Skirt

(Zara sweater and skirt, Joseph shoes, Céline bag, Michael Kors watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Kind of ridiculous that I get to have my outfit pictures snapped outside in January without even having my coat on. I'm that one (??) person desperately longing for some proper cold and snow, so if Holland does suddenly turn into Winter Wonderland soon you can thank me for all my hard wishing. As for the outfit - the idea of adding the oversized sweater to this look was to not seem too "dressy" in this skirt..

Velvet

(H&M Trend jacket, Zara top, vintage velvet trousers, Céline bag, Johnstons scarf and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Taking the "pyjama trend" to a whole new level with this cosy pair of burgundy velvet trousers. And I don't really care that they're probably more suitable for the Holiday season instead of January because I'm having a hard enough time as it is, leaving December behind! Also, I wish I could say that I've started the year with a fresh new hairdo but unfortunately I simply can't find the time to go and have a haircut so (obviously) lazy ponytails and messy buns will have to do for a little while longer. Not that anyone has come to expect anything else from me, I'm sure!

New year

Happy 2014 everyone! After spending an absolute fantastic New Year's Eve in London I flew back early yesterday morning and even today I'm not quite ready yet to go back into my normal routine. Leaving the sparkly December days behind and start a whole new year I always find a little daunting. BUT at the same time I'm excited at the prospect of new projects and opportunities.

So anyway! To start the year on a bit of a light note here are some random things I can recommend you to check out: 1 Me in net-a-porter.com's The Edit magazine (!) (here) 2 London Fireworks 2014 (here) 3 Cate Blanchett on the cover of Vogue US January 2014 (here) 4 Être et Avoir (2002) (trailer here5 'When Did the Period Get so Angry?' by Leandra Medine (here) 6 Kate Moss' first ever shoot (here) 7 David Gray 'A New Day At Midnight' (here) and lyrics (here) 8 1D: This is US (2013) (trailer here) 9 Nicole, Stockholm by Garance Doré (here) 10 London Eye Panorama by Kiwi Bird Productions (here)

I plan on starting it with a bit of a bang anyway - on my way to London again as we speak - so bye bye 2013!

Final sprint

(H&M Trend coat, Massimo Dutti jeans, New Balance sneakers, Céline bag, Johnstons scarf and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Final sprint - of the year, that is. I intend to sprint a whole lot more in the next one as sneakers continue to be my best friends. I have yet to find a new pair I love as much as I love these burgundy 410's, though. But a pair of white sneakers is next on my list!
