Event: MBFWA Tony Cohen ❤


     HELLO LOVELY READERS

The day I got to meet Evelina Barry, was the same day I went to MBFWA Tony Cohen's fashion show. This was one fashion show I really wanted to attend, but I had no tickets and no invitations. Luckily a few days before the show, I was unexpectedly given two tickets by a friend of mine. Lucky me! :D As always, I loved the collection. Full of dark colors, head accessories and edgy pieces!

Amsterdam Meetup with Evelina Barry! ❤


Fashion Blogger Youtube Guru Evelina Barry Amsterdam Meetup 2014
Yesterday was a very busy day for me in Amsterdam! First, I had the amazing opportunity to meet one of my all-time favorite youtube guru & fashion blogger, Evelina Barry. She announced a couple of weeks ago that she got invited to attend a few AFW shows and that she would have a meet-up with her Dutch subscribers. I could not contain my excitement! She is seriously the sweetest girl ever and you can tell that she was so touched by how many people showed up. And to my own surprise, she is soooo short! I did not expect that! I feel like we could be short bff's together lol <3

Event: Vodafone Firsts Fashion Lab - David Laport ❤


Before anything, I want to give a huge thank you to Vodafone for picking me and my blog to attend one of the Firsts Fashion Lab fashion shows during MBFWA! 

This year Vodafone presented Firsts Fashion Lab, which is a great opportunity for young Dutch fashion designers to showcase their new collection and develop and extent their network. Last Friday me and my friend Omaily attended the 'David Laport' fashion show. "David Laport is a young contemporary fashion label who creates experimental women's wear."

MBFWA 10DAYSDOWNTOWN - DAY3: BLOGGERSCAFE ❤


Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. And to celebrate, they've come up with: 10DAYSDOWNTOWN. 10 Events in 10 Days on 10 different Locations. Yesterday I traveled to Amsterdam to attend the Bloggerscafe by Fashionchick. A lovely (+ free) event for every blogger, journalist and lover of fashion to come together and network! :-) After a whole hour of bloggers catching up and sipping on some delicious Baileys Chocolate Luxe, we were welcomed into a room full of balloons, chairs and goodiebags. The next hour was filled with inspiring and funny stories from three successful bloggers: Monique van Loon, Yvonne Eijkenduijn & Anouk Bas. All three shared their secret recipe to a successful blog.

Spring-proof Shoes from Forever 21 ❤


Ever since we passed the month of December, I was kinda already over winter. I just want Spring and Summer to get here. And when they do, I want them to actually feel like Spring and Summer. All Dutchies  will probably know what I mean (and agree) :-) But to help get you in the spirit of the upcoming seasons, I'll share my favorite Forever21 shoes that totally get a Spring-proof stamp by yours truly. 
The two cut-out booties in the background are my absolute favorites. They're nothing like shoes I would normally wear or have worn before, but they instantly caught my eye! Other favorites were the red stiletto sandals with a golden ankle strap, the leopard print heels and the black wedge sandals with gold metal detailing. 

 See more of their new shoe collection here, and let me know which ones are your favorites!

Getting You Ready: Valentine's Day Outfits ❤


Some of you might not want to hear it, but today is exactly one month till Valentine's day. ? or ?
Now ever since my existence, I've never had a date on Valentine's day, but I always get excited anyways. I mean, pink (and red) hearts anywhere... my inner girlyness is already excited. But anyways, in case you do have special plans on this day, I want to give you some outfit inspiration to get your V-day look ready.

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Look numero 1: For this Elegance look I picked out this gorgeous powder pink PVC midi skirt first and then completed the look with a cute floral bra top. To make the outfit sort-of "winterproof" I added this white furry scarf. And for the accessories I kinda wanted to stay in the same soft color scheme of the outfit.  
Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Look numero 2: With this outfit I had the "I know it's Valentine's day, but don't I want to seem too eager to dress that way" Casual look in mind. I paired this cute daisy print dress with a nice-looking fedora, knee-high socks and red wine creeper shoes. I didn't want to shoes and purse to be too matchy matchy, so I opted for a plum/purple colored one. 
Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Look numero 3: I am still in love with the Monochrome trend, can you tell? This look is personally my favorite, because I am just so in love with this sexy monochrome crop top and the tweed pencil skirt- combination. And I thought it was really cool to pair this outfit with these matching multi-colered shoes AND bag. 
Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Look numero 4:  This ultra Feminine look is obviously also one of my favorites. Isn't the back of this polka dot jumpsuit just so cool? And I love that the bottoms are not skinnies, but very flowy and comfortable. To cover up the back (but not completely!) when going outside for instance, I opted for a cute powder pink cropped jacket. And the girly shoes and accessories to complete the outfit. 

I can't wait to see what you think of my looks. These are just four really cute outfit ideas, but I have tons more created in my head haha. So if you want more ideas, let me know in the comments. And also mention if there is a specific trend you want me to use.

Trend: Tutu Skirts ❤


As a former ballet dancer, one trend I would really like to take on is the Tutu Skirts. Also known as 'tulle skirts'. I remember the first time seeing a Tutu-Skirt outfit on tumblr a few weeks back and I just stared at it in awe, no joke. And ever since I haven't stopped seeing them on other fashion blogs. That's why I wanted to share some of my favorite tutu looks with you today. And who knows, maybe you'll fall in love with them too.

My Wishlist: January 2014 ❤


I haven't shared a wishlist in a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been adding items to it. There will always be something I wish I could add to my wardrobe. All of these items for example :-) As you can see the grey, cold and windy Dutch weather has definitely had an influence on the color scheme, but luckily there is still some pop of color here and there. 

What's on my wishlist?

PRIMARK SS14 Collection ❤

I'm sure you must have seen the PRIMARK SS14 Collection featured on a lot of fashion blogs already, but I for one just can not get over it! I loooove that this new collection consists of sweet bubblegum colors, tropical prints, white x white, monochrome trend and holographic items! The entire collection is separated into different themes, like: 'Bubblegum High', 'Polaroid Nostalgia', 'Sandstorm', 'Dream Punk', 'Hip Trip' and 'Modern Couture'. I can not wait for this collection to be available in stores here in the Netherlands. I LITERALLY CAN NOT WAIT!!!! 

Seeing all the pictures taken on the press day, makes me so jealous that I wasn't there. But seeing the clothes makes me oh so happy. And knowing that they will be available for purchase in just a couple of months, gives me butterflies lol.

(1) Seeing this white/pink matching separates for the very first time, I FREAKED OUT! I got so obsessed with it ever since! This outfit will hopefully be the very first thing I pick up. (2) I love the round retro-but-not-completely sunglasses. (3) For some reason I fell in love with this outfit and the fact that they are two completely different patterns but fit perrrrrfffff together! 

 I long for the summer, thus the days I get to wear this amazing collection! <3

New In: End of 2013 Shopping ❤


On the last day of 2013, I decided to go on a little shopping trip just to end off the year on a good note. I've been such a big online shopper lately, that I hardly ever go to the city anymore. But when I do, I never fail to bring home some great items. 
The first thing I picked up was this awesome coat from NewLook. I love the material, the fit and it keeps me so warm! And I got it on sale for just €19. 
The next things I got are from H&M. It's been such a long time since I shopped at H&M. But I always find the cutest stuff. First item is this cute cream semi-cropped blouse. Size XS was the only one left and I was afraid it wouldn't fit me, because it looked way smaller. But it's so form fitting, so it looked great. Next item, is this cute cut-out blouse. I definitely like this blouse, because it so happens you can either wear the cut-out in the front or in the back. Major plus for versatility. 

I definitely need to try and do more offline shopping, since I always manage to score items I love!
