The coolest thing happened today: I got an e-mail informing me that I won a leather jacket from I Don’t Like Mondays. I had entered a contest on fashiolista a couple of weeks ago and they chose me! I’ve never won anything in my life!! Plus, I really need a leather jacket and I’m in no financial situation to buy one so this is too perfect.
This is it (jeez, almost 500 bucks!). Isn’t it preeeetty?

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.
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€.
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.
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..

Ripped jeans. They come and they go and right now, probably thanks to the advertising by Columbine wearing this season’s Acne ripped denim, they’re definitely back.
The thing is (and this is no new thought) – why would anybody spend money on torn jeans? I am very much into the distressed look and it is the easiest thing to do yourself. Or at least that’s what I had heard. So, I tried it.
This is what you will need: A denim garment of your choice, a pair of scissors and a paper clip or needle.
What you need to do is cut out parallel slits. The space in between the slits will determine the size of the torn section.
Using your clip you can start undoing the grid of the fabric by pulling the white horizontal threads.
Then, you will remove the darker vertical threads and ta-da!
It’s so easy I did the same thing to a pair of shorts..
This is my wish list for this season. Not like it’s ever going to happen, but a girl can dream.

We’re finally getting some love from the weather! This and the fact that my inspirations folder has gotten a lot fuller resulted in the need to share. The mood board is made from pictures I found on different tumblrs and blogs (fcknsweet, Jurgen Teller Tumblr, Because I’m Addicted, Studded Hearts) and it is influenced by the 90s, pastel colors and a little bit of danger, sex and “I don’t give a shit” I guess.
Oh, and can I just say how much I love pastel colored hair? I know, we’re seeing a lot of it online but not so much on the streets.. if I was blonde I’d do it in a heartbeat, but I’m not. So everyone who’s thinking about it please dye your hair and make my day!
This is part of what I was wearing today. T-shirt with Aztec print from Motel, chunky knit cardigan from h&m, the belt was my moms but now it’s mine and the black jeans is from Lindex. Spring is finally here!!
