Suiting it up?!

Women in suits... Isn't there anything more classy than that? I've always loved women with an androgynous look. And at the moment I'm looking for that perfect suit, because I'll hopefully  graduate in June. So, right now I'll share my inspiration and my (current) favourites. I've gotta tell you that this is just a few of the items I like.


I get allot of my inspiration of street style blogs. These pictures were found on the website of The Street Fashion Monitor. These pictures caption the three things I want my future suit to have or look like: matching blazer and trousers, jewellery as accessory and flat shoes.

Blazers. Blazers. Blazers. I just couldn't find a complete suit. So, I'll just share my favourite blazers. As you probably already noticed there are three blazers of Balmain. Those definitely are the one I like most. Especially the long velvet tuxedo jacket (the second from the left)... Velvet is a fabric I adore: it can soften every outfit. Even a biker jacket with spikes on the shoulders can look cuddly when wearing a velvet dress.


 My favourite part of every outfit: a bag! I've got a lot of issues when choosing one bag... I mean: "I just can't pick one, and leave the rest." Although, I can pick a favourite from this collage: the shoulder bags of Christian Louboutin. You can change the straps, which allows you to change its look in a instant. "These bags give a language to the upper body; they allow a woman to play with her shoulders," says Louboutin. "Her attitude will shift with each style, just like it does when she changes pumps."

As a huge fan of flats, I've made a collage containing flat shoes in particular. I love high heels too, but I'd rather wear flats. I've chosen for loafers, oxfords and bragues. I prefer shoes with bright colours or which are "over-accessorized".  Those can give your outfit an eccentric, yet classy look. It's hard to just chose one as my favourite... The ones I like allot (in random order): Charlotte Olympia kitty embroided calf hair flats, Marni tie front oxfords and Valentino chrystal-studded suede loafers.


Accessorizing is a difficult thing to do. Because you can over-accessorize easily. But they can make or break an outfit too: they give an extra touch. Make sure your accessories complete your look, and make it look more sophisticated. Personally, I like keeping it a little bit down with accessorizing. On special occasions I certainly  like wearing them, but my outfits aren't created around the earrings or necklace I'm wearing. Accessories with great details are the ones I really like, I even love those. Such as the DANNIJO symsom bracelet (the bottom right), the Isharya gold-plated cubic zirconia and enamel feather ring and the Isabel Marant stars light cuff (the top right). Imperial green, as some of you already know, my favourite colour. This colour combined with gold, just looks divine. As seen on the Michael Kors emerald-cut chunky bracelet (the middle right), Aurélie Bidermann feather clip-on drop earrings (the middle right) and Kara by Kara Ross scarab cuff with lizard and malachite.

Felicity Jones in Dolce & Gabbana (Exams are over)

First of all, I'd like to say that my exams are over. They're completely done. Yet, I can't wait to get my rapport card. I'm way too curious about my results. But let's stop talking about school and continue with my love for fashion. Felicity Jones, my favourite actress with a natural look. In the December issue of Yo Dona she shines in the cover shoot. As the face of Dolce & Gabbana's Animalier Collection she wears all the looks of the collection. I'm a true fan of this collection. Especially the details, I'm a person who pays allot of attention to that. And these details are so beautiful, they really are an extra value to the designs.  To be honest, there truly was no need of a background. Because of Felicty's flawless looks and the amazing designs of Dolce & Gabbana a simple white wall was more than sufficient.

История игрушек (Toy Story)

Not posting for such a long time... I'm just too busy with school, homework etc. And in about one week my exams will start. That calls for a little preparation, but I'll just keep it with ordering my notes and checking whether I didn't forget something. Besides that, I'll treat you with the cutest and one of the most beautiful photo shoots I've ever seen. I found this one the website of Vogue Russia (my favourite edition of Vogue). In this shoot, sixteen toys will be shown that were designed by several Russian designers. These toys will be auctioned on the 3th of December. This auction will fund Natalia Vodianova's the Naked Heart Foundation which helps disadvantaged children living in urban Russia.

NECK DECORATION

Een mooie blouse is nooit mis, en vind je ook altijd wel terug in de klerenkast van elke vrouw. Dit seizoen zal je ook heel wat transparante blouses zien, die zijn helemaal "in style". Maar dan wil je wat extra's aan je blouse toevoegen? Decoreer de kraag dan! Dit is echt iets wat je meer en meer begint te zien, gedecoreerde kraagjes. Ik ben er dan ook helemaal gek op! Ik zag ze voor het eerst bij Miu Miu in hun lentecollectie van 2010, maar ze beginnen nu pas een heuse trend te worden. Je kan je kraag ook zelf bewerken met wat naald en draad of lijm (wel speciale lijm voor kleding). Zo kan je er wat parels op naaien, of er gewoon wat studs op plakken. Je kan het ook wat moeilijker doen door er lovertjes op te naaien, enkel en alleen als je heel handig bent met naald en draad. Natuurlijk kan je het ook gewoon houden bij wat er in de winkel te kopen valt.  Hieronder zie je alvast wat kraagjes waar ik helemaal weg van ben.

You can never go wrong with a nice blouse, and you'll always find one in every woman's closet. This season you'll see lots of transparant blouses, these are totally "in style". But what to do if you want to add something extra to your blouse? Decorate it! It's something that you keep on seeing more and more, decorated collars. I really love them! I first saw them at Miu Miu's Spring 2010 Collection, but they've just started becoming a true trend. You can decorate it yourself with needle and thread or glue (do mind to use special clothing glue). You could sew some pearls on it, or just glue some studs on it. You can do it a bit more difficult by sewing some sequins on it, but that's only the case if you're very handy with needle and thread. Of course you can just keep it simple by buying it at the store. Below you can see some collars I really LOVE.
