PERSONAL NOTE

What a week it has been. First days as a citizen of Haarlem, cycling to the sea in 15 minutes and enjoying the little shops and boutiques - not to mention starting my first fulltime job and discovering my new workplace. It has been a rollercoaster, and STYLONYM has suffered from that as I've been everything but able to update and take care of the blog. Sorry! I guess I need time to settle, get used to the new place and rythm and work out what I like to do and how .. For STYLONYM this means a short 'on hold' period, but I sincerely hope you'll bear with me - my new environment is so inspiring in terms of fashion and design, and I can't wait to discover and share it with you all. Just need to settle first - unpack boxes, makes tours in the local Ikea and, most important, clear my head. But I promise you - I'll be back!

Love,

Jessica 

BLOGGING FAVORITES

A while ago, I put together another board on the STYLONYM Pinterest: Outfits. After some time, it evolved to be a 'draw together' of my favorite outfits from my favorite bloggers. So what better who to introduce you to my bloggers' hotlist, by showing you my favorite outfits from them? Enjoy - and have a great Thursday!

1. Figtny. A blog I discovered recently: quite laidback, minimal and cozy if I had to describe it. Pictures are deployed rather than words, which I genuinely appreciate. 

2. MyDubio. What you'll find here is how to take minimal to the next level in terms of fashion, interior & DIY. Also, Joyce has a great taste in fashion, has the guts to put together not-so-obvious/ interesting yet beautiful outfits ánd is down to earth. A definite favorite. 

3. Fashion Me Now. Also one of my latest discoveries, but not per sé in the fashionblog categorie - this blog is much more than that. Lucy has a great sense of style and does fashion, travel, interior in a way I haven't seen before - right up my alley. 

4. Raspberry & Rouge. A blog I keep on coming back to, because Rebecca's style is just so diverse and unique at the same time - I like how she dares to combine pieces or pulls off an item that I wouldn't think about wearing. In other words, I appreciate her guts and the inspiration it brings forward!

5. Look de Pernille. My Scandinavian baken of inspiration, oh yes. This woman styles outfits like no one else, providing tons of inspiration, and introduces me to the next best things - often from Scandinavia. 

6. Camille over the Rainbow. Fun writing combined with a great ánd unique sense of style - a favorite from the first moment I stepped into the world of fashionblogs. 

INSPIRATION MONDAY: SPORTS

Currently having a major crush on the editorial below: Oversized x Minimal x Sport .. how good can it get? This editorial from Flare Magazine does the trick, providing all the more inspiration for the aftersummer days to come. Happy Monday! Pictures from the Fashionography

WEEKEND

Yeak, weather transitions aren't my cup of tea. Feels like we're already somewhere near the end of the year, doesn't it? Completely in line with this development, I will be spending my weekend with a cold. The moodboard below reveals how exactly: with loads of tea (Maroccan Mint!!) and pillows/ blankets, some shopping (my favorite store Zoe and Lola went into 70% off sale, this Filippa K Tencil Shirt is on my list - not to talk about the new H&M Fashion Week collection and the Zara collection), snuggling and some proper food - salmon sandwiches to begin with. And if all goes well a bit of swimming too, on Sunday.

What are your plans for the weekend? Hope you'll have a good one!

INSPIRATION MONDAY: WARM KNITS

After a truely wonderful summer, the first hints of autumn have now arrived .. and yeak, I wasn't ready for that. I've got 2 more weeks of free time left in which I had hoped to change houses, have many dinner dates and do some running - in the sun, that is. But it doesn't look like that will be happening, which in turn results in this Inspiration Monday post with a beautiful warm editorial from Vogue Russia: you will be needing these comfortable, warm and gorgeous knits very soon, I'm afraid ..

SORRY FOR THE SILENCE

Sorry for the silence! My life has been pretty chaotic lately, with an ultimate high being the signing of our new rental contract for a stunning place in Haarlem just 2 days ago. We're moving out, off to new adventures! In the scope of the next 2 weeks we will leave Enschede (eastern part of the Netherlands) for Haarlem (coastal area near Amsterdam) and move into the street you see above. It will be just in time to start my first grownup job on September 1st .. 

IF ONLY - TOPNOTCH WISHLIST

If only. It's a phrase I use quite common - whenever I run into the most beautiful pieces of clothing/ shoes/ etc which are too far out of my budget comfortzone. But no complaining here, yours truly knows that being a 25yearold university graduate who starts her first real job in September ánd keeps a wellthought purchase regime shapes opportunities for some serious designer purchases in the future. Untill then I keep on dreaming with the wishlist below. In case you're well ahead of the dreaming phase, click below to shop!

Saint Laurent Leather Ankle Boots / Joseph Cashmere Skirt / Joseph Striped Silk Cashmere Tunic / Acne Studios Skinny Leather Pants / Equipment Signature Blouse / Whistles Ziggy Leather Jacket / Acne Studios Leather Sneakers / Saint Laurent High Rise Skinny Jeans / Givenchy Medium Antigona Bag / Nike AF1 Sneakers / Frends Leather Headphones / Marni Wool Crepe Top / Theory Crepe Blazer / Etoile Isabel Marant Beanie / Saint Laurent Sunglasses

INSPIRATION MONDAY: CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Copenhagen Fashionweek has came and went, the September'issues of our favorite fashionmagazines are making their appearance in store and in a few weeks time we'll be wrapping our heads around the new SS15 collections during the Big 4 of fashionweeks. Pretty much to consume, right? In the current 'calm before the storm', I feel some sort of tendency to cling onto the quiet, minimal and the natural, as in this editorial from The Edit by Net-A-Porter with Dutch supermodel Lara Stone. Love the serenity of the pictures, can't say otherwise - and I enjoy it even more knowing that not too long from now the fashionrollercoaster will take off, again. Hope you'll enjoy it too - have a great Monday!

INSPIRATION MONDAY: CASUAL CHIC

Grabbed back to both an older editorial and an older wisdom today - how fashion is wellserved by a bit of balance, shown by this editorial from Vogue Russia September 2012. It's beyond doubt one of my favorite editorials because it flawlessly combines two styles that essentially can be eachothers' opposites: casual and chic. This editorial captures both equally, creating the perfect balance. Happy Monday! Pictures from Studded Hearts 

SNEAKERS

Yours truly has always been a Sneaker addict - I suppose my weak ankles and neverending runningaround have done the trick to begin with. Also with the uprise of new comfortable trends such as the Bircks, the crisp white Nike sport socks in slippers and the plimsolls, my focus on everything low and comfy in the lalaland of shoes is growing. Hence today an overview of my current favorites, both some newer designs and some good old basics - all from the ASOS webshop. Enjoy!

INSPIRATION MONDAY: FALL SILHOUETTES, FITS AND LAYERS

Fell for the silhouettes, fits and layers of the editorial below - can't say anything else. Thinking of Fall 2014, how perfect is the editorial below from Vogue UK August 2014? Have a great Monday! Pictures from the Fashionography
