Glitter my feet please...

Miista glitter loafers in Multi, Midnight, Starlight and Jet

Dear Santa,

I would like some glitter shoes,
because I will take these with me when I move to Kepler-22b
and in case of a Zombie apocalypse it's good to have some more flat shoes...

OUTFIT: Pom-Pom Beanie

The Pom-Pom Beanie just screams Winter! 

I'm so ready for the snow to come because I honestly hate the cold but love the snow, as long as there are white flurries I can deal with the cold!

The first flakes of the season are supposed to come down today and tomorrow (fingers crossed)

pom-pom beanie, socks, shorts (not seen) from the H&M, Laura Ashley coat,  Ebay buckle boots

A Shopping spree with Love Aesthetics

Met up with Ivania from Love Aesthetics this last Friday in my home City Arnhem! After having coffee and really have talked about everything (DIY's, pastels, New York, blogging etc) I took her around for a short walk to one of my favorite places; Trickle Down fabrics! 

I know the owner from this very special store since my time at the Academy for Fine Arts where I studied Fashion Design! After hearing our cries for finding fabrics for years (we used to travel to Antwerp with many even going to Paris or Milan just for Fabric Shopping) Wendy got this brilliant idea; 

What if she would buy the left over fabrics from young/established designers and start a pop-up store, traveling from art school to art school where the students would be able to buy these exclusive high quality fabrics for good prices? So she did! There are the most beautiful fabrics from Dutch and Belgium designers like Ann Demeulemeester and Raf Simons!


So my shopping spree with Ivania involved fabrics, leather scraps and gold colored messing zippers!

Top 10 Fashion Blogger VIDEOS

(image by the Glamourai)

Today's Top 10 is all about Fashion Blogger Videos! After seeing ton's of YouTube vlogs and videos I think that having a good video is as important as having nice shoes!

What I discovered is that my favorite video's consist of the following ingredients; They are short and fast (cut and edit), I want to hear someone speak (even if it's only 3 words) I like to see more settings or camera views, I always like a short scene of the blogger going somewhere!(walking on the street, in the train etc) music please!, closets, clothing and lots of outfits! and the best videos always include laughs and quirks too!

(ps. you might want to watch the videos on youtube, steaming on my blog might be slow.....)

1) Susie Style Bubble

The video is a little teaser from Susie's Monki Television episodes (see the full videos here, here, here and here) To me, this little preview is already perfect on its own! it's short, fast, fun and has Susie in it!

2) Style Scrapbook

Andy's YouTube channel is quite a must! I just love to hear her voice and see all the updates from around the world! Couldn't resist sharing her Monki Television Episode as well since it's just beautifully done and I always love to see wardrobes!

Sexy Sweaters

(all images by Sexy Sweaters)

Now this makes me happy!

Sexy Sweaters is a Tumblr. website full of photoshopped, pop culture, pop art (yes you guessed it) sweaters!

As of now these are not being made and thus for sale, they are just images, but I do really hope they can bike around the copy-rights and produce these!

It actually makes me think about brands a lot in the way that they sell lifestyles and images themselfs to market the products. The whole day we are surrounded by these campaigns! But then as soon as a brand reaches the pop culture status they get really protective in the way these do find a "meaning" in our lives, like they copyrighted the way we should think, feel or use the product too?  My feeling is that when a brand has become pop culture or lifestyle (actually by meaning of their own campaigns) it should also gives us the right to showcase how these fit in our lives, no?

Anyway do check out Sexy Sweaters! and do let me know what you think!!

Girls and Gadgets

Last week I spend a whole day in Amsterdam, in a old warehouse/studio to be precise, for a Nokia video/interview shoot together with 5 other bloggers. 

I was kind of nervous because I was going to be interviewed about the Nokia Lumia 800 (windows smart phone) and unlike the tattooed dudes from the various game blogs I could not sum up all the technical details and specifications even if my life depended on it :) But maybe that's the very reason why they picked me :) 

I guess I'm all about having fun and my gadgets need to look good, don't fall apart and be very easy to use oh and to be clutter proof; (see the screenshot of my desktop).. the last thing in world that I need is my phone to look like my desktop! and here is where the Nokia interface (whoops I learned a technical term) comes in; easy peasy buttons/tabs that I cannot mess up (I just changed the color into hot magenta pink btw)

The magenta headphones are from Monster and I ended up wearing them as a accessory the whole day! (somehow the guys kept mistaking the color for red? it's the weirdest thing, like guys cannot see magenta?)

Anyway,  I hope I can share the video with you guys soon! and to give you a tiny heads up... it looks like I will be giving away 1 Nokia phone next week :)
