Summer sadness

Posted on 16 August 2015 by nickybianca

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

Posted on 4 August 2015 by nickybianca

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:

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 💙)
Soft sweaters (Armani Jeans, Patrizia pepe)
Casual dresses in soft cotton and cashmere (Repeat Cashmere, Isabel Marant, Maje)
Long hair, don’t care.
Natural makeup in beige tones (Dior)
Denim jacket and down jacket (Liu jo, Patrizia pepe)
Black and white tees and tops with a beautiful lace bra (La Perla, Eres)
High top sneakers (Jimmy Choo trainers are classic)
Sporty and casual styled anything. Dress it all down with a baseball cap, tee, denim and sneakers.
