JACK*IT

Today must be one of the most beautiful, yet coldest days of the year. Time to get that cosy fluffy winter jacket out! I've always been a fan of parkas, both for males and females. It gives an edgy cool touch to your outfit, without creating that 'hi guys I'm going to do some survival in the mountains' kind of vibe.  But if you know that the parka was invented by the Inuits, originally made from caribou or seal skin and used to go out hunting and kayaking in the frigid Arctic, you can understand where this vision comes from? Still, I don't think that way. For me the parka is perfectly wearable each and every day. Who's agreeing? 

So now that all are fluffy duffy winter garments are out, I'm waiting for those other winter essentials... Can't wait to see those Christmas lights and decorations again!

South Bank/Bankside (part 1)

Do you know the feeling that when you end a visit in London and you're sitting on the train back home looking outside the window, realizing you didn't see the Big Ben? Well, I've been having that feeling a couple of times the past few years, and this time I was going to do something about that! Because the Big Ben is such a big touristic thing, I almost always avoid the Westminster area, but still I have to admit that I like seeing it once in a while (checking if it is still there ;p). So on day one of the trip, the Big Ben was on top of the menu! When walking from the Bankside towards South Bank, you get a beautiful view of this famous clock located in the Palace of Westminster, with alongside the London Eye, also one of the most visited attractions in the world. I love strolling alongside the Thames and watching London from different angles: so stunning!

Nothing Hill

Hi guys! Today I want to treat you with an outfit post and what is a better place to do some outfit shooting than L to the ONDEN?!?!?!? Next to being my favorite city in the whole wide world, I also think it is one of the few cities that really breathes fashion on a day to day basis. London just always knows what is hot and happening. It was such a long time ago that I walked through the cosy streets of Nothing Hill (and no, not looking after Hugh Grant ;)), so taking the tube had a double purpose that day: shooting some pics and doing some house hunting (you'll never now right?!). And oh yeah, I'm very proud of my new white coat! I know, again an oversized one, but I'm just such a cold kiddo that I love to wrap myself up with a big coat, a beanie and a warm scarf. And that was really necessary that day with the cold wind finding its way through London town. Hope you like the pics and especially the setting!

Less is more

What's wrong with a simple T-shirt and a pair of shorts??? NOTHING! Don't ever forget one of the main rules in fashion: 'less definitely can be more'. Have a nice weekend!
