SUMMER LAYERING. Never imagined I would be going barelegged mid april but the weather here in NY has been absolutely amazing these past two days! Even though it’s getting warm outside I still like to play around with layers and my trick for summer layering (besides wearing pieces made out of thin, airy fabrics) is to let my blazer or jacket hang over the shoulders, kind of like a cape. Super simple, yet chic and guaranteed to keep you from getting too hot in the summer sun!

BLAZER Andemiu (similar ones here & here). SHIRT Gina Tricot. LEATHER SKIRT old one from Zara (similar one here!). BAG Proenza Schouler (here). SUNGLASSES Céline.

NYC. This past weekend has been one of the most fun, yet exhausting ones in a really long time. We’ve managed to move into our new apartment here in New York, squeeze in two trips to Ikea, assemble all the furniture + unpack all of our luggage, and even though we’re still nowhere near done decorating the apartment, it’s already starting to feel like home. Every morning when I wake up and look out the window I have to pinch myself in the arm, just to make sure I’m not dreaming, but we’re actually, finally, living here and I couldn’t be happier!

COAT Bimba & Lola. SUNGLASSES Céline. SWEATER Dagmar (here). BAG Proenza Schouler (here). JEANS Topshop. SHOES Stuart Weitzman.

After searching through the jungle of over-ambitiously striped blazers that leave you with a slight feeling of vertigo, this one really caught my eye. Love the clean lines & the subtle bling of rhinestones scattered over the stripes!

NYC. Whenever Mattias and I shoot pictures for the blog, we always do a bunch of goofy photos that never see the light of day, until now. Yesterday when we were shooting this amazing coat from Nanette Lepore I decided to do some jumping shots just for fun and ended up liking them so much that I decided to post them instead. Now the million dollar question is; how could it take me 7 years of blogging to discover the awesomeness of jumping photos, and how do we make it a permanent feature on the blog?!
