Hello

I’m Astrid Ruts

Fashion obsessed. Fitness enthousiast. Travel lover.

“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak” — Rachel Zoe

I’m Astrid, and I’m a style blogger! For as long as I can remember, I have been using fashion and beauty to tell stories, manifest my dreams and express myself on a daily basis. How I dress says something about me and that is why I make conscious decisions about what I buy, how I wear it and when I wear it. Whenever I buy a garment or a beauty product I want to make sure its story fits mine.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, compassion, some humour and some style.”

― Maya Angelou

With Ode2Style I want to enable others to tell their story through fashion and beauty like I do with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style. Follow my blog to learn more about the stories behind the brands and fashion houses of today and discover how they fit your story. How are they working towards becoming the brands of the future while staying true to their signature house codes. Finally, I’ll give you a glimpse as to how fashion and beauty is helping me through changing times whether it is working from home, travelling the world or preparing for a wedding. Oh yes, I just got engaged, but we’ll talk more about that later.
