Today’s Details
As always I was excited to receive a parcel from ASOS yesterday. This time it contained a set of 10 different sized rings that you can just stack your hands with. Paired with matte white nail polish I’d say it looks pretty good.

WHITE
My inspirations folder is full of the color white these days. The 90s vibe seems to be just as omnipresent. Here are some of my favorite examples in a collage. F R E S H, no?

Biggest Crush
It was love at first sight when I entered the Acne shop in Amsterdam today. Actually, I had already seen them online, but up close they are even more amazing: the Lila ankle boots. Lots of buckles, patent leather and a rubber sole. I’m in love. Now all I need is 540€..

Dreaming of Summer
I got my hopes up again. The weather has been teasing me the last couple of days and all I can do is think about the summer. Everyone is always telling me how great Amsterdam is when it’s warm and sunny and I can’t wait to experience it and wear all those crop tops I bought in anticipation.
Here is something I envision myself wearing this summer (in a perfect world). I must say I really love the result of the collaboration between Vans and Kenzo.

Where I live
I’ve been wanting to do a post like this for a while to show you some details of my room here in Amsterdam. So this is where I live:
I have always loves hatstands and when I moved in, this red one was standing in my room. The pink table is a new acquisition of mine. I bought it at Dom and it is super smart, as the top part is a tray that you can take off the stand. I call it my trayble.
In this photo you can see a couple of boxes that I really love. The one with the wooden bottom and the heavy glass lid is from Iittala and the one I use to keep my sunglasses in is from Muji.
This adorable chain of lights were a gift from my mom to lighten up my dark attic space.
This one hangs above my bed and matches a globe that I have on my nightstand. I don’t know what it is about maps but I just find them so beautiful.

New in..
Thanks to the sunshine, for the first time in months I went shopping. While I do love my online shopping it was nice to finally go outside and actually enjoy it. I can not wait for spring!
Here’s what I got: A t-shirt with a mesh detail on the sleeves from Monki, a suede jacket that fits me perfectly from Episode and a mesh bra from Weekday. I can’t get enough of mesh these days..

Busy me
Wow, so I realized that I haven’t posted a single thing on here since January. That’s not ok. But in my defense, I have been really busy at Amfi, learning how to design, construct and finish a garment. Still can’t believe I actually did it considering the sewing machine was a stranger to me until recently. If you’re interested to see it, check out this video – my design is worn by the third girl on the “runway”, aka our design class room.
After finishing this project, I had the so called midterm assessment, which I passed, allowing me to stay at the school.
1. semester: check.
Then, I couldn’t resist going back to Cologne to celebrate carnival. Here’s a photo of possibly my most successful costume to date:

#14
This was actually part of an assignment I had to do for fabric class – photograph an everyday outfit for uni and write about it. So I thought I might as well share it here. I’m wearing a paisley blouse from Zara, Weekday backpack, Asos boots (on sale now – I never learn my lesson, why do I always buy stuff right before it’s on sale?) and my new skinnies: blue jeans with a berry-colored coating.

Diary
The other day my boyfriend found this notebook called Fashionary, and flicking through it he knew I needed it and it would come in handy. When he showed it to me, I knew he was right and immediately purchased it.
It’s like a designer’s diary, packed with information about different types of clothing, a list of brands, a calendar and many other interesting features. Most of it though is for sketching designs so last tonight I decided to get my copic markers, and being freshly inspired by the Céline pre-fall 2013 collection, I started sketching away and this is what I ended up with..

#13 Walking Charlie
Here are some photos of yesterday, a beautiful sunny sunday in december. I took little Charlie for a walk – although I consider myself a cat person, it’s nice to pretend to be a dog owner sometimes. In the background you can see the trees sticking out of the flooded Rhine promenade in Cologne.
I am wearing my beloved coat from the vintage store Episode, denim from H&M, knit from 3suisses, ASOS boots and an angora hat from COS.
