Laid Back Sequin

I love "The Sequin Tee", It's a new statement piece. After a long search for a good stripe sequined one, I scored this one at F21. However you could DIY one of course. 

Have you seen the Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 collection? If you have not, check it immediately "here"!

Breakfast at Fayme's; Most important meal

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.... To confess the truth, I skip it too often. When I do get the chance I like to spoil myself with a delicious breakfast, because it is my favorite meal time.

Make yourself a healthy, scrumptious breakfast this weekend, even if it's just by yourself.

Fall Layering

These faux leather leggings are one of the best things I recently purchased and guess what for the price of eight, yep 8, euro's (at Primark of course, I love that store!). First I wasn't too sure about it and why spend a ton of money on a fashion staple, however now that I love them so much I don't wanna wear anything else! What your best purchase lately?

Mixing Metals

Last Thursday I had a crafty date with some of my girlfriends, we spent all day together going past the bead stores in Amsterdam and finally going to my house to craft together the jewels we got. After that I  I was on a roll with making jewels. I made a variation of fine necklaces to be worn together or alone. Also some skinny rings and bracelets with pearls, coral and turquoise stone. 

If you never made any jewelry, it can be really easy and really fun, pass by a craft store and make yourself something fun this week!

Party Pants

I put on my party pants, since we were celebrating the album release of a friend last night. In a cozy little place called "G&T, a really, really nice place". We got a taste of the album by them playing some songs live.  It's a combination of latin and jazzy tunes, makes you think of Curaçao. You can find the album "here" on I-Tunes it is by Jean-Jacques Rojer, Le Trip.

Grunge Chic

I'm loving a good plaid shirt lately, you can often find a good plaid shirt in men's departments (that's where I scored this one). 

After wearing this plaid for the past few years, I decided it was time to change things up so I cut it into a cropped plaid and be-studded the shoulders. An easy 10 minute DIY anybody could try!

DIY; Chunky Pearl Necklace

 I got Inspired while "window shopping" on forever21.com so many different ones! (check below). Then I though; I can make that! so I gathered all sorts of old necklaced that have been put in my necklace coffin for now. It's really fun to reinvent your jewelry and actually wear it again.

Find the "how to" steps below...

Happy Crafting

1. Gather old jewelry, like; strands of pearls, chain and lace (get different sizes and shapes for extra dimension)

2. Hook the all together in one loop/eyelet (since it becomes a bulky collection, I used one link of a big chain)

3. Pull them straight and even out the length
4. Gather the strands into 3 groups and braid.

5. Loop them all together with another eyelet or link

Et Voila! your own DIY Chunky necklace
