A WEEK IN BLANKENS. MONDAY – WORKING FROM HOME AND PICKING UP THE KIDS EARLY FROM SCHOOL

Mondays are always busy with tons to do at my home office and early school pick up for my daughters. I try to keep meetings to a minimum and get as much as possible done from the comfort of my living room (that magically turns into my work space during the day time!). 

Feeling comfortable is always a priority, but maintaining my style at a decent level keeps my work moral high (and myself away from turning "working from home" into bingewatching Billions and eating ice cream). I love wearing silk trousers and a shirt, pairing this all black outfit with our The Melrose sandal in black suede. This heel has been my go-to for meetings, formal dinners and fun nights out with my girlfriends since its launch last year. Love the chunky and super-walkable heel!

Even though taking care of three kids is not exactly zen all the time (or ever), I like switching over from work mode to family focus. We usually spend our afternoons with our dog in the park, and for that, these shoes are definitely the perfect fit! The Kristin is a cardigan, a knitted coat and a blanket for cozy couch snuggling (have I mentioned how we love versatile shoes and garments here at Blankens? LOVE!) – I always have one near! 

The Ibiza is an espadrille in eco friendly vegetable tanned leather. This has been one of our most popular styles since we launched it first time spring 2017, and i can absolutely see why: The sole is so soft and the leather smooth against the skin, plus that very wearable design! This spring, The Ibiza is available in three colours: black, natural leather and midnight blue suede.

I promise you it's a very special feeling seeing your kids wearing the shoes you've worked on so hard for so long. Lil Blankens was launched in March 2018 with a simple mission: to create fun and good shoes for tiny feet. Because who needs decent footwear more than growing little limbs?

Rio, to the right, likes colours and has a tomboyish style – The Field in black with turquoise lacing is her favourite!

Bonnie is more of a denim girl. The Garden in any of the three colours is what she chooses to wear almost every day!
