OUTFIT OF A HAPPY HAPPY DAY

BLAZER ZARA | SHIRT SPRMRKT | TROUSERS PRIMARK | SHOES ALYSA MODE | HAIR ACCESSORY H&M | 
SUNGLASESS ANNA DELLO RUSSO FOR H&M

Today I felt like to overdress a bit, and shock the people in Tilburg. Well mission accomplished!

Some people where looking at me like I've lost my mind or something. That's why I had to laugh so hard!

If I had to care about what everybody was thinking about my outfits, I couldn't wear anything.

So... Let's don't care about those people and laught about it!

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: SIENNA MILLER STYLE

BLAZER H&M | MINI DRESS BY MINA | TIGHTS HEMA | SHOES BLINK

I bought this dress 5 years ago in Australia and around that time I saw a picture of Sienna Miller in a magazine wearing my dress! Well that felt great, because she's such a style icon and a inspiration for me. It's a really cute little dress, colorful and cheerful. And it's easy to combine this dress with heels, flats or boots. You likey?? xoxo

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

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

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: STUDS & SPIKES SHOES

JACKET ZARA | SHIRT VINTAGE | TROUSERS PRIMARK | SHOES ALYSA MODE

I made this picture a while ago, as you can see it was fall back then. The shoes I'm wearing here

 are one of my favorite, because they're FIERCE! I bought them at a cute little store called Alysa Mode. 

Haha I feel so honored that they named a shoe store after me (kind of). 

I know it's actually not really daywear, but I wear it to school anyway. Like Anna Dello Russo once said:

"I don't have any daywear, because it's a waste of time for me." and I couldn't agree more!

When I'm wearing these shoes everybody is sort of shocked and asks 'How can you walk on that?'

It's just like normal wedge shoes, it feels totally normal for me. I can even dance on them!

So... when I'm wearing these babies, don't get into a fight with me or you will be hurt haha,

because the spikes are pretty painfull! So be nice, otherwise I'll kick your ass ;-) xoxo

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: STOCKHOLM'S FASHION HIGHLIGHTS

JACKET VERSACE FOR H&M | BLOUSE WHITNEY PORT FOR BIKBOK | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES PRIMARK

More than a year ago I was standing hours and hours in line in front of the H&M for the collection of Versace in Stockholm, for this amazing studded jacket! Love love love it so much!! But that was not the only 'fashion highlight' of my time in Stockholm, I also stood in line in front of the Bikbok (a fabulous Swedish clothing store) for the collection of the one and only Whitney Port. Where this blouse is from. I totally forgot about this cute light pink blouse. It's so nice to find back your forgotten clothing!

Here is the picture from miss Whitney Port and me at the collection launch at Bikbok (not my best picture)

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

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

No words can describe his greatness. Eventhough he's not here anymore, his amazing work is.

Love Alexander McQueens work.

WINTER DIVA LOOK

SUNGLASSES ANNA DELLO RUSSO FOR H&M | COAT KATE MOSS FOR MANGO | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES ALYSA MODE

It was a beautiful winterday, ofcourse way too cold but the sun was shining! And it was stunning!

A good reason to wear these amazing sunglasses from Anna Dello Russo for H&M, don't you think?

I didn't think about this outfit when I went out it on this morning, but when I look at myself in the pictue

I look like a little diva. Haha I wish I could be a diva ;-) no I'm kidding.

Do you guys like this look?

CURLY HAIR AND NO MAKE-UP

I got a new curling iron from Kijkshop.nl for only €15,95 and it works great! After curling my hair, 

I didn't feel like put on some make-up. So this is my "nude'-look. What do you think?

With love, xoxo Alyssa

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!

xoxo

LEOPARD-PRINT: STELLA MCCARTNEY / H&M

Left: leopard-printed trousers and jacket by Stella McCartney | Right: get the same look for less at H&M

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?

BLAZER H&M, FEATHERS CLAIRES | SWEATER ZARA | TROUSERS H&M | SHOES UNKOWN

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! 

xoxo

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!!

xoxo

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 

(horrible to walk in with high heels!!) After the balletclass, the morning ciggy and some pictures in the snow, 

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.
