PERFECT SUMMER DAY @ VONDELPARK, AMSTERDAM

Today it was the perfect summer day, so I took a little skate-trip through Amsterdam and ended (as usual) at the Vondelpark for a little break. I enjoyed the weather so much, it was sunny but not too warm. At the moment this is one of my favorite looks, specially because of this amazing blazer I got at a store in the '9 straatjes' called By Fabrio. I just love all these colors, such a happy little jacket and perfect for this kind of weather don't you think? Another one of my favorite items right now is this short/skirt from Zara (I got them in black as well), it's easy to wear because it's though and feminine at the same time and you can combine it in so many ways, I think it's a must-have for in your wardrobe this summer!

I always get so happy on days like this, I wish it could be summer everyday! Than life would be so much easier ;-) Enjoy your summer-holidays, with love xoxo Alyssa

WINING AND DINING IN ROTTERDAM

Yesterday I had a wine-date with my friend Maaike from the dance academy. It was a nice summer day, perfect for a little shopping-trip, terrace-time with a lot of talking and of course having some wine. What a lovely day, for a moment it felt like we were in school again; bringing up memories and gossip. The only thing we were missing were the delicious tosti's from Anvers, but all by all it was such a nice day. Check out my vacation-look: I'm wearing a white/green ombre-blazer, with a basic top from H&M combined with one of my favorite items at the moment the short/skirt from Zara. To complete my outfit I choose to wear these colorful shoes which I got years ago at the New Look, and a classy clutch. What do you think about this look?

MULTI-COLORED BLAZER 'BY FABRIO'

When I walked through the '9 straatjes' in Amsterdam I ran into this cute little store called 'By Fabrio', they sell really nice clothing for nothing more than €29,95. Perfect, don't you agree? When I took a look at their collection I found this amazing multi-colored blazer, and I instantly fell in love with it. I had to buy it, otherwise I would never forgive myself ;-) so.. I got it, and I'm so happy with it. It's the perfect little jacket for the summer, because of all these nice colors you get immediately happy! I combined it with my 'the New Icons' shirt for H&M and these fringe shorts (also H&M). Together with my Jimmy Choo's it's the perfect outfit, don't you think? At the moment it's one of my favorite outfits of the day. Meanwhile I'm enjoying Amsterdam the fullest, still looking for a place to live here in the city but I can't wait to start with my new education at the Vogue Academy and make beautiful creative things! For now, enjoy these lovely summer days, before you know it it's over ;-) with love xoxo

ON THE EDGE OF GLORY

This is one of the last 'outfit of the day' pictures I had made in Tilburg. This dress is so difficult to wear, because of the 'open' mesh parts on the stomach. It can look slutty very easy, if you know what I mean. I bought this one because it was an challenge for me to combine it with something else so it's more wearable. This dress reminded me also of the collection of designer Alexander Wang. I combined this dress with one of my favorite items at the moment, the oversized blazer with printed sleeves from Forever21, as you can see on the pictures below it's more classy now. I got the dress at a store in Singapore called Depression, which only sold black and white clothing - for me as a Cruella De Vil maniac it was heaven! The blazer was also bought in Singapore, one big shopping paradise! I really want to go back, o boy I wish I had all the money on the world so I could spend it there ;-) What do you think of my 'Edge of Glory' look? xoxo

B ACADEMY HAIR-SHOW BY ALISA VAN VAALEN

Last Thursday I was a model for my best friend Alisa hair-show of the B-academy in Amsterdam. As you might know because I've told you this a couple times, Alisa is an amazing hair-stylist and I'm so proud of her!! Wednesday there was a make-over day, she dyed my (ombre)hair pinky-peach and cut it - you can see the before and after on the 2nd picture below. Thursday was the real deal, the one and only fashion show! The theme was NEON and she made this amazing hairdo, with GOLD(!!!) and a lot of pink and purple, me likey! It hurt like hell, but.. you know: it's not easy being pretty ;-) hihi. 

There was also a classmate of Alisa, Dennis von Mauw who made also an fabulous hairdo, but I'm going to blog about that another time! I'll keep you posted, but for now: enjoy the FASHIONABLE hair xoxo

B O Y F R I E N D - C H I C

Normally I'm the skinny-jeans kinda girl, but one day I just bought these boyfriend jeans at the H&M and I'm hooked. The looks you can create with it is endless. You can go for sporty look, or casual, comfy or wear it with heels like I did. To make it a bit more feminine, but not too girly girly. It's sort of edgy and sexy but also classy because of the blazer. I got this one at the Forever 21 in Singapore, and I wear it all the time, in a way it fits almost every look.

I combined this look with my new bag (also from Singapore) which I got at Charles & Keith, it's a simple bag but with nice summer colors. The shoes are also from Charles and Keith, and they match perfectly with the blazer, don't you think. I made this pictures a while ago as you can see, when the sun was shining. I hope it will return one of these days! For now, enjoy your (holi)day! xoxo

SUNNIES ALDO

I HEART AMSTERDAM

Today I spent my day in Amsterdam, just walking around the city and enjoying life. It's so nice to be there, can't wait to live there next month! It was a lovely day, with a lot of sunshine. I had some wine on the terrace at de canal 'de Amstel' and it really felt like a holiday, such a nice atmosphere! During the day I watched a lot of people pass by, and I was so amazed because they all look fashionable. I walked across Amsterdam and I really fell in love with this city! I heart Amsterdam, big time. Here are some pictures of my today's look, really casual but edgy as well - with my new bag from Singapore which I bought at this amazing store Charles & Keith. 

Hopefully you enjoyed your day as well, with love xoxo A.

SEX & THE CITY CHIC

Yesterday was a perfect summer day, the perfect opportunity to wear my red hat. I really I felt like a celebrity when I was walking around Tilburg. When I was re-organizing my wardrobe, I found this jumpsuit from Asos.com which I bought 4 years ago, it's so nice when you re-invent old clothing. It's a easy going look, but with the hat and the fierce red heels, it more edgy like something Carrie Bradshaw would wear in Sex and the City when she's out for a cosmopolitan. My friend Alisa dyed my hair last week, and I'm so happy with it! More blond at the ends, perfect for the summer! So... let the holiday begin! Cheers fashionista's, enjoy the nice weather with some drinks! Adios, xoxo A

QUOTE OF THE DAY

A couple days ago I passed by this shoe-shop in Singapore and I saw this quote on the wall, I think it's made for me. Funny cause it's true! I love shoes, and yes they make me happy. I don't care what other people think about it.
I'm here in Singapore for a week now, and I fell in love with this country. So much energy, and still a nice atmosphere. The people here have a good taste in fashion, and my gosh the shopping area is AMAZING!! I really wish sometimes I had all the money in the world, so I could spend it here!. I'm staying here only until Thursday, so I will enjoy it the fullest. One thing for sure, the sun is the only thing that keeps me happy! Hope you have a nice holiday as well xoxo Alyssa

PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS IN YOUR HAIR

Yes! I got featherextentions! Finally, I've been waiting for so long to get these babies in my hair! And yesterday it was the day it happened. I'm in love with it, it's such a cute hippie look. I feel like Pocahontas or whatever. So, if the sun will be shining anytime soon... that would be perfect!

ALISA VAN VAALEN, BEST HAIRSTYLIST/BEST FRIEND

Alisa is one of my best friends, we met eachother at the dance academy a couple years ago and are inseparable ever since. Alisa and Alyssa, also known as Ali and Aly & girls with the A. What a duo!

Alisa decided study at the B-academy in Amsterdam to become a hair-stylist. And believe me, she rocks. I know it was a hard decission to make for her, but it was totally worth it. Such an inspiration, and I'm really proud of her. ♡
While she was still dancing at the academy, she worked in a hairsalon and sometimes she dyed my hair a shade darker or lighter. At one point we were both at a stage where we wanted to experiment with our hair, so I decided to take 'Pink Dipped Ends'. Totally fashionable last summer. But, I wasn't her only customer, half the school had joined Alisa's hairsaloon. After a while I got sort of bored with my pink hair, and I went over to ombre hair (which I still have, and still very happy with).

Even though Alisa is no longer at my school, yet I keep coming back to her to get my hair done, and I'm not the only one. She works at Salon B, Amsterdam (which her ​​education is a part of). Before the summerholidays she took me to her work as a model, and I got a Color Shine treatment. Great stuff, your hair gets a boost, it's very shiny and feels like silk. I'm addicted to this treatment, I totally love love love it. You can check it out on the pictures.
So if you need a great hair-stylist, you have to contact Alisa van Vaalen @ www.alisavanvaalen.blogspot.com
