InSpire: Summery Silk

Hey guys, I know I told you about our little photo shoots, here is the first post. Veerle is wearing an

ALL SILK summer outfit. Because as soon as temperatures start rising, silk is one of the most comfortable breezy materials to wear. At this point we always feel like re-mixing and matching stuff from our closets just to see how far we can stretch the possibilities of what we already have. Somehow you always come up with completely new combinations if you just add one or 2 great items. We like to combine the RopaRosa shorts with hot pink accessories and a graphic black and white print blouse. Classy with heels, casual with these old school boat sneakers.... LET THE SUN SHINE!

Silk shorts "Roparosa" € 99,95
Studded waistcoat € 65,-
Silk blouse "Krizia" € 75,-
Sneakers (size 38) € 25,-
Apple necklace €14,95
Mask necklace € 8,-
Pink leather clutch € 39,95

InPress: Antwerp in Knack

With a big thank you to Ans' aunt who was paying extra attention and who pointed this little article out to us. Our Antwerp store was mentioned in the Knack magazine as one of the 23 shopping hotspots in Antwerp. Such a nice Easter gift. We had quite a lot of press lately, so more clippings will follow on the blog. But we also recently had a couple of fun photo shoots to share our fashion love and hopefully spread some inspiration. Until then!

OnStreet: Mirek & Anya Dee

Here's a tribute to Easter with utterly cheerful boots, and all in all a great colorful combo!
Meet Mirek and Anya Dee, who our lovely intern Atka ran into at Amsterdam Dam square a couple of weeks ago. Anya Dee works as a photographer, stylist and make-up artist. If you want to see more, you can check out her website: www.anadeestyle.com . Their style reminded me of the shopping trips to London I made with my best friend in the 90-ies: we needed to get limited edition Doc Martens from the flagship store, and bought all kinds of plaid to combine it true grunge style... oh sweet memories.... thank you Mirek and Anya Dee!

InSpire(d) by Marni

Here are some items that we paired up with images from the ever inspiring Marni for H&M collection.  Don't they look cute together? From runway to Bilderdijkstraat ;-)
Have a great Easter weekend! Enjoy and maybe see you around?

OnStreet: Anke & Nico

We have sent our interns out into the streets to find us some fun looks. Street style is such an incredible source of inspiration that we thought it would be nice to share their finds with you. Today's catch: (Anke & Nico) comes from our intern Simone. Anke (first pics; the knitwear!) from Amsterdam studies Journalism at the Utrecht University and Nico (awesome footwear!) studies MMZ Hulpverlening and lives in Haarlem. Two intelligent girls looking smart, beauty and brains: great pick Simone!
