Too cool for school

(COS t-shirt, Zara trousers, Tamara Mellon shoes, Céline bag, Triwa watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Ironically, ever since I finished school (obviously a lifetime ago!) I've absolutely loved that "back to school" feeling that always comes over me around this time of the year. September always seems to be a busy and eventful month. Lots of work mixed with gorgeous late summer weather, a hint of autumn already in the air, and the start of a new series of fashion weeks. I say 'bring it on'. It's kind of like going back to school, but really.. it's so much better.

End of the summer

(Massimo Dutti blazer, Zara dress, COS trousers, Birkenstock sandals, Triwa watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Started adding extra layers now that we're slowly moving on into the next season. Am now wearing this dress over a pair of trousers and I finish the look with a sweater or, in this case, a simple blazer.

Sunset

Spent my last evening on the seaside this summer dressed in my men's fit Adidas hoodie (via Mainline Menswear), my loose fit H&M trousers and my favourite Adidas 'Gazelle' sneakers. Sunsets are supposed to be watched in comfort, right?

Oh, and my brother has made this amazing (4K) Ultra HD timelapse video of skies, clouds and sunsets this week, check it out below, if you like!

Stormy vacation

(Monki denim shirtdress, COS trousers, Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, Topshop leather backpack and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Part of my summer vacation this year is spending some days at the seaside again. I have to say it hardly feels like summer anymore though, with its constant storms and chilly temperatures. I had no idea what to pack for this either and have ended up hanging around in my pjs and jogging pants for most of the time. These pics were shot in between two giant rain storms that almost had us blow into that lake there. I'm not complaining though - I'm not really a 'summer person' anyway - and the seaside is beautiful no matter the weather.
