Nothing better than little white dresses, denim jackets, strappy sandals, summer breeze in your hair, oversized sunglasses, a little tan, ice-cream in one hand, holding your loved ones in the other, strolling around, looking at smily happy people, being in the city you love, all in one day…
I think I’ve been talking about “Spring is here” for weeks now, forgive me, I’m just so excited about packing away my winter coats and starting to build a Spring/Summer wardrobe from scratch. And with “from scratch” I don’t really mean that I’m cleaning out everything I have, but about being very strict to myself and packing/selling those pieces I deep inside know I’m not ever going to wear again. So last weekend I did a huge closet clean-out, and it felt like so much weight was lifted from my shoulders. Every day I grabbed that same pair of jeans and that old navy sweater, simply because I couldn’t see what I had. I started to hate my wardrobe, and I knew that was not a good sign! Anyway what I’m trying to say is that it’s time to rethink your closet, finally get rid of the things that are blocking your inspiration, and invest in those things I/you love most when it comes to fashion…
When I think about Spring, I think about cropped jeans, flat shoes, simple t-shirts and jackets, and, of course, a new bag in a beautiful SS16 color. Here’s that perfect Spring-look in the flesh, shot in my favorite city in the whole wide world, but in an area I wasn’t that familiar with yet…
If there were a good time to start adding some color to your closet, it would be now, just before spring hits and bare legs are actually allowed. My way of wearing color is always by balancing it out with basics in neutrals, and of course, a simple pair of shoes or boots. A western boot – if I had a pair – or a pair of loafers.
On the second day of NYFW I went to one of my favorite appointments: My fitting at Chloe. Their team in New York is amazing, always so welcoming and full of ideas and enthusiasm. They really know how to make me feel part of the family. This time though, they had and even bigger surprise for me. I knew we were going to shoot their new bag – the mini Jane – during NYFW, but what I didn’t know is that they wanted me to be part of their Valentine’s campaign. Now for someone like me, who has mentioned over and over again not being the biggest Valentine’s day fan – I simply don’t like how insanely commercialized this day has become – a collaboration around this day has to be real special… Well, needless to say, it was… I received my horoscope written by Susan Miller, alongside a beautiful necklace representing my zodiac sign.
