PITCH PERFECT

This January Pitch Perfect, a crazy fun movie that will most definitely make you laugh will hit theaters in Europe! The movie gets compared in the line of Bring it On, Mean Girls and even Bridesmaids and that can only be good! To start it all off Club MTV will host an amazing party in Amsterdam and I get to give away 2 tickets! (Read full details after the jump)

The Movie

Arriving at her new college, Beca (Anna Kendrick) finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca leads this a cappella singing group out of their traditional arrangement and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the college music competitions. Pitch Perfect is an outrageously hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy that also stars Anna Camp (The Help), Brittany Snow (Hairspray), and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids).

A few more days before Christmas (and New Years Eve) so it's the perfect time to share my 10 favorite Glitter and Glam tutorials! I just love Whimsical Sparkles in these cold winter days and love to give my apartment that perfect glittery touch! Hope you love these beauty and home decor tutorials as much as I do!

2) '50s Glam Waves

Although not a full tutorial, just a simple how-to description these '50s Glam waves would make such a perfect Holiday-do! I still need to learn how to work with rollers.

3) Glitter and Glam Eyes

This Polish girl really knows her eye-make-up! The video's are (sadly) in Polish but I'm glued to them anyway just to figure how how to get those perfect eyes! (I kind of skip back and forth in the video's towards the steps)

While in London...

A few weeks ago I took part in a fun project together with friends and bloggers Alice, Camille and Shini. Fellow east London brands Miista and Muubaa invited us over to the gorgeous Belt Craft Studios in North London where we were asked to style our favorite items for a video shoot! So many Miiiiiistaaas and so many Muubaaaaas, and to combine them, swoon! I had such a great day and I really love how the video turned out!

OUTFIT: My Esprit Holiday Look

A few days ago I told you how I visited the Esprit head offices in Amsterdam to take an up-close look at Esprit's "Wrap yourself in Luxury" Campaign. Right away I fell heart over heels for the classic items and looks like the suspender trousers, v-neck blouses and smoking jackets! Oh gosh, me and old Hollywood glam.. So there was no doubt what my Esprit Holiday look would be! To keep it all "me" .... okay... I lied... to protect me from cold feet I styled the look with glitter socks and I actually do really like it but to be honest I would change shoes upon entering the event, destination, party (everything indoors) to open toed heels, very high minimal strappy heels for that ultra-feminine finishing touch!

OUTFIT: Dip Dye and Two Tone

This is actually one of my own favorite outfits! I had been waiting forever for that perfect moment to wear my H&M trend white peplum skirt and what better way to mash it up with Muubaa's Dip Dye leather jacket and Miista's Two Tone Mia Boots? Oh, and I know... I had my crazy 5 minutes of the day haha and it became impossible to stand still for even just a few seconds to take a photo, of course I regret that now hahaha

WRAP YOURSELF IN LUXURY

 
new Esprit goodies!

Last week I went to visit the Esprit head offices in Amsterdam together with Yara and Cindy to take a closer look at Esprit's new "WRAP YOURSELF IN LUXURY" campaign!

The lookbook reads like a poem and I was seriously impressed by the beautiful soft merino knits and delicate fabrics! My favorite items and looks of this new collection are "the less is more" and "classic and elegant" looks that remind me of old Hollywood classics. Beautiful flowing shapes and simple cuts in trousers and blouses and gosh, a smoking jacket that I just had to take home with me!

xoxo
Find more inspiration at esprit.com and stay tuned  to see my new Esprit goodies and Holiday look soon!

OUTFIT: new Muubaa Shearling Biker Jacket

Ohhhhh it's sooooo cold! I managed to finally take some outfit pictures between days of snow and rain and I swear within a 5 min time frame my hands turned pink and then purple! My new shearling biker jacket did really keep me warm, I just should have worn gloves too!

I got the jacket a few weeks ago in London when I met the Muubaa design team at the Muubaa x Miista event (together with Shini, Alice and Camille) After seeing the Fall/Winter and some Spring/Summer Muubaa pieces I really became a fan! The sizes and fits of the Jackets are really perfect plus the designs and leather washings are amazing! This Muubaa jacket is my Fall/Winter favorite, just loving the shearling/leather combination so much!

DIY Baroque Baseball Cap (+ Tutorial)

I was asked by my friends over at Miista to brew up another DIY! They really loved the DIY baroque tights and loved to see how I would apply the same idea to another item, uhm yes, one that didn't take 16 hours to make haha. So I went for a Baseball Cap. The Baseball Cap ended up being a far easier DIY, I think I finished it within a hour! I did take another approach making it so I made a separate tutorial. I loved that the cap came out having a bit of that 90s flavor! I have been wearing it non-stop ;)
