Orange for Queensday ❤

Tomorrow we celebrate Queensday which is another word for: Orange Fever. The streets will be filled with this bright and trendy color. I have no plans yet on how I'll be celebrating [but to be honest, I'm not feeling Queensday this year], nor what I'll be wearing...maybe these pictures might help. The secret is to keep the orange in your outfit very subtle rather than wearing multiple (5+) orange items, unless you are actually going for that "hello, I know it's crazy crowded in the streets, but I still want you to notice me" look. But I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going for that look.

 Do you know what you're wearing (& where you're celebrating) yet?

Take a Look inside my Wardrobe ❤

Remember the sneak peek of my shoes I posted couple of months ago? My wardrobe is finally on AlyzoFashionNews. Every week they chose a new Fashionista to show off their wardrobe, to inspire other fashion lovers. Awesome right? 

Head on over to the wardrobe to see my feature. It's in Dutch, but you can always use a translator. Tell me what you think!

A BIG thank you to AFN.

Trend: Arm Candy ❤

I've never been one to go crazy over bracelets. Rings and necklaces? Yes. But never bracelets. But I'm noticing a sudden change. Ever since, the 'arm candy' trend I've been wanting to fill up my wrists with lots of cute jewelry. The most fun about this trend is, that it doesn't matter if the bracelets don't match. Also the more you wear, the better! 

a 10 for Inspiration #050

So as most of you know, today was supposed to be the Big day of our SHBDP Event. But due to unforeseen reasons we had to cancel unfortunately. I'm so sad about it. But an update post will follow soon. Nevertheless, it's still a great day for fashion inspiration!

 Have a fabulous weekend.

Advertorial: 70's style - to the max

You can't change the past. And it's probably a good thing, as the days of years gone by have borne some of fashion's most iconic silhouettes and styles, many of which haven't changed a bit in more recent times. And we wouldn't have it any other way.

Fashionistas all over the UK are going retro with their wardrobe. And for summer 2012, it's time to let the sunshine in the hemlines down because the 70's are back - particularly in the form of the maxi. Evening maxi dresses are one of the hottest trends this season, and it's easier than ever to get your hands on one of these floor-skimming stunners.

Vintage garments gold mines are literally popping up everywhere. Coming soon to both Islington and Hampstead are fashion fairs positively brimming with prime, one-of-a-kind finds from yesteryear. But if you're in the mood to get the look ASAP, all you need to do is get online. Isme has a gorgeous collection of maxis to suit every size, shape and celebration - from laidback weekends in the park, to glam nights out on the town.

Whether you stood in line at Studio 54 or just dream about it, it doesn't get any more 70's chic that this sleek number from Teatro. It's perfect for an upscale evening and will suit nearly every frame. The halter neckline accentuates the décolleté, whilst the loose draping skims in all the right places. The built-in chunky gold necklace is not only perfectly on point with this season's oversize accessory trend, is also saves you from having to search for the perfect outfit accent - meaning less time styling and more time socialising!

Channel the Charlie's Angels vibe with this glittering, one shoulder look. Its floating fit makes it flattering for all, and the summery shade lets you easily transition from day to night. Wear this, and wherever you are, you'll be the belle of the ball - or the cocktail bar. It's perfect for nearly any occasion, except of course, a summer wedding - upstaging the bride is never a good look. 

Go 70's safari-esque with this halter by South Petite. The  halter style is nearly universally flattering, whilst the tribal vibe is bang on trend for summer 2012. Elongating the frame, this particular dress is also ideal for ladies who might be lacking in the height department. So take your tailor off speed dial and get ready to hit the town!

On my Wishlist: Colored Blazers ❤

Every fashionista knows that one very basic must-have item to have in your closet, is the Blazer! It's a 24hour fashionable item, meaning you can wear it the whole day. In the day time a (colored) blazer can instantly make your casual/ simple outfit go to a trendy outfit. And in the night time you can wear a Blazer to glam up your outfit and also to keep you a little warmer. 

Colored blazers have been in fashion for quite some time now, making street fashion even more fun to look at. But there are a 4 specific colors that I can't wait to get my hands on myself.

What I'm Wearing This Summer #01❤

Since I am TOTALLY disappointed in this Dutch Spring weather lately -well it couldn't have been a complete surprise right?- there's not much to do than think about upcoming summer! I'm longing for slippers, bikini's, shorts and everything short. Is it totally crazy to start thinking about what I want to wear? I think not. 

These days I'm totally crazy about black & white (vertical) stripes! Aztec print, color blocking, pastel... I adoreeeee. And I'm forever loving the leopard trend! 

Do you have any favorite trends you can't wait to wear this summer? 

Is there something about these outfits that you would change? Or do you love it as much as I do?!
