generic sweater and a pair of tortured jeans


Went crazy with bleach. And then subsequently with scissors. Rediscovered an old pair of sort of skinny jeans, that never really fit me well. Figured I got nothing to lose with these in case my bleaching experiment went off the rocker. Well, it all went OK, after I realised I purchased a wrong kind of bleach and swiftly made it to the store for a different nasty smelling chlorine bottle. 
Love them with a pair of Chucks and that Topshop sweater that for a weird reason became irreplaceable. Really need to focus my attention on a different type of knitwear. It's just that this sweater is so... nothing that it generically works with whatever I have at hand.
Taking my newly ripped jeans to the Russian woods. Loving the untouched wildness and this surreal beauty. Cold easily spend a day walking around here.

may sunset



My mom gave me plenty of picture options for this post. It's been raining cats and dogs for most of the day. You know how it usually happens in May with thunders and lightning and all. So I've been hiding at home, convinced that going through my old closet is a better activity for the day than being stuck in traffic and needing my umbrella anywhere I go. Still managed to go for a quick drive just in time for sunset. Barely visible, peeping through the layers and layers of clouds. Zara flats and a pair of leather shorts (H&M trend) never get old for me, especially with a loose sweater thrown on top of it all. This one is from Topshop. Jerome Dreyfuss handbag has been my best bag for weeks now. Love coming back to things after a while.


black suede


Found this suede dress back in Antwerp a few weeks ago. This is probably the most surreal vintage piece I own. It's awesome enough to be worn with the Wang sandals, lol. And surprisingly it's a perfect fit too. 

On the other note, I'm  trying out a new hairdo. Well, only for a day it is. The dress is ideal for tucking in most of my hair, leaving only a fraction of shoulder length outside. Loving it that way. I might even convince myself that I like it even more and go on for a few days or so without missing the rest of the locks. Would I have the guts to chop it off? Probably not.

Read an interview with me in an online version of DOUB magazine created by Jilke Juliens and Afrodite Trevlopoulos (you guys are awesome). It's on page 16.

1. Love that ice perfect surface of water. Even opted for this shot as a desktop image. Cheesy enough, but perfectly represents my mood for the season.
2. A velvet couch is the coolest piece of furniture any hotel could have among its furnishings. I wish I could just do a bit of clicking through and have this beauty delivered to my door step the next morning. Always had a thing for old-fashioned kind of sofas.
