I'm quite happy about the 'return to flats' feeling of the upcoming season. I'm not feeling the trainers besides the gym or the running field. I'm more inspired by wearing my flats pointed, either in brogue-ish masculinity or a dainty ballet version a la Valentino. Beauty & elegance can be comfortable as well: Point made!

There's something dreamy about Coachella. It's probably one of those things that is probably better as a bohemian fantasy: real life would probably be a #selfies #festival of the true kind. Again, perhaps this year's music might let people forget their online life for one moment and fully enjoy the experience of the festival .

Typically Dutch Autumn

Instead of the high fashion sets I usually do, I wanted to go for the more 'down to earth' Dutch variety. The stuff I was raised on,  or, actually the things that are quite the necessity over here during Autumn.

Een, you couldn't go around with huge storms and non-waterproof mascara. DejaVu is a brand that stays waterproof until you add lukewarm water.

Twee because most Dutch women feel the need to be casual and dressed at the same time: a sharp blazer will look good on jeans or with a dress, and this one can be paired with several items.

Drie because our mums will probably provided us with the flowers to make our home more cosy, or perhaps we bought them ourselves...Ofcourse in the colours that match Autumn.

Gloves will become a necessity soon with the colder weather, and what better option than Vier to get a pair in Vinyl: sexy & waterproof at the same time. I already got this pair : )

A bike, Duh. Vijf is in a sassy leopard print.

Zes, boots are a Dutch woman's staple! This Autumn the over-the-knee will be running around, but as the average Dutch woman wouldn't like to be too tacky. This pair still looks decent and is under 120EU; the stereotype. And to conclude with Zeven, an umbrella, but only a stormproof version from Senz.

Tartan is returning into the field. What I like about tartan is that it can be appropriated as the neo-grunge/punk thing to wear, of the upper-lady manner. Either way, there are some gorgeous items on the highstreet, but also consider Highland shops (online also) for a better choice and perhaps a more genuine feel towards it.
