The jungle holds a certain power over me, it relaxes me in a way nothing else does. It gives me the feeling of being a visitor in a different world, where I’m only allowed to observe the life around me, a passive spectator. In central Costa Rica, deep in the cloud forrest next to the [...]

Vintage Kimono, Wasteland L.A Fall is my favorite season because you can have so much fun with layering. In winter I’m just wearing the same heavy coat day in day out and in summer it’s too hot, but when the leaves start to fall it’s the perfect time to experiment with outwear. I have been [...]

Ever since the end of summer, when I cleaned out my closet and realized I only own two skirts, I’ve been looking for a classic 1970′s A-line skirt in either denim, velvet or corduroy. This type of skirt is just so perfect for chilly fall days as the material is a bit thicker and it’s [...]

I have for long been wanting to do more video posts here on Styleabaad, I think they’re a fun addition to regular outfit posts! After my last video post I felt especially inspired but somehow the summer just went by without having any time to do one. But last weekend, in this perfect weather we’ve been [...]

How many shades of burgundy, purple and red do you think there are in my closet? Not enough apparently! I should probably not buy more clothes in these colors, but how could I resist this vintage patchwork blouse that I recently found at Beacon’s Closet? It just seemed to have my name written all over [...]

Last Saturday when I dropped by the huge vintage store Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg I picked up this amazing vintage Moschino jacket. I don’t own many jackets like this so I was thrilled when I realized the fit was perfect and the condition excellent! This is such a perfect jacket for fall and when it [...]

On the top of my list over best transitional pieces right now is definitely the kimono. As mornings and evenings are starting to get cooler while it can be pretty hot in the sun in daytime, the kimono is the perfect piece for fall. Not only does it instantly give you that glamorous yet laid [...]
