Do you prefer to shop online, or in real stores?

I hate returning items to the post office but I also hate crowds and queues. I think I prefer shopping online though.

Hey Kim! I'm a big fan of your style and I really think you have great taste in finding the nicest clothes, shoes, etc. Therefore my question: do you have any idea where to find nice chelsea boots? Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much. :-)
I got mine at Topshop last year, the "April" boots. They make at least one good pair every year, so you might want to check their website. I don't know what your budget is, but I love Church's boots. You could also try googling "Jodphur boots" and find some really good pairs for very reasonable prices.

Isabel Marant Bobby suede sneaker: black or taupe? Do you like them?

I don't like them much. Taupe is pretty versatile, but maybe they look better in black.

Wow, I just read that question below. Don't you get tired sometimes of people asking you weird questions?

LOL, I know! I find some of the questions I get merely hilarious, even the more normal ones. I have to admit that answering the same type of questions can get a bit tiring.

Would you rather die of starvation than eat soup with your hands while being watched by millions on television screens?

...

Do you like Jeanne Damas blog? What do you think about her? And what about the Blonde Salad?

Yes, I like her blog.She's cool and she has something sensual and sexy about her. I like her monthly analog pictures. However, I do like her style better in her "crevette liloo" days and like the first two/three years of her latest blog. I'm not into those fringed Marant boots etc.
I don't like the Blonde Salad. I find her boring and I don't like her eye makeup.

Hi! What are your favorite magazines ?

Apart from The Gentlewoman twice a year, I haven't bought magazines in 2-3 years. I used to buy National Geographic, French Vogue, I-D, Vogue UK, Lula. There are some good magazines out there, I just no longer buy nor read them.

Dont take this the wrong way but you seem to live a simple life, you read books, eat at cafés, watch films. Do you never have the urge do be foolish? I'm really just curious, please dont be assaulted.

I have done some 'foolish' things because I didn't care what could happen and out of curiousity, but I won't go into detail. I get your point, but what do you want me to do? Walk into a pub and kiss the first guy I lay my eyes on? I'm just not very good socially, that might also explain my very select group of friends. I don't know, I might live a bit of an isolated life, but I don't know how to step out of that? Maybe I'm not the type for lots of 'foolishness'.

which of your friends have tumblr or instagram? can you give them to me?

You probably know about Sebastiaan's instagram but here it is anyway: http://instagram.com/hommeserieux. We started a tumblr for analog photos and random snaps a while ago, but we're both too lazy to update. I scanned analog pictures two months ago, but I'm too lazy to edit them.
Mandy's instagram account is http://instagram.com/musicofthespheres. Her tumblr blogs: http://rememo.tumblr.com http://;la-vie-en-rose.tumblr.com http://a-room-with-a-view.tumblr.com
I met Silvana and Isabel through tumblr and we met in 'real life'. I don't know when you officially call each other pals but I'd like to consider them as friends, so here are their instagram and tumblr accounts: http://instagram.com/saisonlune http://saisonlune.tumblr.com http://dansmamaison.tumblr.com/ http://cahierdelalune.tumblr.com/ and http://instagram.com/venividiperdidi http://hazeltons.tumblr.com
Edit: I forgot about Ori. I met her in Paris when I sold her a jumper. She is the sweetest: http://instagram.com/aurais http://auraiss.tumblr.com/

Thank you for the book recommendation, I'll check it out! I did look on google and reading lists and things but you know sometimes you want a kind of a seal of approval from someone who seems to know more about particular stuff ;) Also a rec from a person you follow seems more motivating than random

I totally get what you mean. :-) Good luck!!!

Do you love or hate dogs or people who are with a dog?

I LOVE dogs! Every time I see a dog I want to pet it. I give my dog more love than I ever gave my sisters or parents. :$

You studied history Kimberley, right? I wonder if you could recommend me any books or articles on the French Resistance during WWII?

I asked Sebastiaan and he named French Resistance Fighter: France's Secret Army by Terry Crowdy.
Have you tried googling books and articles already? Wikipedia has a long lists of books and movies on you subject.
Le dernier métro from Truffaut is a great movie that's set in occupied Paris.

Do you have a picture of the embellished skirt from Zara you bought? It sounds beautiful!

the picture doesn't do it much justice, but I couldn't find it online.

Do you wear leather boots that go up to her knees?

I would, if I owned a pair. I do have pair of high-heeled over-the-knee boots in suede. I'd never buy them in leather though.

Hi! What were your best purchases of 2013, and your best purchases of 2014 so far?

Hello!
My best purchases of 2013 were a cable knit jumper from APC, Levi's 501 jeans, Rodebjer Candice dress, a black silk H&M shirt and simple shirts in various colours from COS. This year's best purchases so far, a long black coat from Zara, grey cashmere Zara jumper with a deep V-neck, Oysho pyjamas and a navy embellished skirt from Zara that I bought for on sale for only ten euros last week.

Reading recipes - favourite hobby ever! I keep saving them in my bookmarks but then rarely cooking anything! I do get inspired though, but it's hard to follow reciped other than baking because i'll hardly have all the ingredients straight away!

Haha, I know! Whenever a recipe requires lots of ingredients I'm like "Ok, no". I hardly ever follow a recipe exactly, I modify it to my own taste or rather, to whatever is in my cupboard and fridge. ;-)

Would you consider yourself materialistic?

Just a bit. Like the most of us, I do like pretty things. I won't let things take over my life though, as love and friendship etc are naturally more important

Which three items are your best purchases ever (fashion and beauty related)?

Hm, it's hard to narrow my best purchases ever down to three items.
My best beauty purchases are Laura Mercier's secret camouflage, MAC Fix spray, Clarins Beauty Balm, Topshop and Benefit highlighter, red lipstick. Oh, and mascara is essential. I currently use L'oreal False Lash Telescopic mascara and Chanel le Volume mascara.
Fashionwise, my navy APC coat and my new Zara coat, Marant Dicker boots, Chanel two tone flats, Cheap Monday jeans, Calvin Klein Envy bras and the list goes own.

Hello Kim! Do you have any style icons?

I don't know if I have any real 'style icons' but I love the sense of style of the following: Marine Vacth, Caroline de Maigret, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou Doillon, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Steve McQueen, Sofia Coppola, Angelina Jolie, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, the Olsens, Geraldine Saglio, Lea Seydoux, Louis Garrel, Catherine Deneuve, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Carine Roitfeld, Vanessa Traina, Claire Dhelens, Magdalena Frackowiack, Stevie Dance, Alexandra Spencer, Ilona Hamer, Clemence Poesy, Romy Schneider, Audrey Hepburn, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy etc

What are your hobbies? Any sports that you practice?

Uhm...reading newspaper, I can spend hours reading one single newspaper, cuddling and sleeping with my dog (we're nearly as cute as the toddler and puppy theo and beau), reading recipes, buying flowers, sitting in cafés with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, walking, going to the cinema, watching movies (obviously), cooking, visiting bookstores, buying things for my home, tumblr, eating.
I don't practice any sports.
