The Statement Earring

We all know about "The Statement Necklace" and "The Statement Ring, but now it's time for the  "The Statement Earring" to shine! An awesome way to pull big earrings off is by layering a laid-back look; I'm wearing my chunky knit with a peek-a-booh denim shirt.

Wear your hair up or in a low bun and just show 'em off!

Style Tips; Fall Trends 2012

I loved this video showing all the fall 2012 trends. From military looks to neo-goth and asian inspired. Materials like leather, preferably burgundy color or the "new black" and fur, fur, lots of fur (give me faux fur).

Take it all in because in a few weeks we'll be wearing this! and I can't wait for the layering to begin

Styling Tips; Transitioning to Fall

Slowly, but surely fashion is transitioning to fall. The latest collections in all stores are fall fashion. And even though it seams that the weather and myself are not quite ready yet for this transition, I am looking forward to layering, new color pallets and interesting fabrics and textures. 

Below some summer to fall styling :)

We've been blessed with some summer weather this week! I love it so, Amsterdam turns into a big happy city. People sitting anywhere and everywhere, along the canals on the side-walk and the park is crazy! As long as people soak up some sun rays, we will all be good!

Styling Tips; Jeans Dress

One of my favorite pieces to wear on my day off is a jeans dress. I have one that I have worn so often that I don't dare to wear it no more(one post "here" another "here"). But jeans dresses are so easy! Even though it is more of a casual piece, you could dress it up or down.

So which look will you rock this weekend??

Wear it with bold prints, platform heels and statement necklaces (my fav!)

Street Style; Queen's Day Style

Queens day in Amsterdam is one big party. Yesterday it was that time of the year again, everybody was out celebrating the Queens birthday. The national color of Holland is orange and thus is it a "must" to wear something orange on this day. Some people go all out or dress up silly, while others do it with style. I'm sharing some fashionable ladies who incorporated orange into their wardrobe on this special day.
