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)

6) Watercolor Glitter Illustrations

Another brilliant glitter tutorial, this one by Paper Fashion for those of us who love to draw! I also really love this tutorial because its not only perfect for illustrators and artists but for applying this to notes, cards and letters as well!

7) DIY Glittered Wine Bottles

Not only jam jars can be transformed into glittery pieces, wine bottles too! Just such a spark of pleasure and no need to say; a good reason to finish off that bottle of wine ;)

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!
