Spring is here! The birds are singing in the morning, you are meeting your friends on your favourite terrace, the trees carry blossom and you leave the house with bare legs - even though it is actually still too cold to do so. But hey; it's spring! It's in the air and there is no way around it. Everybody is happier, more relaxed and extra energised during this season. The...
The Eastpak Floid Backpack is one of my favourite allround bags. This bag is perfect for the every day city-life as well as leisure and holidays. I got this bag just before our trip to Marrakesh in November last year as I thought that this would be the perfect backpack for this city trip. My husband mostly carried this bag most of the time as a real gentleman. After we...

This trend is not a new one, but an oh-so-nice-one! We are awaiting another summer in which we are going to embrace the playfulness of fringe. It has a touch of bohemian, tribal, 70's and the Wild Wild West. It is an eye-catcher for sure. These bags are relaxed, effortlessly cool and incredibly fun. The style is ideal for the weekends as it is great to twirle around with a fringed bag. The designers Emilio...

Pleased to meet Dionysus. Not the god of wine, but the new It bag of this season. Alessandro Michele, the designer of Gucci, presented this bag during the fashion show for Fall/Winter 2015. It is the perfect blend of seventies glamour and relaxed luxury, somewhat posh as well as eccentric. It comes it two sizes and each bag has either the suede or python trim on the flap...
Many high-end fashion designers presented this trend on the catwalk. We go all white in the summer of 2016. Balenciaga loves the casual shopper model with many fringes while Dior carries the perfect duffle bag that looks very elegant and smooth.

Like the beautiful bloggers Rebecca of Raspberry & Rouge and Negin Mirsalehi prove, round is the way to handle things during Spring/Summer 2016. It is the new trend to follow and the bags by respectively Florian London and 3.1 Phillip Lim have the perfect circle on top that both clarify what I'm talking about. The big names in the fashion industry, like the fashion designers Miu Miu, Tods and Gucci also demonstrated on the catwalk...
Be careful now; you might get hungry after seeing these food shaped bags. We continue the quirky trend on a whole new level. We all love food, especially when it looks good.

And Betsey Johnson...
