Weekend

Weekend again - after what felt like a really long week! I'm feeling a little under the weather so I'll be spending my Saturday and Sunday mostly relaxing at home, catching up on all the news from #LFW and looking forward to the BAFTAs on Sunday night. BBC 1, 22:00 (GMT+1) - FYI.

Winter basics

(COS coat, Citizens of Humanity jeans, Scapa boots, Céline bag, Johnstons scarf and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

A very basic and random workday outfit consisting of that chic light grey coat I love so much, a cashmere Boden sweater, skinny jeans (never my first pick..) and my classic black leather ankle boots.

Have you been keeping up with the Fall 2014 collections from NYFW this week? Well, I have and there are some collections that got me pretty excited! I'll be sharing some of my favourite looks from different collections soon.

Blogging for Vogue

Exciting news! Vogue Netherlands has asked me to join The Vogue Blog Network, which is a brand new network that launched on their website this week. And well, come on, who would say 'no' to Vogue?! So from now on I will be blogging for them every wednesday. You can read their exclusive interview with me on vogue.nl sometime this week and my first post will be up tomorrow!

Waisted

(Topshop Boutique coat, Boden cashmere sweater and woolen trousers, Zara shoes, Céline bag and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Apparently I DO have a waist. Thought it would be nice to give my good old oversized Topshop Boutique blazer a fresh new twist by adding a leather waistbelt. This, of course, instantly made me feel a little more ladylike than usual and so I thought I'd take advantage of this crazy "warm" winter weather and complete the look with bare ankles and my favourite Zara heels.

Layers

(H&M Trend coat and pinstripe blazer, COS shirt, Zara jeans, Céline bag, COS beanie and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Wearing stripes over stripes and a blazer under my coat.. layers are álways a smart option in winter, although unfortunately I still can't say it's really needed over here as there's hardly a winter to speak of. I (stupidly) lost my gloves in Stockholm last week but I have not even missed them since seeing as it's nowhere near as icy cold here as it was up there. Anyway, loose fits are still the way to go for me - can't seem to get enough of the slouchy silhouette.
