The Detachable, Studded and Embellished Collars aren't going anywhere just yet, they are here to stay a bit longer and blend in beautiful into the coming Autumn/Winter season! So yes, what better way to spend your weekend getting creative and crafty on Collars? There are so many DIY's so I just picked a few of my favorites for upcoming season!

Yes, the metallic collar necklace would be a bit out of your average diy-league but luckily for us it's a below $15 H&M piece! I actually bought the necklace yesterday and think it would just look perfect with about any blouse, top and dress!

Atlantic Pacific shows us how delicious diy studded collars look! She actually worked with this tutorial by Cheetah is the new Black, another amazing tutorial for a detachable studded collar: here

Leave it up to Honestly WTF to figure out how to make scalloped peter pan LV collars and showing us how to do it in this tutorial here and the variations you can make are endless, for example; what about pearls?

Wearing: TopShop Top, H&M necklace, Zara skirt, Forever21 boots, Celine Trapeze Bag (a friend's)

No I'm not anywhere fancy! Spending a day in the Zoo with friends who came over from Antwerp for the day! The nice part about this Zoo (Burgers Zoo) is that they actually re-build a giant Jungle, Desert, Mangroves and an Ocean so in a way we did kind of feel like being on Vacation which was a reason for us to act like it of course! Only part missing was a Beach, hopefully they will build it soon ;) for the Turtles of course, it's still a Zoo..

Ladurée Scented Candles

Ladurée Scented Candles at Sjaak Hullekes

I guess everyone knows the famous Parisian Ladurée Macarons. My latest little addiction are the beautiful Scented candles, coming in delicious fragrances like Brioche, Caramel with salted butter, Café crème, Orange blossom, Caprice and Amandine to name a few, and of course they come in a decorated box of their own! I have been stopping by the Sjaak Hullekes concept store on an almost daily base to just drool at the collection of candles! (they sell them online here) I still haven't made up my mind on the perfect fragrance since I'm really indecisive and they all smell incredibly well but right now I'm thinking about going for one of the warm and rich coffee-like scents!

OUTFIT: like feathers on my feet

 

Wearing: MinkPink dress c/o Lulus.com, Rings c/o LaDama, Necklace H&M, Affair Stud bag c/o Rebecca Minkoff, Zara Sandals (old season)


I bought the Zara sandals ages ago but never worn them a lot, I guess sometimes things need to stay and wait a few seasons in your closet before it's the right time to wear them! and right now it kind of feels like wearing Tropical Birds on my feet, in a good way!

Things to do in your Weekend: Nail Art

Photo by the Cherry Blossom Girl

A perfect way to spend the weekend is on some Polishing, Laquer and shine. I always admire a perfectly done manicure, it's the finishing touch to every outfit after all!

One of the most lush manicures is the Cherry Blossom Girl's half moon manicure and luckily for us we can find her tutorial here:
