Bas Kosters Studio

2012-10-16T10:09:00.003-07:00

Hello everyone, I'm back! I haven't posted in a long time, it feels like ages ago, because my blog got hacked. Anyways, I fixed this problem and I'm 100% back. Back with an awesome post about my experience at the Bas Kosters studio.

Me and Bas Kosters.

Last Friday, when I came back from school my mom and my neighbour had a surprise for me. I didn't even know, but I was going to meet the amazing Dutch designer Bas Kosters and got to see his studio.

The studio was amazingly creative and delightful. There were a lot of awesome decorations and dolls. I love dolls, so yeah, that was cool. As you can see on the picture above, there were also a lot of massive plushies. Made by Bas. It was a great experience to see how he works and where he designs his collection and how it is in progress. I recognized a lot of his awesome dress, especially the big one with the 3D hearts on it. (picture below.)

The thing I appreciate the most is that everything is handmade and they spend a lot of time in it. Yet, it looks very great.

Here are some more pictures I made to give you an expression how it looks like.

Making clothes.

I love the dress with the buttons, and the clothing which is made from recycled clothes.

Enjoy the rest of your day! Lots of love, Zoë.

Style Inspiration.

Marc Jacobs Resort 2013. I love the shoes, they are simple but effective and the coat is such a natural beauty.

Elie Tahari Resort 2013. I love the coralorange color of the dress. I've been obsessed with this color a lot lately and this kind of dresses. I love it, it's very straighforward, but the daisy's make it complete.


Ralph Lauren Resort 2013. I adore the preppy look and Ralph Lauren couldn't be a better example for the preppy look!

Rodarte Resort 2013. Laura and Kate Mulleavy always make like such perfect shaped dresses in my opinion, just like those shoes and this dress.

As you guys all probably know, I really like Glee and musicals. I've been obsessed with the style of Tina Cohen-Chang ( Jenna Ushkowitz.) a lot lately. Since Tina changed her goth style to a whole different style, I love it. All of her dresses are really adorable. Here are some of her dresses. It reminds me of a bit prep in a childish, positive way. She wears knee-high socks and stockings or panty's a lot. And usually with bright docter Martens or just black under it.

I'm sorry for the lack of Runway pictures, I prepared a lot more, but in some way blogger won't upload it. So stay tuned for another post and style inspiration! See ya! x Zoë.

Little update.

2012-09-13T00:35:00.001-07:00

I'm sorry for my lack of posting. You probably forgot my existance, but I'll be back soon.

I have been really busy with school and other things. In other news, in the time I was away, I developed my style and I have a lot of new clothes. I also had a little accident with the bike.

Since it's Fashion Week in New York right now, I'll post a summary of my favorite collection each week. Be prepared! Love you guys! Zoë.

Apenheul

2012-08-12T09:08:00.000-07:00

Pictures take by me.

I went to the "Apenheul" with my family last week. It was a lot of fun and the monkey's were really cute. They sat on you and were free to walk everywhere. I made a lot of pictures, but a lot of them failed because the monkeys were monkeyin' around :)

Have a nice day!

New In: Primark Purcases

2012-07-31T11:29:00.000-07:00

Today I went to the Primark with my friend Parel, we had a lot of fun and I bought amazing stuff.
First of all, I really love the shoes, I was saving money to buy a pair of docs, but these look so much like the real ones, so I bought them. Normally I don't really like the fake stuff and everything, but these are really strong and I like the color. The blouse was only for 2 euros! Can you believe it?!
The first golden ring is from the Primark and the Rose ring is something I bought on Terschelling.

New In: Ibiza Purcases

2012-07-30T11:04:00.000-07:00

My promised post, new purcases from Ibiza!I think it was really worth it.I bought a knitted shorts and top but it is in the washing machine, but I will probably show you later. I got the bag from my lovely mother and its amazing.I also love the Marilyn Monroe shirt, I always love her, she is such an amazing woman. The clutch is from African Recycle Art and the blouse with a really cute print is from a little boutique in Ibiza City. I hope you like it as much as I do!

xoxo

I'm back from Ibiza and I'm hating the weather here already! I have a few posts for you about Ibiza and here is the first one about the Hippie Market. Ibiza is known for its Hippie Markets, a lot of Hippies live there and they have their own style (Think about flowers, maxidresses and stuff.)

Stay Tuned!

Resort Appreciation Post.

2012-06-17T07:41:00.001-07:00

Hellooo There, the weather is being better and better, exactly when I am in my Testweek! Life sucks, no joke, I still love life, but this isn't just fair.

Today, I didn't do a lot, I studied, I'm wearing my new dress, I will make outfit pictures soon, but not today.

I went to my friend Laura's house and reorganized her room and its totally awesome!

Yesterday I went to the "Vlaardingse Loggerfestival"and I ate aaaaa lot! FOOOD IS MY LIFE, woah, that sounds like Fat and Happy yolo. Anyways, I bought a Filly surprise thing,stuff,whatever. That is for little kids, who want a pony so badly, there are 20 pony's and one Limited Edition Unicorn! And guess what?!

I HAAAVEEE THE LIMITED EDITION UNICORN! With glow in the Dark wings, its very soft and swarovski cristals in its corn, lol. I also bought a Mintgreen dress in the H&M with a very cute belt in it and it looks perfect.

In other news, I was on style.com again and was looking at the Resort 2013 collection, I have to say Chanel 2013 Resort is still my favorite ( Made a post about it a while ago.) It was pretty close to my favorite one, but I honeslty think that Marc Jacobs did a great job with the Louis Vuitton collection,but also with Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marc Jacobs.

Stella McCartney did also a great job, but I did not really like the Tiger-print she used, so I didn't put that in my collage and yeah Valentino is always amazing. I wish I could wear Valentino.

ONE DAY I WILL WEAR VALENTINO OKAY.

I love the platform shoes a lt and the hats.

This is definitely resort, it really reminds me of a Resort. The colors, the flowerprint its amazing.

Just One Word: PERFECT

Lots of Love Zoë!!

2012-06-04T08:25:00.001-07:00

I like dressing myself up, like I did when I was a little child. Doing 2 braids or tails in my hair and wear cute dresses, groing up is something you don't have to. And I'm not doing it. This is my new dress from Men At Work and I wore it today, okay I wore it with a black panty and sturdy boots to customize it a bit. But for the photo I wore knee-high socks, brogues and my new sunglasses from Primark. I love the Pastel colored glasses and the shape of it. I also thought I really need to post some more, so I will try to post everyday something or at least as much as possible. I wanna get some new followers and grow, because I'm not doing really well and I mean with that... my English needs to improve (even though school's in English) and I need to promote it, because I never promote. Its like a rollercoasters, my followers and pagevieuwers are just coming and I like the feeling when someone adds a comment and I don't even know the person. That happens actually all the time. Thankyou all for your time and scrolling through this post or other posts/pages.
Can't say how much I love you and I almost reached 10,000 pagevieuwers! If you wanna help me, I will add you on my bloglist, I'm going to make as a page.

SOOOO MUCHHHH LOOOVEEEEE!!! TOOO MUCHHH LOOOVEEEE!!! AAA LOOOOTTT OFFF LOOOVEEEE! Zoë ;)

Preppy outfit

2012-05-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I went to the Primark with Anne-Mae and Lisa and we had so much fun, I found so much cool clothes, but a lot was sold out in my size, but I also had some cool stuff, like this cute shirt with collar, shorts, socks and bag. The shoes are also from the Primark, but I already had it. This outfit is totally Primark, funny, because I almost never shop there though. This outfit is pretty preppy :) lol

Have a nice weekend! Much Love, Zoë

Honestly I just don't care about the title.

2012-05-24T13:02:00.001-07:00

Shirt: Maison Skotch//Sweater: Street one//Jeans: Zara//Shoes: Allstars.

Almost weekend again!!WEEEE! And its almost summer vacation! Just a few weeks to go.

The weather is fantastic in the Netherlands and I'm in a wonderful mood! I wore this outfit, I think 3 months ago or something, haha, but my camera charger was lost for a while and I found it! yay!

Have a nice day, have a nice life! x Zoë

Chanel Resort 2013

2012-05-21T11:26:00.001-07:00

No doubt, this is my favorite collection of the past 4 years! (Including Rodarte Spring/Summer 2012)
Karl Lagerfeld is such a genius! He did so much collections in his life and its still very creative. This collection reminds me a little bit of a doll look and a Japanese Lolita, which I really love! If I was rich, I would buy this. Unfortunately, I have to dream.

Because YOLO

2012-05-18T08:17:00.002-07:00

Hey, I changed my outfit, because YOLO and I like this one more than the other one. What do you think? I like the little lace thing I got from my mom, so its vintage and these shoes under it.
And could you please follow me on Bloglovin Twitter or Google Friend Connect.

Love you all! x Zoe

Outfit: The lovely sunglasses

Shirt: Skotch and Soda//Cardigan: H&M Divided// Shorts: Fishbone// Polkadot tights: H&M// Shoes: Converse// Sunglasses: Primark

I haven't posted an outfit for a while and its probably because I dont have time to take pictures or they fail most of the time, because my selftimer does really weird. This is a pretty boring outfit, but I love my sunglasses!

Yesterday I went sailing, eat something in a hotel and then went to Music Festivals. It was great and I aaaatteeee aaa looootttt! Did you all liked my interview with Lisanne? :)

Much Love,

Interview with Lisanne Beute from Fashionable and Me

2012-05-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Today I interviewed one of my favorite bloggers: Lisanne Beute from Fashionable and Me! I'm following her blog for a pretty long time and she has always been in my top-3 of my favorite bloggers. I was honoured to interview her and this is probably one of my best interviews.

How do we recognize you and your style?

My style is girly and elegant with a fashionable touch. That touch can be everything, mostly it is something that people don't expect like a leather piece or something boyish. I love special items, things that not everyone wears. I also like pieces with a pattern.

Do you get inspired by people on the street? If yes, where do you think is the best streetsyle?

Yes, I get inspired by people on the street. I think Amsterdam is the best place to be in the Netherlands, but last summer I spend in Denmark and there we went to Copenhagen. That was really amazing, that people are sooo well dressed. Copenhagen is definitely my number one.

Do you like the catwalkstyle or do you prefer streetstyle?

I like a combination of both. I love watching catwalk shows, the pieces they show on the catwalk really inspire me. I like the tought behind the pieces. But, I also love streetstyle, because that are real people, who wear their own combinations. I love sitting on a terrace in the summer and watching people.

How do you combine your clothes?

I always try to combine my clothes in a different way.Actually, I never wear the same combination. Sometimes, when I'm really busy, It's hard, but I just don't like wearing the same combination twice.

What is the coolest thing you've ever done?

Hm, that's a hard question! If I look to the things that I did because I have a blog, it's definitely the Young Talent shoot for the Dutch CosmoGIRL and also Amsterdam Fashion Week was an amazing experience. Futhermore, a really cool thing I did was going to sailingkamps - I did that since I was 8 years old - , because that's always such an nice expirience.

How did you get invited for Fashion week and what was your first reaction?

I opened my mailbox last year July - I think it was July, but maybe it was alreay August - and I saw the email with the invitation, I run to my mom and screamed: 'I'm invited for Amsterdam Fashion Week, aaaaaaah'. I really didn't expected it and It took some days until I realised it. I just got the invitation and I didn't do something special to get it, except blogging ;)

What do you want to reach in your life and with your blog?

In life, I want to do things I love, like blogging, being busy with fashion, spending days with friends and graduate at high school next year. I have a goal and I want to reach that goal. My goal isn't very specific, but I know that I want to mean something for the fashion industry when I'm older. I want to keep my blog as I hobby. It's a kind of personal diary about my life and outfits. It's great to look back to one year ago and see the changes.

What do you want to reach in the fashionindustry?

I don't now yet what I really want to reach. After my high school I want to go to the Amsterdam Fashion Institute to do the study Fashion&Branding and after that I would like to work at a magazine or work for a brand/label. It's also a dream to start a own company. I would like if someone hears the name ‘Lisanne Beute’ that people say: ‘Ohh, that’s that girl’, haha.

How did you get to be blogger for Cosmogirl?

As I told I had a shoot because I was scouted as Young Talent. After that, they asked me If I wanted to blog for their site and ofcourse I said yes. I really like it!

What things do you enjoy the most about blogging?

Being busy with fashion, styling, photograhy and writing. Blogging is a kind of expressing yourself, finding your own style. I know and learn what I like and what I dislike and I also got much more confidence trough my blog.

11.What are you doing in your free time? Do you also spend your free time with fashion?

I also spend free time with fashion. I like to work on my style book, I like to draw, I like to style outfits and I also love reading fashion magazines. Besides this, I have a job and unfortunately I have to spend quite a lot of time on school.

How do you promote your blog?

Actually, I don't really promote my blog. I'm just blogging. If I have time, I leave reactions on other blogs. The blogs for CosmoGIRL ensure a bit promotion.

Do you have any tips for small blogs who want to be big like me? :)

Just be yourself. Blog things that you like, be enthousiastic and work on your blog with passion. I believe that If you believe this things yourself, other people will see it too. Don't focus to much on 'becoming a big blog' but just have fun in what your are doing!
