Inspiration: Roadtripping

Usually when summer comes I’m in the mood for white beaches, palm trees and floral bikinis. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m going to the US this summer or if it’s my lifelong dream of going on a road trip  surfacing,  but this year summer makes me think of beat-up trucks and high way signs. I love getting inspiration from anything having to do with road trips. It’s not just the fashion, but also the music  that comes with being on the road and off course, that incomparable feeling of being young, free and lost. So for today I have collected some pictures and fashion items that get me in the mood to hit the road. 























Whenever someone asks me why it’s a dream of mine to go on a lengthy road trip across the US, I sometimes find it hard to explain. Probably because for me it’s not about seeing the country, or having an adventurous vacation. I believe that going on a roadtrip, especially one without a clear destination, makes you experience a certain kind of liberation that you rarely find anywhere else. I would love just to be out on the road with a few goods friends and go along with whatever adventure we encounter during our wanderings.



"That sweet feeling of a too hot summer day, when it's you, your best friends and miles of concrete in front of you. When handmade mixtapes, cut-off shorts and gas stations serenade times of endless potential without a destination. To be young, free and lost is the motto."


 










What I love so much about the fashion that comes with roadtripping is that it’s all about being comfortable and having fun. And that also happens to be what I like my fashion to be. To me this means lots of cut-off shorts, muscles tees, neon prints, sneakers and natural hair. I decided to make a little collage with my road trip essentials:

  4. "I believe that going on a roadtrip, especially one without a clear destination, makes you experience a certain kind of liberation that you rarely find anywhere else." Dit is precies wat ik ook denk! Het lijkt me zo gaaf, en de US is er ook echt het ideale land voor. Eigenlijk heb ik al een soort road-trips gedaan daar, maar dan één stad per drie weken, en met mijn ouders. Ik zou het nog wel eens alleen of met een vriendin willen doen! Hele leuke inspi, trouwens!
