Moving, Books & Dreams

I must admit that I underestimated this whole moving project. Being a perfectionist makes me consider every inch of my apartment and which wonderful things I can experiment with. However, this is not the main reason why I have been absent for weeks. Apparently, it takes a month for me to get internet access here. Oh, joy! But don't fret (if any of you are fretting that is!). I have found a gorgeous, little café not far from my place with free internet access (huzzah!). Meaning that you can expect more frequent posts.

When that is said, not having internet access has allowed me to re-discover my beloved books. I have been especially obsessed with the amazing book that my boyfriend got me for my last birthday, "Fashion: 150 Years of Couturiers, Designers, Labels" by Charlotte Seeling. It is so wonderfully time-consuming, and allows my thoughts to drift off into gorgeous dreams. 

Are there any fashion books you would recommend?

Jessica Stam's Apartment

At the moment, I am in the process of moving to a new apartment which I am head over heels in love with. For the past few months, I have been searching the internet for great interior sites and inspiring images of living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. One of my main sources of inspiration has been these photos of Jessica Stam's East Village apartment. Or, to be exact, one of my main sources for my ultimate interior dream; the incredible Maroccan door. I would give so much to have that door in my apartment, but even though I don't, I am still planning a Jessica Stam inspired vibe for the new place; a mix of Maroccan elements together with more simple and glamorous pieces.

Saturday Streetstyle

Apologies for being one day late with the Saturday Streetstyle post. Really, this post should now be called Sunday Streetstyle, but I can't ruin the tradition. So, better late than never. Right now, I am loving the combination of lace, especially white lace, together with denim, as seen in the third photo. Also, I adore the 80s vibe in photo no. 7. The white jeans together with the leather jacket is fantastic, and I can't help but get a feeling of seeing Olivia Newton-John from Grease.

Which outfit is your favourite?

The Photographer

Jessica Stam ranks high when it comes to my favourite models, and this editorial from the January 2011 edition of Vogue China shows why. I admire the way she often is able to portray a strong, confident character in her editorials, and her blue eyes are extremely powerful. I have this vision of how a young, successful photographer looks like, as I have always seen it as an exciting and glamorous occupation, and Jessica Stam's editorial fulfills this vision perfectly.
