These Jacquard Boots

TBH, I bought these boots back in Jan 2017. Never did them justice with a decent post, besides a baby cameo on this one, so allow me to right my wrongs. These shoes are in the Top 5 Coolest Pieces I own. I keep them front and center on the shoe rack, so that I can admire them daily, because we know they aren’t going out the door as frequently. They’re art in itself, with Dries Van Noten vibes, but And Other Stories prices (thank god…). With summer officially around the corner, all the insta and fashion mags are giving…

It’s been a long cold winter, and my toes have officially frozen off.  Yikes.  I know Belgium is nowhere where near the negative double-digit temps of Boston, but jezus can a girl get a little sun here!?  Nearly every day is covered and cloudy… The sun doesn’t even stay awake longer than office hours, so yeah, we’re pretty much just zombies getting dressed and walking around in the dark here.  Thank god for Will Smith’s instagram, feeding us those feel good videos. Inevitably, there are pieces that you fall back and back and back on, and these pair of pants…

Let’s Talk About It: The Pajama Trend

You know how sometimes when you’re walking through a Topshop or Zara-type store, there’s a certain trend that you keep seeing pop up. Like for example, right now – if you keep your eyes peeled – you will spot random embellishments and patch embroidery on all types of clothing. Skirts, button downs, jean jackets, you name it. These trends begin their journey subtle, inconspicuous, then, with the blink of an eye they’re everywhere, flying off racks. In reality, everyone has their own propensity in taking to fashion trends, and I realize I actually buy into them later than other style…

The Floral Wrap Top

Let me start by saying I “literally can’t even” with this top. It embodies everything I feel and trust about fashion: that a single piece of clothing can speak for my style and individuality. I love it so much here is a Haiku I wrote on what it means to me: “Modern black florals, An Asian inspiration, For utility” Gah, well clearly, I am no poet. But in searching for ways to communicate the mood, beauty, and poignant experience of this piece of clothing, I was left with no other choice but a haiku. Gomen’nasai. THE UTILITY: A straight up…

Layering You Didn’t Even Know You Had

If you’re a bozo like me and often times choose style over basic human necessities such as warm and stable body temperatures, then I am pleased to announce I’ve uncovered a fall winter layering trick that will tickle your fancy! I always encourage leveraging the full utility of your closet, for as much of the year as you can. So when I was browsing through my vestiaire, shedding tears for the lighter jackets worn too seldom, a bing-bong went off in my head. Jean Jacket + Statement Coat = HIPSTER WARMTH. As any clothing obsessed maniac would do, I ripped…
