Illustrated

   



After a couple of happy days with my family and friends, I am the lucky owner of three beautiful books.

The first own I got is called 'A year in fashion; a look a day'(what is pretty funny because my blog is called 'a day in fashion'). It's kind of a diary with a beautiful picture, a small note and some space to write yourself on every page.

The books I got from my aunt and my uncle are called 'In Vogue; the illustrated history of the world's most famous fashion magazine' and 'Alexander McQueen; Savage Beauty'. The photos in it are really breathtaking and I couldn't find the time to take a look at all the pages, so I know what to do the coming days!

I hope you all had great days.

Lots of love,

V.

All I want for Christmas is.. snow!

It´s only 2 days before Christmas Eve and year after year, my wish is to have a white Christmas. It may sound weird, but I just love the idea of it. It gives that perfect Christmas feeling and have you ever seen a Christmas movie without snow? Well, I never saw one! Although a white Christmas is very rare in the Netherlands, we had one last year and the year before. Before 2009, we had a 'green' Christmas for thirty years. Can you imagine? That must have been so depressing! Well, I hope this year will be our third white Christmas in a row. The snow will light up the streets in these dark winter evenings.

It's getting colder and colder and Christmas is only a few days away. December is definitely one of my favorite months!

Necklaces

Now I have plenty of time to clean up and redecorate my room, I could finally give my necklaces a place where they are all together in stead of throwing them everywhere in my room.

Ordered as I am, I put gold with gold, silver with silver, short with short etc. I just like to have my clothes and accessoires ordered, I can't help it..

A good necklace needs a good place to stay. :)

Winter is coming to town

Raggamuffin

Raggamuffin was my first meeting with the Belgian singer Selah Sue. And ever since I heard her singing, I am crazy about her.

Not only her voice is goddamn awesome, I also love her appearance. Her hair like candy, her perfect eyeliner and her petite figure makes me almost fall in love with her.

And ever since I started to play my guitar again, I am dying to learn one of her songs.

I am sure we'll hear more and more about her in the near future,

so be prepared.

Snake blazer SisterS Point, Floral blouse Zara

Normally, I am not really into colorful patterns, but lately I am crazy about snake and floral prints.

It also brings some kind of happiness into these dark December days. Exactly what I need.

I prefer it grey

Some people say to me: 'Why are your photos so blurry?'

A simple explanation for that is that I think that sometimes things are just more interesting if they're not black and white.

Things are not right or wrong, beautiful or ugly, good or bad. Everything is relative.

I just like my photos blurry.

Nothing in life is black and white.

'Therefore, I prefer to see things grey'.

Because we can't live without shoes..

What an awesome way to display your shoes!

I always find it difficult to find a good way to store my shoes, but this is a pretty good option if you have an empty wall.

 Because a woman can never ever have enough shoes.. :)

The vintage shirt

Shirt Vintage

A couple of weeks ago, I found this vintage shirt in a very cool vintage store in Amsterdam. I was crazy about the fact that it was so retro and I just love everything that has this color.

I would combine it with a jeans and gold jewelry to give it a more modern look.

I start to appreciate vintage more and more since I've been in a couple of really awesome vintage stores. I also found the coolest hairy jacket I every saw. It's so retro.

I still didn't had a change to wear this shirt, due to the fact that I bought it for my 18th birthday, but it's patiently waiting for me in my closet. :)

Get off that catwalk

If I am looking for some inspiration, I prefer to look at street shots rather than the catwalk. It's way more interesting to see what people do to make a look their own and not just wear a complete, unimaginative catwalk look.

I chose these shots because every look is great, due to their simplicity. Simple silhouettes and edgy accessoires together with some rockabilty; these girls rock the streets during the Fashion Weeks all over the world.
