HERMÈS AND REI KAWAKUBO (COMME DES GARÇONS)

Designer Rei Kawakubo of the label: Comme des Garçons took a look at the archives of Hermès hiding and ceated its own versions of the famous shawls. Kawakubo created six different scarves in February under the name 'Comme des Carres' and will appear on the market. About 200 copies of each design are made​​, writes the Telegraph. The designer studied for inspiration old designs of Hermès from the fifties and seventies.

The Japanese are fascinated by the tradition and knowledge in the production of silk scarves. Hermès makes the scarves still in Lyon, using a method from the 19th century. The production of a scarf that it lasts two years.
Kawakubo previously worked with include Louis Vuitton and H&M. I can't wait to see this collection of scarfs. I love the work of Comme des Garçons!

SNOW-CHIC

 COAT H&M | BLOUSE ZARA | TROUSERS UNKNOWN | SNEAKER ISABEL MARANT


My dream came true! The snow is leaving our country!! So this is probably the last 'Outfit-of-the-Day' post in the snow. I'm so happy, now I can wear finally my high heels again!
Last weekend, I recived a large H&M box full of clothing I ordered. Well actually, my Mom ordered it for me. So I got this leopard jacket, and I totally love this theme for the spring, eventhough it's freezing outside I couldn't care less. Fashion doesn't know any limits, and me neither. I combined the jacket, with an easy look today. I wore my favorite blouse from the Zara, with some jeans and ofcourse the lovely Isabel Marant sneakers! That's the best money I ever spent. You can wear them with anything, and it will always look good on you. Don't you agree? So... what do you think of this look? I call it snow-chic ;-) let me know!

With a lot of love, xoxo A

LOST AND FOUND PHOTOBOOTH

Lost and found. - For my report about my time in Stockholm I was looking for some 'old' pictures on my computer, and then I found these. I think I made them about a year ago when I returned to Tilburg. Love the back and white theme :) I'm glad I found them, so I made a little collage with it. Enjoy your weekend! xoxo

UNCLE KARL AND HIS BAG



Mister Karl Lagerfeld showed off his latest priceless sound bite today. He claims that luxury fashion's success in Europe owes to the fact that "we create a product that nobody needs but want."
Exhibit A: Chanel's hula-hoop-bag.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA: HITCHED UP DRESS

JACKET VERSACE FOR H&M | DRESS MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA FOR H&M | SHOES STEVE MADDEN




Finally I found some time to make a picture of my new Hitched Up Dress by Maison Martin Margiela for H&M. I waited so long, because of the cold... but then I could wait forever! So I decided to make the pictures today. O my god, I was freezing but I was lucky it's not as cold like a couple a days ago. Otherwise I think I wouldn't have survived it. It's such a nice dress, and I really love the color for the summer (when you have a little tan). So I combined it with another eyecatching item in my wardrobe, the studded leather jacket from Versace for H&M, which I got in Stockholm last year. Perfect with the Steve Madden nude shoes with a black accent. I love these pictures, because of the red and the contrast with the white snow.

PARIS FASHION WEEK 2013 WITHOUT MCQUEEN

Sad news for all the Alexander McQueen fans, the British fashion-label wont be giving a show at the Paris Fashion Week this March, because designer Sarah Burton will be with maternity leave. She's pregnant with twins and decided not to travel to Paris for Fashion Week. That's too bad, because I adore Alexander McQueen so much, I was so curious to see the new collection. McQueen will have a private presentation on the 5th of March to show the fall/winter collection 2013-2014. But... that's only on invitation for around hundred people. So no McQueen for me ;-) haha
The next spring/summer 2014 collection will be showed on the next Paris Fashion Week, announed Burton.

But here some beautiful Alexander McQueen couture from this season, spring/summer 2013.... Stunning, and what a inspiration!

STUDS-AND-CHAINS

BLAZER WITH STUDS ONLY | BLOUSE ZARA | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES UNKNOWN

As you may now, I love studs. About two years ago I bought some studs at the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam and put them on my shorts, jackets, bags and other stuff. And now, they're all hot and happening. I feel a bit like a trendsetter. 
A while ago my mom came to visit me in Tilburg, afther we had lunch at the opening of the Bagels and Beans we had a little shoppingtrip. I was so dissapointed I didn't saw a thing I liked, that I became a bit desperate. So I went to the Only, and there I saw this blazer with studs and chains. I immediatley fell in love with it (ofcourse) and I had to buy it. There was one problem, I didn't had the money because of all the Christmas-shopping. 
So I looked at my Mom, and she got it for me. I'm one lucky girl. It's such an eye-catching item in my wardrobe. I'm so looking foward to create some new looks and outfits with this blazer. 
In this picture I combined the blazer with a neutral blouse (which is, as you may see on my blog, one of my favorite items) and a printed blue jeans with... studded high heels! I think this is a though look, but also classy at the same time?

I made this picture at the rock-academy department at school with Paulien, she has an amazing Make-Up & Beauty-blog @ http://azarabeauty.wordpress.com/ check it out! 

What do you think about this look? And do you like my new blazer? :) Let me know!

Have a nice day,
with love xoxo

SNOW LEOPARD LOOK OF THE DAY

BLAZER H&M | FRINGE SHIRT VINTAGE | JEANS H&M | SNEAKERS ISABEL MARANT

And... there is still snow. ME NO LIKEY! Yesterday it started snowing like crazy (again), and now the Netherlands is screwed up: trains are not going, busses are late and planes are delayed. And me? I'm laying in bed right now! I got up for the morning ballet-class, but the teacher got stuck in the train somewhere Amsterdam. So decided to go back to my lovely bed. But before I went back, I shot my 'Outfit of the day' at the frozen fontain! I was so cold without my wintercoat, but it was worth it. I felt a bit like a snow leopard in my new blazer from the H&M. I got it this weekend, and totally love it. I was trying to make some new looks with it, but the snow didn't let me be creative today. All the outfits were a bit too cold to wear. So this is it! Now I posted this look, I can go back to work on all these essays. Let me know what you think of this look!

With love, xoxo Alyssa

AMSTERDAM FASHION WEEK 2013


Amsterdam Fashion Week 2013 started yesterday! I was in Amsterdam with my parents so visit an open day at the Vogue Academy. After the open day, we had some lunch and my dad asked me what I want for my birthday. You will be surprised, but... I really don't know. So we went to one of my favorite shoe stores in the world: SHOEBALOO at the Cornelisz Schuytstraat in Amsterdam. There was a little exposition with really rare and vintage Thierry Mugler couture. So there I stood with a glass of champagne admiring the hommage to the iconic designer. Wow, it was beautiful, and such an inspiration. It was stunning!


After the Shoebaloo, we went to Museumplein. There was a whole big happening going on. AFW and thé Model Logde organized a fashionshow on ice. O it was so cold and all the models were walking in dresses and strappy sandals. Brrrrr... Respect for them! Haha I couldn't handle the cold for too long. So we took of to have some drinks and dinner, to get warm! What a lovely day, with so much inspiration. This dumbass forgot her camera, but that's why we have the internet! So enjoy your fashion week ;-)

with love, xoxo A

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA: LEATHER JACKET

I made a promise last time that I would make a better picture of my Maison Martin Margiela items. Here is the first one, the leather biker jacket. It's not very easy to wear because it's quite heavy, and the leather is also quite hard. But, like Anna Dello Russo once said: "Fashion is always uncomfortable, when you feel comfortable you never get the look."
So here it is. I'm very happy with it, and I'm trying to create some look with it. Today I decided to dress all black, so everybody could take a look at my jacket ;-) haha. I felt like the 'Lady in Black'.
What do you think?

CANDY-GIRL OUTFIT OF THE DAY

BLAZER H&M | TOP NEWLOOK | TROUSERS ZARA | SHOES UNKNOWN

In a way this outfit reminds me of a candy-store. I think it's because of the trousers, which I love! Just love the new black-and-white trend this spring. And it's easy to combine with any color. Today I decided to choose a red blazer. I bought this one a year ago at the H&M, but then I dyed my hair pink, well... only dipped ends ;-) but pink and red doesn't match. So I forgot about this blazer... But's it's nice to re-invented it.
What do you think about this look?

FROZEN FOUNTAIN

JACKET ZARA | SWEATER MANGO | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES PRIMARK

I took this photo a while ago, as you can see - because it's snowing like crazy today! So I'm trying not to leave the house today! In the winter when it's freezing, this fountain is all frozen. In February a year ago I allready blogged about it, you can find it here. It's so beautful! When I bike to school every morning I pass this fountain, already for four years! Such a nice location. And eventhough it was so cold, the sun was shining, so that makes everything better! Hopefully the snow and the cold will be gone soon, so I can wear my skirts and dresses again! Haha I hate the winter!

So... keep calm, and drink some tea & enjoy this snowy day! 

With love, 
xoxo

S U M M E R 2 0 1 3

As you may know, I don't like the cold. Guess what? It's cold today! My butt is freezing off... But I'm having some nice things to look foward to. I'm going to travel quite a lot this spring/summer!
My Mom and Dad decided around Christmas to take me to Singapore (for a serious shopping trip) in May! Can't wait to visit the sun, and leave the coldness and darkness behind. Can you imagine in the spring: going to Sentosa beach, having cocktails, enjoy the nice food and shop 'till you drop! Singepore: HERE I COME!!

After that holiday, I'm probably going to graduate... and maybe there's a Interrail vacation trhough Europe (but not planned or booked yet). And I'm hoping I'll be moving to Amsterdam around that time and enjoy life there. Can't wait to live there, everytime I think about that I get happy!

Last but not least, in August I'm going to Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain) with my parents. My dad just booked it, as a sort of present for my graduation - haha so now I have to pass all the exams ;-) So yes, this picture fit's this situation right now: This summer is for Art and Adventures! I can't wait to go there, having an amazing experience and making beautiful pictues!

But now, I've to work my ass of for school and work to get my Bikini-body in May! Hahaha... Crap! For today, I had my ballet-class and now I'm not leaving the house anymore because it started snowing.
Enjoy your day, and I'm going to do some more paperwork...
xoxo Alyssa
