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!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIFES CHIC

Hola bitches, the sun is shining and I'm one happy little lady! Today I'm living like a Desperate Housewife, I went to my balletclass, did some tanning, went swimming, cleaned my room, did some groceries, packed some clothing, did my laundry and last but not least I made a lot of drawings for my portfolio. See, a Desperate Housewife over here!!
When I was shooting my Outfit of the day photo with my friend Paulien, she told me I looked like Gaby from Desperate Housewifes haha and she's right. I felt like a lady, who's going to have a cocktail or something. I'm wearing it with a white shirt from the Mango. And this leopard printed coat, is one of my new items. I love it, it's so chique - don't you think?

SAY HELLO TO MY CRUELLA DE VIL PROJECT

I adore Cruella De Vil, she's just so stylish and evil. And I totally dig the whole Black&White theme, she has going on. I'm trying to make a black and white trousers, and I'll call it my "Cruella De Vil' Project. Just to keep me busy these day. And on top of that, I have to draw a shitload for my portfolio. Luckily I have inspiration enough to make this work. So... keep up checking my blog for updates. For now, so long! I have to draw ;-) xoxo Alyssa

LAZY MONDAY

Whenever I don't feel very well I have to watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn. I just love that movie, and she's such a style icon! Today, is one of those days. I couldn't do anything, except lay in bed with a cup of tea and a bunch of old movies. I did some research about Mrs. Hepburn, and gosh she had such an intresting life. She used to live in the Netherlands, trained to be a ballerina and was one of the most beautiful women on earth. Another movie I have to watch on these lazy mondays is "Sophie's Choice" with Meryl Streep, as you may know I'm a huge fan of her. She's the greatest actress on earth. Don't you think? xoxo Alyssa

A PART OF MY SHOE-COLLECTION!

and the worst part is, this isn't even everything. I know, I know... I'm a shoe-a-holic! You can call me superficial, but I don't care. My motto is: More Shoes Make More Sense. I don't know what it is, but they make my happy. Everytime I felt sad or something, I went to the city to buy shoes (or to get my ears pierced). And this is the result, I think I can start a museum or something. But what I told you before, I feel so much better when I'm wearing these babies, I feel tall, feminine and sexy. And it's not all designer shoes, they're from H&M, Zara, River Island, Primark, New Look, Alysa Mode, Aldo Shoes, Steve Madden, Maison Martin Margiela for H&M, Isabel Marant, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo for H&M.
What do you guys think of my little shoe-collection, I don't have the same amount of shoes like Anna Dello Russo or Imelda Marcos, but it's a beginning ;-) enjoy your sunday! With love, xoxo Alyssa

LASTWEEK SUMMER, TODAY WINTER

I made these pictures a week ago, it was a sunny day and it was about 18 degrees. And today it's -2 and there's snow! What is happening to the world? I really miss the sun, it makes me happy and you can wear your summer-outfits again.
On these pictures below I'm wearing my new hat I got from the Monki. It's a bit over the top, but I like it that way. Combined with my mint green shorts by Dutch designer Darryl van Wouw. Such a nice item, but sometimes difficult to match with other clothing, because there's a lot of color and there's so much happening. Another item I re-invented in my closet were my Jimmy Choo's shoes from H&M a couple years ago. They're really cute, and sexy in a way.

I hope the sun will return to the Netherlands soon, because it's really sucks right now. I feel like laying in bed all day with a cup of tea and have a wintersleep or something. I hope you enjoyed the 'spring/summer' days last week, and have a nice day! When I look at these pictures, I can almost feel the summer ;-) xoxo A

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
