MARCH UPDATE
packing methods that will save your sanity, spring mood boards and Vestiaire finds
Hi, everyone. I’m so sorry for kind of ghosting you for almost an entire month. How are we all? Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
As this is my first post after a bit of a Substack hiatus, we’re back with a (severely late) March Update. Half spring edit, half random thoughts. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking - this could be your easy Sunday coffee read. Scroll down for my spring inspiration mood boards, my spring wishlist and some curated Vestiaire finds.
HOW MY WARDROBE SLOWLY COMES OUT OF SURVIVAL MODE
Frankly, I didn’t enjoy getting dressed during the last couple of weeks, which is very unlike me but I guess it (life) happens to all of us. I always find these time periods very interesting because whenever something inspirational crosses my path, it kind of hits even harder. So please enjoy this list of things I found incredibly chic and has sparked joy in my fashion heart lately:
Neither Mel Robbins nor Erin Walsh need much of an introduction - this podcast episode on getting dressed for how you want to feel is excellent.
It would be an understatement to say I loved Lola’s feature in the Lié Studio Journal - I absolutely adored it.
I soak up anything Aaron Levine has to say about style and / or clothes and his feature on Mr. Porter is 12/10.
Whenever I feel uninspired, stepping back and creating a distance (towards my wardrobe and life in general) helps. I went to London with Melissa Asquith last week which brought back my fashion spark, of course. We went to see ‘The Devil Wears Prada - The Musical’ and nothing calms me more these days than having my phone on airplane mode and just enjoying culture. Simply being in the moment. That inspired me to go to the movies more, too. I already secured my tickets for The Devil Wears Prada 2 tour for April 30 and I can’t wait to see The Drama.
If you have been reading No Wardrobe for a while, you might know there’snothinghardly anything I love more than costume design in movies. The Drama’s styling already looked promising in the trailer but I didn’t google who was the costume designer until yesterday. Turns out, it is Katina Danabassis who also worked on The Materialists with Dakota Johnson.
Aaah, I can’t wait to see that movie even more now!Anyone who follows me on Instagram might have noticed I’ve been on the go a lot in March, which included Albania for work and London for fun. I love packing but it gets harder when the mental capacity is shrinking. That’s when the algorithm magically made me discover The Sudoku Packing Method. The video below is in German but you might understand the visuals anyways. Has anyone tried this and can report back?
Speaking of packing hacks, Asta / Aastha seems to travel a lot for work without compromising her style, and I loved her explanations in this video that Indyx shared:
SPRING MOOD BOARD & STYLE CRUSHES
My spring 2026 mood board looks surprisingly colorful so far (yes, as a minimalist, brown and beige count as colors).

As both, my life and wardrobe went into said survival mode for the past couple of weeks (I’m not going to bore you with personal / work struggles), I’m craving style inspiration that is both calm and confident, if you know what I mean: Clean lines, casual and practical looks, no fuss. So no wonder my ‘style crushes mood board’ looks like this atm:

SPRING 2026 WISHLIST & LINKS I SHARE WITH CLIENTS
If you have any great recommendations for any of these items, please share them with me and / or in the comments. As always, I am looking for anything minimal / edgy / refined, which eventually resulted in this list:
a midi-length leather coat I don’t necessarily have to donate my kidney for
a midi skirt (beige suede)
a white baby-tee
beige / off-white ballet flats / Mary Janes
an oversized grey t-shirt
a taupe v-neck knit sweater
I do browse a lot of online shops when styling clients, and these are some things that have caught my attention for spring. The overwhelming amount of H&M Men pieces is a coincidence, they’re simply doing a very good job right now:
ALOHAS Sway flats in cream* / H&M Men simple navy car coat* / H&M Men leather blazer* / H&M Studio leather jacket* / H&M Men car coat* / Sabatier 1947 Paris weekender bag I ordered the Sabatier1947 bag for myself after seeing so many people recommending it on TikTok and I am in love. She looks like the Birkin and Kelly bag had a baby, is amazing quality and perfect for schlepping your entire household.
I also had a little Vestiaire browse and loved these treasures:
Jil Sander coat* / Freja Bag* / Coach Brooklyn 28 bag*/ The Frankie Shop trench coat* / The Frankie Shop blazer* / Toteme barn jacket* That’s all. I’m off to enjoy some family time and my fifth coffee today.
I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend and I’m looking forward to catching up in the comments!
