1st Advent

Oh, how I love advent! I know, I know you might say that the “most quiet” time of the year is also the most hectic and stressful, but I just love advent Sundays! I mean, it’s the only time of the year when it's considered odd NOT to be eating as many cookies as you can and when Glühwein becomes something like an afternoon tea. It’s also the time to lean back, reflect on what’s important in life (Heels) and gather your dearest around you to spend some quality time (Heels).

Most importantly though, is writing the most urgent letter of the year: that one containing your wishlist for the big day (24th), that one which will be sent straight to Santa. To get the mild, wise and (hopefully) grateful Mr. S in a good mood, decided on an “Advent-special”, sharing what truly makes me happy, but who knows? Maybe you want those delicate, sparkling and MUST HAVE “Xmas-ish” Elisabetta Franchi heels or the classic YSL tote (matches a lot of other presents!) too?

Have good news for you. Don’t send your letter to Santa. Send it to Paul Warmer instead.

Confessions of a Shoe Girl

Have a confession to make and am a little nervous about doing so.
See the thing is: I’m having an affair. I was reluctant to tell, but it’s actually been going on for a while.

Am totally hooked and have helplessly surrendered. Unfortunately, our monthly rendezvous have stopped and I find myself developing a serious twitter-habit, continuously checking for any updates or news, longing for my next fix. I think it’s time to come out of the (fashion) closet and confess my love.

It’s Mademoiselle (aka Stacey Duguid, aka secret writer of Elle’s column “Confessions of an Elle Girl”). And actually it’s her writing that is the object of my affection (something to fall for so easily). What comes out of her pen is witty, never mundane and so entertaining that I have collected every page she’s ever written.

For years I bought Elle, only to immediately flip to the last page to tune in to soak up the latest as Mademoiselle stumbled through life in Nicholas Kirkwoods, Charlotte Olympias and Isabelle Marants (tempted to high five her on all her heel-choices). Have had to quit cold turkey since the column stopped though.
Dear Stacey: not only am I impressed by your work, I am completely addicted.
Please write that book of yours: need fresh supply of my favorite drug.

Sincerely,
your addict

Keeping up with the Kardashians

Each time I come along on one of these Ameland-weekends, I find myself more than a little envious of the “massive talent” gathered here.

Everyone can play an instrument, DJ or sing… I even find myself envying the parents for their obvious parenting talent (judging by their lovely kids).
And I’m pretty sure hitting the tambourine (more or less in time) doesn’t really add to the party…
*sigh*

But then I thought of the Kardashians. They seem to live a happy life despite their lack of any talent. So I am curious: can I at least keep up the Kardashian style for the remainder of my time here in the middle of nowhere?

Well, I’ve already made a start in being famous for nothing on the island (you should have seen people’s faces as we were shooting on a horse in glitter, lace and 12 inch heels). But just to be sure, I talk boyfriend in to doing some “X-rated” things, film it and accidentally hand the tape to the company’s PR.

The rest of the day I eat (well, someone needs to work on a butt here!), study the internet (check if anyone has written about my X-tape yet) and do my nails while reading an article about new shoe designer Elisabetta Franchi who just released her brand new shoe collection.
Luckily, I already have a pair (of course my favorite shoe store was the first to have them in stock): the perfect choice to end a fantastic weekend, waving Ameland goodbye.
Satisfied, I jump on my private plane, pretty sure I kept up with the Kardashians very well.
