Hammam towels

Hammam towels are known for their multiple useability. You can wear them as a sarong, use them as a picnic blanket, a table cloth and a towel.


I finally purchased one and wished I had done this years earlier. I love it! They are perfect after taking a bath and because they are very thin, they are also very suitable for baby's. Drying those tiny babytoes has never been this easy.

I bought mine at Sissy Boy, but you can find them all over the interwebs.

Fresco Towels

Lately I've been totally obsessed by Fresco Towels.


Their towels, bathmaths, beachtowels, pillows and bags are made with the finest Turkish cotton and are the softest out there.

Especially the ethnic prints caught my eye. A definite must have!!

Wayuu Mochila Bags

One of my friends is heavily promoting a store with clothes, bags and juwelry she loves, Fittingroom no 6. One day she showed their new bags on twitter. They are the only store in the Netherlands that are selling Wayuu Mochila Bags.


The Wayuu Mochila bags are made by the Wayuu, a group of indigenous people who live in La Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia and north west Venezuela. Each mochila is hand-made by one woman and each woman has her own signature.

Today I saw that they have only one Mochila bag in their online store left, so you have to be quick to get your hands on them.


Don't know if they will be getting a new stash soon, but I do like them very much!

Kiboots

Today I'm awaiting the arrival of my own pair of Kiboots!


These beauties are all handmade in Morocco by skilled artisans who have years of experience. They are made out of original vintage kilim rugs and leather and therefore each pair is one of a kind.

I can't wait to see mine and hope they fit me perfectly.

Kiboots can be purchased here: Kiboots webshop
Be sure to check in frequently to find the pair you fall in love with.

Shawl

I love visiting our local ZARA store from time to time.
No, let me rephrase that: it's inspiring and frustrating at the same time to visit our local ZARA store.


Why frustrating? Well, let me explain:
I love most of their clothes, but although I love them, they don't love me. They are usually available in sizes XS to L, and I, unfortunately, am a size XL. Well, at least in their shop. There are some other stores where I do fit in an L, but I guess they use Spanish measurements or something like that.

Anyhow, I visited the store a few days ago and found this great shawl which I love!!



The beautiful etnic print and the size (it's really big) caught my eye and I'm very happy with it. It's nice and soft and you can wear it in a million different ways.

The vibrant colors weren't captured in the picture, so you just have to believe me when I tell you those are pretty amazing too.
