between the black

Busy, busy.

2012-02-26T16:16:00.001+01:00

Right now I'm having an internship again, which takes up most of my time. But, I got a new iPhone 4s, so thanks to that, blogging will be way easier. ( I won't have to carry my camera with me all the time anymore haha ). Besides that, I went to a little party and celebrated my two-and-a-half-year anniversary with the boyfriend.

Walk the line

2012-02-20T20:12:00.000+01:00

Just some quick shots from an outfit I wore last weekend, enjoying the sun while taking a walk around town with my boyfriend. I wore a vintage coat, leather pants from h&m and shoes from river island.

So far the best collection I've seen at this years NYFW. The shapes are amazing, the colour palette is gorgeous and the shoes are stunning. Do I need to say more?

I wish it was like this all the time.

2012-02-13T20:16:00.003+01:00

Nothing Fancy, just what I've been up to the last couple of days. When there is ice, I really appreciate the small part of Holland I live in. I think 50% is water overhere and when it is frozen, everthing is just magical. Everyone seems to be in such an amazing mood and I just absolutely love ice-skating. Oh and, nevermind my red, swollen face, I just finished skating 20km when this was taken.

Frozen red

2012-02-07T19:35:00.000+01:00

Since the 'world' is all white now, I thought wearing some colour would make a pretty contrast.. And it did. But I wasn't able to get it on photo properly, too bad..

Beanie & knit Primark, Boots Sacha, Jeans Topshop, Leather gloves and jacket H&M.

Winter Wonderland

2012-02-05T21:13:00.000+01:00

Our little country is covered in snow since last friday, and I love it. I've always been a winter loving girl, but only when the temperatures go below zero and snow is falling down the sky.

Jeans Topshop, Boots UGG australia, Jacket Stylist own, Belt Pieces, Top, scarf and beanie H&M.

Finally a proper outfit photo again.

2012-01-29T21:13:00.000+01:00

Not much to say now, I am busy with school all the time!

Jacket: Very by Vero Moda, Jeans: Topshop, Shoes: Ebay, Necklace: Fashionology, Top and Scarf: H&M.

ACNE PRE FALL

2012-01-21T20:36:00.000+01:00

I must admit I did not like all the looks, but these are pretty good. The bright pink shoes and the transparant bag need to find a way to come into my closet asap.

Turning something old into something new.

2012-01-19T20:18:00.000+01:00

I've spend the past few days cleaning my room and closet, and while doing that I found some old goodies. Like this silver-stone-cuff, which I bought half a year ago but totally forgot about? It matches perfectly with my feather bangle, which I wear on a daily basis. And under all the dust I also found some nail polishes I never used before, like this minty coloured one from H&M, the quality is rubbish because it does not stay on for long, but it's the perfect colour for spring!

Say hello to..

2012-01-17T23:31:00.000+01:00

I am, and always have been a big sneakers/trainers fan, but somehow barely bought or wore any of them the past years. So when I saw these Isabel Marant shoes for the first time, I felt head-over-heels in love with them, because they are beautiful in some kind of ugly way. But I did not buy the real deal this time, I just couldn't see myself spending so much...on sneakers, because they still are sneakers, and not some pair of inpecable heels with amazing detailing etc. I do feel kind of bad in a way, because I am not for buying knock-off's and I am a big supported of Isabel Marants designs. But for this time, I think it's okay, besides these are exactly alike and stunning as well.

Time is running out.

2012-01-15T19:37:00.000+01:00

Right now I should be working so hard on my interiour project. I have been working on it for two weeks in a row now, and it's almost finished. So here's a quick outfit post!

Coat H&M, Knit Primark, Necklace Fashionology, Shirt Acne and Jeans from Topshop.

PRE-FALL FAVORITES

2012-01-10T17:42:00.000+01:00

Prabal Gurung, breathtaking in my opinion. I don't show it much on here, but I am a big fan of patterns and prints, especially mixed together. The leather shorts look stunning and seem to be the perfect not-too-short length. I might visit some stores later on this year on the hunt for those stunning sunglasses.

It seems that Celine can't do any wrong. I love the loose fit pants, and I won't even talk about the leather ones because.. oh, well you can imagine. The black coat with the leather parts is so well shaped and the bags are stunning as always. The chocolate brown - blue one reminds me a bit of the one we already saw at Zara last season, but that doesn't make me less excited. Now if only I had some more money to spend.

First of 2012.

2012-01-08T23:48:00.000+01:00

Here it is, my first look of 2012.. Nothing fancy though! Just a basic outfit I mostly wear.

Jeans Topshop, Converse shoes, Feather bracelet Fashionology, Studded bracelet Esprit, Belt Primark, Scarf, top and bag H&M and Coat by Vila.

2012!

2012-01-06T18:52:00.000+01:00

Wow! Ever since 2012 started I did not have anytime to blog. So you just have to do with this gorgeous interiour photograph. If only a part of my room looked so nice..

A little touch of pink..

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

I'm longing for snow now after seen many christmas movies.. But since the sun was shining during these days I felt the urge to put a bit of colour into my outfit, so I decided to go for a tiny pop of pink combined with an all black ensemble again.

Coat, top, scarf and knit: H&M, Jeans Topshop, Converse shoes and Bag from Ebay.

Holiday season..

2011-12-25T23:38:00.000+01:00

Merry Christmas, I hope you all have a wonderful time with the people you love and care about.

Excuse me for looking a bit tired, I'm lacking sleep lately.

2011-12-18T21:52:00.000+01:00

Went for an almost all black outfit today, haven't done that much lately even though I called my blog after it. I bought this jacket some days ago, and even though it's nothing like I thought I'd ever wear, it's so warm! And if the weatherman is right, and we're going to have this 'horrorwinter'.. I'll be happy to wear this jacket instead of freezing.

Jacket Vila, Shoes Bizzy, Jeans Topshop, Top Isabel Marant, Bag Forever 21 and Necklace from H&M.

Helmut Lang pre-fall.

2011-12-15T15:51:00.001+01:00

Even though it is still autumn, the pre-fall collections for 2012 are already all over the web. I've always been a fan of Helmut Lang, and this collection represents my personal taste quite good. I love the black on black, and the black combined with grey/white. The asymmetrical shapes, layering and leather jackets. The green colored jeans are also very nice, though I prefer the dark ones. What do you think?

12 12 2011

2011-12-12T17:20:00.000+01:00

I've bought these boots some days ago, since they were so cheap and made of real leather - I just couldn't resist. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I've owned in a while..

Shirt Acne, Coat and scarf H&M, Bag Forever 21, Jeans Topshop.

Something new..

2011-12-06T19:03:00.000+01:00

Earrings with an aztec vibe to it from Topshop and an amazing shirt from Acne. It's already becoming my favorite since it can be worn in so many different ways.

2011-12-04T21:58:00.000+01:00

Amazing jewelry. H&M S/S12, white and off-whites, can't wait to get my hands on that sleeveless leather jacket. Abby Lee's almost white hair, I might dye mine. Those Isabel Marant jeans in black, and again white on white with some black wedges or boots, since it's getting colder now.

Three times.

2011-12-01T17:51:00.001+01:00

I wore this some days ago. The boots are actually knee high boots but I like them more when worn down. 'Cause the outfit isn't that interesting, I thought why not play with the picture a bit?

boots: sacha, jeans: topshop, coat & scarf: H&M, knit: vero moda.

Daily Routine

2011-11-29T19:24:00.005+01:00

I got asked quite a lot on my tumblr to tell something about my make-up and make-up routine. So I figured I could tell you something about that - since I do not have time to take some outfit photo's right now. I would say that my daily make-up routine is pretty basic and simple, but it's all about finding the right products for you. I've tried so many make-up brands, and I can honestly say that the price tag does stand for the quality. The two things I am willing to spend some more money on are lipsticks and mascara, since I figured out that expensive foundation doesn't cover more than some cheap one.

More expensive products:

1. Yves Saint Laurent Lash Effect mascara.

2. Barbara Bort Golden Brown eyebrow pencil.

3. Chanel Rouge Coco '21' Rivoli lipstick.

4. Barbara Bort Silken Lips '2'.

5. Barbara Bort Dark Gray eye pencil '6'.

Cheap products:

1. Essence Mattifying Compact Powder Perfect Beige.

2. Catrice Mattifying Mousse '20' Natural Beige.

3. Catrice Liquid Liner, black.

4. 'Unknown' dark brown eyeshadow.

5. Essence Golden and Brown eyeshadow.
6. Maybelline New York Heather Shimmer lipstick.

In the next 'beauty post' I will show you some more, and maybe even the before and after.

Not much too say, not much time either.

2011-11-27T21:44:00.000+01:00

I hope I'll be able to do some decent blogging this week.

Winter Winds

2011-11-20T22:26:00.000+01:00

Pff the past week has been so cold, that I've spent most of my free days inside, just hangin' around.

Coat, scarf and bag all H&M, Jeans from Topshop, Top Isabel Marant and Converse shoes.

New in

2011-11-15T21:57:00.000+01:00

Some great pieces of jewelry, evil eye necklace from fashionology and feather earrings from H&M.

Monika Jac Jagaciak

2011-11-08T17:27:00.001+01:00

How amazing is this look by Jac? Makes me crave for some dark coloured leopard pants.

No time at all.

2011-11-04T17:22:00.000+01:00

Wow I've been so busy lately that I've got barely any time for blogging.

Blazer: Mango, Jeans: Topshop, Shoes: Converse, Top: H&M, Belt: Pieces.

Nowhere

2011-10-24T19:46:00.000+02:00

I got this Nowhere knit in the post the other day, even though I loved the colour and quality the sleeves were just way too big. So I guess I'll be sending it back, can't wait to for the shoes and accessoires to come out in november though!

Mixing old and new.

2011-10-22T19:53:00.000+02:00

I'm getting really fed up with the fact that I still don't have a good lense for my DSLR. Hopefully I'll be able to get one next week! As for my outfit, I had to grab an old coat out of my closet, since I also still need to get a decent winter coat..

old coat; vero moda, old sacha boots, old forever 21 bag, topshop jeans, sparkle and fade jumper.

Anna Selezneva for Isabel Marant Etoile Spring 2012

2011-10-20T12:41:00.000+02:00

I'm really liking these pictures from the Etoile Isabel Marant lookbook. Too bad it's only a small part I actually like..

Colours

2011-10-17T16:57:00.000+02:00

Didn't have much time last week to blog, but nontheless here's a quick update. Ordered the coloured skull bracelet last week. I tend to wear no colours most of the time, so adding some colors as accessoires is a nice thing to do.

Amsterdam

2011-10-11T21:34:00.000+02:00

Me and the boyfriend were in Amsterdam last weekend, going to the Ijhallen and seeing Dallas Green. He is amazing and even though the pictures are not the best quality, he deserves a spot on my blog.

what i was wearing: topshop jeans, converse shoes, vintage blazer, isabel marant dress as a top, very by vero moda leather jacket, H&M scarf and old bag.

Beautiful Frida

2011-10-05T17:09:00.001+02:00

Frida looks utterly beautiful on this picture.. I'm not always a big fan of her clothes since it's not really my style, but I love this! Wouldn't mind having the knit, necklace and bag.

SS12

2011-09-21T20:39:00.000+02:00

I liked most s/s collections this time, but for me so far the one from Burberry Prorsum was the best. I just love the chunky coats combined with the feminine skirts and heels.

pictures: style.com

Since my last post was about hair anyways..

2011-09-20T21:41:00.000+02:00

What to do when you have like 3 hours off from College but not the energy to go to town? You dive into all the clothing, hats, wigs and such at College with a friend. We had such a laugh.. Can you imagine me with short hair? no? yes? This wig was by far my favorite and to be honest, I love the color. Too bad it totally mismatched with the knit I was wearing otherwise I would had probably kept it on all day long.

busy days

2011-09-15T17:27:00.000+02:00

I made this picture with my compact digital camera using a red light filter, I kind of like the effect it brings, especially to my hair.. Since I still want and need to change it.. How about this color?

( Primark Blazer, the Darling scarf, Topshop jeans, Converse shoes. )

7:00 AM / I actually snapped the photo's early in the morning before College.

2011-09-13T18:25:00.001+02:00

I'm in love with my new Chanel Rouge Coco number 21. lipstick, it's such an amazing color, burgundy-ish, perfect for fall.

autumn's coming

2011-09-12T22:49:00.000+02:00

Had my first day at College again today and I already felt a bit cold while being outside.. So I wouldn't mind having this amazing Isabel Marant coat right now, to bad it's way too expensive.

london diaries

2011-09-09T00:15:00.000+02:00

1) Arriving in London, Paddington. 2) Wearing Topshop jeans, Isabel Marant dress as top, Vintage blazer and H&M bag. 3) Did some quick shopping at forever 21. 4) Late night walks. 5) King's College? I'm not sure. 6) Loved those beers! Can we get murphys overhere please? 7) Did some major shopping. 8) Leaving London.

fresh start

2011-09-07T15:15:00.000+02:00

I'm back from London and ready to start blogging again, or not ? I had my doubts the last couple of days because everybody has a blog nowadays and it is hard to find one that is actually original and/or different. Neither do I think that my blog or my personal style is original or outstanding, so should I continue or not? I decided yes, but I'll make this blog more personal and how I like it, not to please anybody but just for me.. And hopefully you'll like it too.

Currently working on my blog

2011-08-25T22:24:00.001+02:00

Will probably take till next week! 'Cause I'll be spending my time in London from next monday till friday. bye!

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 08: STILL WORKING ON THE LAYOUT.
