FASHION WEEK

I only recently found out that besides the Upper East Side Bonpoint store – on 69th and Madison – and the one in Soho, there’s actually also one all the way uptown; on the corner of 96 and Madison. With its large windows and high ceilings, it instantly became my favorite store of the three. Nothing’s wrong with the other two stores, but somehow the natural light makes it so beautiful in there. Anyway, so when we visited the store a few weeks back, in preparation for the upcoming Bonpoint Fall-Winter 2019 show, we did a little store tour with Stella, and selected some of her favorites looks. You have to wait a few more days to find out what those are, because James and Stella will be wearing this all in Paris coming week, but here’s already a little sneak peek of what’s coming!

For the fourth season in a row, I’m beyond excited to show you all the backstage and show photos of the Bonpoint children show, held in Paris during Haute Couture. However, I’m still way in deep editing everything, and making sure there’s a beautiful story lined up for you for this weekend. Until then, proud mother as I am, watch James and Stella walk the Bonpoint SS19 show!

Inspired by the colors of the world; prints from Africa to India, and of course, the loveliest smiles you will every see on a runway… Enter the universe of the cutest kids in fashion with the Bonpoint SS19 show, and stay tuned for much more of the show and our days in Paris…

Two days ago I asked you on my instastories “what do you want to know about our experience with James and Stella walking the Bonpoint Spring-Summer 2019 show, and our family trip to Paris?” and obviously most of you are interested in how it goes behind the scenes at a kids show, and of course, our recommendations for a family trip to Paris. Starting with the latter; going to Paris with two little kids isn’t really that different from going to Paris as a couple. There are little implications, like you’re not going to have dinner past midnight, or drink wine in that little romantic Parisian bistro – well, maybe one glass – and I could argue renting an apartment instead of staying at a hotel, but considering our e

With Stella almost turning 5 – and with that her growing personality and ideas on fashion – it’s getting harder to get them in the looks that I want her in. That’s okay. She needs that space to explore and become who she is. We usually negotiate on who can pick the top, and then the other person picks the bottom, and so on. I think to a certain extent it’s okay to negotiate with your kids, just for the sake of peace and quiet. We all live busy lives, have busy jobs, and want to be at least a little representable when going on date night – plus I like to hold off on the Botox for a little longer – so we negotiate. Don’t confuse this with bribing! This I’m completely against, and sadly see this happening around me a lot.

As always there’re many trends surfacing right before Fashion Month kicks off, and these trends determine more or less the whole street style landscape. For some this might feel like a repetition of styles and looks, and even specific pieces that get just a little too much attention. Some of which we never thought it would stand a chance – the “Ugly sneaker” trend for example – and yet, they are beloved by almost everyone right now.

Less in the spotlights right now, simply because it’s still summer and temperatures aren’t going anywhere cold yet, are statement knits. Needless to say, in fashion we are always a little ahead of time, so right now I’m doing my research on the best Fall/Winter 2019 knits, and I have partnered up with Veronica Beard, a brand close to my heart, to style three of their best ones…
