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!

Favorite Hair Tutorials

I love spending time on my Hair, not that I'm particularly good at it but having some~weekend messing~with~my~hair~quality~time is always something I look forward too! So hence this post with some of my all time favorite tutorials!

1) the Beauty Department ~ Knotted Ponytail

One of my favorite tutorials online is the knotted Ponytail by the Beauty Department.  I just love the simplicity of the knot in a very low ponytail and the tutorial is easy to understand and work with! I just love wearing low messy ponytails with oversized sweaters and the knot will give any easy look just that little bit of extra!

2) Angelica Blick ~ Everyday Hair


Angelica's messy Up-Do is a total fall/winter must and really a perfect effortlessly look for everyday and perfect for people with fine, thin and straight hair who would like to boost some volume!

3) This Chicks Got Style ~ Braided Bun

Yara's braided bun is a nice way to give an updo something extra, really, it's a perfect combination of two; braids and buns! Win-Win!

4) A Beautiful Mess ~ Messy Braid

The messy braid is so perfect in every way! I just really wished my hair was any longer so I could sport the braid exactly like the picture!

5) Top 10 Fashion Bloggers Hairdo's

A bigger collection of Hair Styles and Tutorials is in the Top 10 Fashion Bloggers Hairdo's. I was so tempted to re-blog almost the entire list in this post which would have been silly I guess so instead I figured it's better to post the link of the Top 10. I often use the list for inspiration and use some of the tutorials to help me with making the curly hair I have been sporting lately!

Last Thursday's NSMBL x ECCO Party

photo-booth fun at the NSMBL x ECCO party

Some pictures and a video of last Thursday's NSMBL x ECCO Scandinavian themed Party at White Space Amsterdam that I co-hosted with the NSMBL crew, ThisChicksGotStyle, Comeovertothedarkside and BillieRose and ECCO ofcourse! (yes, its all of us in the picture above)

The event was such a success and I had such an amazing time meeting all our lovely readers! It ended up being such an awesome, vibrant and most of all fun evening, there were plenty of snacks and drinks, very good music and besides the presentation of the new ECCO collection, our readers where treated to a MAC make-up stand, a photo-booth, a styling stand, a DIY stand and even a Aveda Day Spa and of course everyone ended up going home with a very filled goodie bag ;)

I really hope this evening was one of many events to come hosted by us!

Big Thanks to everyone who was there and made for such a wonderful evening, ECCO, NSMBL, THIS CHICKS GOT STYLE, Comeovertothedarksidewehavecandy and BILLY ROSE!

Sofitel New York

Standing outside the Sofitel Hotel on our last day in New York, just before heading out on our "last" shopping spree which ended up being an adventure (all adventure creds go to Yara!)

Since it was still quite hot and we had a lot of walking to do I was wearing my (new) sheinside navy blue dress with Zara velvet loafers, kind of an easy look :)

We were so lucky to be invited to stay at the Sofitel Hotel, based in Midtown Manhattan, a very short walk from Bryant Park and Times Square, the location and Hotel couldn't be more perfect! 

I always pay attention to locations for the sake of the trains/subway when staying in New York, especially during fashion week. Around this area you can find almost all the trains you need to go quickly uptown, downtown to the meatpacking district or east!

The Hotel was amazing, really one of the best Hotels I have stayed so far! The room was perfect for the two of us staying together!





Yara's look! I'm so in love with her leather shorts and studded loafers and hemmmm yes, the bag! Yara was also the best Fashion Week Companion ever haha, I don't think I have ever laughed so much! I can still feel my abs!





After taking these photo's we went shopping (the most funny shopping spree ever) 

It was Epic Yara day; Yara who got a ring stuck on her finger in a store that she couldn't get off making the most funny faces, Yara who lost her camera bag, Yara running around loosing her shoe, Yara running back again, Yara who found her Camera bag again, only to name a few Yara moments and all in just a few hours ^_^ Loved it :) We had some really great laughs! I guess I particularly loved it since its normal me who runs around like a mad woman loosing everything ^_^

Some photos in "our" room, clothing (sheinside dress) and yes, shoes stalled out!

All in all I had such a great time with Yara staying in New york and the Sofitel Hotel and I can't wait for the next NYFW!
