fashion friday: an ode to denim

denim1.jpg

Denim has never been out of style but lately I have been seeing more denim than ever. Especially denim on denim (as in the image above) is the trend right now. I love denim as it is very versatile, you can combine it with some heels for a more classy look or with flats or sneakers for a relaxed outfit. In this post you can find some of my favorite denim pieces and items that go perfectly with denim.

fashion friday

summerdresses.jpg

Although it is still winter here (with snow and low temperatures), I love looking at summer fashion collections that are now arriving in stores. Each year I wait too long with buying summer clothes and by the time summer has arrived, all the items that I had my eye on are already sold out. So this year I’ll make sure to buy my wish list items early!

Here are some of my favourite summer dresses that I found online: 1. a comfortable jersey maxi dress with a beautiful loose silhouette, 2. a tunic / shirtdress tailored in a lightweight blend of cotton and linen in a perfectly worn-in shade of indigo, 3. a maxidress with breezy kimono-style sleeves and a matching belt to cinch in the waist.

o my bag

Let’s talk about bags! How many do you own and what is your favorite? I personally have more with bags than with shoes. The Sleazy Jane from O My Bag is a new favorite that I just ordered. O My Bag is a Dutch bag label set up by Paulien Wesselink. The bags are hand made from eco-friendly leather in a Fair Trade atelier in India. What I like about the bags is that they are classy but with a cheeky twist.

O My Bag has an online shop (world-wide shipping) but for those living in The Netherlands it is good to know that there is a pop-up show in Amsterdam selling their gorgeous bags (which is open until 31st December). Also, OMB is organising a give-away which you can enter through noon (CET) on Monday, 24 December. You can find the details here.
