Tartanic

 tartan jacket: Topshop (similar) ][ brocade & frill skirt: Zara ][ Tights: Caldizoni (IT) ][ Shoes: Kurt Geiger ][ necklace: vintage ][ turtleneck top: Zara ][ bucketbag (left on ph.): COS

Yet another case of "why doesn't the camera focus when I look reasonable?" but it's listed to be repared so hopefully it will be doing it's job soon. I'm normally legs-together-tidy but I picked this pose because it had this androgyne Scottish rock-girl vibe going on; therefore I left the pose slightly upfront.

Take a Bow

Let's bow ...for the Royal Matriarch of the UK celebrating her diamond anniversary...

the good bow...(legs humbly crossed)
After the bow:





Outfit: Dress: AllSaints (cute one here), Jacket: Topshop lace Tux (2009), Shoes: Kurt Geiger (real Chloë here); Leggings: Woolford, Bag: Modalu, Necklace: Alex Monroe Bumblebee

I have been majorly into dresses this week & in honour of the Jubilee I picked out an outfit that is 100% British. Sorry that my autocam went a bit irregular, because of the rain and the hurry I was in. I'm not wearing my photo-makeup, which makes my typically Dutch 'blotebillengezicht' (not translating that one ) but -with really light eyebrows- quite obvious.

The AllSaint's dress reminds me of Vivienne Westwood and I cannot think of any designer more British than Dame Vivienne.


She makes my funky outfitted spread look like your-boring-daily thing. Or makes me look ridiculously young (I'm younger than Kate Moss  & slightly older than Giselle).

I'll finish this post with a different kind of bow, the one Rihanna describes:


I think I prefer her earlier work, or actually all her work until the last CD...

I need a lipstick red leather jacket now too thanks to this video...

Dedicated to Alice...




This 'shoot' is not with Mr. Cameraman-on-a-stick yet, which probably is the reason I do not flirt enough nor look totally relaxed. Anyhow, the story is not about flirting either...

"Alice is standing on the bench in nature, letting her hair flow in the wind"

wearing: Zara babypink pleather biker jacket (2009), Topshop skirt, Kurt Geiger shoes (Chloe 2007 lookalikes), Uniqo Top, Venetian Mask from Mooi& Belle, tights: Balstern, Cuff: COS

"But she wants to stay anonymous after her mask goes of" 


"Which brings me to the title: Who the * is Alice?"

The shoes & tights are the thing I am most wild about. The shoes are the look-a-likes from the Chloë 2007 shoe collection I have been highly coveting. That story will be continued soon..

I like the skirt, but realise that a pleaded skirt is not doing any favours for girls with hips: I'm always the curvy hips girl with a trained sixpack! (My hips are beyond training, though) I think it will work better on skinny girls who like to give the illusion of having curves. Still, I adore the digital print and the fact I got this one in the ÜberTopshop of all Topshops on Oxford street.

Oh, my real name isn't Alice, and I love to show my face all the time because as myself I am a real confident person...eh, used to be?
