OUTFIT // An audience with the Pope

GOOD GOD, I'M EASILY BRUISED

SO OFTEN IN LOVE

TO HER FLAME

AND THE THINGS THAT

SHE'S ASKED ME TO DO

WILL SEE A CITY OF SAINTS

FORGETTING HIS NAME

Ph. by my sister Sabine

Wearing an antique orchestra jacket, old ZARA skirt, vintage leather belt via my mommy's closet, Topshop Sakura heels and vintage boxy bag

I dived up this antique 1940's orchestra jacquet out from a pile of about 15 identical jackets. One by one hand stitched, loved and worn about 70 years ago. My jacket was the only one that came close to my size - the rest of them were way too big as they were all men's jackets. The label says it's been manufactured by the Franz Kuranda atelier in Wien, Österreich. I don't think I have ever owned a piece of clothing this unique, and full of stories.

And I hope I'll be able to cherish it for seven decades more.

Just came back from a Dutch festival called Lowlands, and my heart's filled up with one of the most beautiful things on this earthly world: music and love. This antique jacket fits the theme of my mood, and you'll be seeing the full pictures later on this week..

On another note, I wanted to say that I feel extremely shocked and aggravated by the events occured on the Pukkelpop festival in my neighbour country, Belgium. I think it struck me twice as hard since I was enjoying my time on a festival myself at the same time..

My heart goes out to the people who lost their loved ones in that terrible accident.

LIFE // London pt 1

Some pictures from the first days in London: we went to the British Museum, had an international culinary trip at the Real Food Market near the Thames (the best food event ever!), and enjoyed watching people.

LIFE // Olá, Barcelona

Ph. by me and Yapkan

Well-dressed men in Barcelona // Fishing for money in the fountains.. Clever, I guess? // One of my sisters // H&M, random // H&M Fashion Against Aids pants, Bershka vest, ancient ZARA bag, and - yes - Birkenstock sandals.. // On our way to the best view on Barcelona.. // ..Definitely worth the long walk // Olá.

I have some bits and bobs left on my camera from Spain, which I will show you later on. But I have really misbehaved with my good old Nikon in London.. The London people are so damn gorgeous, stylish and laid-back! Dreaming of moving there one day. Damn.

Back

Hello guys, back to blogging after a short break. The trips to Spain and London were fantastic. I'm sorting out the pictures as we speak!



One picture. More tomorrow.

LIFE // Model makeup

Readers who follow me on twitter already know that I have walked a show as a model a few weeks ago! I still need to sort out the pictures my boyfriend took while I was walking down the runway, but here's a picture of the look that the makeup artist gave me.



It's going to be a little bit quiet on my blog for the few coming days - I will be flying from Barcelona to London tomorrow! Excited and see you soon!

OUTFIT // Vintage bridal dress

The sun peeked out from behind the clouds and I took that moment to show the world my erm, slightly pale legs, hah hah! The legs did match the virgin atmosphere that surrounds this wonderful vintage dress - I like to believe it's a vintage bridal dress.







Dress // vintage
Sandals // unknown
Bracelets // vintage, H&M, old and from the shop I work in

RANDOM // Preview

Preview of an outfit I wore at a local festival. I've been stacking my bracelets like crazy lately, haven't done this since 2009! Full outfit post soon..

OUTFIT // Kimono blonde

I realized that you still haven't seen the item that I had mysterically featured earlier. Shame! So here you go, a brand new outfit post featuring my pastel Zara kimono. Ladies, I'm in love! The colour's perfect, and I have always had a love for the Asian style of clothing. The only thing is that the style clashes with my hair colour, which is far from Asian-like. Which is why I immediately bought this soft-coloured item the minute I saw it: it kind of blends in with the hair a bit.














The pictures were taken at a local flea market in Amsterdam, had a meeting with a bunch of lovelies. Thanks for the lovely day Sabrina, Hazal, Cana, Helena, Angela, Lotte and Zafiera!

Ph. by nearly everyone mentioned above, lol

Hi dearies! As we are speaking I am on my way to the warm beaches of Spain! It's absolutely marvelous that the most important questions of the following days will be in the category 'should I get a tan or not?' and 'do they still hold rabajas at the Spanish stores?' DELICIOUS! The fun doesn't stop there.. I'll be flying from Barcelona straight to London afterwards! Expect lots of pictures! For now I'll leave you with a little preview of an outfit I wore a few weeks ago..
