Show me your belly

Since almost all of my belonging are now in boxes, I have decided to take the rest of the night off to browse and read (I’ve fallen under the spell of Fifty Shades of Grey as well).

While browsing I found this picture that deserved to be mentioned on my blog. If you have the body and coolness to pull this look off, then please. Hanne Gaby Odiele sure does – I’m loving her in this tom boyish look. From the color palette to the cut of her boyfriend jeans, she is spot on with this outfit.

Takes some courage, but combined with a slouchy silhouette, a mute color palette and a cool attitude, I think it looks awesome. Do it, if you have the stomach for it..

Another good example of flashing some abdomens, without looking trashy:

Style Inspiration: The Ladies

Here are a couple of examples of what’s going on in my style inspiration folder.

1. I wonder who the ladies in this photograph are – they are the coolest clique I’ve ever seen. They’re like super heroes and they all have a specific super power. Running at the speed of light, flying, bringing the dead back to life and hypnosis. Please make them a cartoon!
2. I’m clearly not over the sporty look yet, especially in a sophisticated combination. And all white is SO good. Wonder if it gets to make the transition from summer to fall.
3. My love for transparent things continues as well, the voyeuristic part is very interesting, but normally the insides of a purse are not so glamorous.
4. Givenchy, is there really anything to add?
5. The bag. The metallic smudged denim. Sheer.
6. And here you can see my handbag crush: The Alexander Wang Diego. I found a similar one on Asos that’s on sale and I’m considering it, but with the move and starting school it’s not really a priority.. or is it?

blast from the past

I used to love these as a kid: jelly sandals.
At first I didn’t really know what to think when two of my currently most important style influences were wearing them (Ivania from Love Aesthetics paired them with ankle cuffs and the girls from Helen Glory wear their Juju’s with socks), but then I figured why not.. I love transparent things, rubber is such a cool material, as I recall they’re really cheap and you can wear them on the beach. I’m going to give them a try even though I’m pretty sure they will polarize. What do you guys think?

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!!

look.. Love Aesthetics

I would like to introduce you to a genius blogger called Ivania Carpio from Utrecht. I mentioned her in a post before, since she regularly comes up with brilliant ideas for DIYs. Her personal style feels very now, 90s inspired with a futuristic edge, yet it is totally unique and always consistent with her personal aesthetic. I am a little obsessed with her lavender hair. Anyway, see for yourself, I think she’s pretty damn great: love-aesthetics.blogspot.com.
