MILITAIRY CHIC


And once again, I fell in love with an amazing military jacket from Zara. I already told myself not to buy anything, until I saw this beauty. My friend told me I was crazy if I didn't buy it, and I would regret it. So I spent my life savings haha. I told my Mom, and first she got mad because I have to "save" some money but then I showed her the jacket and she changed her mind haha, she loved it as well! She even gave me the money back, because it's an investment for my future! I love my Mom, she's the best 
I think this is such an eyecatcher and a classy item, you can wear it for years! It never goes out of style! Indeed Mom, it's a nice investment! Now I need some nice shoes for my "Military-Chic" outfit!
Do you like my new jacket? Let me know what you think ;-)

With love, xoxo A

CURLY HAIR AND NO MAKE-UP

END-OF-THE-WORLD-OUTFIT 21-12-2012



JACKET ALBERT CUYP, AMSTERDAM | SHIRT PULL&BEAR | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES NEWLOOK
SUNNIES ANNA DELLO RUSSO FOR H&M

I really wanted to show you guys this outfit, but then it started to snow a little bit. My toes were freezing off!
It was so cold!!! And I know it's my own fault, but 'no gain without pain' right?
It's a lot of leather and gold, but I think that's one of the best 'color'-combinations, it can look sexy and elegant.
What do you think? xoxo

H&M OUTFIT OF THE DAY





GLITTER BLAZER, BLOUSE, TROUSERS H&M | SHOES BLINK: CAFE MODA

I love the H&M. This jacket is from a couple of years ago (also forgotten about it) but it's still an eye-catcher. 
It's so nice to combine old and new stuff from your closet! 
This picture is made at school, I've never been at this part of the building before, but it's a nice location right?
And again, I couldn't resist to fool around again ;-) have a nice day!

BLAZER WITH FEATHERS

A couple weeks ago, I went to my standerd cafe in Tilburg to have some coffee and a tosti with a friend. But she overslept, so I went to the 'Claires' to fill my time to wait for her (to buy some earrings or something). But then... I found some feathers, for your hair. But I thought it would be nice to put them on a blazer! Maybe feathers are the new studs ;-) do you like it?

OUTFIT OF A WINTERDAY


CAP PRIMARK | SWEATER H&M | TROUSERS ZARA | SHOES PRIMARK

It's almost Christmas! And what do you think when I say Christmas? Yes indeed: COLD!!
So, a nice opportunity to dress warm, with a cute little cap with a bear. I feel like a kid when I'm wearing it!
This picture is taken near by a cafe I visit like 5 times a week, because they have the best tosti's in Holland.
Paulien and I once broke the record, we sat there 11 hours! From 15h until 2 o'clock at night.
Haha that's the dancers life ;-) Have a nice day, and dress warm otherwise you get a cold!

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: MARY-KATE OLSEN STYLE

JACKET ALBERT CUYP | BLOUSE ZARA | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES ISABEL MARANT


About two years ago I discovered studs, and now you see them everywhere! In a way 
I saw that trend comming, haha maybe I should become a Trend Watcher instead. 
Back then I ordered these gigantic golden studs online, but I didn't know what to do with them.
So I saved them for later, I thought maybe I get some inspiration in a while.
A couple weeks later I bought this leather jacket with puffed sleeves at the Albert Cuyp Market
in Amsterdam. I thought it was such an eye catcher and it's a little too much (if you know what I mean)
that I really had to buy it. Later on I saw this picture of Mary-Kate Olsen
wearing a leather jacket with big golden studs on her sleeves: 1 + 1 = my inspiration. 
So I decided to make something like that. I think I did a nice job, and I'm so happy it.
I totally forgot about this jacket, but I found it back a couple days ago and I re-fell in love!!

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: ANNA DELLO RUSSO STYLE.


As you may know, I like to dress up. I think there's living a little Anna Dello Russo in me, 
but I don't have the balls to dress up like her. I just think she's a beautiful appearance 
with an amazing sense of style. Anna Dello Russo is the ultimate fashionista and fashion maniac.
Such a style icon, and a sort of hero: because rumour has it she owns more than 4000 pairs of shoes!!
I wish I could be like her, and just wear anything you like. I'm trying to do that, but sometimes it's hard.
Because you'll always be judged. But I like Anna Dello Russo's way of thinking:
why should you care about what people are thinking about you? And I couldn't agree more!!
From now on, I don't give a shit anymore what you think about what I'm wearing!
That's why I got these pictures, inspired by the one and only Anna Dello Russo, 
haha I think she would like it! I'm wearing her hat which she designed for her H&M collection.
So long, fashionista's! Enjoy your day and dress up fabulous! xoxo

This morning it started snowing. Not my favorite kind of weather, but it looks so nice

Paulien and I were thinking after the hard work and the cold we deserved a latte machiato. 
You can follow Paulien's blog at Azarabeauty.blogspot.com for some beautiful make-up and nail art!

Luckily the snow is gone now and... so am I :) xoxo

PRINCESS DIANA: STYLE ICON

  Even though it was before my time, Princess Diana inspired me in a way. 
As much she was known for het kindness, charity and the scandal that surrounded her marriage, 
she was also known for her wonderful sense of style that influenced a generation of women, like me. 
It's so cute to see the difference from Lady Di's early days when she was sort of shy in her clothing,
 untill she went to premieres and parties wearing Versace and Catherine Walker
As Vogue said: "We remember the style of a true fashion icon". I couldn't agree more.

             Princess Diana worked closely with Elizabeth               At the UK premiere of James Bond Film
                and Daniel Emanuel on the dress, which              Octopussy she wore a white asymmetric gown

               The Princess chose a white peplum-waisted              Diana wore a militairy-style skirt suit by
                  skirt suit and pearl jewellery to visit the             Catherine Walker with a white hat by Graham
                                   Guards Polo Club                                Smith at the Passing out parade at Sandhurst

            Princess Diana chose a white Catherine Walker           She wore a pinstripe blazer with a baseball 
              dress, with pearl and sequins for the British              cap and track pants tucked into boots when
                                  Fashion Awards                                            she took Prince Harry to school

               With Prince William on her side, she wore a              Princess Diana chose an appropriateley

              She arrived at a wedding holding hands with        Diana wasn't afraid to get a little wet. She chose
                  her son Harry wearing a green buttoned            brown Chelsea boots, black jeans and a water-
                           skirt suit with matching hat                      proof jacket for her trip down the waterslide.

MY FIRST MOODBOARD

Today I stayed in bed all day because I'm not feeling well, I think I might get the flu or something. 
But no problem, now I have time to fix everything. I started to add some feathers on my blazer 
(to be continued...) and I tried to make a moodboard on my iPad. 
Since a couple of weeks I'm really inspirated by Cruella de Ville. O okay I have to admit something, when I was a child I was already fascinated by her. I think she's an amazing style-icon! Just love it!
So here is my first moodboard; what do you think?

DIY: STUDDED BLAZER

Last year around this time I was surviving Sweden, but as you may know 
a lot of friends came over to Stockholm to visit me. 
One of them, Esmée, asked me if I had some free time to could put some studs on her blazer.
 Guess what? I did got a lot of time, so I made this for her! I made it typical Esmée :-) and she liked it! 
It's really easy to do it yourself, just order some studs and put them on your clothing! Piece of cake!
What do you think about Esmée's blazer? xoxo

BIKERBOOTS VS HIGH HEELS

I have the tendency to only wear heels, correction... HIGH HEELS. Because I'm tiny little bitch ;-) 
but everybody is telling me that I have to wear some kick-ass biker boots. 
I really like them, but not for myself. It's not really my thing! 
But what do you think? Hot or not?

GET THE LONDON LOOK

Hello world,
Yesterday I came back after a few days in London. Two of my Swedish friends, Josefin and Åsa - are living there right now, so I decided to visit them. London is never a bad idea right?
We walked through London city and act like real tourists. I was planning to shop a lot,
but I didn't quite succeed... my parents can be really proud of me.
But if I had more time, it would have been another story.
We visited the London Tower Bridge (which was an amazing experience), ofcourse Oxford Street,
went to Åsa's work at Westfield shopping center, Piccadilly Street, saw the Big Ben
and after that we went back to Oxford street. I bought a super cute dress at Topshop.
I wanted a nice jacket/blazer and fabulous shoes, but I think it wasn't meant to be.

Early yesterday morning we flew back, so we stayed awake all night and took the night buss to the airport.
I am only now recovering a bit. But just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the couple days in London!
So nice it's possible just leave everything behind for a few days.
Dear Josefin and Åsa: thank you so much!! And see you soon in Amsterdam!!

Here some pictures....
