Mug Shot

look Ma, I'm not smiling!


No need to say the "not smiling" bit took some effort and the photos came out looking like mug shots haha

I had to take a few close-up shots yesterday with little time to show to a make-up label for a possible lookbook photoshoot!! fingers crossed.

TokyoBanhBao wearing the JC de Castelbajac for Mellow Yellow Mickey Mouse flats on her blog.
These just made me smile and I kind of really want them, they remind me of the Marc Jacobs mouse flats only these really stole my heart..

feel good Sunday's

I'm wearing; TopShop hair bow, H&M sheer blouse, ShopAkira lace shorts, Wolford over the knee socks, Jeffrey Campbell foxy wood's in multi glitter.

It became a habit to visit feel-good blogs on Sunday's and one of those blogs is http://wishwishwish.net/

I think I spent every Sunday at least a hour browsing quietly through Carries blog, enjoying a cup of coffee while dreaming away by her beautiful photos! 

Today I came across her post about photoshop actions and editing, in this post she added zip files for us to download with photoshop actions for vintage photo effects (very similar to my photos) and 'Bokeh' images to use as overlay layers to create glittery, flared effects. 

So that just made my Sunday a whole lot more fun! I downloaded her "Bokeh" images and started playing with them with these photos being the result!

See wishwishwish.net for full post and explanation!

Monday March lookbook/poster

all photos by come over to the dark side we have candy

A little while ago I got to play model in a photoshoot for Monday March's Spring 2012 lookbook together with fashion bloggers Cindy, Anna and Mio and yesterday I finally received the much anticipated lookbook in the mail plus a gift bag full of goodies of the latest fall/winter collection and already a beautiful top from this collection!

The lookbook is a poster with on one side a big black and white print of us all together and on the other side a collage of all the different looks and outfits.

Everytime I look at the poster it really reminds me of the fun I had that day!! 

(more photos of the Monday March shoot here and here)

Style Yourself

I'm featured in Style Yourself,a book full of creative outfit ideas and wardrobe tips among some of my favorite bloggers and friends like  Sea of Shoes, Late Afternoon, Song of Style, Park & Cube, Fashion Squad, FrouFrouu, Keiko Lynn, the Clothes Horse, Alice Point and the Glamourai to only name a few.

The bookreally is a fun collection of collages, mood-boards, sketches, fabrics and colors evolving around the personal style, insights and inspiration of these girls.

I really love the little video they made for the book's launch too!

revelations

Asos modern armour cuff, Jeffrey Campbell Mariel Wedges c/o solestruck, h&m divided exclusive leather dress.

Can you believe the leather bow dress is from h&m? I couldn't!!

It's an item from the (old) 2008 divided exclusive line.

It's funny how some season's h&m is really good while sometimes you can really speak of a bad year. In 2008 the problem with this dress was the empire waist which looked kind of out of balance with the current trends! So I just stocked the dress for a future season to come. 

When shopping I often think about what the item will do in a few years. A certain timelessness makes clothing so much more interesting to me.
