Style file: Mix & Match

The sillouettes this summer are strongly defined and most designers opted for a sleek, strong and clean look or a messy, fun and girly look. In this 2010 trend report I'm discussing the fun and flirty feeling you can create by mixing prints. A lot of designers set the example and showed us no combination is too bold. Leopard with flowers, dots and stripes, tweed with ethnic prints, it's all good! When mixing prints, you just have to try and see what works and what doesn't as you go along, because sometimes unexpected combinations are the best. However, here are some tips & trics to get you started:♥ If this trend is a bit too much for you,...

Glamour goes Guerilla!

Editor at large Karin Swerink Me in front of the abriYesterday evening I headed to the office of Glamour magazine where the team was enjoying champagne and french fries. We then headed out, ready for some action! (Peep toe heels wasn't the smartest choice at hand) It's the inside that counts is now painted over Glamour abri's all over Holland by the Glamour vandalista's. Even the cops showed up! Glamour editor at large Karin Swerink told me last night: "This fashion statement obviously applies to the inside of the magazine. And Glamour is not just about the latest Balenciaga jeans.

Ready to fish?

Aynouk Tan (fashion reporter), me, Sabrina, Lisa Anne Stuyvsand (winner of the Elle stylist award), Kassandra (model)Me and Sabrina were tweeting live fom the Ready to fish by Ilja Visser show. We arrived extra early and got a glimpse of the models up close. What appealed to me most is the mix between silk and fuzzy knits and the high comfort level. Looking fashionable gets really easy when you just throw on a knit onesie and heels! My favorites: the sheer harem pants, silver tapered pants, frilly skirt (Carrie would be jealous) and stone colored jumper. The jumper reminds me of the Dries van Noten one that appeared on various blogs. What are...

the H&M Garden CollectionWhat I wore to the showroomEvery girl likes to dream off to a more romantic setting now and then. And the H&M Garden Collection does the tric! Bright red roses, garden inspired collors, the print of a wild bouquet, it's all there. Next to the surprising cuts and details, the clothes have a luxurious feel to them as they are all made of sustainable or recycled materials. On top of that, this exclusive collection is available at the regular H&M price point. A good thing, since I want it all...!On monday I had an appointment with Aukje and Sabine at the H&M showroom. Not only were the girls great, I also...

EnD @ Amsterdam Fashion Week

Yesterday I visited the EnD show at fashion week. The clothes were inspired by the dark and edgy femininity of the 40's and 50's film noir. These outfits can be worn right off the runway, and I can definately picture myself in them. My favorites are the flowy blouses, detailed leather skirts and strong shoulders. If I just forget about food and only buy EnD clothes from now, I'm a happy camper...!...
