Karl Lagerfeld 2014 Chanel Cruise Show

2013-05-23T07:30:00.000+02:00

Karl Lagerfeld staged the 2014 Chanel Cruise show in Singapore last, and I have to say it was one of the most low-key Chanel shows you’ve seen in many seasons. This one took place in a former colonial British army barracks. You can say that is kind of was the aesthetic opposite of the over-the-top opulence.

Compared to the usual Chanel show this one is more intimately sized. The barracks featured just a few rows of seating in a very institutional-looking room, complete with paint peeling on the walls. The clothes were just as luxurious as they usually are–this is still Chanel–but in quieter way. The palette was limited to mostly black and white with some pale pastel accents thrown in. The biggest pops of color came courtesy of the models’ turquoise eye liner. I have to say that I am not really impressed by this collection. But I still like it.

Webshop Tip: MACCL

2013-05-22T07:30:00.001+02:00

Good accessories really can make your outfit. It gives the extra touch and makes it more special. Also you can decide with style you want to wear with your accessories. So yes, you can say that the right necklace, ring or bracelet are the key items for every outfit.

I have received a big package with amazing stuff from the webshop MACCL, My Accessories Closet. And I have to say that I was very impressed by the items that they sell. Different styles, different items.

MACCL, My Accessories Closet is the high street fashion accessories webshop from the Netherlands. Every season they watch the catwalk trends and search for affordable items for you to wear. So that anyone with a small or large budget can look fashionable. The service is great, I received my items within 2 days and the shipping costs are very low. Two things that are very important to me when I order something online. I hate to wait, but luckily at MACCL this is no problem.

Some of my favorite items from MACCL:

The Hermes inspired bracelet is definitely one of my favorite items. For the coming summer you can wear neon items mixed with some natural colors. I have the green bracelet and I can tell you that I love it. Especially mixed with my Michael Kors watch.

Statement necklaces are one of the things that you have to own this season. It is easy to mix and also the best way to pimp a casual outfit. This necklace with neon colors is one of the best statement necklaces that I have seen so far.

Scarves: I am a sucker for gorgeous scarves. When I opened this package I saw two scarves: a neon yellow one and a black with skulls. These two are pretty nice to mix with a white top and pastel skinny.

These are few of the items that I received. You can also win all my favorite items from the webshop. What do you have to you:

I enjoy every day that I am working. It gives you a lot of energy when you have a job that you really like. When I swtiched jobs about 5 months ago it was hard, but I am glad that I made this decision. After a great working week I had a girls night to start the weekend. My and the other 4 ladies know each other from our education Communication. It is great that we are still in touch and meet every once in a while.

Besides this great start of the weekend I went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is just finished after a big renovation. So it was time to take a look inside and see all the famous paintings. I had a great time there! Today I also have a day off, because we have a celebration day in the Netherlands. So it is time to work on my study!

Lanvin Designer Alber Elbaz For Lancome

2013-05-16T07:30:00.000+02:00

One of the things that I really like is when fashion designers create something new like a makeup line, notebook line or something like that. Lancôme made the announcement back in January that it was collaborating on a makeup collection with Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz. Now that collaboration is finally coming.

I want to give you a close look to the collection and I can tell you it is tres adorable, exceptionally whimsical, and pure Alber. There’s no doubt that the limited edition line, which hits stores and online in mid-June, will be a sell-out. The collection focuses on eyes, which was Elbaz’s decision. He said: “I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people’s eyes.” There aren’t any new colors or products in this collection. Only the packages are restyled by Elbaz.

On June 3 prior to the collection’s launch, Lancôme is releasing a film created by Elbaz for the collection.

Smartphone Case

2013-05-14T07:30:00.001+02:00

I think everyone is one with their smartphone. At least I am. I can’t live without my Samsung S3. It is my best friend, my music soulmate, my camera, social connection to the world. Yes, you can say that I am a real smartphone addict. I just love to get in touch with everyone around me and capture beautiful moments.

Even though I have my Samsung S3 for almost one year now I am craving for the Galaxy S4. They have beautiful Galaxy S4 hoesjes. I was searching for a new case for my Samsung S3 and I found the perfect one. It is real leather and I love the print on it. I think it perfectly finds my style and my S3 is white so I like to have the same color case.

Also you can find cases for the HTC One hoesjes and Galaxy S3 mini hoesjes.

Are you also addicted to your phone and do you like to change cases (hoesjes) for it. I am curious to hear more about it! So let me know if you feel the same.

This week was a really great one. Worked for three days and had four days off from my work. So it was time to enjoy some time with my friends and family. Also I did something really cool; a parachute jump. It was so amazing. We went to Texel and the view from the air was beautiful.

On Saturday evening I went to the concert from the band Racoon with my best friend. We had a great time together and enjoyed the music very much. Besides all the fun things I also went inside my wardrobe and combined a few new outfits. I think it is great to look in your own closet and make different outfits. Enjoy this week!

Second Female Lookbook

2013-05-08T07:30:00.000+02:00

I am in love with Scandinavian brands. And those brands are also the one that I am craving to add to my wardrobe. One of my favorite Scandinavian brands is Second Female. The prices are very affordable and they sell elegant and wearable clothes with an edge. Also the quality of the clothes is amazing. Every year Second Female launches six different collections, because of that their collections are always up-to-date.

When I saw their spring/summer collection for the first time I wanted to add all the outfits to my wardrobe. This collection is lovely and you can mix a lot of items together and create a lot of different looks. Also you can see prints, oversized, pastel and black-white in this collection. Those are the items that you will also find in my wardrobe. Enough said about this collection. Take a look at their lookbook and let me know what you think!

Printed Shirts

2013-05-07T07:30:00.000+02:00

As a real lover of printed shirts I thought it was time to show you a few of my favorite at the website Spartoo. A shirt with prints or text is just more special. It gives that extra something to your outfit. You can combine these shirts with a cardigan or blazer. But by sorting the shirt that fits your personality you give your outfit that personal touch.

You can find some of my favorite shirts and also take a look at the website. I am curious to hear your favorite printed shirts.

All items are available at Spartoo schoenen.

Items are from: Nike, Element, Only and Lollipops.

I think every girl likes to score that special fashion item. And it is the best feeling when you score that item without searching for it. This happened to miss last weekend. I was in the H&M looking at the Trend collection and I saw a very fluffy white cardigan. It was love at first sight. I tried it on and it fitted perfectly. So I was so happy with it and took it home.

Besides this I celebrate Queensday and worked the rest of the week. This week will be a short week with only 3 days of work. I am going to Texel for my parachute jump (so excited about it), to a concert with my best friend and have fun with my beloved ones. Have a nice week.

Great start of the week

This editorial is definitely one of my favorites that I have showed you last weeks. What do you think of it?

Trend: Apricot Hair

2013-05-01T07:30:00.000+02:00

Just like in fashion we also see trends in beauty land. To be honest I follow the beauty trends not so close as I follow the fashion trends. But it is cool to watch all the beauty trends every now and than. My hair is also the same color; brown with blonde highlights. And I kinda like it, but you have so many trends lately with hair colors that I love to take a look outside the box.

After the ombre trend, pink hair and mint green we got ourselves a new trends: apricot. We saw whole apricot hairdo’s, ombre apricot but one thing is sure it is a color that gives your outfits a whole new experience. This is also the first color that I really like as a hairstyle. The ombre version is my favorite and I am curious if more people will color their hair is this fruit color for the coming summer.
