Tuesday TuneiT

This tune throws me right back to Amsterdam, back into that little basement boutique full of vintage designer dreams. It had just opened for the day, the nice owner was organizing some pieces along the racks and then she headed to her computer to turn this amazing tune on. In that moment I felt so happy. 

What kind of lovely music is this?, I asked. 

Cause always remember – 

In the end, we only regret the changes we didn't take.

Happy BirthdayCoco Chanel!

"A girl should be two things – who and what she wants."

Gabrielle Chanel, more known as Coco Chanel, and the biography about her life has for sure made an impact on me. It's just something about this strong and creatively talented woman that reminds me of my dear grandma. Unfortunately none of them are with us anymore. Here or there – they are still power ladies to be inspired of! Go girls!

Parisian Chic

For years I've been wanting this book and now suddenly it's mine! I've always been a fan of the Parisian women. It's something so effortless yet sexy about their style that's always so on point. Now I just can't wait to get lost among all these stylish pages, written by Ines de la Fressange & Sophie Gachet.

"Sensuality doesn't come from heels – especially if you can't walk in them. It's like a beautiful woman who has the perfect hair and makeup, but doesn't smile. You should dress to feel good, not show off. It takes life to learn that."

– Ines de la Fressange

"The hardest thing is to do something which is close to nothing".

Few things touch me, but this woman she truly does.

Six days a week, seven hours a day, she sat on a plain chair and stared into the visitor's eyes at MoMa in New York. For three months. This was her longest performance to date, The Artist Is Present.

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

Fashion is in the sky, in the street,

fashion has to do with ideas,

the way we live, what is happening."
