A rose is still a rose

Good evening!

Today me and my boyfriend are together for 1 year (again) yaay! (:



Not too long ago I came across a mysterious little bottle. 

As I found out it contains a liquid called Velvetine. It is a lipgloss that when dried looks like velvet. 

"Like the petals of a rose" according to the website who sells it: Lime Crime.

And it comes in the most adorable little box.

This really is a product that you want to have not only for it's function but also for it's unique looks. 

I didn't find a chance to purchase it yet, because I life in the middle of fucking no where. But if you got just as curious as I did luckily you can order it online. 

At Lime Crime they cost $20,00 and come in the colors Red velvet (the one I fancy), Suedeberry, and Pink velvet. 

Buy it here. 

And if you live in Europe you can purchase it here.

Ps. I am thrilled to tell you that that I'm a guest blogger at ItTakes2toFashion! Go and take a look at my first blog here.

New heels and a new job

Good morning 

I had my first sales training yesterday evening. It was very interesting to learn al the little tricks to trick people in to buying. Maybe I can u some to trick you into following my blog?  ;)

I wore my new D&G booties that I got from my boyfriends sister, and I love them so much! They are a teeny tiny size 35 but they actually walk great. 

I paired it with D&G tulle skirt, Supertrash blouse and Falke tights.

Dries van Noten vintage belt.

Sweet revange

It seems like sweet and laced ladylike clothing is taking it's revenge on the warrior hype.
I'm relieved to see that summer is getting sweet again.
I loved the warrior winter style, but my red hair curiously matches really good with pink...

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...

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.)

Never visited this site before. But only the lay-out makes it worth a look.
It's filled with artistic clothes and more.

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!

I bought presents, wrote poems, it's a big festivity.

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

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!
