Feature ~ Nylon Japan June

I'm featured in Nylon Japan's June issue!! (on page 68)

What I love about this feature is that it's a bit different then other features I had so far!
They created 4 new looks inspired by my "girly romantic" style, featuring my original outfits plus the re-created look on a Model! 


(click the link to see the full feature)

 

It's so fun to see how the looks are re-created!
And it actually makes me want to do the same with some of the looks I love so much from other bloggers ;) 

You can see the original posts + photos of the looks here, here, here and here

At cafe Wien

Wearing my new Threadsence Sheer Fluttery Top 
(Just arrived in the mail today!)

Today is crazy!! 

I woke up early to do my bookkeeping (the deadline is uhm in 2 days) and I have no idea what I'm doing! 

Then I almost missed the package (with this top) and literally ran outside following the mail guy! I just barely caught him on time!

Back inside I had to print out my bookkeeping mess only to discover that the print cartridges were empty :S

So while getting ready to step out my laptop all of the sudden dies on me! I re-start it, dies again.. error messages.. by this time I'm almost dying.. I give the Mac a disk-repair after which it keeps failing!! So I ran to the Mac store just thinking about buying a new one with my credit-card and sit on the financial blisters for a month.. went back home to fetch the macbook so I could transfer via firewire my files when buying the new one... 

and guess what? The Mac is working now!! I'm not sure for how long so I seriously think I have set a time record on editing and uploading a blog post! I'm so paranoid right now thinking the Mac will fail again any minute! Crazy...


Oh and wait.. of course I didn't got any bookkeeping done and I'm still without cartridges, haha :)

MondayMarch Shoot

Here is a little sneak peek of last Wednesday's photoshoot for clothing Label Monday March in Amsterdam!
I was modeling together with bloggers Anna from Overdose.am and Cindy from Come over to the dark side we have candy for their SS 2012 lookbook.

lots and lots of make up!

No need to say that I fell in Love with this blazer instantly!

Cindy's amazing shoes!

I really wish I knew where to get these brogues!

I had such an awesome day meeting these lovely gals, the team and the designer behind the Label! Seriously I can't wait to see the lookbook and for the clothes to come in stores already!

Best Kept Secrets

I'm wearing; Isabel Marant mustard yellow jumper, H&M collar dress, diy by feedyourstyle feather mohawk shoes (see the tutorial here)

Thank you to everyone for the Birthday wishes!! I had the best day ever, the presents didn't include shoes but living essentials like a coffee maker and oven, oh and actually money to spent on shoes.. or to spent on baking, seriously I asked for a freezer too but my family noticed the underling plan to stuff it with pizza's (which would end up daily in the oven of course) Talking about pizza's.. I had my taste of a cheese-banana pizza the other day which was actually really really good!!

Sorry for the bulk of indoor pics but it seems to be pouring down every day lately!!

The best thing about dresses with a collar is that you can wear it with sweaters/jumpers! Giving it a preppy go! So I'm always on the look out for collard dresses because they make styling so much fun! But the best kept secret is the combination of a nude/blush pink with mustard yellow!

Weird case of the Chloé's

I'm wearing; Chloe silk eyelet top, (faux?) Chloe silk eyelet skirt, H&M scarf (wrapped and tied) Miista Naia huarache platforms.

What I have here is a weird case of the Chloé's....

I bought the top at Tokio7 (a consignment shop in NY) and the skirt at some kind of vintage market event, also in NY. Both the Top and Skirt are silk and have the same eyelet pattern, only the top is an off-white/cream color and the skirt is a real white.. they both have a Chloé label but different from each other, with the Skirt being made in China..

The top is way more delicate in design and detailing so I expect the skirt to be a knock-off Chloé, weird though that they bothered to counterfeit in pure silk, no?

Anyway, the top and skirt go beautifully together and were perfect to show off my new Naia platforms from Miista :)


*EDIT*

Miista created a discount code of 30% on all their shoes (including these babes) The code is valid for 20 readers only so first come first served!! Type in: cocorosa at checkout.

Really Red

I'm wearing; H&M red dress, Miista open toe heels

See, I do have some color in my wardrobe..
The H&M dress is a very in your face orange-y-red, one of the few shades of red that goes with fair complexions (but maybe that's just my opinion) The other day I noticed that Zara has some jersey shawls that are the same intense red, I was thinking of buying a few and then make something else out of them but its just an idea..
Of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't like to dress up red with pastel pinks, ha! Pastel habits die hard ;)

Sunday

I'm wearing; Satorisan sneakers, Stylestalker blazer, H&M leggings, Chloe top

As promised an outfit with some color and some photos of my new home!

The velvet plaid and pillows covering the Chair are from H&M home (bought online just a few weeks ago) and the Red bench, the lamp on the bench and the cream colored yarn sit sack are from a store in the East Village called "Tiny Apartments" the big pompoms are a "do it your self", I would have made more and bigger ones if I didn't run out of yarn haha

The sneakers are from a new Spanish brand called Satorisan and are kind of like Vans but then made out of a perforated washed-out-look leather. And for those who aren't familiar with Stylestalker, seriously check it out!


The past few weeks I felt so shitty because my hair had turned a brassy yellow and my very fair skin was blotchy/patchy thanks to a decade of sun-damage and a smoking habit..

Seriously be very careful with the sun especially if you have a fair skin, you don't see what it does when you are in your 20's but when you hit 30s like me it will bite you in the ass, same with smoking.

Anyway I had my fix and feel so much better! With fix I mean lots of silver shampoo and a self tanner haha.. I used the Sensai Silky Bronze from Kanebo, a bit pricey but the color came out nice, still a bit too orange for me but I think that's just inevitable on fair skin and it left my skin radiant and moisturized.. Seriously I feel rejuvenated lol its like a body foundation, now I don't have to wear make-up ;)
