INTERNSHIP @ THE DARLING, AMSTERDAM

This week I started my internship at the Darling in the nine streets in Amsterdam. It's a little store, whick looks like a little girls bedroom; a lot of pink and all kinds of cute girly stuff. They sell customized clothing, bags, nailpolish and jewelry. Besides that, it's a cafe as well. You can have nice fresh juices, coffee and tea and... (this is the best part) CUPCAKES + MACAROONS. When you walk into the store it's like you're walking into a doll-house, everything is just really cute. Such a nice atmosphere, me likey (big time!). I already customized a shirt, which you can buy now. I'm so excited because I'm learning a lot, and I'm having fun creating new things and look for inspiration. Next week I'm starting at Vogue Academy, I have the feeling this might be a good year after all. Everything falls into place, and I'm happy to be busy with the things I love to do. Take a look at some pictures of the Darling, and if you're in the neighborhood; come and drop by for a little shopping-session or some coffee and a cupcake (I'm working on Tuesdays and Fridays, just to let you know hihi). xoxo Alyssa

THE ALYSSA-ISSUE

It's the first of September, and as you Fashionista's may know; it's September-Issue time. Very important. This month is special for me, so I call it the Alyssa-Issue. This month is a sort of new beginning or something. In a way I feel like a new person. Tuesday I'm going to start an internship at the Darling in the Nine Streets in Amsterdam. It's feels a bit like I'm starting a whole new life, with all new special things... and: I'm so excited to begin this 'new life'. Can't wait to create new things and learn the ins and outs about designing clothing and fashion. Next week is my first day at the Vogue Academy, so it gets better and better! It feels like my life is beginning to turn upside down, but in a good way. And, don't you agree, with a new beginning; there must be a new look. So this is my outfit-of-the-day, Alyssa 2.2 (also known as: the Alyssa-Issue). On top of that, I made an appointment to change my hair as well. So I can start fresh, all bright and shiny! Amsterdam, Alyssa is ready for you!

TUTU-CHIC

After a couple amazing days at Terschelling I returned today in Amsterdam. I was so excited about everything, I wanted to wear my 'customized' tutu. A couple years ago I bought a white see-through petticoat in a Vintage store, and made a sort of tutu skirt out of it. Just like Carrie in Sex and the City. I already posted it a while ago, you can check this outfit here. But this time I combined my favorite Tutu-skirt with an denim blouse and a black-and-white striped shirt. To complete this look I'm wearing the Jimmy Choo's heels from H&M. What do you think? You limey? xoxo
