Joline Jolink takes you through her week…

1. On Friday, the sun is shining brightly outside, but I am busy in my Rotterdam studio designing and developing a warm winter collection. Secretly, I am fond of all those fluffy yarns and autumn colors. Bring on the freezing cold!

2. Even though it's late, I find it important to still cook at home and eat healthily with my friend Peter. It's asparagus season and these from the organic market at Eendrachtsplein in Rotterdam are truly delicious. Enjoying them as often as possible while I can!

3. Saturday morning is such a lovely moment for myself. Peter opens our store on Nieuwe Binnenweg and I get to mess around at home a bit. Newspaper, coffee, a walk with the dog. And… doing Pilates at home. My goal is one exercise every day. Our Rotterdam home is so spacious that I have been able to set up an entire room with Pilates gear, making it very easy for me :-)

4. At the end of the day, when one of my biggest fans – now a friend – Kim sends me a message from my store that she is back from two weeks of vacation in Mexico, I decide to call it a day. Together with Zoef, I join her, her boyfriend Pierre, and dog Billy on the terrace of Wijnbar Lucas. Cheers!

5. Lastly, a tip: the Museumpark in Rotterdam is beautiful at the moment. Of course, the Kunsthal and the Boijmans van Beuningen museum are recommended, but enjoying the colors of nature outside in the park is just as nice!
