Minty Aztec Chips

As the days get longer and the hope for actual spring is coming closer, I decided to wear an open woven knit giving enough coverage and warmth in these yet cold days. However the  pastel-y color is so spring, because we are so ready for it! 

Come on over spring!

Fashion Trend; Shark Infested Fashion

Sharks have been popping up on my fashion radar lately and I'm loving it! I love watching shark week on discovery, hearing about those shark attack survivor stories and who can't remember the movie jaws?? One thing you might not have known about me; I'm afraid of the ocean. There is something mysterious about it and you never know what could pop up from underneath you!

So I like to keep things where I can see them... Sharks belong on shirts!

1. Zara, 2. Forever 21, 3. H&M Men

Lace and Gingham

Happy Tuesday!

Hope you hd a good easter weekend. For easter brunch I paired gingham and lace, a good romance between spring and easter, if only it where true on the spring part...

However, slowly but surely temperatures are rising, the sun is out more often and the little spring flowers start to bloom!

Happy Easter Inspirations

 Easter is an excuse to eat, eat and eat some more.... for me it is really about spending time with family and friends (while eating). Last year we hosted 2 brunches (first and second day of easter) the year before that we had a lovely easter picnic in the park, this year we will probably end up brunching inside since it is still cold out! 

What will you be doing this easter?

Below I share some inspiration for an easter brunch!

1. Make fresh fruit mini pavlovas

2. Wrap your sandwiches nicely for a picnic

3. Serve fruit infused water

 4. Serve koffie in jars and have tulips (very Dutch, very spring)

5. Simply glue on sequins for chic egg decorations

 6. Have brunch outside (if the weather permits)

7. Chalkboard eggs for some fun interaction and craftiness 

 8. Bake with easter candies

9. Tie fresh herbs or flowers to an egg for a fresh original centerpiece

 10. Hide a sweet message in an egg for your loved ones

11. Use fresh fruit and pastel colored flowers for center piece

12. present your flowers in halved and decorated eggs in a egg carton

I hope you get to spend your easter with family or friends!

Happy easter!

Spring Trend; Middle Eastern Inspired

These items make me think of the alt of summer, maybe whilst vacationing in the middle east. exploring new territories. Or maybe just feel as if you are a worldly globe trotter in your own hometown.

Think mirrored details, tassels and pom-pons, interesting prints and woven fabrics. 

Get yourself one of these trending items to wear with a white tee and a pair of jeans and your ready to explore any part of town you haven't been in a while...

Let's go summer!

LPD All Year Round

 Like mentioned in yesterday's post, The Little Print Dress is very versatile and can be worn all year round. 

A easy layering staple; wear a button down denim shirt underneath for a preppy spring look with lady like flats.

Wear it with sandals and a vest for summer festivities.

For fall dress it up with brogues and a fuzzy sweater and for winter double up on the prints with playful polkadot tights and a belted faux fur vest to keep warm.
Have you found your LPD yet??
