Ghost

Croptop: H&M | Midiskirt: H&M | Heels: Topshop (old, these Dries van Noten's are on sale) | Necklace:V&D (Chloe has one I covet) | Cuff: Unearthed | Bracelet: Monica Vinader

I have been looking for a good croptop set for ages, and now I found a sophisticated one. The creamy set had a ghostlike effect on both my DSLR as my compact, so that explains the eerie effect...Though I'm a bit spooky too, sometimes.

Prints in Progress

"Yes, going to Ikea is the age-appropriate thing to do"

Bikerjacket: H&M | Dress: Monki | Booties: Topshop (similar) | Bag: & Other Stories | Bracelet : Etsy (old) | folded bike: Halfords |

Somehow prints struck again: in a dress this time. Bring along the best black bikerjacket -> end up at the Ikea parking lot with a foldable bike: see result above, how bizarre!

Marant- the haul

Last thursday I went for the easy option by trying to order some Marant 4 H&M online.

* I gotten the shoes I was really after: they looked so deliciously studded in real life, but I returned them as they are slightly too tight around my upperfoot *

*The belt is so well-made and an original addition to my bohemian wardrobe = Score! *

*The monochrome knit felt like being a crossover of a sumo-wrestler and a pandabear. Omg, I do not like oversized sweaters as I work out to maintain a waist/hourglass figure: So why swamp it by ridiculously large sweaters? *

* I also got the scarf that I kind of like but I do not really love it. It is supposed to be silk but I miss the supersilky feeling: I'll keep it as I did not have any bohemian red scarves so far : ) *

Did you 'score' and how do you feel it lived up to your expectations?

M-Day!

Wishing all fashionpeople a happy M-day: 

& keep on smiling while you fight for your right Marant

Saint ][ Sinner

Shoes: Miu MIu ][ Sweater: Topshop ][ skirt: Vanessa Bruno ][Tights: Galstern on Etsy ][ Beret: H&M (cute one here) ][ wristlet: Gwp from Givenchy makeup  ][ bracelets: mix of COS, vintage, & etsy ][ whip: horserider's shop

The idea of saint & sinner has been frequently portrayed in literature, art, music, and fashion often plays with these notions too. I thought Amsterdam was the perfect city for portraying the contrast between the mostly nice girl part of my outfit, and thát accessory that gives it...an edge! Some people in Amsterdam still gave me stares while I was whipping around in front of the cam, so it's not that we (Dutch) are used to everything ;-)

Disclaimer: No real people, photographers or other animals were hurt during this photoshoot. 

Also, I've been practicing some typical model-faces I've been seeing around...you can vote which one suits me best in the comment section but I even have more faces...

Lanvin: Loosing it's virginity

This has been one of those pieces that seemed to be too loud a couple two years ago but totally fit into the sphere of tropicality and florality of this summer.

So my Lanvin for H&M lost its wearing-virginity during the holiday.

I love how the chain handle is laced with the silky purple...It's colour-clash-tastic and that's how I like it (this season).

IconoFash with Lanvin

There's a bit of a rebel in me

Because, I have to confess....

I can be a bit IconoFash...

 IconoFash= Kicking against Fashion rules for Fun's sake (MlleWanderlust)

Deriving from:

Iconoclast= 2. One who assails or attacks cherished beliefs or venerated institutions on the ground that they are erroneous or pernicious. (Oxford Dictionary)

Fash: short for fashionable (Urbandictionary)

You can get away with a lot in fashion, but somehow I be consider that a Lanvin dress shouldn't be combined with inline skates and a cap. At least, I think some people in Holland can be uptight about some things. Some people are bound to exclaim "kan écht niet" whereas in the UK and other countries there is the idea that goes something like "everything goes". Good these Dutch standards are changing and people get more adventurous over here has well.

Somehow, I liked this combination to bring out the swagger of the dress (and it is from the Lanvin for H&M line , so pricewise I wouldn't be too bothered if I fell in it and got a hole in it).

Also, it's my effin blog so I can get away with it, ha ha. Ideally, I would take this dress out to Buenos Aires and dance a tango with it, but something more unconventional always works for me too (& I'm still stuck in Holland so Buenos Aires just have to wait).
