The weather outside is frightfull, but the fire is so delightfull.

Merry Christmas!

I didn't have the time to shoot some pictures, so here's our Christmas wishlist!
My mum and I both have been searching for the perfect Christmas pair, and this is what we've found.
What do you think?

I really like the Burberries, and I think my mum got feelings for the dragonflies. But who knows..

I'll draw some outfits with these for the next post! (hope it stops raining, so I can go outside and shoot my newest treasures).
Enjoy your Christmas!

De stijl

I've to admit that my favorite program is James May's toy stories.
They made a house entirely out of Lego bricks...
Not only it's of course everyones dream to build something like this (it would be crazy and so much fun!)
But it became more like an art piece than a toy.

Unfortunately they had to demolish it, such a shame!
Some "real" art:

And of course you've to wear the right shoes in an house like that!
But how cool they might be, I wouldn't buy them myself. I more like elegance and shiny shoes.


It's almost christmas! Just a few days to go...

Alaiaaaah

I totally fell in love with Alaia. But damn... could I pick a more expensive brand to fall in love with?
Been chasing them at eBay for weeks now, no results. NOBODY WANTS TO SHIP TO EUROPE. It's so unfair. ):

But in the meanwhile, It's snowing! It's like We're stuck in an blizzard.


Jacket Moschino, stockings Wolford, wedges Marni, dress own design and make, bracelet DIY Hermes, earrings vintage.

You can download these bracelets at the Hermes site. Finely! This time the "nothing is for free rule"doesn't count....


Left is my own pattern on it, right the original Hermes design.

We finely got our christmas three all covered with cut-out ice-crystals! But more about that later.

Bootie call

My mum bought these amazing Prada boots 2 months ago, but somehow it's their debut on my blog...
I really love them, I wasn't that into this biker-boot thing. But these are still quite elegant and really go with everything.


(yes, that's my wall of shoes, I'm very proud! haha. But it's still quit empty. Good reason to buy more shoes.)


Prada boots, Diesel ripped jeans, bustier Vera Mont, Jacket own design and make.

Ferry van der Nat gave this bustier to me. I'm really happy it's this deep purple I love.
Next time better photos, I had a huge fight with my camera...


Enjoy your hot Peppermint Mocha coffee (it snows! it's time for hot Starbucks.)

Great discovery: The Shop Floor Project

Never visited this site before. But only the lay-out makes it worth a look.
It's filled with artistic clothes and more.
The Shop Floor Project
My favorites:

Hilary Laing, silk robot scarf.

Erica Weiner, Stinging insect earnings.

Bebaroque, golden snake tights.

You know, the best thing of online-shopping is the moment when the box arrives. It feels just like Christmas!

Isn't that amazing? So much time and love spent on these capes.
Fashion is fast and hard these days, collection after collection. You haven't seen it or the next day there's something better.

Well I'm going to decorate the Christmas tree!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Sinterklaas

I've been busy with my favorite dutch holiday all week! (Sint Nicolas, 5th of December)
I bought presents, wrote poems, it's a big festivity.

But about my outfit (:
We're totally obsessed with this Paris-style right now!


Kenzo dress, R@re cardigan, Dries van Noten belt, silver bracelet, leopard shoes. (My mum and I really wanted leopard flats, but we didn't like one of them! D&G nope.. Lanvin, disappeared..., then we found the perfect pair in a child's shoes shop, thankfully we have little feet!)

Well, it's late already, and tomorrow school again! Good night.

Art-school

This weekend we were allowed to view the work of art-school students in Maastricht.

I really loved the work that was sown, it was finally something different from the big big fashion designers you see all the time.

I'm NOT taking credit for this work, the students made this, i only edited the pictures.

Hope you had a great thanksgiving!

I wore this outfit at a party a few days ago, I felt terribly overdressed, but who cares?!

The skirt is my own design, I like the big elephants, (once my scanner works again I'll post the drawings of my las two pieces), Burberry heels, Armani bag, golden necklaces.



My little doggy likes to be on my blog too! haha.

knit-it

I posted this poncho a few weeks ago.

Here is how to make it!

1. You need mohair wool, use different colors and thicknesses, to give it a playful look.

2. Take the thickest needles you have, I used 12, the bigger the better.

(the scanner broke down, seems like no machine lives very long in this house...)

3. Don't knit too tight, just make it loose, with big wholes! (yes this time you may totally mess it up! :))


4. A square is just the base, if you know a better way of making a poncho, it's all possible. But not too much! Don't over do it.


I'm planning to make a little dress this way (: have fun with it!

I miss my blog

I've been so busy with school that I haven't had the opportunity to look at my blog once!

Here's just a short post, I'm sorry. But my next post will be longer! and will include the DIY tutorials I promised!

We went to Maastricht last week, one of my favorite shops there is Kiki Niesten 2.
I tried on this amazing dress, I forgot the designer, but it was absolutely amazing. (do you see all the shoes behind me?!)

(sorry for the bad I-phone photo, I really love my I-phone and it's just so practical to always have a camera with you, but the quality isn't that good...)

XOXO
