Keeping warm: wool scarves

I did a similar article last year, but since the Acne Canada scarf is still as popular as ever and we don’t all have a whopping €130 to spend, I thought it would be a good idea to share a couple of cheaper alternatives with you guys again. Now I truly believe that the Acne scarf is a worthwhile investment, so if you do get to chance to grab it, go for it (note: it does go on sale occassionaly!). I went for the safe grey option that’s easy to mix and match with possible future coats. I can honestly say that it still looks like new after four years. Now I can’t promise you these will last as long, but they sure will keep you warm this upcoming winter.

Left: H&M (€39,99), Right: Weekday (€50,00), Other options: COS (€69,00), & Other Stories (€55,00), ASOS (€35,00)

At the end of last year New York based designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh made headlines by accusing accessories label Mansur Gavriel (mostly known for their bucket bags) of copying one of her designs, a pair of mule sandals. Mansur and Gavriel denied the allegation and claimed that it was a mere coincidence and that they cannot claim ownership of […]

Treat yourself

I hadn’t worn my silver diamonds-by-the-yard bracelet for months, because I needed to get it cleaned. So I brought it to Tiffany & Co a couple of weeks ago, not only for a thorough cleaning session but also to have it shortened a little because I already lost it once at work when it got caught on my coat. […]

London purchases

Here it is, finally! The long awaited post on my London purchases (just kidding). I didn’t expect to find everything I was looking for in London but even I can get lucky as it turns out. The last time I visited London was over 10 years ago during a school trip. For some reason Paris […]

5 piece French wardrobe SS15 update

Even though we’re only half way through summer, I wanted to do an update on my recent acquisitions for SS15. Truthfully, I didn’t put much effort into the 5 piece French wardrobe this season. Summer has never been my favourite season, wardrobe-wise and in the past my outfits tended to consist of jeans, a t-shirt and shoes I […]

3 things I totally didn’t need

Yes, a list of three things I totally didn’t need but bought anyway this year. One turned out to be a winner, the others not so much. Because even when you carefully plan your purchases, a mistake every now and then remains hard to avoid. Sometimes you’re convinced you bought the item that was missing all along, […]

Ik heb vorig jaar een grijze Acne Studios sjaal gekocht en ik ben er helemaal gek op.
Het kost inderdaad wat, maar uiteindelijk is het het helemaal waard.
Al kan ik mij inderdaad ook voorstellen dat niet iedereen €130,- aan een sjaal wil/kan uitgeven 🙂

  Zit je ook al te wachten op het koude weer zodat je ‘m weer uit de kast kunt trekken 😉 Ik vind het vooral fijn dat ‘ie zo groot en heerlijk dik is.
