The niche of COSY SUNDAY is beautiful weekend style, which offers a time-saving way of shopping for a busy woman. All-season models for any weekend scenario and a signature colour palette for creating effortlessly chic outfits. All pieces are made with love in Italy.

Van Den Abeele
Van Den Abeele is a beautiful jewellery label founded by Delphine who was born and raised in Paris’ 18th district. Both her neighbourhood and Montmartre were her playground as she grew up – possibly the inspiration of what she now creates – smile.
She always had a creative streak in her and was already drawing her mother’s outfits when she was only 6 years old. It was however when she was 30 and travelling the world with her backpack that her jewellery career began. Starting off by creating a lucky charm cuff-bracelet. Delphine has always worn superstitious talismans – it is this mystical passion combined with her roots that nourishes her creativity.
You will find Van Den Abeele pieces online
or alternatively in store in Zurich at Michèle Ebinger Jewels, Augustinergasse 52, 8001 Zurich,

Hi, my name is Yvonne, I worked in finance for almost 3 decades. One day I woke up and decided it was time to have a change and turn my hobbies into my profession. Hence the fashion/lifestyle blog www.funkyforty.com was created. That was 8 years ago. Fashion Week Street Style and other photography is also a part of my new profession.
Having a huge passion for fashion and supporting incredible female designers I am super excited at having the opportunity to share a few with you on Ladies Drive – a magazine I have loved since its very beginning.
