Kitchens on Wheels

Yesterday we went to "Rollende Keukens" which is a food festival with kitchens on wheels. There are different cuisine's, coffee specialists, creperies, tapas bars, a foodies heaven! Also awesome live music and a great atmosphere. It runs till Sunday may 12th, so if you are in Amsterdam it's definitely worth to go there, and remember; Don't eat before you go!

 I believe they serve horse burgers here.... which is the new meat just ask UFC fighter Alistair Overeem. The cutest little Italian coffee car-bar on the picture below.

 Stylish details....

Get Crafty This Weekend

 After yesterdays post I wanted to share a little of my jewelry making tips. Above you see my latest creations of necklaces and bracelets. below you see how it usually starts off (one big pile of crafties). I like to get all of it out so I can see what I have and see which colors or textures fit nice together and ofcourse I like to clash colors; neons with black and whites, opposites attract instead of keeping it safe in the same color pallet.

 The first and third necklace (see pictures above) I braided. The first was braided, including the bolts as you go along. 

With the second necklace I wrapped multiple ropes together.

*Tip; Stick your rope down with washi tape

 If wrapping other twine or so around the rope, secure it by melting the ends or by superglueing them. 

(superglue = my friend)

Last step is to attach a clasp (use your pliers for this) 

*Tip; find clasps at a arts & crafts store or reuse one from an old necklace!

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

Aztec Print & Western Jewels

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!

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!
