My Calvins

Last week I was in Aarhus, Denmark, to work on my graduation project voor Artez and simultaneously to be able to spend New Years in another country (win-win). Another bonus was the fact that sale season had just started and that the Danes are quite generous with their sale percentages, in comparison to the Dutch that is (win-win-win?). Therefore it was just impossible to leave without bringing this beautiful dark-grey lacy Calvin Klein set home with me.

New in ADPT.

A few blogposts ago I already showed you some photos of the ADPT. showroom in Brande, Denmark and here are the items I brought home. As you can see in the photos above, I got a new grey sweat (a girl can never have too many comfy sweats right?!) and also a new denim shirt/jacket for my ever-growing denim collection. They are both of really thick quality and perfect for the colder days that are about to come.

In the looks above you can see how the guys at ADPT. styled the items for the coming winter collection - including many amazing jackets. Below you can see how I intend to wear the grey sweater, I already ordered a pair of dungarees so hopefully they'll fit and then I just have to wait till the baby blue coat is available.

Btw. I bought those black leather loafers last week and that means that I can finally tick them off my wishlist. Ever since seeing those studded Zara loafers two years ago I've been looking for a pair (the Zara ones were sold-out before I got the chance to grab a pair). Do you like the brand ADPT.? xx

Guide to better living

Finally bought this book! It has been on top of my wishlist for a really long time but somehow I always bought another book first. I'm glad that I have it now though! The book addresses living in cities around the world and how to improve the quality of your life. They show which cities are most interesting, why they are interesting and what it exactly is that they have to offer. It's an amazing book filled with inspiration! xx

At the ADPT. showroom in Denmark

As you might already have seen on my Instagram feed (@heritagemode), I visited the Bestseller showroom grounds in Brande, Denmark during my holidays. A few months ago I was at the Modefabriek in Amsterdam and there I came in contact with the international brand manager behind a new unisex brand ADPT. I got really enthusiastic seeing the beautiful, detailed items with which the brand is tapping into the current trends.

At the ADPT. showroom I saw the winter collection that will be available from December on. The philosophy of the brand implies that it is better to adapt (hence their name) in season by buying products that are designed in and for that moment. They have managed to develop a flexible, adaptive way of designing and producing with which they can easily respond to demands of the market. I really like this concept because as soon as a new trend emerges you want to shop for items that fit that style. ADPT. makes exactly that possible.

As mentioned above the collection contains many detailed items and the styles are comfortable and laid-back. The focus is put upon the materials, color choices, shapes and cuts. Therefore the items are of high quality and quite elegant while at the same time perfect for your everyday look. In the photos you can see a few of my favorites (those jackets!). You can shop the current collection at Zalando. How do you like it? xx

Cognac Leather Backpack from Skagen

Say hi to my amazing new leather backpack from Skagen Denmark!! For years I have been looking for a nice backpack - preferably leather - that fits my Macbook. Quite the challenge I'll tell you.. So last month, when on holiday, I fi-nal-ly found it. So let me introduce you to my new leather backpack. 

It's a cognac leather beauty with a special inside pocket for my laptop. It has extra pockets inside, on the front and on the back. The handles are nice and wear comfy and it is just perfect! Sorry for the photo spam but I couldn't resist taking photos of this beauty. Do you like it? xx

New in: Acne Jeans

Hereby I want to confess my addiction to denims. Yes I bought new ones.. well I somehow needed new jeans since I got stuck to a fence with my favorite pair. So yeah I'm now sporting a new look with a tiny hole on my shinbone (totally weird place so it looks off). That doesn't look so good, so I decided to search for a good replacement. I ended up buying two. Sale just started at my favorite Arnhem store Humanoid and I bought these two with 50% discount!

Normally I buy the Acne Flex jeans which has a slim fit and mid rise waist, but this time I bought a black pair of the Acne Skin model - mid waist, skinny, slightly cropped - and a pair of the Pin model - high rise, skinny fit - in a gorgeous blue color. I'm really addicted to Acne Jeans, I have had three pair so far and with these new ones I have five pair of their amazing jeans, can really recommend them! Shop yours here:

New In: Ray Ban Erica

Hereby I present to you my new sunnies! Have wanted these for a long time and last week I got them as a present. So happy with them! I already have a beautiful pair of vintage Mulberry sunnies, but the brown color of them doesn't really go well with many outfits. I prefer black sunglasses, so here they are. It's the Ray Ban Erica model with a matte black frame and black tinted glasses. What do you think of them? xx

New in: Lagoen bikini

Received a package with this lovely bikini last weekend. It's from the Dutch brand Lagoen, they did extensive research into the figure of Dutch women and designed different mix and match items based on it. I decided to pick this grey set; a bandeau top and bikini brief with ties on the side.

You can personalize your bikini by ordering beads in many different colors and materials. I ordered cognac colored wooden beads, as you can see in the photo above. Apart from the wooden ones I also added some white ones and an extra white tie for my bikini top, see below.

Can't wait to wear it, I'm ready for summer! Shop yours here. xx

Vagabond Flatforms

Something entirely new: sneakers. I have been looking for a decent pair of white flatform sneakers for a while now but somehow it was quite a challenge to find them. When I was in Berlin last month, we drove past the Arthur McGlen outlet and it was there that I bought those sneakers. They are from the Swedish brand Vagabond and I like the old-school style of these canvas shoes. I think they are perfect for spring and summer! xx

P.S. Now I'm going to eat the cake I baked earlier today (see Instagram @heritagemode) because it is my boyfriend's birthday!!

When in Berlin

When in Berlin one visits certain stores, such as COS, Muji and Voostore. Of course I couldn't go home without buying something. I bought a pair of trousers at COS, this amazing Playtype poster at Voostore (wanted to buy it for quite some time), a few little things at Muji and a funny book about Germans. xx
