Camo Christmas

December 25, 2014

Location: Chanel PC Hoofstraat,  Amsterdam

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you will be able to spend these festive days with your family and loved ones and enjoy it all as much as you can! When it comes down to my Christmas party outfit, I am all about lace, sparkles and statement jewelry. In this outfit post, I wanted to make sure my party outfit was a modern look with an edgy twist. So I added a camouflage print skirt in a shiny material. I kept the rest of the outfit glamorous featuring a lace top, statement chandelier earrings and a beaded clutch. Perfect for any Christmas occasion right?  What do you think?

Fabulously Flared

December, 20, 2014

Happy Saturday everyone

Boot cut and flared jeans are back with a vengeance. I purchased the pair I am wearing  months ago at the Levi's store, so I thought it was finally time to style and post them on the blog. What I love about flared jeans is the fact that they are extremely comfortable and make your legs look so much longer. After wearing skinny jeans for years now, this pair is just like the boyfriend jeans such a refreshing change! I thought they would look fabulous with this stunner of a burgundy leather jacket with attached faux fur collar by Dutch designer Tony Cohen. I grabbed this spectacular piece at his sample sale two weeks ago, and I am seriously obsessed with it ever since and have been wearing it quite a lot already,. I just love the deep and rich color and with details like the bold zippers this piece is such a one of a kind that I will be wearing it for years to come.

Josh V Fashion Show

December 16, 2014

Location: Ahoy Rotterdam

Hey everyone 

How are you all doing? As you all know I love visiting a good fashion show. Last Sunday I went to The Excellent Fair in Rotterdam where I attended a fabulous show by Dutch fashion designer, model and it-girl: Josh V. 

Miss V's designs are very feminine, created using rich and luxurious fabrics like gold, metallic and lots of faux furs. Me being one appreciating anything feminine and glam when it comes to fashion this was the perfect show to attend. Josh presented a collection appropriate for the holidays coming up which she named:The Eleven-Party Collection. Don't we all need a perfect party dress for the holidays coming up? Josh V knows how to create them and after seeing her designs I could only appreciate so much more what this beautiful lady stands for. Creating designs that makes every woman look beautiful and chic, yet is comfortable when wearing and affordable at the same time.

I arrived "fashionably" too late and was able to shoot only the last ten minutes of the show, I know, I know, bad, bad blogger!  I am happy I could at least shoot a few images I get to share with you guys, so I hope you all enjoy!

Holiday Cravings

December 11, 2014

_____________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________

 How to be Parisian //  Embellished Sweater Headband // Navy Polka Dot Neck Bow // All Over Sequin Kimono Dress // Urban Decay naked On The Run // Little Bow Pink Organza Blouse // Holiday Candle Nest Fragrances // Valentino Rouge Absolute Ankle Strap Pump // Valentino Pink Lock Micro Mini Shoulder Bag //  Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau De Parfum // Dior Diorific Nail Vernis // Black Heart Print Mesh Anckle Socks // Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil // Gareth Pugh Mongolian Glove

Hey everyone

In today's post I am sharing a few holiday favorites I have been drooling over for a while now and couldn't resist sharing with you guys. To me the holidays are all about that extra sparkle, fun details, lace accessories and  fuzzy fur pieces to keep me warm yet oozes glam needed for all the festivities coming up.

Being an obsessive Parisian lover I had to add this fun read to my list: How to be Parisian where ever you are. I think this fun and quirky book will make an excellent gift for nearly every fashion lover, right? As you all know, I am a total hat freak and wintertime is the time of year to go all out with tons of different styles available like this embellished gray headband. This eye-catching piece will look great on a very simple look like jeans and a jacket or will add that extra special something to let's say a silk jumpsuit or a leather skirt paired with a silk blazer. I love mixing textures, right? Christmas time is all about bows and how fun is this polka dot neck bow you can seriously attach to any shirt, blouse or dress! The added polka dot print makes this piece very classy yet play full.

 Sequins can not be absent during the holidays, and I just love this open back kimono style sequined number that is even red carpet appropriate if needed and will make you stand out at any party or formal dinner. I am so glad sequins make a come back every year during this season as anything sparkly is quite a favorite of mine.  I am always on the look out for new make up favorites . If you read my blog on a regular basis you must know I am a huge fan off all the naked eye shadow pallets by Urban Decay. I am extremely excited about this limited edition called Urban Decay Naked On The Run because it contains everything you need while on the go like five exclusive eye shadows, blush, bronzer, lip gloss, and mascara. Basically, everything needed for a full make up look. How great is that?

Big Sexy Hair Boost //  Valentino Leopard Cross Body Bag //  Burberry Brit

Feeling festive? How about organza, pink and a bow? I am saying yes please to this stunner of a blouse by Nasty Gal. This one of a kind piece looks great on skirts, jeans, leather shorts you name it.  Now on to a little decor. We can't go without beautiful scented candles during this time of year. Me being quite the candle fanatic I always have a few of them burning in my home. I especially love scented versions. So how about :The Holiday Candle Nest Fragrances. Filled with the aroma of a sparkling holiday season that is created by blending pomegranate, mandarin orange, pine, cloves and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla and amber. They are so good, so do try.  Shoes and bags? When ever I think I am done obsessing over anything Valentino, this designer comes out with something even more fabulous like these red ankle strap pumps and this must have pink mini micro lock shoulder bag. Oh, my I can't sleep I am absolutely crazy about them. They will both complete every Christmas dress I can think of. 

Discover Black Opium, the feminine fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent – full of mystery and energy. An addictive gourmand floral with notes of: Black Coffee – for a shot of adrenaline; White Floral – to instantly seduce; and Vanilla – for sweetness and sensuality. How can anyone resist? This Eau de perfume is just perfect to spice up these cold winter days. Let's talk nails!  I think that during this season nails should be a sexy Holiday ruby red. I just found this gorgeous and rich hue by Dior called Diorific Nail Vernis which is also available in: sparkling plum and gold and pearlescent white. It also comes in the most luxurious bottle which will look beautiful on any vanity table in your room right?

Gloves are a huge necessity when it gets this cold so how about spicing them up with furry details like Gareth Pugh did with these edgy pieces? I have quite an extensive collection of gloves, and I would add these to my closet in a heartbeat. I always love a tanned glow at a Christmas dinner or party. What I love about The Honey Bronze is the fact it's a light oil hydrating your skin while adding that bronzed look I am always looking for.  I am closing this list with these cute heart shape printed mesh socks. How cool would they look with a pair of pumps on jeans or knee length skirt? It might be a little too cold for them at the moment, but who cares about being cold when wearing anything this fun and fabulous!

I am curious to hear your favorite pieces of this list and how about Christmas shopping? Have you started already?

Find more of my holiday favorites below and enjoy a fabulous rest of the week everyone!

Winter Pastel

December 9, 2014

Location: Museum Plein, Amsterdam

Hey everyone

First of all I want to apologize for my absence for over a week. I needed some time off but to be honest I missed blogging so much, I am happy to be back with a brand new post again.

Winter time doesn't mean we have to dress in all black outfits all the time. Even summer pastels are appropriate when mixed well like I did with this outfit. I mixed the colors mute pink and lilac and paired it with black and brown for a winter look that doesn't scream summer but is still fun and bright enough to cheer up a gloomy day.

I love mixing textures like: leather, lace and suede. It  makes and outfit appear interesting without being too over powering like when you mix tons of different colors. I kept it all pretty simple because as you know I have been more in to the "less is more" look lately. It is fun to see my own style evolving into something more effortless and clean while keeping the fun twists I am so fond of.

The Adidas VIP Experience

Location Adidas: Utrecht The Netherlands

 

Happy black Friday


I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. Well, about today's post, can you imagine walking into the Adidas store just to grab a few things and all of a sudden you get a VIP treatment  That's exactly what happened to me last week. Adidas has been rewarding random customers daily with a free shopping spree all over Europe. As you can imagine, I was the happiest camper and ran around like a kid in a candy store to check out all the fabulous items I could just shamelessly take home with me. Everything from Adidas is so cool, modern and on trend. I wanted to snatch it all and can you blame me?

It was so fun I thought we could capture it all in photos, so I could share it with you guys. Hope you all enjoy!

Beanie Veiled

November 23, 2014

Hey everyone

How is your weekend going?  In this post I wanted to share an outfit that I think is oh so holiday appropriate. Fun, play full and dressy enough to stay warm. The fabulous veiled beanie I got from Choies adds that extra glamour we sometimes need, especially around this festive time of year. Add a some lace and print and those much anticipated Alexander Wang x H&M booties and I'm good to go. What do guys you think?   

"The Perfect Tan" With: Phenomenal Vita Liberata 2-3 Week Tanning Mousse

November 15, 2014

Hey everyone



Summer is gone, and my golden tan has been fading, leaving me with a bit of a pale complexion. Self-tanners have always been my savior especially during the cold winter months because they leave you with a beautiful bronzed glow all year round. I have used quite a few different tanning sprays and lotions for years now. The thing I have always disliked about self tanners is their distinct smell and the fact they leave the inside of your hands slightly tanned too. Even when you wash them thoroughly and let's not forget to mention the sticky feeling after applying it. 

This totally changed when I discovered a tanning mousse by Vita Liberata.
 
This state of the art product is very popular in the land of models and celebrities. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian are huge fans just to name a few. It made me very curious what the fuss was all about.

  
Vita Liberata tanning mousse contains organic ingredients, is free of parabens and won't get your hands dirty and sticky. It dries within seconds and stays put for up to three weeks! To top it all, it is absolutely odorless and leaves your skin silky and dehydrated because of its unique Pentavitin hydration "lock"!  Phenomenal has won quite a few international awards too. Sounds good right? I had to try it out for myself and I was pleasantly surprised the results were phenomenal. I can honestly vouche that this is the best and most natural looking tan I have ever found in a bottle! 

Curious? Keep on reading...

Red Selma

November 6, 2014

Location: Amsterdam

Hey everyone

Today's post is all about this fabulous stunner of a red Michael Kors bag called the Selma bag. I have been on the look out for the perfect red tote bag for quite some time and been looking around online and tons of stores out here in Amsterdam. I was contemplating on the Valentino glam lock shoulder bag or the Givenchy Antigona bag but apart of a much better price tag I just love the straight and clean lines of the Micheal Kors Selma. It is such a classy design and the leather just stays in an impeccable shape even after wearing it on a daily basis. Trust me I know because I already own the black MK Selma cross body bag and use it all the time and still looks brand new. It shows that the Selma bag is a go-to bag for every day use and in a gorgeous color that pops, it was just the thing that I needed.

Monday Cravings

November 3, 2014

_________________________________________________________

Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette // Royal Blue Michael Kors Selma Bag // Valentino Multicolored Rock stud Heels // Coco Tee// Byredo La Tulipe Perfume // Hat // Plaid Scarf // Sheer Trench

_____________________________________________________________

Happy Monday everyone

I am starting the week with a few favorites I have been eying for a little while and wanted to share with you.

 When it comes to makeup, I just love the colors of the Urban Decay Flushed palette   which are absolutely perfect for fall. The colors are not too bright but are enough to give us that peachy winter glow. I already own the Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes, and I am completely obsessed as the colors stay put and are so beautiful and warm toned. Now how about the Blue Michael Kors Selma bag? I just gifted myself the bright red version which you will see in an outfit post asap, but for some reason my head can't let go of this blue stunner of a beauty. 

When it comes to heels, I have been dreaming of the burgundy Valentino rock stud slingbacks for a while now, but how fun are these multi-colored numbers?  They would look amazing with distressed jeans or a simple black dress for the holidays and will go perfectly right into spring and summer also. What do you think? A fun Tee saying: Coco made me do it?  Doesn't this quote apply to all of us? 

I received the La Tulipe perfume from my best friend as a gift while I visited L.A. this Spring. I have been using it every day, and the scent is floral, sweet fresh and light and very luxurious. The bottle has been empty for a while now. So it is time to grab a new one like immediately!  This particular perfume would also make a perfect Christmas gift, as everyone I know loves this scent.

Being a total hat freak this black piece and the grey version need a place in my closet as they will go with nearly every outfit possible and how about the perfect scarf?  A bright red plaid scarf will brighten up any fall day. Hats and scarves are such simple and casual items but in my eyes an absolute must-have for this season.

A flowing trench? Yes, please. A sheer trench? Oh yeah, I need! You can find this piece in white as well, as I have been unable to pick and choose which one I want more. I have a feeling I will have to grab them both because I just love them too much LOL.

Find more of my current cravings below and enjoy an amazing start of the week everyone.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Army City

October 27, 2014

Location: Amsterdam

Hey everyone

Fall has officially started here. When the colors of the leaves change, so do the colors in my wardrobe. Army green is a perfect color for Fall and anything in this hue is a definite staple in my closet. Because the color is so masculine, I like to mix it up with something feminine and delicate like the floral top I am wearing today. Tough and boyish army wear VS soft fabrics, lace and pink flowers. To me a perfect combo for a run around town. What do you think?

Plastic Fantastic with G-Star's - Raw For The Oceans -

October 21, 2014

Hey everyone

 How do you like this ultra cool denim jacket I am wearing? Well, here is a surprise for you.  This piece was created from a bionic yarn, which is derived from ocean plastic.  Plastic waste are ruining our beautiful oceans and who would have thought denim could be created from that same plastic?

 Denim brand: G-star Raw came up with the help of the fabulous Pharrell Williams to create a denim line made purely out of ocean plastic with a purpose to save our beautiful oceans. When I spotted their collection online, I was surprised to find out that apart of a great purpose, it is absolutely fantastic to wear too!

I am a fierce lover of the oceans, and it breaks my heart that we are totally polluting it, so why not create something that can help this issue?  Did you know the oceans contain six times more plastic than sea life? These are shocking numbers and to think that ocean creatures eat away from that plastic with disastrous results, it 's just fantastic to find out that G-Star's Raw For The Oceans is taken action in such a creative and innovative way.

 When I watched Pharrell Williams being interviewed on a national televised Dutch talk show talking about this project, all I could think of was that I wanted to help spread the word for this amazing cause. Turning something negative into fashion. How great is that?  When I thought of shooting this piece, I could only come up with one location, and that is exactly where it came it from.  I took it straight back to the ocean. To make a statement,  I jumped into the icy cold water with winds at wind force seven and temps that were not so beach friendly.  Families complete with children and dogs on their Sunday stroll gathered around us probably thinking we were completely nuts made this was quite the memorable shoot. The result was ending up getting soaking wet and frozen to the bone, but hey anything for a great fashionable cause right?

"Let's turn ocean plastic into something fantastic".
