Trust Fund Dress layering

wearing; Stylestalker black trust fund dress (as a Top) from About Eloise, Monday March jacket and pants, Frye Boots

The weather (icky as per usual lately) didn't gave me a change to really show off my new Stylestalker dress from the Dutch/European webshop About Eloise. ( Finally a European shop that's a bit like the American ones we love so much!)

But it did gave me a change to show that I often use dresses as tops when I'm in a layering mood :)

ps. I still didn't made up my mind between the Lilac and Mint dr. Martens.. impossible to choose...

If all goes well, I will be the proud mama of some pastel dr. Martens by the end of this week!

I really like the (low) mint shoe the most but honestly I don't think they would look good on my skinny legs and narrow feet :(  

So it will be the lilac or mint boot that I'm going for! And although this is a summer collection I really think they would look better in Autumn/Winter with black tights!


So... Lilac or Mint?

flights of fancy

Chromat

All photos by the Olive Shoppe

I'm currently going crazy for the constructed boning and elastic body Armour from Chromat at the Olive Shoppe!!

Especially the elastic shoulder harness and the cage bralette!

(I would so wear them with pastels and my white dr. Martens)

ps. Wouldn't mind finding the bunny print dress by Fleamadonna in my closet either ;)

Dr. M

wearing; Alexander Wang blazer, TopShop dress, Dr Martens boots

I don't think the TopShop dress will survive another round in the laundry... the lining of the dress is all stretched out and makes the dress twist and turn when wearing it. Actually all my dresses and tops made out of stretchy lace fabrics tend to loose their shape after a while.. does that happen only to me?

I still really like the color though, it's a pastel lilac and the color was the reason why I wore it anyway.. feeling lilac+white+black lately!

cocorosa t-shirt @ Zara

Zara cocorosa blogger t-shirt 

I'm on a t-shirt in the Zara! 

I actually don't know what to write but for me it was pretty amazing to see my own snout hanging in the Zara, I think maybe people expect me to act kind of "cool" and "unaffected" about it?

But the truth is that I grew up in a very small city in a very small country and when growing up in the middle of nowhere a lot of things seem impossible especially if you are not drop dead beautiful or drop dead smart but just normal? like getting a job in New York or getting interviewed for magazines and especially appear on a t-shirt in the Zara! 

When I saw myself in the Zara I imagined myself being 17 again, I would not have believed it! I think what I want to say is that often when I was 17 I could only dream about things and felt discouraged because all these dreams deemed impossible because of where I lived and because who I was. I just want to say that I was wrong.. If I can be on a t-shirt coming from the middle of nowhere everyone can be! I think your dreams, whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever they are can come true! Never feel discouraged! xoxo

Thank you Zara and Happy Punt!!

JC night walk

Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk at solestruck


Really love the JC Night Walk but I feel I need to see them first on someone! and I would really like to know if they are easy to walk in! I'm also a bit hesitant about the "mary-jane" strap because I would like these maybe as simple as possible? but maybe that's just me?

But mostly my brain is spinning right now, can these shoes be embellished? I am so in love with the shape but would love to make them my own by doing a crazy DIY, to say crystallize them!
So I hope there will be a nude/brown/white version of a material that I can sew on, glue on whatever!!

Starbusted again

stylebySofia dress, wolford thigh high socks, Forever21 stud boots

I had a giant wardrobe clean-up over the weekend and realized how much I love these studded boots from forever21. (I bought them more then a year ago for $30)

They are very similar to the Jeffrey Campbell Starburst boots which made a come-back at Solestruck and Nastygal!

Mug Shot

look Ma, I'm not smiling!


No need to say the "not smiling" bit took some effort and the photos came out looking like mug shots haha

I had to take a few close-up shots yesterday with little time to show to a make-up label for a possible lookbook photoshoot!! fingers crossed.

These just made me smile and I kind of really want them, they remind me of the Marc Jacobs mouse flats only these really stole my heart..

feel good Sunday's

I'm wearing; TopShop hair bow, H&M sheer blouse, ShopAkira lace shorts, Wolford over the knee socks, Jeffrey Campbell foxy wood's in multi glitter.

It became a habit to visit feel-good blogs on Sunday's and one of those blogs is http://wishwishwish.net/

I think I spent every Sunday at least a hour browsing quietly through Carries blog, enjoying a cup of coffee while dreaming away by her beautiful photos! 

Today I came across her post about photoshop actions and editing, in this post she added zip files for us to download with photoshop actions for vintage photo effects (very similar to my photos) and 'Bokeh' images to use as overlay layers to create glittery, flared effects. 

So that just made my Sunday a whole lot more fun! I downloaded her "Bokeh" images and started playing with them with these photos being the result!

See wishwishwish.net for full post and explanation!

Monday March lookbook/poster

all photos by come over to the dark side we have candy

A little while ago I got to play model in a photoshoot for Monday March's Spring 2012 lookbook together with fashion bloggers Cindy, Anna and Mio and yesterday I finally received the much anticipated lookbook in the mail plus a gift bag full of goodies of the latest fall/winter collection and already a beautiful top from this collection!

The lookbook is a poster with on one side a big black and white print of us all together and on the other side a collage of all the different looks and outfits.

Everytime I look at the poster it really reminds me of the fun I had that day!! 

(more photos of the Monday March shoot here and here)
