Sunglasses and scarf: Queensday market

One of the last days of May I went to the release party of the 'Staring is Caring' skirt designed by Supertrash designer Olcay Gulsen in collaboration with Stop Aids Now. I love the fact you can buy a fashionable (and comfortable!) piece and all of the profit goes to a project for woman with HIV in Godino in Ethiopia. 

Together with tv personality Tess Milne and Anna Nooshin of the website NSMBL, Olcay launched the project to raise money for woman to start their own business. The skirt you can buy at the website of Supertrash or in a Supertrash store in the Netherlands or Belgium for only 29,95 euros! 

In the above pictures I'm wearing the skirt in my own way. For me the skirt is perfect to wear to a festival! The cardigan I'm wearing is from one of my favourite new shops in Amsterdam: NR9 at Herenstraat 18. They sell Dutch brands and international brands, very comfortable, very colourful, so very me! This Minkpink cardigan I will be wearing all summer long during chilly summer nights (and days)! 

New Look SS 2013

Last Friday I went to the presentation of the Spring/ Summer 2013 collection of New Look. While outside it was snowing and freezing in Amsterdam, inside it was cosy and warm with a collection with beautiful colours, patterns and thin fabrics. The themes were: Pagan cowgirl, Pleasantville and Eastern trail. My favourite item is this black shirt with a print, looking a bit like the out of space Balenciaga sweater. I think the collection is best worn when combining items of the different themes all together. The last two photos are from the male collection, the tiger shirt and printed blouse are also wearable for women I think.  This collection will make an interesting summer!

Sweater I bought with Weekday giftcard, thanks Weekday!

This week I had a fashionable week! It started on the 30th of August with the literally thundering opening of Weekday. While it was raining and thundering outside, inside it was warm, cosy and fashionable with chocolat bites, wine, georgeous looking clothes and friendly nail artists. Weekday knows what a girl (and boys) wants! As a daughter of H&M, selling different brands and designer collaborations I am an immediate fan. (I already was a fan since I spotted Weekday in Copenhagen, but now closer to home is even better!) You will defintely spot me in some Weekday outfits in coming blogs.

2 days later I had the chance to visit Valtifest for the third time. It is THE dress up festival in Amsterdam making it a very good last festival of the season. The theme of this year was 'Next to Uranus'. I took it literally by wearing my penis legging of Bas Kosters. And I had the whole Milky Way on my head by wearing a carton of milk, very Anna dello Russo-ish. Later that night I had the chance to take part in a performance of Bas Kosters in a Bas Kosters outfit. (Do you recognize me?) Well, that really was a cherry on the festival cake! The shows of Bas Kosters were phenomenal as always. He did three shows during the day, all in different Bas Kosters outfits, creating different Bas Kosters creatures. 

The last event (but not least) I went to was the presentation of the latest project of Antoine Peters, 'Hope'. A very fun and hopeful project in collaboration with Marc Deurloo (my boyfriend, who made all the photographs) The 'dress/ jumpsuit' presented in the pictures is an oily dress with just legs, no arms or head. The dancer who took part in the project shaped the dress in many angles with different attributes, it looked interesting and funny at the same time. By changing shapes Antoine tried to capture a new world, for if the end of the world would be near. The project shows how we treat each other, how we treat the world, and the hope that comes from this. Keep the hope up!
