Up Side Down - Down Side Up

The Denim Shirt has been around for a few seasons now, because it is so versatile. If you do not own one yet, go get yourself one now! It is like wearing a pair of jeans with a cute print top, but then your wearing a denim top and can wear anything; cute, printed, shorts or long skirts at the bottom.

Black 'n White Crop Top

 I have been collecting ropes, string and other materials that I'm attracted to over the past few months and I have never actually done anything with them until this necklace. Rope items are this springs and summers hottest accessories and it is really cool to be able to say; "I did it myself".

Get inspired this weekend and make your own rope necklace!

Layering Jackets

I have been into layering my jackets. The top, wool-like oversized blazer is not warm at all (it does not have lining), but paired with a little leather jacket, it keep warm just fine. I like to peek out the sleeves and the collar of the leather jacker, it's allowed to show your layers.

Safari Style

We have seen leopard print and we have seen snake skin print, but hold your horses because you will see lots of zebra print. Coming spring will be all about black and white, the graphic print, the stripes and of course the animal print a.k.a. Zebra.

A fun way of wearing this print is; with chunky jewelry made from natural elements.

Graphic Black 'n White

A trend you will be seeing a lot come spring is graphic black and white print. Pair this trend with pops of neon for playful look or metallics for a more chic look.

Fall Layering; Hot Pink, Burgundy and Leopard

I like experimenting with textures, prints and above all, colors. It's the perfect season for experimenting (with all the above) because it's layer season!

So hereby I layer, Burgundy cords, with a hot pink chunky cable knit and just a peek-a-booh of black 'n white leopard print. Tie it all together with metallic flats and a deep purple nail lacquer.

Chanellow!

I have been Chanel-schooled. s of today I start working for Chanel, to promote their new fragrance Coco Noir and their new make-up line Rouge Allure. 

When I entered the training room, I was in awe. We got greeted by our trainer and Chanel ambassador. After we took a seat in velvety gold chairs at a pearly with gold trim table. 

It was so interesting learning about how the perfume is made at their own plant and laboratory. Learning about the exact ingredients and learning how to smell a scent.

and testers to learn the distinguishing difference between the perfumes
