One of the remarks I often get from my boyfriend is that I always wear trainers. (Men are always exaggerating!!) The minute I come home with a new shopping bag and I show him the novelty with excitement and satisfaction (..this is not always happening since I don’t want to hear ‘did you really need a new pair of shoes, or bag, or blabla… but this happens in every house, doesn’t it?) I think he hopes in a pair of killer heels. Instead it would be a pair of sneakers, denim, loafers, leather pants or this time a sweater dress. Now, lets get to the point..I could have styled it with heels too but with trainers is more stylish to me. A scandi-inspired sporty-chic look makes me feel more myself and I really can enjoy the layering game adding leather trousers underneath and playing with lengths adding a masculine cut  coat.

I added a feminine touch to the look with this cool bracelet from Chandrah. You may have already seen it on my Instagram because I have been wearing it every day since I have got it. This style is on point with the ‘marble look a like’ beads and 18k rose gold plated detail. I love how easily you can put it on with the elastic band. Chandrah offers free worldwide express shipping and I am thinking, since I am enjoying it so much, it would make a great Christmas gift for my besties.

So, to make the story short, you must wear only what makes you feel good!  And blame the rain that in Amsterdam has been non stop the past week or the time waiting that the baby wakes up from her nap or to be honest, I just wanted a new pair of shoes I may need or not.. I ended up buying a new pair of sneakers.. and these are amazing! Stay tuned!

SHIRT DRESS IN WINTER

Sometimes wearing unexpected seasonal items keeps my wardrobe a little more interesting. Think of a total white combo in winter time.. It sounds wrong on paper, because we are all expected to start wearing darks shades when fall starts, but it works extremely stylish on the streets. It is the same concept of wearing a white shirt dress paired with black tights and blazer.

Shoes talking.. I do live most of my every day life in denim and sneakers, especially now as a new mom, but every now and then I like to wear skirts and heels.. always keeping it in a kind of casual and cool way. I particularly like block heels right now and these ones are a great height and seriously made for walking!

MY FAVOURITE STYLING PIECES IN WINTER

Whether it’s a fur vest, an allover fur coat or smaller details, fur and faux fur are my favourite styling pieces for winter. If you read my previous post or follow my Instagram you may have noticed I have been playing with this fur gilet quite a lot. This time over a dress, it allows me to play with different layers, lengths and shapes in several outfits and it’s a great companion to the chilled dutch fall weather. This vest is also extremely versatile thanks to the neutral colour and sleeveless shape, allowing me to wear it with leather, denim or more feminine pieces.

On a different note, I am planning to introduce soon new pages to my blog. I am thinking of a ‘shop my closet’ page, since my wardrobe is getting too tight, a ‘baby page’ with more photos of Emma’s outfits and some mommy thoughts and a ‘places’ page with the best places I am discovering in Amsterdam and during our weekend gateways. I am hoping to have new contents added each week which all depends on Emma’s behaviour ;). The ‘terrible teeth’ are starting to give some signs and she’s been a bit fussy the past evenings. I hope it won’t get too bad. Stay tuned and in the meantime you can follow my instagram for daily updates!

Sleveless vests continue to be a wardrobe staple and when fall arrives I can’t wait to style it. This one is a cozy alternative to my leather jacket and a fancy appetiser to the winter coat. At the moment I am just wearing it over a sweater but when the temperature cools down I also like to wear it with a blazer or a cardigan underneath or even over the leather jacket. I especially like this fox one from an independent vintage shop I found in Italy. The softness, great line and taupe colour makes it easy to pair with so many different layers and mix and match with many items in my wardrobe.

When I say Amsterdam it still doesn’t feel like home. In a way it’s a strange feeling living like a tourist in your ‘new’ home town. On the other way it’s fun to discover new places every day and look for new and different shooting locations.

Just a ferry ride away from Amsterdam Central Station and you are at the Eye Film Institute, an archive and museum of dutch and foreign films screened in the Netherlands. The architecture is just beautiful.

I was wearing a proper fall look, you know, when you wear a cashmere sweater but you can still afford to go bare legs. I am never really wearing bright colours but this time is a total black look. I can’t get enough of leather and culottes, so when they come into the same item, it’s a go! I styled them with a cashmere sweater from All Saints for a dressed down attitude and paired them with these Miu Miu loafers to give a chic, yet comfy touch.
