Four Ways to Lighten your Fashion Footprint
When buying a piece of jewelry, clothing, or handbag, investing in something well-made from quality raw materials means that the item in question should last longer than something constructed poorly from cheap materials. It may feel tempting to buy a piece of jewelry that is gold-plated or gold-filled (meaning a small percentage of gold is bonded to base metal), but it’s less likely to become a piece of jewelry that you will pass down to future generations, re-purpose, or resell at a good value. The same goes when it comes to buying a sweater, for example. Sure, the fast-fashion acrylic sweater might seem like a bargain, but will it still…
High Fashion: Hemp Textiles are Changing the Face of Fashion
Once, not long ago, the mention of “hemp T-shirts” would have evoked images of coarse smocks from patchouli-scented shops—and even elicited giggles from fashion folks. A lot can change in a short time. These days, you’d have to be living under a rock (in a state without legalization) to miss that cannabis is having a moment. And that’s cannabis in all its many forms. Everyone from young adults to octogenarians are giving it a try, ingesting THC gummies for sleep and tinctures for pain; slathering on CBD balms for sore muscles and face serums to promote healthy skin. It’s not surprising then that the apparel industry would be embracing it too.…
Bugs Be Gone
An insect-repellent scarf from Shoo for Good Whether you are spending time outdoors in your own backyard or venturing out on an African safari, when the bugs are biting, it’s good to have some extra protection. Enter insect-repellent clothing, designed to ward off ticks, mosquitoes and more. Originally developed for members of the military who suffer terribly in remote, insect-laden outposts around the world, clothing that’s infused with insect repellent is having its moment in the mainstream this summer. Outdoor clothing brands–and style mavens!–are ramping it up, with insect repellent bound into the fabric fibers of their designs, or the creation of clothing made from ultra-fine mesh that provides a…

I’M WEARING >> PANTS: ZARA (SIMILAR) | TEE: WEEKDAY MEN | SWEATSHIRT: IETS FRANS | SHOES: CONVERSE | BAG: COACH | COAT: VINTAGE | EARRINGS: ZARA So how do you introduce colour into your look if you are stuck on black and white? I am the first to admit that if I could, I would probably wear black all the time. Maybe black and white. However, adding colour is so fun specially during the winter because its unexpected but since that ship has sailed and were kind of in the “middle” of Spring, here is a good tip to introduce colour to your wardrobe. If you love your black and…
REFORMATION NEWSPRINT PANTS
I’M WEARING >> Newsprint Pants: Reformation | Sweatshirt: Storets | Shoes: Senso | Bag: Gucci | Sunnies: Celine I recently received these Reformation newsprint pants and I a super hooked. In all honestly, sporty clothes have been my go to since the pandemic and it has been quite hard to snap out of that, so wearing these trousers feels like a true update. These are quite a statement but what I love about them is that they are actually quite easy to style, in fact, I just launched a styling series on my Instagram Reels where I styled these pants in 3 different ways if you are interested. You can…
FIREPLACE MAKEOVER WITH WESTWING
Some of you know that I have been decorating our “new” apartment for the past few months and one of the final touches was the fireplace. I already had a vintage mirror placed there but I didn’t like the style clash with our new furniture (even though that can sometimes work). I have been looking into styling the fireplace in a completely different way, so I partnered with Westwing for this and picked up the perfect pieces to give this space a whole new look. The best news is that they gave me a 30 Euro voucher for any of you guys that would like to become a new Westwing…
OUR CIVIL WEDDING
I’M Wearing >> Civil Wedding Dress: Rotate | Headband Veil: DIY | Shoes: Charles & Keith | Earrings: Swarovski Last Friday the 11th of February, we finally officially married at a very small and intimate civil wedding ceremony in Amsterdam’s courthouse. We had obviously already had our big wedding in Mexico but it was only a religious ceremony and the legal marriage had to take part in The Netherlands. We waited for months because the waiting time for appointments at the courthouse were insanely long but last Friday it finally happened, so I guess we are now OFFICIALLY married and just in time for Valentines day haha. This dress I…
