Happy Birthday...

to me...

I had a wonderful relaxed afternoon, I spoiled myself a little and got spoiled by others a little a lot as well :)

I treated myself to a cupcake from a fellow Island girl who recently opened her own (and first in Amsterdam) cupcake store. Check out Van Ness Cupcakes Facebook page "here" and if your ever in Amsterdam, make sure you try those amazing cupcakes!! (no need for a bday excuse;)

Today's outfit; Brick, Stripes and Converse

I'm loving my rusty/brick colored pants (last years, but totally rediscovered!).

Outfit Post; Colors of fall...

The leather sleeves on the shirt, I did myself using "this method" which I had posted before. Also the clutch, I made myself (these things I can do in my sleep by now). 

I love the cobalt blue color, I love the burgundy and I love the olive green... 

Definitely my colors for fall

Happy Fall!

2-ways to up-do a white shirt

I love, love, love "the button down" it is such a versatile piece and everybody should have one. May it be any color or just plain white. Check your boyfriend, dad or brothers closet and you must find one... if not get a great sheer button-down (Zara and Mango have great ones this season).

What I did to simply style it up is;

1. Get 1 meter of (velvet) ribbon or lace (at any fabric or craft store)

2. Simply tie it either in a bow (shirt buttoned all the way up)

3. Or go for a more laid back vibe with one button undone and a simple "tie" style.

What do you think?

Sunny Fall Weather = Pop of Color

Last Sunday started off as a sunny fall day. I thought I'd wear a pop of neon pink on this cold yet sunny day. Chunky knits are becoming my best friends right around this time...

What's for lunch? - Fig Crostini

What I love about seasons changing, is the different fruits and vegetables. Not just fashion changes with seasons, but also my menus. What's for lunch at Breakfast at Fayme's? 

Fig Crostini's!

Cut the fig in thin slices...

Spread some nutty cheese on toasted rustic bread...

Top the toasts with the sliced figs...

Drizzle with honey...

Et Voila! Bon Appetit!
