In partnership with Stuart Weitzman Luxe Sneakers – Wrapping up the week and heading into the weekend in my default favorite #allblackeverything! For me, all black seems to be my go-to combination…partly because a total tonal blackout, always makes me feel pulled together with virtually no effort required and partly due to a little […]
While some people may have problems committing I can proudly say that I’ve not only committed once (to my husband) but twice, to sneakers, which incidentally happens to be the longest relationship of my life. It doesn’t matter if they are the trend of the season or not, I’ve always preferred sneakers over everything, day or night, summer or winter. And because I’m not a trend shopper when it comes to sneakers I’m very picky in choosing only comfortable, cool and timeless pairs: like the Stuart Weitzman SW-612. The key points making them the perfect pair: extra comfy light suede that makes socks obsolete, the white rubber sole detail that gives it the extra touch, perfect cut at the ankle with a leather-wrapped elastic ruching detail that enhances the ankle (and makes legs look super long and flattering) so on and so forth… They come in 5 colors, either leather or suede and more good news is that these are not the only sneaker design Stuart Weitzman has. Now it’s time to get the other …

Guccified – Did someone say Gucci ? Not to be missed bold logo’s and double G’s are a far departure from my usual low-key approach to dressing, but in this case, a double dose of Gucci is off-set with classic black suiting & simple white sneakers for some much needed balance. A perfect Monday-back-at-it […]

Offline today – das war mein Motto für Weihnachten und die Feiertage, an denen ich nur sehr sporadisch online war und natürlich war es herrlich, einfach mal wieder nur zu essen und auf der Couch zu gammeln.

Sweater Weather – To me, sweater weather, as people affectionally call it, is beyond conventional “sweaters”.

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.

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.

Grey Days When I collaborated on my Capsule Collection with Third Form I knew I wanted to create pieces that were effortless on their own in Spring and Summer, but I also wanted them to transition easily into Fall.

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 […]

Grey on Grey Its no secret that Fall is my favorite season, neither is the fact that I’m a sucker for knits…or all things grey…or all things oversized…I know, I know, I’m a creature of habit. I not only prefer certain seasons and colors but I also have my fave New York neighborhoods that […]
In the Bag As we transition into Fall, I’m slowly adding pieces and forever stockpiling all that is monochrome, minimal and functional. When you have a “default” uniform you defer to, mine is usually a combination of textures in all black everything…you rely on a good rotation of well thought out accessories to be the hero pieces […]

Bold, classic, powerful, dependable, mysterious, strong and luxe…there have been many ways to describe black.

Bare Shoulders + Bell Sleeves I am always looking for ways to incorporate knitwear into my Summer rotation.

WEARING: AVELON FASHION BLOUSE, DENHAM LEATHER SKIRT, ADIDAS STAN SMITH SNEAKERS, ALEXANDER WANG BAG There really is no reason not to smile when the sun is shining and you’re touring around the city on your bike. Especially not when you’re doing it on this cool matte black one from VanMoof. I just love everything about this bike. The way it looks, and the way it makes me feel. I now rather choose to move around by bike when the weather is allowing it, it’s still Holland we’re talking about, instead of just always jump in my car. I just feel so much more alive with the wind in my hair and being outdoors! Thanks VanMoof for the amazing gift! PHOTOS BY DENISE PS: I’m giving away a pair of GIVENCHY sunnies on my Instagram, don’t forget to enter!
WEARING: ADIDAS SUPERSTAR SNEAKERS (VIA WINKELSTRAAT.NL), HM TREND DRESS, CHLOE FAYE CROSSBODY BAG Ever since Enzo came in to my life, I’m much more of a sneaker addict then a high heel kind of girl. Yup, kids sure change you. But running after Enzo is a lot easier when you’re not wearing 5 inch heels. Plus a new pair of white sneakers never hurt anyone, so I got the Adidas Superstar as well. And by sometimes pairing them up with a long dress I still feel a bit like the old me. :)

The Croc Effect Well its the first day of Spring so naturally…I’m in all black ; ) But honestly, I am excited to lighten things up, shed a few layers and have a fresh start as it starts to warm up. While I piled on the black on black here, I kept things feeling fresh by […]
