Style file: Double trouble

I hadn't seen denim on denim since thelate 90's and to tell you the truth, that didn't bother me at all. However, recent collections showed a fresh take on 'double denim' and made me reconsider my opinion. All I can say is I've got the blues... how about you?This S/S 10 trend takes some serious styling as it can easily be a little 'off'. To get you started I've created some tips and tricks again. Keep in mind that these are not rules, you should just wear whatever you like :D ♥ Work with different shades and washings. I personally think a dark grey skinny with a pale blue denim blouse is a winner combo. Also tie dye and ‘regular’ denim could...

At Acne

Acne is one of the brands that really gets it. So you could say I was excited about visiting their store opening in Antwerp. The clothes looked great - obviously - and so did the store and the visitors. I was tempted to buy the jewel printed dress in the collage, but I'm saving for my trip to the USA this summer (what a bumme...

Kiss kiss

Me, Andy and SabrinaMe, Hussein, Leroy Me and SabrinaYou would think that as Fashion week has come to an end, not many blogger events would take place. Not exactly true. Yesterday I went to a fashion event called Boutyq, where Dutch designer Sjaak Hullekes and Brittish duo PPQ showed their latest collections. I met up with the same bloggers as last week. And tomorrow I'm off to Antwerp for a store opening! Good thing I've had some time off lately. This is my last week though, but I'm really excited about starting my internship at a fashion magazine next week!River Island dress - Minimarket wedges - Zara dotted tig...

Stripes in spring

As you know I have a weak spot for stripes. So when I ran in to this jacket for a really low price I knew I was going to get it before even trying it on. Today felt like the first real day of spring, perfect for taking pictures. Let's hope it stays like this! Minimarket wedges - H&M jacket and paneled leggings - Ray Ban sunglasses - Zara ...

Do you love vintage?

Andy, Me, Sabrina, Leroy, Maurice Me and AndyYesterday I met up with Andy and Sabrina and later with Leroy and Maurice and Ilanka to go to the store opening of Ready to fish (remember the show?). It was a huge building, very fresh and white and we got to see her working room and showroom as well. Then we walked in our heels for what seemed like forever - ok, 10 minutes - to the opening of I love Vintage. This store was styled to look like a beautyfull dressing room, so cu...

Keep it short

At last the sun is out! I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night, too bad I couldn´t take those 3D glasses home to protect my eyes today :P I decided to give shorts + tights a try, but I still prefer them with bare legs... (well, everything looks great with bare legs doesn't it)Zara leather jacket - Acne blouse - Ibana Rouge bag - Vero moda shorts - Wolford tights - H&M shoes...

The Amsterdam chainsaw massacre

This Dazed & Confused editorial with Magdalena Frackowiak is from a while ago, but these serial killer meets prom queen dresses by Viktor & Rolf are too good not to share. The Dutch duo is known for their style that goes beyond the perfect skinny jean or sequin blazer. It's about sharing a story, creating a dream. That doesn't usually result in the most wearable creations, but definately in the most interesting on...

Just another day

Mango jacket - H&M dress - Wolford tights - Minimarket wedgesThis dress has been hanging untouched in my wardrobe for a while, the tailor made it a little too short. But since the weather isn't clearing up any time soon, I have no choice but to dig deep in my closet for things that keep me warm. At the end of a season I always feel like I've worn everything a thousand times and get a little bored with my clothes. Do you have the same thi...

Style file: Out to Africa

The African continent has often been turned to for inspiration. Just think about the gorgeous tribal and nomad styles we've seen on the runway. This season is more about the explorer that sets ground on Africa and heads out to discover. What I've noticed really makes this look are the cuts and the playful stiffness. By that I mean the really straight silhouette, buttoned up blouses, lack of accessories or color. Does that make sense? I personally like a clean Chloé-like look, but might add some color or big jewelry. What are your thoughts?Note: you now have to type in a word verification before your comment gets posted, to prevent sp...

In the raindrops

I decided to ignore the raindrops and step out for an outfit picture with my wedges. Not the best idea, since I was freezing my but off and I now have tiny drop marks on my boots :( (What I wouldn't do for an outfit post, right?) This grey and drooly weather is starting to affect my mood, so I hope it clears up soon! ps. YOU get to decide what will be my next blog post. Drop it in the comments, darlings!Note: The commens now have a word verification, to prevent spam. Hope that's no probl...

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they live. Many of you requested to see my home - with emphasis on my closet - so here it goes. In this picture my closet only carries the items I wear on a daily basis. I recently removed every single piece I don't wear. Now I have to sort out what makes it's way back in the closet and what...
