Dear sweethearts. Creating my new website takes a lot more time then I thought. So before I go online with my new site I wanted to post a look just so you guys don't have to wait so damn long. And I wanted to introduce you to these new bracelets that I found on http://www.speechlessbracelets.nl/ They use inspirational quotes to give people motivation. Now I'm on my way to this amazing festival: Pitch festival in Amsterdam. See you soon <3

EXCITING NEWS to tell !!

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sun, 12 May 2013 11:24:00 +0000

As you all know I haven't been blogging properly. I'm currently writing my bachelor thesis and totally stressing about it because my deadline is in three weeks! This also means that I finish school in three weeks. I've been thinking a lot about what I really want to do after I get my degree. I decided that my biggest wish is to be a fulltime blogger. Because honestly, blogging about fashion is really the thing I love to do most. But.. since I don't have millions of followers in order for me to live of my blog, and I have to pay rent and food I still have to work unfortunately. So I'm making the choice to work part-time and work on my blog the rest of the week. This means that I can finally dedicate a good amount of time on my blog.

So what is going to happen after three weeks?
Well I'm going to change my blog completely. I bought my domain name yesterday (yeah!!). My new blog, www.Her-Phoenix.com will be a very interactive website. The website will have a lot of do-it-yourselfs, inspiration, video's and more. It will be all about how you can create your own unique style. Most of the well-known bloggers and famous style-icons look amazing wearing expensive designer outfits. But I want to show that you don't need to have a lot of money to wear clothes that no one else has. Everyone can look special using the right amount of creativity. I'm so excited about this new project that it's hard for me to concentrate on my thesis haha. I hope you will all follow me on this new HerPhoenix journey. I will pour my everything in it to create something amazing for you all <3 I hope I will get my new website ready soon because I hate letting you wait. I hope I didn't lose you all with my long absence.

Never take it slow when it comes to love. You should never tame love. Fall hard, wild and intense. Love without fear of the unknown

I have so much clothes I still have to show you. Will take 100 shoots to photograph them all. But I'm totally stressed out about my final bachelor thesis so I should probably focus more on that. {(>_<)} Wearing jewellery that will be on the 'All this creativity' webshop which I told about in my previous post. Don't forget to follow them at www.facebook.com/allthiscreativity (ᵕ.ᵕ)

Back in black and gold

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:43:00 +0000

Yes I am back! There are a lot of looks coming up so keep watching my blog frequently. Unfortunately I can't provide any sunny looks as I did last year in Madrid. But at least now you can all see how I look in winter.. well without 5 layers of clothes I actually wear outside that means, and without heels because of the snow. I also have other special news! I'm the biggest fan of unique jewellery as you all know. I'm working together on a new project with the facebook community 'All this creativity' who post the sickest fashion, music, art and photography inspiration. We will open a webshop very soon with the most amazing rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. I'm wearing some jewellery on these pictures that will be available on the webshop! Now you can finally get the 'hard to find' jewellery that I always kept a secret. So follow www.facebook.com/allthiscreativity and stay tuned (ு८ு)

I'm just going to keep calling and texting you until you understand how normal I am

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:32:00 +0000

I'm not a winter person at all. I don't like cold weather, grey sky, jackets, coats and everything else in my closet that doesn't scream summer. Besides that I strongly dislike to be pale. When I say this to my boyfriend he immediately points out: 'But you're white!!". Even though I cannot deny that fact, I still like to believe that the sun kissed tanned skin I have after baking in the sun for some days, is my natural skin colour... A girl can dream8-)

Have to study now though! I'm actually way to busy to make pictures, edit them and post them but I could not say no to myself (I have no study/work discipline whatsoever). <3

Instagram - New shoes preview

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:07:00 +0000

I could not wait until Saturday (planning to make new pictures then) to show my new bone heels! You either totally adore them or totally despise them. I love extreme crazy shoes and I've always wanted shoes with a bone heel. ♥‿♥

Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are. And where you wanna be.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:31:00 +0000

I have a fear of making decisions. I'm not good in deciding/choosing. I have that problem with small unimportant things as in not knowing which picture to choose for on my blog or with not knowing if I should buy something (very ridiculous obviously). But also with very important decisions. Especially when it involves other people. I never want to let people down or hurt them in some way. So I always ignore the necessity to decide. I stick with a certain situation just so I won't have to decide. But the irony is that it's actually also a decision not to decide.. without knowing it. So with ignoring the important decisions in life, you decide not to do anything about it. Because of this I tend to get and stay in unpleasant situations. This sounds stupid of course but for me the fear of not knowing what will happen if I choose the wrong path looks worse inside my head then the actual unpleasant situation it selves. Such a mental prison right. It's always really difficult to change state of minds. At least I have a new challenge for 2013. Let's do this 8-)

In today's disposable culture, we throw away people like we do razors, always assuming there's someone better out there to hang out with

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:43:00 +0000

I pushed a camera in my best friends hands so I could show the crush I have on this new shirt. It's the god Ganesha, god of wisdom who protects and helps people who face difficulties on their (life)journey. He's the protector of all travellers. I hope he gives me some guidance on my path to. I'm finally wearing my wildfox wing earrings. They remind me of Erykah Baduh who has these insane (10 times bigger) wing earrings. (google and be amazed8-) If it's not raining tomorrow I will make new pictures<33

The way mystery can be so very sticky and tricky.

Hope I can shoot soon again<3 Lots of love

Invite to my personal life - HerPhoenix on instagram

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 15:32:00 +0000

Since my bloglife ended up in a coma, I want to invite you to my -virtual- personal life. I am obsessed with taking picture and I bet that my friends on facebook went crazy from all those posts. That's why I started to use instagram! ( it took a long time before I was finally convinced haha)
I post daily pictures of my outfit, quotes or other things that caught my eyes. You can find me @ herphoenix. I will come back and bring my biggest love -this blog- back to life. It just takes some time. Love you all. xxx

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. Now is the time for guts.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:35:00 +0000

It's fall... I still have to cope with the fact that I cannot walk around with bare legs any more. My daily looks consists out of leggings, boots and vintage blouses. I'm not looking forward to cold and snow. I hate the fact so much that I cannot post more frequently on my blog. I'm trying my best to come with a solution so I can provide more pictures on a regular basis. Besides the fact that I don't have a official photographer... yet... (lets think positive), the weather is terrible most of the time. I get home every day from my intern ship when it's almost dark... so only the weekend is left to make pictures. But today I could finally make some photos. I'm wearing my new boots!! (love them) with a vintage blouse and some gold jewellery. A simple outfit for a casual weekend. My bf could convince me to make pictures on a totally different location then normally. Have to try something new. I tend to stick with safe options haha.

Be the sort of person that when people see you wearing army pants and flip-flops, they go buy army pants and flip-flops

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 08:47:00 +0000

I truly dislike people who use the phrases: 'white pants are so NOT this season'. Or even worse: 'You should throw away this or that because it's soo not fashionable at this moment'. Every year, season, phase, moment, people are asking themselves or others: 'what is the trend now, what should I buy&wear!?'. Every magazine is full with the new 'HOT items' and the 'YOU SHOULD WEAR THIS AND NOTHING ELSE' screaming titels with pretty pictures that force you to spend hundreds of euros because THEY say it's fashion right now. Of course they tell you to throw away half of your closet and of course they come with new fashion trends every few months because else you wouldn't spend money. But I believe you should flip this process around.. You should not let people tell you what to wear... You should wear your own style with so much confidence and comfort that people want to have your mojo. A lot of times when I go shopping the people I'm with say: noo that item is horrible. I always response with: I'm going to buy it and I know you will love it! And almost every time in the end when I wear it they say: 'well I would never wear it but you can pull it off'. I truly believe that when you have the confidence you can wear EVERYTHING. You can make the weirdest fashion combination and still look awesome.

LOOK: Wearing this amazing brand MINKPINK. Wearing it with dr. Martens -> Since my intern ship I've been wearing only these on a daily basis and my heels are standing sad in my closet,

Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:00:00 +0000

Thought of today: Real love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Real love never fails. But love is terrifying.. It makes you vulnerable, emotional and even crazy&paranoid at some point. It makes you question&doubt yourself in bad times but it also helps you learn and grow. In this love challenge it sometimes feels like you'd be better of without the other person that brings out multiple emotional roller-coasters. But you should not give up on someone you think loveable thoughts about every day. You should not give up on someone who gives you butterflies and the warm, safe & comfortable feeling while being together. We should all accept and adore the insane, weird, and unique persons we love without the need to change all the bad habits. If your bf or gf can make you feel happy, special and loved at good times.. it's absolutely worth it to fight through the bad times.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions

It's weekend!!! I'm going to enjoy these 2 free days as much possible. The weather here in Holland is going to be amazing... this means -> beach!!! Probably the last beach day of the year, dammit.. I will make new pictures in this great weather of course. I wanted to share the photos of today much sooner but I lost the pictures... yeh you read it correctly. I accidentally deleted them a week ago haha. But as you can see, I found them!! I'm wearing a vintage blouse with vintage levi shorts.
I hope you will all have an amazing weekend<3

I'm an acquired taste ... not for everybody. But for the ones that get me .... i will give you all of me, all the time

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 09:48:00 +0000

Dear sweetypies. Herphoenix is back. I wish I could blog all day every day but it has been impossible last days. My new intern ship at the PR department from this amazing fashion distributor in Amsterdam has been taking all my time. I have to stand up at 7.10 every morning and I'm back home at 18.30, every day. My life changed too much the last 2 months. The transition from 'living the good life' in Madrid to full time work has been overwhelming. I will do the best I can to still provide great looks. I hope you will all stick with me in this journey. Love you all <3

Never fight negativity with negativity

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:05:00 +0000

Something on my mind lately: There are always people who will do everything in their power to make other people miserable.. so that they feel a little less miserable. Most people do this subtle and unconsciously. They try to talk you down, make you feel less secure about yourself. They just cannot help themselves giving comments that de-motivate you. There are also people though who try to make your life a less amazing place on purpose. They are realllly unhappy and insecure and might have serious mental issues. They live on revenge, regret, pain and doubt. They try to force you into regret pain and doubt as well so they do not feel alone. This is extremely dangerous. No matter how strong and confident you are.. they will try to brainwash you at some point and they usually succeed. We should never.. ever allow them to spread any negativity in our lives. Never fight them with negativity.. because then they will win. They want you to be unhappy, irritated and angry about their actions. Ignore their asses and laugh about them. You should take action though when they are actual psychos that don't stop making your life hell but you should never let this affect your emotions, feelings, motivation.... life ( this is really difficult obviously ). People can only make you feel miserable when you allow them to, never forget this!

Don't you dare, for one more second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:51:00 +0000

The promised look with my new shoes!! I could convince my sweet friend Kimberley to shoot these pictures. I'm wearing my new JC'S and a vintage blouse. Summer finally arrived in Holland. Will make some new pictures in the weekend!

Scandalous inner goddess

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 22:31:00 +0000

Meet my lovely beautiful friend Katchiri. Just love her tattoos and her outfit!

I'd rather live a life of "oh wells" than a life of "what ifs".

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 15:10:00 +0000

I finally bought myself Ray-Ban Aviator glasses. I wanted them for so long but they always seemed a little to pricey for me. I've been wearing two different sunglasses which I bought for 5 euro but I noticed that the quality of the glasses are obviously extremely bad for your eyes, especially in the strong sun of Spain. I found an amazing discount on the aviator so I finally ordered them on this great website. You can order them at SmartBuyGlasses. So important for your eyes to wear a good set of sunglasses in the summer!

Walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:06:00 +0000

Just an easy shoot for the look of the day. Wanted to show this great vintage blouse and jacket. Bought this blouse for 1 euro at a market in Madrid, insane right!?? A lot of people think I'm really rich because of the clothes I wear. This is such a funny misconception. I have an insanely amount of clothes because I buy them for so little money. My Jeffrey Campbells are the only items in my closet which I do invest more money in. But you don't need to spend a lot of money to look good or to have 'style'. Style is your identity/personality and you cannot buy that. It's about knowing who you are, what you want, wish and dream all together. With confidence and self-consciousness you can look good in everything!

Give me the right pair of shoes.. And I will conquer the world.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:09:00 +0000

Being carried by shoes. Getting wings from shoes. This is exactly how I feel when I'm wearing amazing shoes. By wearing dreams on your feet you begin making your long life dreams happen. I will always treasure this quote, cause it feels so damn true: Give a girl the right pair of shoes.. and she can conquer the world. Most of my clothes are second hand and really cheap. This vintage blouse was 2.50 euro for example. I always spend a lot of money on shoes though, I think they are an investment in your future.(thinking like this also helps to don't feel bad about your shopping spending behaviour^^). If I wear high heels I feel so empowered. I truly feel like I can handle everything that comes my way. It gives me that extra confident.

Everyone loves the lone cowboy. Free and independent, away from the law and doesn't take shit off nobody..

No sunny beach pictures today unfortunately. I love the location where we made these pictures though. You have to read the quotes on the walls. Interesting and inspiring. I'm wearing this amazing vintage jacket/blouse. Love the design on it so much.

To do anything practical, I have to turn down the volume of my imagination, but the volume button is stuck.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 12:25:00 +0000

Last Ibiza post. Already miss it so much. I'm currently in rainy Holland, not being able to enjoy the beach and running around in dresses like these. But they say it's going to be amazing weather next week... but you never know in holland so lets pray.

Blog to express, not to impress.

noreply@blogger.com (HerPhoenix) — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:44:00 +0000

Ibiza part 2! Again amazing pictures from my lovely friend Melissa. Bought this amazing vintage blouse that gives me the feeling of a kimono.
