#DidYouHear about Charlotte
Pretty cool that Maybelline chose a girl with hairy arm pits as their new face.. wonder if she’ll have to shave. This pink haired pretty face is a great choice, I’m intrigued. How do I know? Watch..

DIY: dipped in bleach
Dries van Noten S/S 2011
Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now is to bleach a pair of jeans in order to achieve an ombre look. I used DanKlorix as bleach – no need to mix it with water, since there is not much chlorine in it, so it can’t damage the fabric – and left the jeans hanging in it for about one hour in order to really get all the color out. And since it was so easy I did the same to a pair of shorts while I was at it.

summer à la coachella
God I’m SO jealous! Check out the photos of the Coachella festival happening now in California. The line-up is insane. The Black Keys, Radiohead, Dre and Snoop just to name a few and many many more. Plus, there are just as many celebrities visiting the festival as there are on stage. Though it’s not only the amazing concerts but the whole festival/summer feeling that I would want to be a part of right now. I CAN’T WAIT FOR SUMMER!!

new in
I found the most perfect little blouse in Antwerp. Spring has taken a break these days but as soon as it’s back I look forward to wearing my latest acquisition. I got it at New Look for 30€.

#7 – Laserblast
I spent a long weekend in Antwerp, the beautiful city in Belgium. Shopping here is great, unfortunately I didn’t have a lot of time, but I will come back, because there is still so much more to see.
I got the sunglasses and sweater here at Urban Outfitters, the clutch is from Zara, boots from Dinsko and finally the Replay Laserblast jeans in action.

new travel show formula
I don’t usually watch TV, but when I do, I like to watch the travel channel. But somehow, the shows on the travel channel are really outdated and they seem to be aimed at retired people who want to get out of the house rather than giving real insider tips for young travel-hungry people like me. So I was thrilled to discover this truly hilarious travel show that is hosted by this guy called Dex who hates tourists. He and his very very handsome co-host Fab travel to Europe’s hot spots to give us a glimpse of local culture, parties, chicks and douchebags, while being utterly funny. I love them. Go check it out. You can watch all episode here.

delivery
I’m so excited to collaborate with Fashiolista and Replay. Today I got mail from Milan and inside was the new Laserblast jeans, a jeans that is finished using a laser technology in order to save a lot of water, to be precise 85% less than a normal finishing process, which usually uses around 42 liters per pair. Plus they are super comfortable.
..And who doesn’t like a free pair of jeans?
Thank you goes to Fashiolista for choosing me and to Replay for the wonderful jeans.

Last sunday I had a successful day at the flea market where I sold a bunch of my stuff. The other girls there were selling quite a few goodies, for instance a two toned scarf from weekday, which I couldn’t resist.
What a beautiful day that was.
From head to toe: Hat from H&M, Weekday scarf, blazer and top both from Zara, Necklace from Fashionology, metallic satchel from ASOS, cheap monday jeans and glittery lace-up shoes from 3suisses.
And by the way, I’m glad to announce my first collaboration with Replay and Fashiolista. I’ll tell you all about it next week..

let’s pretend we’re surfing
This season is highly influenced by sports wear. And what better sport to draw inspiration from for a summer wardrobe than surfing? We saw how Givenchy interpreted the surfer for their S/S ’12 collection – shark tooth necklaces, shark skin for leather, underwater colors, a cool attitude. All in all monochrome outfits which looked amazing. But I’m also loving all the fun tropical prints that are popping up here and there (ASOS for instance, they call it the Waikiki Trend) and using neoprene for skirts instead of wet suits is brilliant.
Who doesn’t admire surfers? They seem to have no care in the world, they’re adventurous and cool. Good if we city gals can at least look a bit more like them.
The picture was taken by Max Doyle and shows Catherine McNeil. You can find it in the April issue of Vogue Australia.
