ON WARDROBE STAPLES

Since it is so hard to find the perfect this and the perfect that, I thought I might share my personal list of favorite wardrobe staples. These are the functional ones that work for me on a regular daily basis.

Basic t-shirts. Mine are from the men’s department at COS.

Silk shirts, at least one black, one white. Equipment ‘Signature’, what else?

Cashmere sweaters. The men’s section (again) at the Belgian brand Essentiel has really good affordable options.

Darkgrey skinny jeans (and all kinds of other colored ones). I have tried millions and millions of jeans, but my Dr Denim ‘Snap’ ones are the ultimate – not too skinny, not too loose – they are perfect. I just recently found out the ones from Maison Scotch work pretty well on me too.

Boyfriend jeans, one pair of them. I personally love the Acne ‘Pop’ in one size too large (though they sell out pretty quickly) and I have a very nice one from Diesel.

Classic black pumps, the most unreal pointed toe pair you have ever laid eyes on. I am currently saving up for Prada, since Louboutin Pigalle is way too uncomfortable and maybe a bit too obvious for me. Go for a >10cm heel and the perfect amount of toe cleavage.

Oversized wool coat in camel or grey. Stella McCartney, Joseph, or for a slightly cheaper alternative Fillipa K. (I do not own a Stella – or Joseph – but this would definitely be my dream coat.)

Black blazer and matching pants. I swear by mine from Maison Martin Margiela, bought with a huge discount at Roundabout.

Chunky knit. Looks like Hope Sthlm is re-issuing their ‘Grand’ sweater, I never saw anything better than this.

So tell me, what are yours?

ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS WISHLIST










Just because there’s always things to wish for, and there should be. I mean, how boring would life be, if you could have it all?

A gold Cartier L⊝ve bracelet to get the arm party started again. I used to wear tons of bracelets all together, but I got rid of most of them and now I actually miss a little something pretty around my wrist.
An English Bulldog that Lesley and I are going to name Boelie. We’re currently looking for an appartment and we’re planning on getting a dog even before buying a couch, I kid you not.
A nice darkblue flare to switch my skinny jeans with. It elongates ones legs so much and that’s something I definitely can use sometimes as I’m not the tallest girl in town.
Carine Roitfeld – Irreverent. < already on its way to mama. A Christmas present from me, to me.
A lace bra, to peek out underneath the overload of tanktops that I own. I just never bumped into the perfect one…yet.
Shoes, lots of them, especially these Céline sandals. I’ve been having an eye on them for a looong looong time now.
A Proenza Schouler PS11, in burgundy to be precise. I made a deal with myself that I can only buy one designer bag a year. This way, I make sure it’s a bag that I really truly am in love with and also a bag that. I’m going to use more often than once.
The perfect silk white shirt, from Equipment perhaps?
Tiny little necklaces, like these worn by Miranda Kerr. Can anyone id?
Some cute tops. Seriously, I happen to opt for simple t-shirts every time I send myself to go shop for cute tops. Boooring!

And above all, an apartment in Amsterdam for Lesley and I.
