Yoga, an exercise I love to do now that I am living my active and eloquent live. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual work out which I find relaxing and energizing as well as it makes me more lenient and slim. My favorite yoga school is De Nieuwe Yogaschool (Laurierstraat 109, Amsterdam). This serene and warm school makes me feel at home. I love it to recover from a lesson in...
The iconic Chanel 2.55 celebrates her 60th birthday this month! Coco Chanel was a real fashion pioneer and was known for her liberated ideas about women's fashion in the post World-War I era as her couture clothing could be described as casual chic, she did not use any corset silhouette in her designs and she created a bag that would free your hands (i.e. using thin straps, similar to the way the...
Yeah, we are in the middle of ski-season! Maybe you have already been up in the mountains this winter or perhaps you are still planning your trip to the white hills? In any case, you are more fortunate than I am as I don't have any plans to pack my bag to go skiing this season. I have always been a fanatic skier as I was born and raised by two overenthusiastic...
Whoooo - I am still processing all the amazing collections I have seen this Fashion Week. As announced in the post last week, I went to see the F/W 2016 fashion shows of Bas Kosters, Mirte van Wijngaarden and Claes Iversen (in the outfits demonstrated in the pictures above). I could go on and on writing about my personal view of these shows, but I guess you are more...
Wearing: Pouch Bag by Stieglitz, Anecdote cardigan (buy similar here), black basics by H&M and golden earrings with black stone from Eenvoud Amsterdam. Since I got this bag I love it, not only because of the beautiful material, its color or its size, but mainly because of its shape: a cocoon bucket form and a drawstring closing. I therefore call it a bucket bag, but people may name it as a pouch,...

Have you visited any events yet? Are you...
Grab your bag and go to Central America! A dream came true and I have to admit that I had the best time of my life! I experienced ultimate freedom and traveled like I had never traveled before. As you might know, I just returned from a five-week adventure in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. Last week Eva (of Mrs Anchelon) and I chit chatted about this big trip and she asked me...
I am just unable to express how much I adore the bags by Daphny Raes, a young and upcoming fashion designer. From her childhood on she was determined to do something with fashion. After she graduated from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, Daphny decided that she wanted to start her own label in Amsterdam. Leather is her passion and her main inspirations are architectural shapes and contrasting materials. She designs...
