OUTFIT // WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN.

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands and one of my biggest inspirations.

Just a quick outfit post. Pictures were shot by zhe boyfriend on a random parking lot in Delft. We were on our way home and I was like "We need to pull over NOW!! I forgot to take pictures" and Yapkan (zhe boyfriend) drifted the Volvo right into a car park to take some shots. He's such a sweetheart (but he'd only wish he could drift with the Volvo like that, hehehe).

Blazer | ZARA
Blouse | ZARA

Eiffel tower bracelet | made by me
Other jewellery | H&M + random

OUTFIT // HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN?

How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie.
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

This song originally dates from 1932. Still love it to death.

As for the clutch, it also dates from the previous century. It's a real snakeskin bag that used to belong to the woman that lived underneath my grandmother's appartment. She no longer wore it, and passed it on to my granny. When she passed away, the bag ended up in my mother's closet. And now, anno 2010, the bag has reached his fourth owner.

I think I was born half of a century too late.

I love being in Rotterdam for the weekend. Although the country I live in is quite small, there is such a characteristic diversity between the cities. So refreshing.

I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch that day.I just love all of the quirky details of classic Asian restaurants.. Every self-respecting Chinese restaurant should have paper tablecloths, chopsticks wrapped up in paper and dozens of dragon & lucky cat statues!

By the way, I started using my LB-account again. So hype if you like. ♥

OUTFIT // YOU ARE THE BLUEST LIGHT.

Blazer | ZARA
Tee | ZARA
Jeans | H&M
Shoes | borrowed from sister
Jewellery | random, H&M, self made

My life's still too busy for me to do any consistent posting.. The past week has been quite emotionally heavy - I will not be going into details, since this blog isn't about, well.. Let's just say it, human body dissections. But that's what I have experienced. Can you imagine? Neither do I.

Most fashion bloggers have a glamorous life, floating from one fashionable party to another. Although I love parties (especially whenever you get to wear the prettiest dress and the highest heels you own), there's so much more out there. I hope that within this decade, once I have finished my studies, I will be saving lives with my expertise.

A pair of the Yves Saint Laurent tassle boots I have set my eyes on could make me the happiest girl on earth. But what does it feel like to mean something essentially to another person.. By saving that person's life?

It might even feel better.

ART // VINOODH AND INEZ.

I think I have been missing out on a lot these past days.
As some of you might know, I have been allowed to study medications in Amsterdam this year. It's made me a very happy girl - but also an exhausted student!

Everything has been extremely time-consuming.
It's hard to keep up with university, work, maintaing old and establishing new friendships among fellow students.. Not to mention my blog, I've been neglecting it so much lately, so sorry! Just know that I read every single comment I receive, I'm so thankful for all of my dear readers!

You make my day. ♥

To make up for all the neglect, I'm going to organize a little something for you sometime soon.. We've got something to celebrate, I've reached over 300 readers! (Together with the my lovely Bloglovin' readers I'm almost hitting 400 already!!) Thank you so much for the support, every one of you!

The exposition of Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin at FOAM Amsterdam (I got there just in time! Last day of the event) allowed me to have a moment of tranquillity. I enjoy watching talented people's work. And as you can see, I love doing so on heels.

Love this series of self portraits from Inez. Had to participate myself in front of the empty bed version :)

I wore this outfit to the Elite model scouting last Sunday at Amstelveen. I was there to support my younger sister. She's aspiring to be a model (and she got through the first casting!) so we'll see wat the future will bring for her.

More posts to come this week..

OUTFIT // Le Soleil Toute L'Année.

It's time to show you what last week's preview post was all about! I received a wonderful dress by the new brand Doubler le Sol! You should check out their website - it's a really inspiring concept. The website opens with a small movie, stylish! The webshop itself is a mashup of DLS products and vintage accessorizing. Really nice.
At the moment I opened the package I fell in love with the texture, print and fit of this piece of clothing. I immediately started roaming through my closet to find some inspiring combinations with the dress. It's so versatile - although you wouldn't exactly think of it as a party dress, it's so much more than a day dress.

1. Insane party

Jacket | H&M Trend
Elastic cage top | DIY
Wedges | Topshop

The cage top makes this dress totally party-proof!

2. Smart look
Dress worn as top | DLS
Blazer | New Look
Hareem pants | random
Moccasins | ZARA
Skinny belt | vintage
Clutch | vintage

For whenever you don't feel like wearing it as a dress, it's perfect as a top as well. Instant smart look together with the blazer and moccasins!

3. Relaxation..
Dress | DLS
Knitted cardigan | Massimo Dutti
Knee socks | H&M
Belt | H&M

And for the rainy Sundays (or in this case, a rainy Wednesday), the dress is perfect to relax in, watch a stunning movie and have hot chocolate with marshmallows.

In the end, it's not about having a closet containing hundreds of pieces of clothing. It's about the styling, and the creativity you put into your style. Make unexpected combinations and you'll find new stylish possibilities..

OUTFIT // You be my star, I'll be your sky.

Some things strangely seem to repeat themselves..

Exactly one year ago, I walked the small streets of a tiny Dutch village called De Rijp. The sundown was gorgeous.. The rays of the sun made the narrow cobblestone-covered alleys glisten in their warmth. While the sun slowly descended the sky behind the old traditional houses, I went into a cute restaurant together with the people I love. We had a wonderful night. After dinner, while leaving the cooled down streets of the little town, I couldn't have known I'd be walking there a year later.. Walking down the same cobblestone road, bathing in the beams of the sunset..

I just discovered I even brought the same bag with me, a bag I never use. It seems to be destined to accompany me to De Rijp though!
