I am not one to jump on every trend that goes by. It’s too expensive and too wasteful to try to keep your wardrobe up to date in the trend department.

It’s after you have built that solid foundation, that you can start picking what trends you would like to sprinkle in that season.

If I find a pair I love I tend to keep and use them for many, many years,

I am sitting here by the window listening to the wind howl and the balcony door vibrate because it has been windy as hell today. Everything is much more intense on this side of the building.
