Underneath it all

I have rediscovered my colored jeans and print pants this winter. For the passed 2 weeks it has been below 0 degrees here in Holland (thats quite unusual compared to the past few years) So wearing these bulky scarfs and coats all buttoned up doesn't make me happier either (well at least it keeps me warm). I have come up with the solution to wear lots of colorful jeans and printed pants since thats the only thing that peeps out underneath all those chunky warm clothes.

Gold Cuffed

Winter...aaawh...The season for the chunky knits. Accessorize your chunky knit with cuff bracelets cuffing your sleeves. This way you will show off your jewelry, they will keep your sleeves from rising (too much) and they will keep the cold from coming in ;)

DIY; Marc Jacobs Resort2013 Inspired Tee

As spring is creeping up on us all over town in all the stores... outside here in Holland it is far from it. These days snowy weather is upon us and it would be fun if your world stopped and you didn't have to get out of bed or go out on the streets, however I'm up early and out all day today. If your one of the lucky ones staying in today, a great way to do so is by crafting :)

So next time there is a snow storm on the horizon, get your craft supplies and stay in! 

What you need;

- Color Tee

- Sequin band

- Fabric glue

- Scissors

- Old magazine

Remember to put a magazine or paper between the shirt so the glue does not stick sides together. Then all you need to do is cut sequins to size and stick on with fabric glue...

Et Voila! Your DIY Mac Jacobs Resort2013 inspired Tee

Floral and Leopard

As always I try to come up with new ways to wear staples I have hanging in my closet already. I paired floral shorts with leopard print top and added pops of gold and neons to tie it all up. Just make sure your contrasting prints are in the same tones and colors or textures and fabrics.

Safari Style

We have seen leopard print and we have seen snake skin print, but hold your horses because you will see lots of zebra print. Coming spring will be all about black and white, the graphic print, the stripes and of course the animal print a.k.a. Zebra.

A fun way of wearing this print is; with chunky jewelry made from natural elements.

Graphic Black 'n White

A trend you will be seeing a lot come spring is graphic black and white print. Pair this trend with pops of neon for playful look or metallics for a more chic look.

Aztec Print & Western Jewels

After a few hot weather days and an 9hour plane ride back, I'm back in cold and grey Amsterdam. I'll be reminiscing the warmer days with the upcoming photos I took in Curaçao. You do not have to wait to wear the aztec print with western jewels, imagine a chunky aztec print knit with western jewels to wear this combo now!

Re-wear Your Sequin Holiday Dress

This holiday season "the sequin mini" was a big trend. I myself wore this number for new years eve (I did not even get to wear it out since  came down with a fever, oh well). As always I try to find ways to re-wear a dress so it does not just hang in the closet. 

To balance out the glam of this dress I paired it with short biker boots and a jeans vest to make it more tough than chic.

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!

Beetlejuice

Running some last minute errands before leaving this cold and grey Amsterdam. Might as well make the best of it by layering some of my faves.

Navy stripes and burgundy knit, embellished with my beetle.
