Sound bite: We Are Young (ft. Janelle Monàe) – FUN
Lead looking like Eddie Redmayne? Song in my ears right now, very uplifting and very twenty-something. We are younnnnng!
Fluorescent bags and other vibes

Say what? H&M Spring 2012 Lookbook
So whaaaat is going on with H&M here, I actually want 90% of the pieces featured… I can feel my wallet smile!
Inspiring style.
Sometimes I feel like writing, sharing, getting things off my chest and never know what to go on about. What always makes me happy, like I mean always, is going through photographs of people around the world. The colors, shapes, textiles… inspiring don’t you think?

I love the simple mix of white, black & leopard print. These different cuts put the punch in this outfit.
Fashion blurb: Wayuu Taya Bags
My latest fashion discovery are these vibrant Wayùu Taya satchels. The creator, South American model Patricia Valasquèz is of Wayùu heritage, a group of native-americans who live in the Guajira peninsula of Columbia. These bags are hand-woven, made with local columbian textile to support and improve the lives of latin american indigenous communities. Have a look-see, the bags ranger between 120$ and 160$ and are available on Shopbop!
And then there was Paris Fashion Week…
So I didn’t reallllly understand what was going on during Fashion month this season. While following the New York and London fashion shows, I had to try and see the cohesiveness and vision behind (most) of the collections. Apart from Burberry – Christopher Bailey always rocks it. I thought Spring/Summer 2012 would kind-of be an off-season for me, that I’d detach myself from the trends a little more than usual and stick to my cherished classics. But then Milan… and Paris! Baby I’m back! I was taken-away with Chanel, Balmain, Valentino, JC De Castelbajac, Vuitton, Chloe, Alexander McQueen and many more (AND I didn’t entirely hate Kanye West’s collection like most of the fashion posse – I would buy the Yeezy necklace, no judgements please!
I love the use of delicate fabrics such as lace to create structured shapes – even as a helmet! And just like that… I’m inspired again.
