Top five things about summer?
- Feeling the sun on your skin
- Being able to wear shorts every single day
- Wearing the Charlotte Kan Multi Wrap Dress to a hot cocktail
party
- Spending time on the beach with people I love
- Fresh fruit
Shoes, bags or jewels?
In the summer I'm a jewel addict.. I love to wear bohemian, feather
and gold jewelry on a hot day.
What have been the highlights of
your blogging career so far?
I have done many fun things like fashion week, Play&Pose,
interesting internships and events But most important.. I just love
to entertain en inspire my readers. And when my readers are happy
it feels like a highlight to me.
What is the hardest look to pull
off?
Wearing a jumpsuit. I'm in love with jumpsuits but with my hight
(I'm only 65 inch) and curved shapes it's not always easy to find
the perfect jumpsuit.
My favourite piece from Charlottes'
essential 5 for summer is...
The Halterpants.
Top second hand from Melbourne, Australia.
Shirt, Skirt worn with tie at front, Charlotte Kan
Shoes: Dries Van Noten, Antwerp, Belgium
Watch: Cartier. A gift from my parents for my 25th birthday.
Bag: Second hand from Melbourne, Australia
Chanel colour #473, the perfect red polish. Kiehl’s roll on
perfume. Plastic bow tie ring in nude.
A good secondhand book.
And if you wonder how the proces of designing such a shirt
goes...look at the youtube video below. It reminds me of how I
search for shapes to use in the collection. Just trying things on
and playing and posing ;)
Is there anything more versatile than
the utilitarian jumpsuit? From it's
practical origins in World War II to it's latest fashion
incarnation, the jumpsuit
has thankfully gone through some
feminine modifications: the cleavage lowered, waist
defined and the hem cuffed or tapered.
The jumpsuit being the two legged equivalent of a dress
is glamourous and practical -- except for when you
need to go to the bathroom- option for the modern women. Which
is why we had to include it in the Essential Five for Summer.
Today's essential piece is the multi wrap dress:
versatile and chic it can take you from day to night, work to play
and everything in between.
A VERY short history on the wrap dress:
Wrapping became tradition back in the
1970s when Diane Von Furstenberg launched a dress that was worn
like a jacket, two parts crossed over each other and tied at the
waist. At the time it was genius solution for working
women who needed something that was chic and easy-to-wear. The wrap
dress rose to cult status amongst the ladies of the night at Studio
54 and the ladies that lunch on Park Avenue. Versatile
indeed.Over
time, Diane von Furstenberg had sold
more than 5 million wrap dresses - that's a lot of stretch
jersey!
