Suit up!

2012-01-27T20:05:00.001+01:00

Even though I haven't been able to watch a lot of menswear shows and view a lot of pictures it's quite :obviously that there's one MAJOR trend coming up this fall: suits! Almost all designer showed suits: double breasted suits, single breasted suits, formal suits, casual suits, classic suits, avant-gardistic suits, suits combined with tees, suits combined with turtle necks and actually everything

Taylor...? Is that you?!

2012-01-19T00:15:00.003+01:00

When I saw this beautiful cover of Vogue US for the February issue, I couldn't believe that girl is Taylor Swift. I'm not exactly a Taylor Swift fan, so I was kind of surprised to hear that gorgeous, bohemian mix of Brigitte Bardot and Twiggy was actually her. That doesn't make the cover less good however!

Award Season: 69th Golden Globe Awards

2012-01-16T23:46:00.001+01:00

It's that time of the year again, the season of red carpets, Haute Couture that's actually worn, loads of pre-parties and even more afterparties: Award Season! As you may know the Golden Globes kick off the season which will come to it's climax february 26 when the Oscars will crown some lucky people. I'd like to congratulate all of the winners, but Octavia Spencer, who won the award for best

What's another year

2012-01-09T23:43:00.001+01:00

I know we're over a week into this new year, but I'd like to wish everybody the very best for the new year! I felt like writing a look-back-and-forward post like I did last year. I set some goals at the beginning of 2011, so what happened? And of course I need to look forward too. As I said a year ago, 2011 would be a year of changes for me. Harry Potter, Oprah ánd my high school career came all

It's quite scandalous...

2012-01-03T23:56:00.001+01:00

Tonight I went to see 'The Help' based upon the novel of the same name in cinema with my mother. I know in America it was released almost six months ago, but not until last week, the movie landed here in the Netherlands too. I could write stories about the huge succes of the film. It got good reviews, is named one of the best (THE best by some) movies of 2011 and is tipped to be an

Best of 2011: Fashion

2011-12-31T16:28:00.000+01:00

Fashion obviously is one of my main topics on this blog. That's why I saved this category a while, haha. Due to a chronic lack of time I think I have missed a lot in fashion. I wasn't able to do a full fashion week coverage and 'missed' some events. Nonetheless I think I can give my opinion about this year in fashion. Shoe of the year! I'm not even a woman and I'm crazy about women's shoes.

Best of 2011: Entertainment

2011-12-31T13:46:00.000+01:00

Where to begin this year? I have honestly no clue, so much happened among the rich and famous. Well, I'll just try my best! TV moment of the year! This is an easy one of course. If there's one person who changed the world, or at least the world of television, it's her Royal Television Highness, Queen Oprah Winfrey! I used to watch her Oprah Winfrey Show every day after school. Sometimes with my

Best of 2011: Film

2011-12-30T00:13:00.000+01:00

Watching movies is like one of my favourite things in the world to do. It's the closest you get to live another life. It's so different from reading books, which also is something I love to do, but at the same time it's pretty much like each other. Both are beautiful ways to escape you're own life for a moment, learn new things and just have a good time. Suprise of the year! I can't make a

Best of 2011: Music

2011-12-29T00:08:00.001+01:00

This year was a pretty good year in music I think. At least it was for me! Lots of artists and bands I like brought out fantastic new albums and I've discovered some new faces! Song of the year! I'm just gonna have my own Award show, haha. First category; song of the year! This is a tough one, for the simple fact there are so many songs this year I really, really liked. But I have to make a

So that was Christmas...

2011-12-27T00:22:00.000+01:00

Such a pity Christmas is over already. It goes so fast! I always look forward to it for quite a long time, but when it's finally there it's over before you really realize. I definitely had a casual Christmas. Just with family and friends, nothing really special but really fun nonetheless. My favourite christmas song this year definitely was Lady Gaga's rendition of White Christmas from her

My favourite things holiday gift guide!

2011-12-23T15:02:00.002+01:00

Inspired by Oprah’s annual Favourite things shows in the past and style.com’s holiday gift guide, I decided to make my own favourite things holiday gift guide again this year! So here it is, just in time for Christmas eve, haha (keep in mind that I would give these gifts if I had the money, but to be honest; I haven’t!):

What to wear?! Christmas edition!

2011-12-22T01:12:00.001+01:00

I absolutely love christmas. It's my favourite holiday and actually the only time in winter I don't mind the cold of the winter. But what do you wear during all those different Christmas celebrations? Everybody seems to celebrate it in another way, so it's hard to say how to dress appropriately, so I decided to show you looks suitable for different occasions! Ideal, right? Chic Christmas I'm

Bye, bye Versace... Hello Marni!

2011-12-06T23:42:00.001+01:00

It's just a few weeks ago since H&M launched it's Versace collection. Though I liked the collection, most of the stuff wasn't exactly my personal taste, so it was somehow disappointing. I'm a huge admirer of H&M collaborations, because I think it's an amazing opportunity for both designer brands and H&M customers to experience something new. What I actually wanted to share with you, though I

Let the festive season begin!

2011-11-26T00:57:00.001+01:00

Lady Gaga has opened her own holiday workshop at Barneys, Macy's has already held their annual Thanksgiving parade and it's just a little over a week before this traditional Dutch holiday, Sinterklaas, comes to its climax. I think we all know the holiday season has offiically kicked of. I'm dying to make 'My favourite things holiday gift guide' again this year and I'm going to post some other

Another angel goes actress

2011-11-22T19:32:00.001+01:00

After Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Doutzen Kroes too appears in a movie. Rosie, of course, took part in Transformers. Doutzen plays a role in one of the biggest Dutch films ever made, Nova Zembla. Yesterday evening was the big premiere, like we've never seen it before here in the Netherlands, with our very own crown prince and princess. Doutzen of course attended, wearing this BEAUTIFUL

Late Loud

2011-11-11T23:52:00.001+01:00

Last week my mother won tickets for Rihanna's show here in the Netherlands, so I and my sister went to see her Loud Tour concert wednesday in the Gelredome in Arnhem. Though we both aren't really Rihanna fans we really enjoyed her show. It was just such a pity she decided to have us wait for like an hour before she began, which resulted in missing the last train. We came home anyways and had a

The One That Will Stay

2011-11-05T01:00:00.001+01:00

The title of this post might be a little cheesy, but this trailer for Katy Perry's upcoming music video "The One That Got Away" seems promising to me! I love the filmic approach of this video to come. Can't wait to see the full video!

Tobi Halloween Discount

2011-10-29T14:31:00.001+02:00

I got an e-mail from webshop Tobi with their Halloween discount action. Actually I never heard of Tobi before, but after that e-mail I decided to take a look. I must say they have an amazing collection! A very diverse range of brands from quite mainstream and very affordable to more expensive and edgy, so... use the code, haha?

I see this Dolce and Gabbana commercial, with Scarlet Johansson, on tv ALL the time and I love it so much that I wanted to post it. Scarlet is this diva with all the perfect answers on questions. The answers are interesting, risque and even a little provocative. I love it. The classic portrayal of a diva. Video: Dolce and Gabbana

Versace for H&M

2011-10-22T17:50:00.001+02:00

A few days ago the Versace for H&M collection was finally revealed. Over all there definitely are some beautiful items (I'm in love with the smoking jacket for men) and they all are very Versace, but I don't know for sure what the H&M customers will think of it, because most of the items are really bold and sometimes even a little eccentric. There's a polyvore contest around this collaboration

It's all in the details

2011-10-13T23:16:00.000+02:00

All of the photos I've shown you this past few weeks are beautiful of course, but aren't the little details even more beautiful, fun and exciting to see? From the amazing shoes and bags, to wonderfully crafted clothes and accesories. See here photos of the collections of Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Balmain, Burberry Prorsum, Chanel, Prada, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Lanvin,

Paris Fashion Week Highlights

2011-10-12T16:58:00.000+02:00

After New York, London and Milan, here's my last (...fill in...) Fashion Week Highlights post. I've enjoyed going through photos of lots and lots of shows, but I find it a pity I didn't have the time to go look for new names. Enfin, Paris, again, had THE best collection this season in my eyes. Enjoy my picks! Alexander McQueen Balmain Chanel Christian Dior Elie Saab Haider

Milan Fashion Week Highlights

2011-10-09T13:44:00.000+02:00

Another Fashion Week compilation post. Here are my picks of my favourite shows in Italy. Please pay some extra attention to Versace's looks. With the Versace for H&M collaboration fastly approaching, it's interesting to take a closer look at Versace's normal collection. If the H&M collection is as good as the real thing, it'll be another 'collaborational' smash hit! D&G Dolce & Gabbana

London Fashion Week Highlights

2011-10-08T16:48:00.001+02:00

First, I'm looking for a way to be able to post more often. As you may know I have started to study a month ago. Since my "housemates" kind of kicked me out of the house days before college started, I have to travel to university everyday, which takes me hours and my schedule is CRAZY. I'm going to try to write some extra posts in the weekends, which I can publish during the week. Untill I have
