Shake away last monday's blues with a good dose of happy new trends like the neons, the florals, the ethnic & the good [cobalt] blues...

Zero-Love

Outfit: Leather skirt : Vanessa Bruno, Mesh jacket (ph 3,4): Alexander Wang, Silk Blouse: Zara, Bag: Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Mini mesh (other colours here and here), Wedges: Topshop, Neon Pink knee socks: American Apparel, Headband: Pucci,  Pink cuff (right): Unearthed, Bracelet Mesh (left): ThiefandBandid,  beach tennis set: similar.

I thought it was time to play a game of tennis á la Mlle W-style. I  mixed up this quirky outfit with the Olympics of 2012 and the sportswear trend in mind with neon kneesocks, a leather skater's skirt, an Alexander Wang mesh jacket, and ofcourse that Zara blouse that I have been altering by taking the studded collar off.

Giveaway: Bensimon Neon Clutch

It's time to host a giveway on this blog. I never expected to get more than 3 persons to comment or even watch a post but I seem to get some awesome visitors every now and then.

It's a modest giveaway but a start: I'm giving away this new Bensimon Green Neon Clutch from their 2011 line.

(ps: sorry about the not-fashionbloggery quality of the photos: I'm learning, you well-developed pros!)

Hula Dancer ft the ♡ ♡ sandals

Hawaiian temperatures, Hawaiian prints and a girl who easily gets into character is a good combination for a Hula Dancer inspired outfit. 

Kimono-Top: Topshop, Skirt: NewLook, sandals: Topshop, Clutch - originally a laptop-sleeve-: Topshop, similar here, cuff: from 2007, Bracelet: etsy,  headband 1st ph :from Episode Utrecht

I picked my usual 'inDaHood' spot because I cannot always travel around for photoshoots: I might be a fashionschiz but I am not Tim Walker & Lily Cole wrapped up on one, nor am I or would I ever be commissioned by Vogue.
Talking about things that look good on models, but not so much on mortals: wetlook hair. Ph 1 & 3 has my hair wetlooked...ehm, skipping that trend. Also, for being work-appropriate I do a normal blouse and not the tied-belly blouse.

So besides the bit of belly you might think this outfit is totally manrepeller. Not so much: this maxiskirt is on the sheer side, which means that a woman should have some bootyconfidence or good underwear. Ok, always wear fab underwear with sheer clothes or backside peepers or the sensual effect is blast away.(yeh, straight men don't bother if the woman is really hot if she's wearing dodgy lingerie but fashionpeople will think "why the heck did she wear such a blah bra under that sheer tshirt?"

The clutch is actually a laptop-sleeve, but I made it a multi-tasker! I am never limited by names that give out labels so if I can make it a clutch, so there it is: a clutch that carries things.

I forgot to do the 'other-side-of-the-outfit'-photo, but this cute doll did:

She's available at Etsy over here.
