Buffalo

Simply Summer!

Since we all know that the dutch summer can be a little... erg... let’s call it moody, I suppose a little reminder that it’s actually still summer can’t do any harm.That time of the year, where you wake up to a cloudless sky (the only thing “blue” on your mind), 30+ degrees and and the drama of choice which barely existing dress to wear.

Needless to say that it’s also almost too hot to heel, so all ladies opting for flats to avoid Elephant feet in Gazelle sandals are excused. Well, my heels today are Buffalo’s and with a big crocodiles tear I think back of the beautiful summery day I wore them. Don’t we all need a reminder from time to time that it’s summer somewhere?

H&M

The laid back Cool

Yes, I saw it coming. I was warned (fashion signs!), I was alarmed, I was prepared. Or actually, I was so not prepared to be tip-toeing (still in heels) around this summer's hottest trend, the *deep sigh*: advanced flat (aka grown up and pimped orthopaedic shoe).

When Heidi Klum came up with her first edition of crystallized Birkenstocks back in the 90s I could still turn a blind eye hoping that the lapse of taste would be temporary. And certainly I tried not to be blinded (aka totally eye and heel insulted) when I spotted certain creatures sporting the persistent “Adilette”, which already found its way into fashion magazines last season. Brrrrrrrrrr!

But what to do when flatforms are praised from Elle to Vogue as the new cool and promoted so fashionably? *Deep sigh again*: you try of course, even though for a heelalista this means lowering standards quite literally. Tricked everybody though because far away from home (nobody knows me) and on a boat (no heels allowed) everybody just thought I was so “laid back”. Now you delete that picture of me in flats from your long-term memory forever. This never happened and will just stay between you and me, OK?

ZARA

Feels like summer!

Winter mood is always “nesting-bird” chic and definitely a comfort to someone suffering from fashion Tourette (new season, new colors, new outfit, new shoes, newnewnew). Muted colors, feathers and fur, PJ trousers and who cares if you hide your toes in Birkenstocks (socks still on) hibernating on the couch with loads of wine.

With the first rays of sun though, not only flowers are blooming but the fashion spirit awakens again, and after the annual panic attack (NEED TO WAX, NEED PEDI!) the desire to slip into open toes and sleeveless shirts reappears, ditching the winter coat for a very long time. YES!
Except that some of this years summer trends are quite winterly: rusty tones (70-ties), feathers on jackets (Burberry), shawls everywhere (Rock star attitude). Sorrynotsorry said all designers and I don't care either, as long as I can take the most appreciated accessory of mine everywhere: the SUN!

Will refuse that Birkenstock trend though which some idiot decided was hot in SS2015. Will save it for next winter (new season, new outfit, new shoes, newnewnew!!!!!!!!).

Colors of joy

Fashion is all about color, texture, structure and shape (and the mixture of it) so I guess it’s fair enough to say that- while the fashion circus went to Italy, I had my own (not so fashionable, but still) fabulous moments of color, texture, structure and shape while relaxing a week in France.

The combination of a bright blue sky with a quirky composition of pink and orange -the only heel I brought along- (that’s a lie of course but you figured that out already I suppose...) will simply never get out of style: Colors of joy!

Then add the texture of a a calm silky swimming pool in front of you, a crispy beach towel beneath you and a sip of Campari melting in your mouth. Combined with the structure of meadow moistened with dew - which makes it actually impossible to wear any heel (it’s a holiday after all) and accessorized with some fun plastic devices (I predict a comeback in summer 2015) and you are... well, in France on the set of my very own fashionable moment of the week.

About the shape: well, actually it was all about sabotaging shape (body wise, you know what I mean). But who can say no to saucisson de Lyon (the best!), French cheeses and pâté, croissants, fresh baguette and way too much red wine. But hello: as long as I can balance myself on 12 inches still..... who cares! Au revoir!

United Nude

Beauty United, United Beauty

Back from London, where I visited United Nude's stunning flagship store, am still twirling in Rem D’s genius design: the Hybrid shoe, have barely taken them off since. It’s one thing to be spoiled with a pair of designer heels, another though to fall in love with them over and over again by wearing them. Certainly the diamond-shaped surface of the brightly colored piece of art helps win over the heart of a heel princess but it’s the comfort really (soft rubber... who would have guessed) which makes them an every day summer staple ready to turn heads wherever you go.

I knew about Rem’s architectural background and also about the more private story of wanting to win back the heart of an admired lady by downsizing big constructions to the most tiny and delicate pieces of design: a woman's heel. I’m almost happy that he got his heart broken back then: with his timeless and visionary talent he has certainly won over mine now.

Thank you Rem for making my (heel) day!

Hugo Boss

Hello Summer!

Sun is dimming its light to a subtle lavender color and small chuckling wave makes the lake in front of me look like a dyed deep blue plissé Isabel Marant skirt (summer collection 2014). The passing little ducklings in their young fluffy plumage would make a fantastic marabu bolero (OK... duckling bolero than...) for next winter and my attempts to keep the last candle burning (summery breeze!) to be able to type are to no avail as is it to neglect the gravity of my eyelids after a long relaxed boat ride in the sun.

When typing this, it’s the first long summer weekend in the Netherlands and I have done nothing but eat and drink with friends for 72 hours solid, dancing on boats and in summer bouts of rain, cycling across the city at 4 in the morning, sleeping in and enjoying life.

Only some simple snapshots, almost no running in heels, no fuss about dress codes, just decadent nothingness (and thinking of those duckling feathers admittedly: they would make fantastic boots too.... )
Please enjoy the official summer opening and shoe yourself, I’ve gone tanning!

Love you all, happy (off) heel greetings!
