The temperatures in Holland went up last week and now down again this week. Just when I felt like shaving my legs, wear tights instead of leggings, wear colour instead of black and blue, the snow kicks back in... Yesterday I went shopping with the boyfriend and it was raining all day. I was wearing a yellow outfit and somehow the rain did not bother me that much. So my very scientific conclusion is: wear yellow during bad weather and feel so much happier! Especially the yellow Hell O sweater of Bas Kosters gives a smile on your face! Is that why smileys are yellow?

The first line of the song 'Feel my love' of Adele says:'When the rain is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case, I could offer you a warm embrace, to make you feel my love'. I was thinking Adele wears a lot of black. What if she would wear yellow? Would she feel the rain much less as a whole world on her case? Would her songs change a bit more positively if she wears colours more often? I changed her song a bit into yellow-toned than black-toned to make you feel my yellow love!

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel yellow love

When the evening shadows and the yellow stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel yellow love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet (about yellow)
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go yellow and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel yellow love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
Not on the yellow brick road of happiness
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel yellow love

To make you feel yellow love

Weekday also sells designer clothes, this is one of my faourite dresses by Back

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!
