Winter wardrobe inspiration

Thankfully, it hasn’t really gotten cold in the Netherlands yet, but I always enjoy seeing people who dress nicely during winter and actually look sophisticated doing it, whereas I usually end up looking a hot (cold) mess, crazy bag lady-style, including red (okay and sometimes also runny) nose and all.

(By the way, the summer equivalent of this is: Me at the airport in my oldest, pajama-est-looking clothes, a purse, a tote and then about twenty plastic bags; Some people at the airport in high heels, with ONE classy leather carry-on and an Evian spritzer (or so I imagine.))

Monki Television favourites


For those who aren’t familiar with Monki Television: it’s a weekly clip made by Monki about ‘girls whose creativity and personal style inspire us’ (and incidentally help sell some clothes, too). I can never get enough of lurking at people’s homes and lives, especially if I don’t know them (is that weird?) and they have an envious wardrobe.

At home with Courtney Love

xoJane went on a tour of Courtney Love’s house in New York (the one she allegedly is being kicked out of). In all its feminine, old world, witch-y etherealness, it’s exactly what you would expect Love’s house to look like.

And then, as a bonus, Stylelist.com takes us inside her closet. It’s too good!
