Warm boots and cardigans

wrap cardigan Monki

Now that temperatures are dropping in Holland, I changed part of my wardrobe. Thin cotton dresses and shoes made room for woollen cardigans and boots. I found a lovely grey wrap cardigan with leather pockets and a pair of high shoes at Monki. It really is a store for teenagers, but even for forty somethings it is worth having a look now and then.

One of my favourite brands is European Culture. I have several dresses by them. They not only make stylish clothes. They are very comfortable to wear too. The red dress on the last two photos has a vintage feel to it. It reminds me of the clothes Joan wears in Mad Men. Have you seen the series? If not, you should. If only for the amazing costumes by Janie Bryant.

One of the things I wanted to show you is MyPaperBag by Ramon van Middelkoop. My eldest daughter bought it recently. I think it is really super! The bag looks like it is made of paper, but is made of a high quality leather instead. What is special about the bag too, is that it is Fair trade. So the money goes to the right people.

Wish you a lovely day from a cold Rotterdam.
