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!

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!

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...

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??

Happy Sunday

A breakfast yogurt with hemp and chia seeds, fresh blood orange and mango juice. 

blood orange is a good change from regular orange or grapefruit. I got mine from a Farmers market last weekend, they are winter fruits so almost out of season (get your hands on 'em while you can!). 

Since becoming a pescatarian I have also been into discovering different foods and "super foods". 

Hemp and chia seeds add great nutritional values to your daily meals. For example, hemp is high in protein and chia seeds can be used to substitute butter in any baking recipe as well! 

I'm off to a yoga detox class! 

Happy Sunday!

5 Trends for Spring I'm Lovin'

One again we get to release out inner cave woman (in a chic way). This time around, wear your colored animal print with metallics and luxe fabrics such as silks, suede and organic cotton. 

Hello 90's! The era of Nirvana is back and I'm loving it! Wear floral print mixed with plaid. A little baggy over sized sweater, lots of layering and round sunnies to top it off.

Who said Palm Springs is for elderly and retirement homes? Love the vibrant colors and prints. 

A little darker feel to the typical hippy boho, yet more chic. Think; Leathers, Lace and Fringe and complete the look with a bucket bag.

Remember Twiggy? Now think a modern her! bright colors, boxy cuts and a-line clothes.

Okay spring, we are ready for you! come out, come out wherever you are!
