Look of the day

Nikki Balsem

Yehesss, this makes me intensely happy. From the look, but especially from the person wearing it. Meet Nikki, my very best friend. Well, you’ve already seen her here and today she gives me another reason to go visit her soon to raid her wardrobe.

A fun fact about Nik is that she is the designer of a new clothing brand called Laboratorium LA, specializing in athletic leisure wear. She just returned from a few days showcasing her collection at Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence, where, knowing her well, she had enough gelato to last the rest of the year. And pasta. And I bet quite a few pizzas too (it's okay, Nik, you can handle it).

That jacket she’s wearing, I want that too, but she scored it vintage. Damn it. The sweater comes from the rack at H&M Trend, the jeans are from Topshop, and the booties are from Zara. And let’s give a shoutout to her bag, because usually I’m not an LV fan, but this beauty, I’ll adopt with all my love from her. Last but definitely not least: for all the beautiful things around her neck and fingers, you can go to Overload Studios, her roomie's jewelry brand. her roomie. So Nik, see you soon? We still have a ten-year friendship anniversary that we need to plan.
