Just a quick photoshoot of my new fluffy knitwear sweater ; I really love the loose knit and color here. It makes me crave Autumn - my favorite season - although I still need some vacay badly.

For me, a holiday is the best time to resource and reinvent myself ; new ideas come more easily when  distant from my daily routine. September 1st is to me what  New Year's day is like to other people - it's the perfect moment to reboot myself, start with a fresh slate, sharpen my pencils.

So, I'm very much looking forward to catch some extra sun and energy but also can't wait to 

restart the new year.

What about you ? When is your perfect moment during the year ?

Lace & Mohair

I've finally found a discrete but very nice bustier to protect my modesty underneath my bridal dress next week. We are planning to renew our vows with our 10 year anniversary ; I've found the cutest midi dress but have to admit, it's quite bold. It has a plunging neckline and although it stays nicely in place, I'm not that confident it will hold during the day. I'm quite an expressive person with my arms - imagine Italian gestures and shifting from left to the right in a split second - we don't need nipple slips or other embarrassing moments .. :-)

& Other Stories has a very nice underwear range every season ; they have the most perky choice for their FW16 collection and I was lucky to find this lacy bra in my size. Couldn't also resist to ferret around the store ; the grey mohair knit seen in the picture above .. OMG, it was love at first sight ! Just can't resist a nice knit in any shade of grey.
I plead guilty ; this is my first Winter item and it's not even September yet !
I'm pretty sure you guys would love to wear this chunky sweater on a silk(y) long pencil skirt !

Best on Instagram - May

Maybe 1 day too soon to post this but I have tons of work to do and another upcoming shoot this weekend !

If fashion was last April's main topic, blue sure was the headliner of May.

I got me some blue shoes at our newly opened &OtherStories (love that shop, can't pass without walking in, obsessed !) - blue Sailor Dior nail polish - blue highlights in my hair, topped up for extra prominent blue tones with some Stargazer hair dye.

Discovered a very nice coffeehouse/vintage shop called Sussies in Antwerp (need to add this to my Locals page ^ above) and my mini-me was very happy that mom got her this year's edition of the Dutch Vogue T-shirt ! (she missed that one in 2013)

This May was filled with photoshoots of all kind ; very glad people start to notice me and ask me for small shooting sessions. It's a good exercise and this way, I can pretty much fill up and finish my portfolio just nicely ! 

Like many of you, I'll be studying, al fresco, if possible and start a countdown towards the end of June. 

#&OtherStories

As expected, there was a queue outside our new local &OtherStories shop today !

The long awaited opening day finally arrived ; at noon the doors opened and at least 150 super excited ladies stormed in to get their hands on the items they lusted for ! 

Have to say I'm very proud ; the Antwerp store is absolutely stunningly amazing ..

Got myself 2 pairs of shoes (don't save me, I'm a lost case) and some beautiful geometric detailed golden rings. 

I must admit, COS is going to have a lot of competition from it's younger sister.

Not only do they sell extra stuff like make-up and magazines, but the prices are also just a tad friendlier .. 

check the store out (find maps via Locals in the bookmark above) or online.
