Presents

Ph, Private

A few of the many (!) gifts I got this Christmas. I already mentioned them yesterday, but here are some photos. I'm of course really happy with everything I've got, so here is just a random selection of what I'm showing you. How amazing is the velvet texture on the scarf and in such a lovely blue and grey colors, this scarf became an instant favorite. Love the woolen vest a lot as well. It's just that I'm thinking about changing the fake leather trimmings for real leather ones, to make it even more perfect.

My Christmas look. I will show more photos of the Christmas days soon. But I wanted to share my new outfit I wore in the first day of Christmas. Had dinner with my boyfriends family and of course followed by unwrapping the presents in front of the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve we already had our presents at my parents place. I've got a lot of amazing stuff, like the newest Acne paper, this woolen vest from Maison Scotch, photo films for my old camera, Douglas gift card, perfume, an velvet/lace blend scarf and many more. How was your Christmas?

Saffran jumper

Ph, Private

Jacket: Vintage | Jumper: Thrifted | Leather skirt: Thrifted | Boots: Shabbies | Necklace: Selfmade | Belt: Thrifted

What I was wearing today. Love this jumper, although I don't wear it often. The fabric is quite delicate and I'm afraid it will get damaged easily. This jacket is another item I don't wear that much. It's an amazing vintage, probably 1910s, jacket in Belle Epoque style. It has beautiful laced/beaded cuffs and hemline. What are your holiday plans?

Ellery Fall 2013

Ph, Ellery

Love the Australian label Ellery a lot. This collection is even more rad than usual. It's the newest Fall 2013 collection but I think a lot of it is more acceptable for European springtime. I'm not really a wearer of short skirts, that is without black tights, but I like these dresses a lot. Love the combination of crispy white with off-white as well. What do you think of the items?

Wishlist

1. Leather wallet  - 2. Wool jumper - 3. Silver watch - 4. Chelsea boots  

5. Leopard trousers - 6. Silk top - 7. Black skirt - 8. Leopard sleeved shirt 

As you probable have seen, I always keep a wishlist updated on the sidebar. This is what it visually looks like. A lot black basics but the leopard pieces aren't only great in combination with black and silver, I would also love to wear them together or with jeans like these. I'm already imagining that my parents, brothers, boyfriend and so on have seen my wishlist as well and that maybe I can expect something for Christmas. Just wishful thinking, I wouldn't mind getting some of above showed items.

What would you like to find underneath the Christmas tree?

Coat: Etoile Isabel Marant | Sweat: Won Hundred | Jeans: Acne | Booties: Supertrash | Scarf: Asos

Yeah, That's is Mart my boyfriend and usual photographer. I'm not sure why I'm pulling a face like that,  I'm probably totally delighted with our face contact ;). Sunday morning we went with Marts brother and sister to Sonsbeek park to shoot some photos for my Christmas presents. I decided to give my parents in law photo updates of their three children as a present, because the old ones are.. well, old haha.

I have two major exams this week so I still won't be really productive, but after Thursday my Christmas holidays start so I will have a lot of spare time. I'm going to hunt for blog inspiration, so feel free to leave you link in the comments below and I will check it out around next weekend.

Acne Flex jeans ss 2013

Ph, Acne

They are back, the Acne Flex jeans. Last summer I bought a pair of Acne Flex jeans, love the slightly higher fit. Acne calls it 'Mid Rise': a narrow, tight fitting jeans.  I wanted to buy another pair during this winter, but unfortunately the model wasn't part of the collection. So I'm really happy to tell you that they are back for this summer, you can pick yours out of nine different styles. These are my favorites: the grayish Pavement - the s Wet Black - the clear blue Marine - the Raw. Which one is your favorite?

Detailed inspiration

Amazing beaded dresses. I can really appreciate handwork like in the case with these pretty dresses. Have a nice weekend!

Chanel pre fall 2013

Ph, Style

Everyone knows that when a Chanel collection is presented, we can expect anything. I always have the highest expectations, because I really like the aesthetic of his collections. This pre-fall collection is titled ''Cruel Romance''. The collection is inspired by the Queen of Scots, Mary, half-sister of Elizabeth. The collection was shown in the place were Mary was born and also spent her childhood. As you can see for yourself, the whole collection is inspired by the sixteenth century style and I love it!

Yup, I'm aware of the fact that all my blogposts recently seem to start with a C.
