Melanie van Wijk, half of the charming and cheerful founding directors duo of MaisonPR. The other is Linda Botter, also such a stylish specimen but more about her another time. Now Melanie, who, like Linda by the way, has a deep love for boutiques with a black and white logo or with an orange awning. Every time I see her, she has made a nice purchase that makes me run after her to the store in question.

Today she wraps her slender body in a cardigan from Escada on a legging from Joline Jolink, the label if you love classy yet comfortable clothing. The shoes are from Zara, the clutch is by LouLou both the bag and the brooch are from that favorite boutique in black and white. One is vintage, the other is a fairly recent purchase.
