When it comes to jewelry I go through phases where I prefer big and chunky over fine and elegant, or the other way around. I always look at what jewelry people are wearing, and I have vivid memories of my very first ring. I was in middle school, it was silver with a little lady bug on it. Super cute and girlie. Then came a shot but heavy obsession over big chunky silver rings, and nowadays I’m all about fine jewelry. Hence I’m always looking for rings that work well with my – insanely beautiful – engagement ring, and I think I’ve found a brand that’s absolutely perfect…
I’m not really a print-girl, but I do love colors and I am not afraid to take on a challenge, so when Karen Millen asked me to style three looks with their Art Atelier collection I could only say “yes” and take the challenge by its horns…
Going through the photos of todays’ look I realized that if there were to be one “type” of look that would really describe me on a regular weekday, a day with the kids, and as a New York mommy – apart from my double denim attire – it would be this: A fluffy sweater – shirt when summer – a fancy feminine skirt, and a pair of sneakers. Preferably combined with a beautiful design bag, that’s my guilty pleasure as you know, and big sunnies.
I have a weak spot for masculine suits, so you can imagine how happy I got when I saw this one with the open sleeves. Very unique and it gives the whole look a total different vibe. In motion they feel very 70s, yet when standing still it’s more like a cape. Either way beautiful and the playfulness makes it a great pieces to a wardrobe that’s already full of black jackets – like mine.
I’m not wearing my skinny jeans as often as I used to. It literally got replaced by the many pairs of (denim) culottes and ripped boyfriend jeans that are taking over my wardrobe nowadays. They are bold and comfortable, but not super sexy – if you ask Thomas. So it was about time I found myself a new “second skin” aka the perfect skinny jeans…
