Shot in partnership with Mytheresa.com Modern Utility – Say hello to purposeful pieces that do the trick; provide comfort, work overtime, keep you cozy and look chic while doing it. Modern utility at its best, but…utility does not have to feel utilitarian. So what exactly makes something utility? While there is a whole […]
French Country – New editorial, featuring one of my favorite labels, Magali Pascal. My interpretation of their new collection “La Cabine” below, think very French, slightly country, easy, effortless and altogether chic. The collection is giving me major wanderlust, with escapism to the French countryside at top of mind. Shop the full collection here […]
New Year Eclectic – An eclectic look to start the New Year, a dress that references 70’s flair and disco, 80’s shoulder pads and excess, a luxe faux-leather puffer and Balenciaga sock boots that seem to just work with everything and anything. Paired all that with my hands-free approach to an evening bag…my […]
L’appartement Magali Pascal – An inspired city, an inspired interior and an inspired collection appropriately called L’appartement by Magali Pascal. Cue all-things Parisian…(I can almost taste the croissants) Think delicate lace, intertwined embroidery, ruffles and vintage prints, the details do all the work so you don’t have to. Perfectly pulled together and effortless, […]
Shop my closet… – From essentials to statement pieces, my closet edit is made up entirely of items in my wardrobe! You’ll find black bags on repeat, oversized silhouettes, monochrome, neutrals and denim. My favorite little luxuries to bigger investment pieces along side classic converse. A little essentials inspo for pieces that make up my wardrobe […]
Off-White Suiting – Fresh off, of a month-long Paris trip, I’m already missing the Parisian interiors. The recognizable, intricate details and features of French architecture set the backdrop to my new French suiting! Clean lines & an off-white palatte are the name of the game by a favorite label of mine, Hironae. Feelings very […]
New York NOIR – Feeling right at home on the streets of Paris, sticking to my default favorite…New York Noir. When wearing all black everything, I prefer pieces with volume, detailing or an item that makes a statement. A little interest goes a long way to break up the monotony of a single color way, especially […]
shot in collaboration with mytheresa.com Spring Line Up – It all started with a skirt…I had every intention of posting a single look for a fresh Spring Story featuring a favorite new piece… my J.W. Anderson Striped Skirt from mytheresa.com. This idea quickly evolved, thanks to endless style options (and some indecision) but…I call these good problems! There is nothing […]
Business Casual Once reserved as a “commuter” outfit, the suiting + sneaker combination is once again popular thanks in part to the athleisure movement, causal Fridays and the reemergence of classic kicks like the Adidas Stan Smiths. This is not a new concept or trend but one I’ve relied on for years and default to often. Strategic suiting […]
5 Steps to style the perfect outfit In this editorial: Jeans (Loewe); Handbag & Loafers (Bally) – Farfetch | Knitted top – Isabel Marant | Earrings – Closer by Wwake If elevators, telephones, and my daily dress code have something in common, it’s that laziness was the single greatest motivator that brought all three into existence. The former two were clearly concocted in an attempt to eliminate on-foot travel, vertically and horizontally. As for the latter, yours truly, happy to claim the title of ‘Laziest of Them All’, would run out the door in mismatched socks if it meant a little less time spent rummaging in the depth of my wardrobe. Indeed, no small portion of the looks as seen here were probably due to morning styling sessions given up on half-way through. Getting dressed, you would think, is something that the collective efforts human civilization could have algebraically reduced to some catchy formula by now. But alas, no. I so get you: the first world struggle is real. When you next find yourself close to tears, pile of rejected wardrobe choices at your feet, consider these following 5 steps. 1 Start with one piece Every look needs a starting […]

Leathers, Sweaters & Slides My take, on what I like to call “pool-shoe chic”. Staring a clunky, chunky, wide slide sandal with all the comforts of a pool shoe but this one is elevated in luxe leather. Typically reserved for pool side, this slide, is a perfect pairing with streetwear when you crave comfort but don’t […]
So to finally answer your questions .. this is what I’ve been up to! You might have noticed in the last week or two that I mysteriously seemed to barely exist on social media and when I did eventually appear from behind a coconut palm, I’m pretty sure that you guessed that I’m currently hiding out […]

Oversized & Slouchy Fresh whites contrasted with a bold hit of black leather…this black & white, lack-of-color look has me in my happy place wearing my favorite monochromatic color palatte in an effortless but elevated silhouette. Loose layers called for an unstructured accessory in this case. You’ve seen this oversized & slouchy clutch before… Still in high rotation, […]
Military Influence Free of extra, unnecessary embellishments, wearing new long-line coat from my friends at Marks & Spencer. Fits the mark for being current, but sticks to the classic end of the spectrum. Military trends, for me, can go too far at times and be on the brink of feeling too much like a costume. […]
Double Dose Of Knits Committed to comfort here with a proper double dose of knits. Exaggerated sleeves, asymmetrical hem and an unexpected open back make these anything but basic. Next best thing to wearing an actual blanket…you can shop exact pieces at Anna Quan (skirt here + turtleneck here) I also included inspiration below of similar […]
From the last post I shared a few things I liked and mentioned that I’ve been hunting for ankle boots, so I thought I’d share with you some that I’ve been looking for, all with a mid sized heel. When I was younger I remember my mom would explain that f…
Weekender When you work from home like me, the lines between weekdays and weekends sometimes start to blur a bit. I seem to have adopted an “off-duty” mentality almost full-time lately. Opting for sneakers instead of heels in most cases, scaled-back instead of over-styled, I love easy pieces that don’t require much thought (or effort!). And […]
Summer Interlude Fall Dreaming… – I can’t imagine a more perfect collaboration for my first video project than to bring my new Moda Operandi wardrobe additions to life! Moda Operandi has been a favorite online shopping destination for me for a while now. I think of Moda as an “it girl”. A fashion insider […]
Bold, classic, powerful, dependable, mysterious, strong and luxe…there have been many ways to describe black. Always considered a fashion staple and default hue for us New Yorkers, there is just something about slipping into a fave black sweater or all black everything that just makes me feel polished, sleek and pulled together, even when the silhouette […]

WEARING: H&M TREND OVERSIZED CARDIGAN, H&M T-SHIRT, MUUBAA LEATHER TROUSERS, ISABEL MARANT ANDREW ANKLE BOOTS, PS11 TINY BAG Nothing better than a big knit and a pair of leather trousers for Sunday meetings. But, I have to say I’m wearing this older leather pair from Muubaa lately on repeat. After not touching it for almost a year, it now leaves my closet almost every single week. It’s so funny how a forgotten item can be your most recent favourite… Photos thanks to Iris.
As always I want yet another pair of black boots…Still love the Isabel Marant “cone” heel and have a few a pairs from season’s past with this styling feature and pointed toe. My other pairs are suede and have much wider ankle so love the sleeker update to one of my fave styles ! Isabel […]
While walking the cobble stone streets of Paris, it may or may not be advisable to wear a heel. However, speak to any French woman and she will tell you otherwise. There is something about the way that a French woman smokes her cigarette, tells the rude taxi driver to f$@ck or even perfects the […]

WEARING: ISABEL MARANT ANKLE BOOTS, ZARA LONG BLAZER AND LINGERIE SHORTS, HM TREND TOP AND DUFFYBAG TOTE BAG
I love Stella McCartney and it’s not just because of her incredibly chic design aesthetic, only Stella could create a faux fur so impressively perfect that even an alpaca would look twice. We love our furry friends around here but we’d prefer to see them roaming free, so thank you to Stella and the designers below […]

WEARING: ZARA BLAZER AND FLARE PANTS, ISABEL MARANT POINTY ANKLE BOOTS, RAYBAN AVIATORS AND DUFFYBAG X MINI TOTE BAG HELLO THERE! It’s been awhile since my last outfit post on COTTDS.com, or basically anything for that matter. Motherhood is a full time job, and since they grow up so fast I really wanted to take the time to enjoy my little one. (Who is not so little anymore, Enzo turned 6 months already last week!) And keeping up with a blog takes time and investment. The thing is, after years of working on COTTDS.com, I maintained a high standard for it’s quality. And I felt I couldn’t live up to that anymore. Everything needed to be done so quickly ever since Enzo came in to our lives. So, I decided to not post anything on the blog until I could live up to that standard again. Anyhow! I’m happy to kick off a new COTTDS with a cool new collaboration together with DUFFYBAG X MINI. Last weekend we shot a series of outfits with this super cool tote bag, and I’m eager to show you the rest very soon! Also a fun new collaboration where Enzo is starring is on it’s way! Here’s to new beginnings!
Eventhough it was a little bit quite around here for awhile, I did kept you guys in the loop of my life and my outfits on my Instagram feed. For those who have missed it, here’s a little recap of what I have been up to and of course what I have been wearing. :)
So I have this thing with Isabel Marant and I have this thing with over the knee boots, someone better hide my credit card because this means trouble! Who’s with me on this?
A change of season means a change of perspective. In the southern hemisphere Summer is nearly upon us and it’s time to rework the wardrobe which may sound easy, that is unless you have an inability for making clear decisions like myself, the text book Libran. Sometimes however, I believe the weakness to be precise […]

Essentials When I think of essentials, I immediately reference a handful of key pieces that make up a basics wardrobe – Black trench coat / ankle boot / the perfect white tee…those are just a few items that come to mind… Everything I am wearing here I would def include on that list! Slip […]
Breaking from the routine of owning 4000 pairs of black shoes, I must admit that I was proud of myself the other day when I came across these python beauties from Isabel Marant. Not really what you’d call a colourful shoe, but with an A+ in the personality stakes all the way, the python ankle […]

Hat Day When you typically wear monochrome head to toe like me, a lot of white on white/black on black or a mix of the two (and of course grey thrown in for good measure) you opt to rotate out accessories more frequently just to keep things fresh since the color palette stays the […]
MAXED OUT Keeping things simple here in head to toe black…As it continues to get hotter, I’m needing more creative way to keep cool while still not getting bored with what I’m wearing and just grabbing the same default items every day. If you’ve ever been to New York you KNOW the crazy humidity […]
White Out Simplicity and minimalism are the foundations to my style. I love clean lines and a scaled back approach to dressing, not just by keeping things simple with minimal accessories but by starting with ultra easy pieces that are not over-designed or over-worked. This Oak + Fort tunic dress is just that ! […]
It wasn’t just ‘The Clash’ who once heard London calling, city streets packed with some of the best retailers in the world and central to being one of Europe’s fashion business districts meant that recently I visited ye ole London town to work on a upcoming project #tbc.

Reminiscing to those days as messy 7 year old, riding BMX bike’s through the back paddock in one of mum’s hand stitched poncho’s. Some thing’s never change, the wooly knit obsession has stuck around, thankfully the BMX has not, well not at least in these boots anyway .. aztec knit poncho: Isabel Marant . black leather pants: Isabel Marant […]

After a morning of Parisian AW 2015 shows and a lunch date with a 1st arrondissement post office searching for lost garment samples, I was lucky enough to spend my twighlight hours with this babe, soaking up that later afternoon French sunlight. So meet Smith Vanders, long limbed, funny and charmingly self deprecating.. my kind of girl. There’s a […]

Valentine’s Gift Guide: For Her If you’re not sure what to buy your other half for Valentine’s Day, something classic is always a safe bet. Chanel’s nail polish in a rich red is a small gift but one that will suggest you have taste. Chocolates can be clichéd so why not take home some macrons […]

This will probably be my last monthly recap on COTTDS.com for awhile. I think some of you already have noticed that I have been posting less outfits. I’m definitely trying my hardest to still keep up with my blog – and outfits – but it’s not getting easier now I have arrived in my 9 month pregnancy. The days are passing by so fast, especially for me, now I hardly have energy. Somewhere around 8/9 PM my day have come to and end and bedtime starts. Haha. I feel like such a grandma! But hey, we’re just keep on going. =)
Isabel Marant || SS15 Photographers Inez and Vinoodh, Model Natasha Poly, Creative Direction Atelier Franck Durand Isabel Marant’s SS15 collection is fittingly presented in this fun ‘tribal’ shoot; the raffia, bold prints, fringing and ruffles themselves feeling quite tribal but not unwearable. As Marant put it, “tribal without being too literal”.

A Little tradition we have here on COTTDS.com is the yearly outfit recap. Picked out my personal favourites from the over 100 looks I’ve posted in 2014. It have definitely been challenging to shoot my outfits for the blog the last 6 months. Starting in June when I had a positive pregnancy test. After that my whole world changed, I changed. Mentally but also physically. The physical changes were pretty intense in the beginning. The first 3 months I was extremely tired and I hardly had energy to blog (or anything else for that matter). At that time my baby bump also really started to show, which didn’t make it easy to take outfitshots without showing it.. After 4,5 (long) months I finally shared the amazing news with you, and I was able to show off that cute baby bump. My favourite accessory for sure! ;) It have been a life changing year for me. A dreamy and special year. And the fun part is that 2015 will be even greater. Can’t wait to meet my little man next month! PS: Curious to see the yearly recap of 2013? Check it out here.
WEARING: MUUBAA LEATHER JACKET, HM MATERNITY JEANS, ASOS T-SHIRT, PS11 TINY BAG AND ISABEL MARANT ANKLE BOOTS / 32 WEEKS HAPPY 2015, guys! Hope everyone had an amazing time during NYE. My end of 2014 was a little less exciting, spend the last days in bed with a flu. Yup, I was that lucky. But, I’m back on my feet again and my first outfit of 2015 – besides my pajamas – was this one. Decided that it was time to unleash these leopard ankle boot again, since they have been spending a lot of time in their shoe box lately.

WEARING: ISABEL MARANT POUR H&M OVERSIZED COAT, ISABELLA OLIVER (MATERNITY) LEATHER LEGGINGS, ISABEL MARANT ‘TACY’ BOOTS, PS11 TINY BAG / 29 WEEKS I’m pretty hooked on my leather maternity leggings from Isabella Oliver. I seriously don’t know how I would have survived this maternity clothing-thing if I didn’t had these. I just need – at least! – one pair of black leather trousers in my wardrobe.
And just like that we have landed in the last month of the year ALREADY. Why is time always flying so fast? Which also means I’m starting to get really close to my due date. I can’t wait to meet the little guy that’s growing inside of me, but it’s also becoming a bit scary now it’s all going so fast! Just two more months before my new life is kicking off. Can’t wait!
