Inspiration to dream

Posted on by

Dream and love the daily luxury in your life 💙. If you don’t love some things in your life, try to change them by choosing a life you dream of, all the things you hope for and the daily luxury you love. Whether it is something small or big, you only need to start somewhere. It may take baby steps to find your dream job, the love of your life, to learn a new language, to travel the world, to become a more beautiful and healthy person. Do what you love, go on an adventure and go with the waves. Dreams, love and hope will be all that you need in your suitcase (and some beautiful clothes and style, ofcourse).

This is a love note to you. I’ve collected these beautiful lines to draw inspiration from to start the new year with new dreams, love and hope. Namasté.

💙 Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive.

💙 Follow your dreams and intuition. They know the way.

💙 Il dolce far niente.

💙 Your love is one in a million_ Aaliyah.

💙 I love you to the moon and back.

💙 In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

💙 I wish I had done everything on earth with you_ F.Scott Fitzgerald in the Great Gatsby.

💙 Little things, make big days_ Isabel Marant.

💙 Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heart.

💙 Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten_ Lilo and Stitch.

💙 When words are both true and kind, they can change the world_ Buddha.

💙 My mind and my heart are my temples. My religion is kindness_ Dalai Lama.

💙 If you get, give. If you learn, teach_ Maya Angelou.

💙 No mud, no lotus_ Thich Nhat Hahn.

💙 Be the change you wish to see in the world_ Gandhi

💙 Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world_ Nelson Mandela

💙 Dreams come a size too big, so we can grow into them.

💙 The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing_ Socrates.

💙 If you can dream it, you can do it_ Walt Disney.

The winter is a beautiful season because of xmas! The Christmas season is all about love and giving.

Winter luxury 💙

This winter is going to be a cool season. The beautiful winter luxuries that are in store now make you forget about summer and long for the snow. My wishlist of winter luxuries is a long one. First of all, I would love to have the lovely, winter beige Choo high top trainers and beautiful, black Valentino boots with decorative studs (Valentino, Choo, Shoebaloo). A beautiful backpack or bucket bag are the coolest bags of the season (Valentino, Liu jo, Patrizia Pepe, Paul Warmer). Secondly, the lovely Liu jo jeans and the Liu jo down jackets from the Les Plumes collection are beautiful basic items for all your winter looks (Liu jo). The warm and comfy cashmere dresses and sweaters in winter white and lovely beige are essential winter luxuries (Repeat Cashmere, Liu jo, MaxMara, Twin-Set, Patrizia Pepe). For beautiful, dewy skin you need the delicious soft Dior sorbet cream and Dior serum sorbet against the winter cold. A lovely winter makeup in beige and brown tones, inspired by the nineties look, can be created by a little Dior nude air foundation, Dior bronzer and the Dior sunkissed nailpolish (Dior).

Summer sadness

Posted on by
Reply

So while the summer is coming to an end, a feeling of summer sadness comes to me. As the schools are welcoming back the kids, offices are back in running again, and the memories of summer vacations fade away, the summer season seems to be over again. Before you know it, you are in school again or back in the office, back in the daily rhythm of life. Don’t give up on the cool summer feeling, though, this easy-like-Sunday-morning-sitting-on-the-dock-of-the-bay kind of feeling. The summer days are not over yet, and need to be spent near the sea, on the beach, and in the city parks. When the days are still warm and the evenings are becoming cool and crisp, you can still wear a lovely tee dress with a denim or leather jacket (Liu jo, Armani Jeans, Nolita), a warm cashmere knit dress over bare legs (Patrizia Pepe, Repeat Cashmere, Twin-Set), or beautiful Liu jo jeans with an off shoulder sweater (Liu jo, Maje). Enjoy an ice cream and late summer dinners on the beach. I feel a little comforted by the beautiful fall and winter collections that this feeling of summer sadness will pass, and make way for excitement for the cool season to come 💙.

Those were the days

I remember my daily luxury when I was growing up in the nineties. I remember when I bought my first cd, Crazy sexy cool by TLC. I loved Aaliyah, TLC, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friends, Blossom, Sleepless in Seattle and Clueless. I loved the comfort and coolness of the nineties, the long hair, natural makeup, tees and jeans. The natural nonchalance of those days is a source of inspiration for the present. These are your daily luxuries inspired by the nineties for the cool season to come:

  1. Denim and a tee, cool and distressed. A mini denim skirt is perfect 💙. The cool denim and tees from the Liu jo collection are beautiful! (A Liu jo store is opening in the PC Hooftstraat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in the beginning of September 💙)
  2. Soft sweaters (Armani Jeans, Patrizia pepe)
  3. Casual dresses in soft cotton and cashmere (Repeat Cashmere, Isabel Marant, Maje)
  4. Long hair, don’t care.
  5. Natural makeup in beige tones (Dior)
  6. Denim jacket and down jacket (Liu jo, Patrizia pepe)
  7. Black and white tees and tops with a beautiful lace bra (La Perla, Eres)
  8. High top sneakers (Jimmy Choo trainers are classic)
  9. Sporty and casual styled anything. Dress it all down with a baseball cap, tee, denim and sneakers.

When you spend your summer in a beautiful city, you need a lovely summer collection of daily luxuries to keep you cool in the streets. A lovely outfit in white, beige and peach will delight your summer soul. A beautiful Liu jo jeans with an off shoulder top in white or beige or a macramé top is a perfect summer ensemble for chique days in town (Liu jo, Twin-set, Mango, Patrizia pepe). A little lace is beautiful for summer, too (Liu jo, Twin-set, Intimissimi, Isabel Marant, Maje) 💙. Don’t forget to wear romantic earrings and bracelets in the shape of hearts or butterflies to make you look as sweet as a macaron (Tiffany’s, Patrizia pepe). A beige leather bucket bag (Mansur Gavriel) and a pair of heels or slippers (Choo) will complement your classy look. A fresh summer hair cut with a dewy make up is all you need for your beautiful summer style (Dior nude). Dressed in white and beige cashmere, cotton, lace and denim, you will feel like a summer breeze in the city 💙.

Summer lace

On a beautiful summer day the only daily luxuries you need are ice creams, watermelon and summer lace 💙🍉. Soft summer lace, in white, beige and blue, is an essential summer luxury for sensuous days. Summer lace makes you feel sensual, cool and comfy and looks beautiful at home, on the beach, and in the city. For sleepy days at home you can wear beautiful lace lingerie in white, blue and turquoise (La Perla, Intimissimi and Victoria’s secret). The lovely off shoulder tops and knit dresses are this summer’s essentials for beachy days and chique days running around town (Isabel Marant, Maje, Liu jo, Pinko, Patrizia pepe, Twin-set). Summer lace is beautiful on bare skin and looks romantic and chic. Wear your hair down and take someone’s breath away with your lovely summer look.

I got it from my mama

Do you know how to create a beautiful style that is one in a million? Try to create a basic collection of beautiful daily luxuries that you love 💙

💙 A collection is a personal investment. Try to invest in beautiful items that will become your new favorite jeans, the softest knitwear and tees that you want to wear all day, and those shoes that you don’t want to take off anymore. It is a little bit like Italian cooking, because you only need a few basic ingredients from the best quality to make a perfect pizza margherita or caprese salad. Create a beautiful collection that is based on your favorite daily luxuries, for example lovely Liu jo jeans, Choo’s for chique days and nights, and soft knitwear and tops from Patrizia pepe, Twin-set and Repeat Cashmere. 

💙 Imitatio and aemulatio. Base your beautiful summer and winter collections on daily luxuries that you love. Create a collection of basic and beautiful pieces. You can find these timeless items by following your intuition and inner style. Yes, you got it from your mama, too. Which clothes do you love in magazines and in fashion blogs? Is it the combination of classic and cool? Then you can upgrade your beautiful Liu jo jeans with a cashmere top and heels, or you can wear your lovely knit dress with a denim jacket to dress it down. Try to find the style you love, and do better by creating your own.

💙 Mix it up. Combine beautiful items and create a classy and cool look. You can wear your favorite daily luxuries in numerous ways and styles. Combine classic and casual items, different textures like denim and cashmere, and create a calm ton-sur-ton look or mix beautiful colour combinations like beige and blue.

Liu jo is my beautiful daily luxury 💙. Liu jo comes originally from Carpi, Italy. The Marchi brothers introduced the beautiful Liu jo and Liu jo jeans collections in 1995. The beautiful denim, soft knitwear and cool tees made me fall in love with Liu jo. The quality of the Liu jo clothing collections is beautiful. The combination of classic and cool is one in a million. The lovely Liu Jo jeans will become your favorite pair of jeans. Liu jo is one of the basic things that I would take with me to a desert island. Yes, it is a love story 💙. I wear my Liu jo jeans and shirts on a daily basis. To fall in love with Liu jo, you can take a look at the online boutique at www.liujo.com. The baby and girls collection is also too sweet!
