The Jeans Story
…or “Is there a special life cycle for jeans?” My answer is definitely – yes! Phase 1. When the jeans are brand new – new cut, and for me that means never too trendy and always in a darker dyed color (nothing too distressed or washed out…) These are my new favorites, I wear them all the time, evenings, weekends, sometimes even to work. A phase that will last for about two years. Phase 2: the jeans are gradually worn less and less. Replaced by a new pair in phase 1.

Second year in a row we have now travelled to Spain, i e for me, second time in Spain... Not something that I'm proud of, but the good thing is that I'm discovering a beautiful country with such a rich and endearing culture.
