First impressions

I'm writing you this post from my Paris bed and going to call it a night! What a hectic day it's been, filled with impressions. We (yes, my boyfriend came with me to Paris!) couldn't check in until 5 so all my clothes came out wrinkled when I was finally able to unpack... Wardrobe emergency! But I guess that's part of travelling :) Tomorrow Paris Fashion Week is really starting and in the evening I'll visit the Hypeed cocktail party. Let me know if you're there too! Bisous, Yara(Zara jumper / H&M sho...

Packing for Paris

Needless to say, attending an international Fashion Week – let alone Paris Fashion Week, the mother of all Fashion Weeks as Andy put it – is something I couldn’t be more excited about. But packing for Paris is serious business. Right now I’ve piled half of my closet on my bed and it looks like my room exploded. What do we do in such situations..? That’s right: we make a list.My Fashion Week essentials:♥ A loose black dress, the perfect layering piece.♥ Leather or denim skinnies, to wear with a loose T and clutch, always works.♥ Blazers, blazers, blazers. If you have little packing space bring a black and one statement blazer.♥ A bunch of tights,...

United Nude

With Andy I NEED these shoes! Too bad I don't have a spare 300-something euro's somewhere Guaranteed, you won't find a dull shoe in the United Nude store. The boots, heels and wedges are almost architectual, which makes sense since one of the founders is architect Rem D. Koolhaas (Yes, the nephew of). At their party in Amsterdam yesterday, I fell hard for their booties and wish I could have hidden the buckle wedges and lace ups in my clutch! That didn't happen, but I did have a good time with my friends and fellow bloggers.LF Stores top / H&M clutch / Zara leather pants / Forever21 two finger ring / Prada sh...

Sunny days

Our lovely city of Amsterdam has been covered in rain and clouds ever since I got back from the USA. So when the sun showed up I got enthousiastic and went for a summer outfit, although it was actually a little too cold ;) I should move somewhere with a better climate, which place on the world would you pick to live?Secondhand H&M dress from Wasteland (A huge vintage store in San Francisco, if you're in the area definitely visit!) / H&M Fashion Against Aids mens hat / Zara leather bag / LF Stores wed...
