Blogger streetstyle

Susie and Steve. I highly doubt you'll find a couple with more style in entire England!Me, on comfy biker boots Alix, with her amazing Chloé flats and Sonya Rykiel gloves.Browsing through Vogue over morning coffee (and looking tired after partying till 5 and getting up at 9)I posted about things I experienced when I was in Antwerp at the fashion weekend, but I know all you fashion freaks really just wonder one thing; what was everyone wearing! These were taken on the last day, when we were walking around in Antwerp. I will post pictures of the other bloggers too, but I'm yet transferring those images to my new laptop after my other one crashed!...

A little fringe

You know how sometimes you have to get things done and just can't seem to focus? Usually I work hard and concentrated, but I need to finish three essays and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with some movies and turn off my brain :P Pictures were taken before getting coffee with my boyfriend near my appartment. The blazer is actually cream colored. (I was wearing a coat since it's pretty windy - as you can tell from my hair - but it's not in the picture).Cream blazer: zara - Tee: zara - PU Leather leggings: ebay - Bag: Guess - Ankle boots: h&m - Necklace: h&am...

Bold and beautiful

This week I visited the Dutch Design week. In my opinion it wasn't the strongest year in the interior design section. I did notice a few really interesting pieces and it's always nice to visit and open your mind up to new ideas. This year was the first time I saw clothes as well. Generation Bold & Brave displayed items of 2009's best graduates from different Dutch fashion schools. That led to a really interesting mix of bold styl...

Your inner Obama

It’s official; fall is here. And all you fab fashionista’s know that a new season can cost a lot of money. That has given me a thought: could I create a head-to-toe fall outfit, that I would actually like to wear, for under a hundred euro’s in total? I channeled my inner Obama and told myself; Yes I can! 99 virtual euro’s later, this is the result.Blazer: Forever 21 - Tank top: don't remember! - Shoes: Asos - Leggings: Monki - Necklace: Forever21Glamour Bbey and Chicisimo both featured me on their blogs a while ba...

Craving for denim

Having friends is nice and all... but having friends with the same dress size, that's just great! Shopping in your friends closet is the ideal way to update your looks without spending a buck.The sad thing is, you'll actually have to give it back ;)I'm lusting after a nice fitted denim blouse for a while now, but with no luck. Every shirt I come across is way too oversized. Note to designers: if I want to look like I borrowed my clothes from a guy, I'll just buy a size XL. No need to do the work for me! :P Anyways, my friend Malou got her hands on this delicious denim by Zara. So I borrowed it to bring to the Antwerp fashion weekend and snapped...

On the hunt for hotspots

Jutka Riska - Nationalestraat 87Jutka Riska sells secondhand designer items and coordinates by color and style. I was very impressed with the selection they made and the items looked like new. They had the cutest ivory & black Chanel bag I can’t stop thinking about… Louis - Lombardenstraat 2Louis is filled with a fine selection of brands like Acne, Margiela, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester. It was actually the first store in Antwerp to stock clothes from the Antwerp Six, so for sure they know what they’re doing there ;) And the best part? I won an impressive gift card to this store for snapping all the items from the...

the Antwerp experience

I’m back from Antwerp and I'm exhausted and excited at the same time. The other bloggers were great company and who knew you could do so much in a weekend! On the Facebook page you can check out what all the bloggers write about it!Let me take you through the first day of my Antwerp adventure. Cocktails and friesWe arrived at the train station of Antwerp, what we later learned to be the 4th most beautiful in the world, and I was brought to my new home for the weekend; the Radisson Blu hotel. Beautiful, specious rooms and we really got pampered (macaroons and fruit at arrival!) My room had a view over the station and city centre, which was especially...

Behind the bob

I went to see the September Issue this week, a documentary about the making of Vogue September 07, the biggest issue to date. I was very curious to see what goes on behind the bob. However, somewhere along the filming process the director must have found himself more fascinated by Grace Coddington. I can understand why, she is so creative and really has a vision. Anna pretty much lived up to the image she has... Would have liked to see some more of her personality! It's great to watch how everything comes together though and the phothoshoots, models and clothes were beautiful!...

Style icon!

This week, Kani Ladies sent me some of their hottest items. Kani Ladies designs urban girlswear, and has some really fun and girly pieces. It's streetwear that ranges from glamorous to sporty chic. One of my faves was this black dress with a waterfall neckline. I'm wearing it here with a mesh body underneath. It's perfect for going out, but I also imagine wearing it as a top with leather skinnies.So excited to be Style icon on Chictopia! Especially since I just joined! Great way to kick off the weekend.PS. If I'm your your favorite fashion idol of the week, visit La Mimi and vote for me! (and also because her blog is f...
