it indeed has been way too long since my last post, I've been really busy with school and everything (I know, lame excuse). 

I didn't even share the wonderful fact that I now own my own driver license! I'm so happy with it, seriously there hasn't been one day since I own it that I didn't go for a drive! little bit insane but it feels so good. 

and on top of the cake I bought a new phone today, for me that's the first time since 4/5 years! I don't really care how my phone looks like, but since my old is breaking down piece by piece I got this one

LG KS360 Black/Silver

and I love the look of it, stylish don't you think? 

blog of good thoughts

lets have a good start of the week with a list of good thoughts, obvious thoughts, but sometimes you just need to be remembered

1. Live everyday like it is your last
   
2. Get inspired by the world surrounding you
   
3. 'A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes' Vera Wang
   
4. Feel free to express yourself in every way
   
5. 'To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment' Ralph Waldo Emerson
   
6. Live high, live might, might high! Jason Mraz
   

secretly I'm hoping it will help me not to get too nervous for my driving exam this Thursday

wreck my journal

the first pics of my wrecking

happy newyear!

may you be blessed with lots of love and inspiration to live your dreams this new year!

here are some pictures from the exhibition of maison martin margiela '20' in the Antwerp fashion museum I visited yesterday, an exhibition because of the 2o- anniversary of the label.

martin margiela is especially known for his use of second-hand materials or materials with low commercial value. early on in his career he decided not to go public as a designer and to let his designs speak for itself. his choice for anonymity became an important element of the label, this is also used in the presentations of his collections. take a look:

fall/winter 2002-2003 coat made of two secondhand fur coats

XXXL - The Maison used a different standardized body than we are used to in fashion in several collections. 

This XXXL over sized dress is an example from spring/summer 2009

Printed clothing in which each piece is printed with a photo of another garment, which for example originally is made from a total different fabric.The pieces at the picture are from the spring/summer 1996 collection.

Maison Martin Margiela: 'we have always enjoyed the challenge of reworking existing clothes, fabrics and objects to create new garments and accessories. this challenge is linked to finding a new role and force for these materials, revisiting their structure and use.'

since fall/winter 1994-1995s collection, maison martin margiela presents a new t-shirt from which all the revenue goes to helping aids. the t-shirt is always printed with the text: 'there is more action to be done to fight aids than to wear this t-shirt but it's a good start', not necessarily directly visible. 

last day of the winter break already, back to real life by tomorrow. 

merry christmas

I enjoyed celebrating Christmas eve last night at grandma's place with my family. These were some presents I got, with which I am really happy!

Influence written by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, I like their style a lot, so as soon as I heard they wrote a book with all their inspirations it was top one priority on my Christmas wish list.

accidentally

I fell in love with my new and first wedges. pure love. The first thing you've got to know is that my favourite colour used to be brown, a lot of brown. But today I'm totally into grey. And I like to mix structures/fabrics. So this beautiful pair of shoes is in one word perfect!

Zara €59.90

These shoes were accidentally because actually I needed new boots for the winter, but I couldn't resist. And I was on a die hard shopping tour. Not that I did buy very much, but we've seen lot of clothes. I also bought a new blazer from the mango and some basics from the h&m sales. 

all sorts of tea, high tea

Zeldzaam eten en drinken, Jansplaats 13a, Arnhem

I went together with Annick and I had given a high tea for her birthday, which we went to during all the shopping, in Arnhem. It was delicious! we could choose any sort of tea and got mini sandwiches, scones, chocolate cake, bonbons, cookies and more. definitely recommended.
