a sheath dress. You are a grown-up woman and can ..
It Was All Yellow
I wasn’t planning to write this post at all. Not that all of my posts are carefully planned, but I do have a general list of topics in my head (and on my iPad) that I keep updating and developing. Sometimes, however, I have an idea in the morning and a blogp..
What The F*** Should I Do With A Bodysuit: Part 2*
So, here we are again, back to the bodysuit. I shared most of my general musings on this item of clothing already last time, when introducing my world-changing bodysuit series. This means I don’t really have much to say this time around, except to briefly ex..
Tipping The Velvet
It feels a bit strange to write about velvet in beach weather, but by the time it would be more appropriate, I fear my enthusiasm might already be gone. At the moment, my love for this plush fabric is still fresh and all-conquering – always the best state of..

A Skirt of Gold
One of the first posts I did for the blog – more than a year ago now – was on brocade skirts. I still stand by every word I wrote, but brocade is obviously not the only way to do statement skirts. If you’re looking for a trendier version of the same idea, lo..
The Body Part of the Season: Shoulders
This is obviously no news, as shoulders were already THE body part of the previous season and possibly the one before that. So I feel slightly silly to bring this up at all. But I have my reasons. First of all I really like this trend. Come to think of it, t..
Things I Want to Wear: Zara Girl
It’s spring in Brussels at last, or one could even say that we have by-passed spring for the moment and gone straight for summer. It really is exceptionally warm and lovely after months of horribleness. This will of course pass quickly, so I wanted to take a..
Pastels, Again
I would never describe myself as a pastel person, but the evidence says otherwise: I’ve just searched the blog and in less than a year, I’ve written posts on pink, lilac and light blue. Similarly, there is no denying the fact that I’ve merrily worn pastels f..
