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!

Play&Pose with Charlotte Kan

This week I did a Play&Pose with Charlotte Kan! With a red dress of her collection I made 5 different looks, by changing the dress; with a knot, backwards, sideways etc. I made 5 different looks with just one outfit. My answer on her blog to the question: Tell us something about how you combined the Charlotte Kan garment: 
'The Charlotte Kan garment I’m wearing is a dress which you can knot in different ways. I think Charlotte makes a lot of nice pieces which you can wear at different manners. I love to look at her videos‘ how to wear it’. Immediately the dress reminded me of pieces of Maison Martin Margiela. They also make fashion pieces with a twist, for example a bag that looks like a candy wrapper. I combined Charlottes dress with all Maison Martin Margiela for H&M items, the items only stayed the same, and the dress is worn in a different ways. Every time with another twist.'

For the full interview and photos take a look on the blog of fashion designer Charlotte Kan.

I am so proud, my first feature!

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!

These photos were made a time ago, I had to show them to you so,

You could judge them fashionwise, am I wack or am I fly?

Candidasa was the place to be, on my favorite holiday in Bali,

Swimming, chillin', swimming, chillin', nothing else we did out there, it's my favorite place yes anywhere.
