By bike with Longchamp

I want to share with you the amazing campaign of Longchamp shot by Max Vadukul. It is so cheerful! What characterizes the Netherlands more than some pretty girls on a bike?

Surprise, surprise!

This is the jumper I bought in Rotterdam at Roush. It is from Marlene Birger. She added some surprising details which make it very special. I made the skirt myself from a fabric of Liberty London. If you happen to go to London, you should go there! They have beautiful fabrics and other things. It is an amazing wooden builing made of two old boats. I really recommend it!

A day in Rotterdam

Last Friday I went to Rotterdam to visit the exhibition 'Werkstijl' (Working style) in the Schielandshuis. It is an exhibition about working clothes over the last decades and how artists are inspired by this. 

On my way to the museum I saw an interesting fashion shop and walked in to have a look. Here I met a very nice girl from Sweden. She gave me tips and showed her and a friend's blog: anshless.com. It is a great blog about fashion and arts with inspiring pictures. The blog is different from others and that's why I really like it! Of course I did some shopping too. I bought a jumper with surprising details which I will show you soon!

Cakes & Carrots Paperworks

These are two drawings I made for Cakes & Carrots Paperworks, an webshop where you can order customized placemats. You can chose from a selection of pictures on the site or you can use one of your own pictures or drawings. If you can't find the perfect accessories for your party, you can now make them yourself! Isn't that great? I will make more drawings in the future.

A dress for a sunny day

Today I am happy to show you my new MSGM dress as I promised a few days ago. This dress screams for some sunshine. It is a bit sunny so I think it is the right time to show it! When I was looking for a bag that fits the dress, I thought the L'Inde le Palais bag, that came with the dress, was a good combination. :)

One ray of sunshine

... Would make me so happy in these rainy days! In the last picture I captured a bit of sunshine yesterday.

MSGM holiday dress

Today I had my last exam and now my holidays started fi-nal-ly!

I am so tired and so extremely happy at the same time! Now I have all the time of the world to work on my blog!

Do you remember I told you about a dress in Antwerp? It was from MSGM, a gorgeous brand I first came across on the site of Chiara Ferragni, theblondesalad.com.
After some research on the internet, I found it in the sale on the site of L'Inde le Palais (right now there is still one available in a small size). I ordered it some days ago and today, when I came home, there was a package on the table. Perfect timing, isn't it? 

I will show you the dress when it stops raining here...
