Today was my first day of my studies again after my design internship. Tomorrow my alarm clock is set at 06.00 AM again to be on time at my college. Pfff, I am really not an early morning person (or actually I believe at 06.00 AM it is still night).
So now it's time for bed..

Happy New year every one!!

I spent my night in Dalston and my friend Klara and I were captured by the thexoxokids

Someone took my shoes or they got misplaced at the New Years party I went to. So I wore a pair of gigantic trainers provided by a Scottish guy who lived where the party was. I must have been a scary sight with this pale pink coat and sparkle dress with HUGE shoes clomping down the street!!!!! RIP shoes!

Burgundy & Grey

2011-12-11T08:16:00.000-08:00

It's already sunday.. So by now you probably figured out that Sunday is my only full day off. I use this day to catch up on blog posts and relaxing. And it is so cold outside that I don't want to do anything else than stay inside. Winter season is great for sipping hot chocolate by my warm cozy fireplace, watching my favorite old movies and eating more junk food cause clothes do the majic trick of hiding the extra weight gain hehe..

This is my look of the day; wearing a burgundy sweater from Zara, coat from Zara, shoes from Nowhere, hat from Comme des Garçons for H&M and a bag from VJ-style.

Roses are red

2011-12-09T01:20:00.000-08:00

Just ordered these amazing shoes from Nowhere at Nelly. They are designed by Nhu Duong and swedish blogger Elin Kling as creative director. I love the design and I can't wait to wear them!

Glitters & Bows

2011-12-01T01:06:00.000-08:00

These pictures were taken last weekend when it was very hard to take some good outfit pictures as it was quite a stormy day and my dress and properly styled hair were flying everywhere! So you can say it was a bit of a challenge..
Right now, I am still not feeling like my old self again, stupid flu! I am really tired of feeling sick and sitting at home all day.. But I am feeling a little bit better, so at least that's something :)

About the outfit I am wearing; I love these glitter booties from ASOS! I am wearing them with a cute bow dress from Chicwish and a bag from Dressrepublic.

I can't believe it is December already, time to start thinking about some cool christmas decor ideas..

Marni for H&M

2011-11-30T01:27:00.000-08:00

With Versace still in the shops, H&M has already announced their next collaboration with Marni. On March 8th 2012, a Marni at H&M collection is released worldwide! The spring collection will have women and menswear clothes as well as accessories. I think it will be great as I love Marni, always playful and elegant. Can't wait!

New in: brogues

2011-11-29T01:35:00.000-08:00

I love brogues lately because they are chic and comfortable at the same time. I prefer wearing heels, especially platforms, but sometimes my feet need their welldeserved break and why not in a fancy pair of brogues from the H&M trend collection? Already one of my favorite pairs of shoes.

Btw, I am stuck in bed feeling sick, I think I got the flu or something. Aargh, I hate it.. I hope it will pass soon.

Versace for H&M

2011-11-27T09:41:00.000-08:00

I was so lucky to get the satin skirt, biker jacket and ring from the Versace for H&M collection, which are my favourites of the collection. The quality of the items is very good and I love the jacket and skirt because they have the complete Versace staple on it; leather and satin filled with studs. The bag is from ASOS, the nailpolish is Chanel Péridot and the wedges are from Ebay.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

I couldn't be more happier as I got some great news yesterday, namely that I can intern at Addy van den Krommenacker! I am so honored as he is definitely one of the best designers from the Netherlands and one of my all time favourites! He makes the most wonderful glamorous red carpet dresses in the most amazing fabrics and color palettes. He has dressed many international stars like Courtney Love, Malika Sherawat and Carly Steel. The three designs on the image above are my favourites from his Roma Altamoda 2011 collection. Go see for yourself and check out his website for more images of his amazing collections, here!

La Raison c'est la folie du plus fort

2011-10-27T00:29:00.000-07:00

I love this cape from Romwe! I really like the red color and the fact that it has pointy shoulders and black collar lining. The bag and headband are from H&M and the boots are from ASOS.

I am in my one week holiday now, but it is hardly what I would call a holiday as I have so many projects that are due after the holidays. But most assignments are nice and involve making fashion illustrations and sketching, so I am not complaining too much ;) Enjoy the rest of the week my lovely readers and thank you for your continuing support!

Versace for H&M

2011-10-26T00:21:00.000-07:00

I'm already saving for it. Can't wait!

My new black Chanel flats with metal toes.

The trees bend to caress me

2011-10-23T11:13:00.000-07:00

I love this amazing skirt I got from Beginningboutique. I combined it here with a sweater from Only, a vintage blazer, floppy hat from H&M, Alexander wang bag and Lita boots from Jeffrey Campbell. Hope you had an amazing weekend so far!

The mini bag

2011-10-21T02:10:00.000-07:00

I love the miniature bags! Like Alexa Chung with a miniature Mulberry and Harley Viera Newton with a miniature Celine.

Tangerine

2011-10-19T01:21:00.000-07:00

Ooh, I love a good vintage find! For example, just yesterday I found this amazing tangerine vintage designer dress from Dutch designer Sheila de Vries on the nearest flea market!
I wear the dress here with a cape from Romwe. If you want to order something from Romwe I can now offer you a special halloween discount of 20%, the code is HLW20 and is valid from 20th to 31st of October. Happy shopping!
The platforms are from Jessica Simpson and the glasses are from Etnia via Lelook.

Btw, as you can see, I changed my photo size. I made it bigger and I think it looks better this way. You can see all the details of the clothes better now and it improves the quality of the photo as well. What do you think?

All That Glitters

2011-10-18T12:04:00.000-07:00

All from Topshop.

Mustard midi

2011-10-17T01:43:00.000-07:00

The look of the day; mustard skirt by Motel, jacket from Ployy, bag from Fashionzenvintage, necklace from Romwe, headband from ASOS and sandals from Chinese Laundry via Loveclothing.

Well it's about that time of the year, I caught a lame cold.. I am stuck on the couch right now and I have no energy to do what so ever. And I have got sooo many things to work on. But hey, I will manage.

Hope you have a better start of the week!

Tapestry

2011-10-14T00:41:00.000-07:00

I love these tapestry floral wedges by Blink which I got from Loveclothing. And they go perfectly with the Tapestry print suit from my vintage webshop Fashionzenvintage. The Nailpolish is the Chanel Péridot colour and the ring and the corsage are from H&M.

And what do you think of my hair? I added some more volume with the clip-in extensions I got from Rapunzelofsweden. They are really easy to apply, you simply clip them into the root area of the hair, and snap the clips open to take them out. Nice for a quick hairstyle change!

Enjoy your weekend!

Keep on walking

2011-10-12T02:17:00.000-07:00
