Elegant Summer Cocktail Dresses I’ll Wear on Repeat

By |2026-07-19T20:37:00+02:00July 19th, 2026|Style, Travel, Wardrobe|

There are certain dresses that instantly make you feel ready for summer. The kind you reach for when you're heading to a long lunch overlooking the sea, enjoying cocktails on a terrace, attending a gallery opening or dining under the stars on a warm evening. For me, the perfect summer cocktail dress strikes a balance between elegance and ease. It should feel sophisticated without being overdone. Feminine without being overly revealing. And comfortable enough to wear from late afternoon until well after sunset. I've never been drawn to dresses that only work for a single occasion. Instead, I look [...]

Elegant summer sandals I’ll wear all season

By |2026-07-19T20:39:41+02:00July 19th, 2026|Artist Life, Style, Travel, Wardrobe|

There are a few items in my wardrobe that I reach for every summer without even thinking about it. Elegant sandals with a small heel are one of them. I have always loved a refined sandalette with a kitten heel. They're feminine without trying too hard, comfortable enough to wear all day and elegant enough for almost any occasion. They slip on in seconds, instantly making even the simplest summer outfit feel polished. When temperatures rise, comfort becomes just as important as style. If you're anything like me, your feet tend to swell a little on warm days. That's [...]

A slower side of Rotterdam that I never get tired of

By |2026-07-18T19:13:50+02:00July 18th, 2026|Artist Life, Culture, Travel|

There are many reasons I'm proud to call myself a Rotterdammer. Rotterdam is known for its striking architecture, its entrepreneurial spirit and its ever-changing skyline. But the Rotterdam I love most is found in the quieter moments. In neighbourhoods where people take their time, where local makers gather, and where a simple Saturday morning can feel like a small celebration of everyday life. One of those places is Rotterdamse Oogst, a weekly farmers' market held every Saturday on Noordplein. It isn't somewhere I visit every weekend, which is perhaps why it always feels like a little treat. Every now [...]

Why the Pinacoteca di Brera is worth visiting in Milan

By |2026-07-13T17:56:35+02:00July 13th, 2026|Art, Artist Life, Culture, Travel|

Whenever I visit a new city, I try to spend at least a few hours in one of its museums. Not because I expect every museum to become a favourite, but because art tells you something about the culture, history and values of a place. During my weekend in Milan, that museum was the Pinacoteca di Brera. Housed in the magnificent Palazzo di Brera, the museum is one of Italy's most important collections of Italian painting. The building itself is worth the visit. Originally founded as a Jesuit college in the sixteenth century, it later evolved into a centre for [...]

Visiting Villa Necchi Campiglio: art, architecture & House of Gucci in Milan, Italy

By |2026-07-12T22:50:39+02:00July 12th, 2026|Artist Life, Culture, Interior, Travel|

Did you know some scenes from House of Gucci were filmed inside this villa? Villa Necchi Campiglio was one of the highlights of my trip to Milan. I've always been fascinated by architecture, especially the elegant homes of the 1930s, beautiful interiors and Art Deco design. But I'm equally fascinated by innovation. Not just today's technology, but the ideas and inventions that were decades ahead of their time. Built in the 1930s, this villa was remarkably modern, featuring central heating, one of Italy's earliest residential air-conditioning systems, a private swimming pool and even a tennis court. I've also always [...]
