MY MOST-SPECIAL TIME OF THE WEEK! WHAT’S YOURS?

Since I am a mom, weekends means family time and this became my favorite part of the week.

My life often seems to be a race against time. I want to do a million things a day but the hours pass by so quickly that I always find myself struggling with things that still have to be done. Spending quality time with my little family is my priority especially when I am so busy with my job.

I am not gonna lie, I do enjoy Monday mornings too.. when Emma goes to daycare and Menno to the office and I can finally enjoy the silence, a good coffee and organise my work week. But those moments I switch off from social media over the weekend and I dedicate myself 100% to my little girl, make me love my job even more!

Simple, timeless, elegant, perfectly round is what Ebel watches are and I fell in love with them. Time is precious and I love my busy week schedule but also spending it slowly at home enjoying every moment over the weekend.

Having a good quality watch at my wrist is essential for me. This is why when it came down to choose I went for a top Swiss quality and luxury design like Ebel, and I picked my favourite design, the Ebel Wave.

During the weekends when I take everything slowly and enjoy time with my family my Ebel watch becomes an amazing accessory and I just love to look down at it! It makes me feel dress up even in my most simple look!

Combination of rose-gold tone and diamonds brings with it elegance and style which make any of my outfit special but at the same time gives me that modern feeling I want. I think it’s the case of the watch, made from stainless steel, which gives that perfect modern feeling.  Diamonds and 18K gold crown make it classy at the same time.  A dial is galvanized in silver with diamonds with application of Ebel symbol. It’s just the perfect combination for a stunning watch! Because the watch’s bracelet is brushed and polished two-tone stainless steel with closing, it looks elegant and easily combinable with any style you may wish!

Do not forget to watch your time and take it slowly sometimes to enjoy time with yourself and your loved ones!

{SHOPPING} CHECK PRINT COAT: MY FAVOURITE SELECTION

If you are like me, one coat is not enough to go through the cold days, all day, every day.. but there is a print I am never getting tired of, the check print coat. The coat is the centrepiece of our winter wardrobe. It’s the item we end up wearing the most during the winter season. So, why the xxx would we only wear one!

The check print coat was already a big trend last spring but now it is coming back as a must have in our closets. Whether it is a stylish blazer or a winter coat, it got my attention already! I’d say, get at least one check print piece in your wardrobe because this season belongs to this pattern!

The thing I also love about a check print coat, it’s that it just looks amazing in any possible way. You can dress it up and down and you can easily combine it with anything else in your wardrobe. If you are wearing an evening look, it adds some sophistication, and if you wear it, like me, with sneakers, adds a touch of playfulness.

Don´t be afraid to invest in a proper check print coat because it is one of the most timeless and basic pieces you can have in your wardrobe. It will always find the way to come back as a big trend, so make space in your wardrobe and keep it there.

This is my favourite selection available to buy online at the moment:

{SHOPPING} TEDDY COAT: MY FAVOURITE SELECTION

If you, like me, can’t bear the cold, you are in for the most snuggly coat of the season, the teddy coat!

The most oversized, the best.. and in general, a teddy coat is definitely one of the most desired piece available out there! I know, it looks quite massive, as it is about a size larger than a coat you would normally buy, but it looks so cool!

A teddy coat is not just a trendy piece, but also it keeps you warm and cosy. I love this trend as it is a great alternative to my other beloved classic coats. It’s easy to style and I love to combine it with neutral colours such as black, white or grey.

It´s a must have investment in your winter wardrobe!

Here is my selection of best teddy coats of this season, currently in stock:

HOW TO SCORE A DESIGNER BAG FOR LESS

It’s no secret I have a sweet-tooth for a good designer bag and my wish list always looks like a never ending story. But for many of us, spending the equivalent of a month’s rent on a bag remains a serious investment and of course, the bags we love the most, hardly go on sale.

Still, there are ways to save a bit of cash on our major designer bag purchases!

Of course we can use some tricks to save up a little percentage on the full price of the designer bag we fall in love with. Tricks like shopping on sites that are based in Europe to save import and tax duties or considering an unusual colour which most probably will be part of some seasonal sales.

Instead, what I find the most effective, is buying from an authentic second hand source, like I did for this Balenciaga Bazar on Rebelle.

I’ve really enjoyed shopping on Rebelle, the site is very neat, it’s easy to shop, full on useful information and most important, it immediately gave me the idea I was going to spend my money on a safe website! I’ve surfed the site a lot before deciding on this Balenciaga (even if it was already on my top 3!), just out curiosity!;)

On Rebelle you can save major money! more than 70% sometimes, if you’re willing to invest in a pre-owned bag. What’s best than shopping on a website that offers all the designer brands you can think of, for guaranteed authentic purses that are in great conditions? I already have my eyes on a vintage Dior I also found on Rebelle! So, as you can see, the wish list is really never ending!! 😉

Finally, Rebelle is committed with a great cause which is helping girls in developing countries! You can help by donating your preloved designer pieces but also by shopping this very cool ‘Rebelle with a cause’ t-shirt and spreading the word on social media by using the #rebellewithacause.

TWO WINTER WARDROBES ESSENTIALS YOU MUST HAVE

Every season has its must-have wardrobe items, and in winter, it’s all about being warm while remaining stylish. Let’s say, hypothetically, that you need only two winter wardrobes essentials in your closet this winter, or at least, they would be a great start to build the perfect wardrobe for the cold days.. do you know what would you pick?

My two winter wardrobes essentials this season are, without a shadow of a doubt, the ones I am wearing today: wool herringbone coat and a light colour oversized jumper, both from Opus.

Let me tell you why! Classic, timeless, smart buy. These two are the definite items that are outlasting the seasonal trends!

I think the best is compiling a seasonal collection of essential items that effortlessly synchronise with your year-round go-to-pieces. Both to invest in a wardrobe update and to give you layering options for the cold temperatures which are coming soon.

Nothing says off-duty chic like a good quality crew neck sweater, like this one I am wearing from Opus. This chic layering piece can be as easy to dress up as it is to dress down. This sweater looks great worn on its own or with a collared white shirt and goes with everything including jeans, skirts, structured trousers and leather pants!

In winter your outwear is the most important aspect of your wardrobe. To me, the herringbone detail remains the most chic of all. There’s something about the print that is so quintessentially british and I love the fact that there’s always a masculine side in it.

With these two items your winter-style can’t go wrong. And the cool thing is, trust me on this, you’ll wear these next year as well.. 😉
