AFW: Jivika Biervliet

Today I had to work with three friends for Chill Media work on the Amsterdam Fashion Week in de Westergasfabriek. The show we had to work for was from the young Jivika Biervliet.
The men collection of Jivika Biervliet was very special. The collection consisted a lot soft clothing pajama-like substances. You saw in the entire collection a lot of donuts! On and under the clothes and on the slippers which the models walked on.

Read and see more.

T by Alexander Wang resort 2012

Although Alexander Wang isn’t designing uniforms for the 2012 Olympics, his phone will likely ring off the hook next time around now that this collection’s out. “We were inspired by competitive swimmers, cyclists, and girls prepping for marathons,” he said at today’s primary-colored presentation, where perforated track vests, patchwork windbreakers, and utility track pants (accessorized with heeled sneaker-sandals) were skillfully translated for his urban loyalists. 

Pretty perfect nails

Awesomeness this nailpolish! Really really love it!

It is not hard to do. It is actually quite easy.
First paint your nails black with matt lacquer. Cut crescent-shaped stickers off, or buy it at the drugstore. Let the polish dry, paste stickers on it (like a French manicure) and paint the end of your nails shiny black. Piece of cake!

Braids in your hair ♥

After a long time with bobline, short / long hairstyles and many others have walked, I am now totally hooked on my long hair. You can do so many more with it, think of; braids, ponytails, knot it, wear your hair up or just wear it loose. 

Braids in your hair are absolutely hot again at the moment. I think braids in your hair are beautifully. You can create and contribute them in many ways.
Especially the last fishbone braid is one I really like!

It takes some time, but really it's worth it :)!

Beautiful! What do you think?

New year's resolutions

Every year you come back at the same point, time for new resolutions. ActuallyI'm more of a type that does not make good resolutions.
Yet I realize always some some very important things that you mostly have to doevery year! Like this:



Reach for the stars
Live for every moment
Dance like no one is watching
Sing like no one is listening
Love like there's no tomorrow
Follow your dreams
Choose with no regrets
smile unconditionally
Laugh


In short, Enjoy life:)!

Style today

Every morning during my breakfast, I look and read at various sites. Similarly Styletoday.
Most of you will be familiar with this website I guess. I still wanted to just share this website with you! I think it's always good for your outfit inspirations!
They also have a very nice app for your phone, 'What to wear'. They post every evening at 7 o'clock, a new outfit. (Very handy: the outfit is put together following the weather forecast every day!) 
And another handy fact, the brand, the store and the prices are listed at. Great when you see something you need to have:)!

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people!

Isabel Marant spring 2012

Next spring you’ll be coveting chunky knit pullovers and mini dresses, graphic printed and patchwork colored denim, varsity jackets, and tie dye everything. In addition to the varsity jackets, the show definitely had an American-hip-hop-athletic vibe–perhaps an acknowledgment of the cult following Marant has in the US. There were jerseys with faded numbers of the front and draw string track pants and the show was set to a hip-hop soundtrack. As an American, I thought a few pieces took the US-influence a little too far–like a jersey that said “America” on the back–part of Marant’s appeal is that it’s so French.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The very best wishes for 2012 to the best people in my life, happy new year to all the precious gems I posses! ❥

New year's nails

Tonight I go to a party with the themes (yes, strange indeed two themes, but you have lots of useful choices) glitz&glam and black&white. I chose for black glam with a glittertwist, then we have the color white at least, but I decided, I'm white myself ;)! I chose a long, tight blacksleeveless velvet dress with an open back that I've worked with crossed straps. Underneath I wear suede black pumps and I choose a beautiful silver frost clutch, or I'm going for my black suede clutch with leopard print and a gold clasp. My nails have to match perfectly with my outfit. That's why I go for the golden/black nail polish with the panther or make it silver/black when I for the other clutch.

What do you think? But more importantly, do you already know what to wear tonight?!

XOXO
