Stripes + squares

The month of October is coming to an end and I am impatiently counting the weekends until Christmas. The shops and streets are slowly adopting the Christmas feeling, although I think it's still a little early for that… (Secretly, I am already guilty for buying some decorations. Oups…)

To end this month, I wanted to show you this outfit which is all about mixing and matching stripes with squares.

I got these trousers a while back at Zara but I never got around to wearing them. I was missing the correct inspiration and clothing item that would match perfectly.

As the Zara collection is amazing this season, I went for a stroll through their stores and found this sleeveless vest which happens to be the cherry on the cake for my outfit along with this oversized shirt from H&M.

Talking about the sleeveless vests, these happen to be very trendy this season and I am still on the hunt for a camel coloured version. If you spot a nice one somewhere, let me know!

A number of people seem to think that stripes and squares aren't the ideal combination, I, on the contrary, am a huge fan of it. This being said, the best way to wear it is by mixing small squares with big stripes and vice versa.

Now, I'm off to bed as tomorrow morning I need to go to a meeting in relation to the Luxembourg Art Week as I will be working there all of next week.

Good night world!

Teddy jacket

We were finally graced with a ray of sun during the weekend, I took as a result the opportunity to shoot an outfit. Later during the day, I went to the "Markt Hall" in the center of Rotterdam. It's huge hall, inside a glass arch, where an array of restaurants can be found as well as any kind of delicatessen from foreign countries (desserts, cheeses, sausages, turkish pizza …etc).
I absolutely love this place especially when you are  a foodie like me. You can literally buy/taste everything. If you're ever passing by or visiting Rotterdam, make sure to stop by the "Makt Hall", it's definitely THE food temple!

To my outfit, I completely forgot that I owned this soft and cuddly teddy jacket. Whilst going through my closet and thinking over and over again "What should I wear today? I have nothing…" I recovered this coat hiding at the back. It was perfect for this sunny yet cold weather. 
As I was just planning on going for a stroll through the city, I opted for a pair of jeans, sneakers and my little red Furla bag. Perfect size, since everything you need fits inside: money, phone, keys and more.
I will definitely wear this jacket regularly as it kept me warm and it was comfortable. I actually bought it in London… One of my best buys last year, definitely !
