Chillaxing

(Topshop shirt, H&M Trend culottes, H&M sandals, V&D visor and Karen Walker sunglasses)

I love that I'm in the luxurious position of being able to take some time off work every once in a while and just "chillax". I read magazines, drink Diet Coke with a straw and pretend to have absolutely nothing on my mind whatsoever. It's so good for the soul.

From Italy

(dress designed by me, Adidas slides, Céline bag, V&D visor and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

I just got back from a week of holiday in Italy and had an absolute great time. Before I show you some snaps I shot throughout my stay I thought I'd share one of my outfits that I wore on a day with temperatures around 35 degrees Celcius. These are temperatures way higher than what I'm used to and my wardrobe is not really prepared for days like that. However, a recent new design of mine, this navy cotton summer dress, appeared to be just perfect for this kind of hot summer weather. The wide fit I originally thought would be great to cover up my pizza-filled tummy, but, in addition to doing that, it turned out to be just perfectly breezy as well. The black visor btw is a favourite this summer, I've been wearing it almost non-stop.
