Let me start by asking, are you a woman who feels most drawn to gray, black and khaki?

August 20, 2010
Custo Barcelona at Berlin Fashion Week

Custo Barcelona is the kind of brand that you either love or hate. Their use and mix of colours and patterns is not to everyones taste. I get that.  I used to belong to the latter group myself. Their collections just weren’t speaking to me at all. Until one day, not too long ago, I [...]

Inima collection

I found a great new look by matching my black, sheer lace blouse with a stripe-top underneith. This cool combination creates a perfect balance using two pretty striking contrasts.

Do you still remember those Barbour and oilskin jackets? I used to have one when I was young, and oh how I remember feeling embarrassed to wear it.
