Roaring Twenties

On New Year's Eve I am spending my night on a "roaring 20s" theme party.  I never had a party with this theme before so I was forced to go shopping for a new outfit. Keywords in my search were art deco, feathers, pearls, fringes and of course the Great Gatsby. I finally bought myself a black fringes dress at h&m with some gold and silver mixed long earrings. I will mix it with my fur coat to finish it up.

Have a sequin Christmas

It is almost Christmas and that means it was time to buy a Christmas outfit. I went to the Nine Streets to search for something crazy and original and found this hysterical vintage sequin top. What I like the most are the shoulder pads knitted inside, it makes your silhouette so 80s! Not yet sure wheter to wear it with my new waxed black denim from H&M or a black dress underneath it. One thing is for sure, I will wear it with my biker boots to spice it up and make it edgy instead of girly. What are your Christmas outfits?

Bio Business

At Saturdays I love to walk around on markets. At the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam there is a biological fresh market every Saturday. It is a small but good market and my favourite stall is the one with all different kinds of edible mushrooms. It sells nothing else but mushrooms! Also, there is a bakery called le perron and I am crazy about the bread with figs and gorgonzola in it. A teriffic combination. See and get bio-inspired!

Bloggers & Books

Although I love to browse all kinds of fashion and interior blogs, I sometimes miss the charm of turning the pages of a book. I therefore visited this great bookshop in the Nine Streets called Mendo. It is a great bookshop which is specialized in creative books in fashion, architecture, photography and design. I found the book of the blog The Selby in here, which "offers an insider’s view of creative individuals in their personal space". It is a great coffee table book. And it has stickers on the inside!


The author has added stickers in his book as a funny detail!

Feathers

I love feathers, especially in my oufit. And I like to mix prints. So here is my outfit for today.

 

De Weldaad

My mother was visiting me in Amsterdam and we made her visit a lovely day by browsing The Nine Streets (9 straatjes). We went to this interior shop called De Weldaad where they have antique, architectural artefacts and country style furniture that is beautiful in a different way. I was surprised with the old tiles. I think that it would look great to mix a few old tiles and vintage items in a more modern interior. Although my style of interior is way different, it was very inspiring anyway.  I will post more on my findings in The Nine Streets during the weekend.
