Have a happy monday

"Your idea of bliss is to wake up on a monday morning knowing you haven't a single engagement for the enitre week. You are cradled in white paper cocoon tied up with typewriter ribbon." (Edna Ferber)

If for you that is not the case and you have a full schedule ahead, a good way to start your week is to let your inner beast out by wearing some animal prints. Leopard prints were everywhere on the catwalk this season: dresses, blouses , coats .... It's difficult to resist this trend. I especially adore our Belgian designer Dries Van Noten 's gorgeous leopard coat.

If you are lucky and in Paris at the moment, don't miss his fantastic boutique on the Seine ( 7 Quai Malaquais, Paris) , named one of the most beautifull stores in Europe . The interior is based around his favourite colour, imperial yellow and differs from his store in Antwerp (also on top of every Japanese tourist wishlist)  

If you missed Swedish brand "Acne"'s fashionshow ( womenswear s/s 2011)  at Kensington Palace live on the internet ,  you can still watch their show footage at www.acnestudios.com or visit their store (at Lombardenvest ) in Antwerp. Acne is great for laid-back chic dresses, ideal to prevent a mondaymorning, what am I gonna wear, crisis (because I was on the internet all night checking out catwalks and catwalks .........)   

have a happy monday xoxo
