Ruffled up

There's something about ruffles. Ruffles spell out a certain class and complexity that make it perfect for the Holiday Season. Something far beyond the normcore that has been around lately; or actually making a big effort for the ones you love or want to impress...

Admiring not-so-secretly: Miu Miu

Prada's little sister has been ticking the right boxes between classically chic, quirky cool and adorably cute for ss '14. They score the highest mark on my 'not so secret' crush radar with their mixture of biker textures, a newer matelasse paddiness and the gorgeous infusion of a hot red...So can I just have their whole collection?

Xmas Nostalgia

Sparkly dresses are all around but why not get a midi-skirt this time?

Lanvin's snowglobe will make grown-up girls swoon.

This Cara D colour-me-in colourbook will keep you away from the mobile and you can give Cara a new haircolour too.

Shoes are often a little decoration for your feet and Charlotte Olympia took it to the present state.

A Miu Miu purse for your pocketmoney: or your momma would say "small coins count too".

And the booklover one in you will love a Dickens candle inspired on 'A Christmas Carol'.

Head-Deco

One of the trending items of LWF SS14: head-deco.

Designerwear is often expensive so head to your highstreet or DIY (blogs) for your own update on this trend.

Destination Sunny: Boho Beach

I found another bikini worthy for some fantastical set-creation. Boho beach can be Goa or Tulum, but anywhere where there is still a true hippy spirit and kaleidoscopic colours flourish...

The not so Secret Garden...

To finance my latest, lusthave item I had to find a job on the side

I fancied that gardening would do:

So I picked out my most British outfit as the British have the best gardens in the world.

Eh, doesn't make sense, right?

I first felt like a snob touching the broom.

However, I must have been a witch in a past life so I started to have fun in it.

I felt a narcissistic connection to the garden: we both like to be taken care of...

I flirted a bit with the newspaper guy who gave me a Vogue for free (don't tell door no 26!)

But he had to go to work...

Hence, I went for some table tennis:

Ok, more table than tennis...

Then there was nothing more to do than pose in the greenhouse:

Practicing my best duckface...

Somehow, I wasn't asked to return for the job...

Pet vs Trophy-Kittens

I love these dainty kitten heels with that touch of sensuality by positioning the bands on the arch of the foot.

You might seen them in various editiorials lately, Miu Miu literary taking a step forward into a new femininity. Next made their variety for a cheaper price. Do you know which one is which?

(easy one today: the left is the affordable Next and the right are trophykittens Miu Miu)

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...

Wishlist: Tiny Bags

Clockwise left: Reed Krakoff Standard mini Leather ][ Chloë Marcie Small ][ Yves Saint Laurent Belle Du Jour Clutch ][ Miu Miu Leather Drawstring bag ][ See By Chloë Poya

It must have something to do with enjoying my smaller Jerome Dreyfuss a lot, and wanting to try a new brand. Cheating somewhat because I already own a Chloë and because I love it I'd (mini)splurge again.

I'm a bit contra-trend because there's nothing Cameo, Gothic leather, or other AW 2012 trends going on, but I love the fresh femininity of these colours.

The litte Rose Box

She's not my first Miu Miu purchase: I actually own a vintage Miu Miu bag that is of the battered vintage quality that was about $150.

However, she is my very Spring/Summer 2012 purchase from a more couture-esque fashion brand.

I got my priorities straightened: I'm a Wanderlust woman and I needed a classy, trendy passport cover the most.

This apple-green is the icing of the cake: and the crackled glossy leather adds the luxury factor to it.

I really love everything Miu Miu and they should sell more Miu Miu in the Netherlands so I can browse/touch their items more often.
