EN ÉTÉ

As if time was nothing, the last few months flew by. I spend a couple weeks in lovely Italy for some resting, wandering around in Rome, visiting adorable seatowns and eating yummy food. Finished my first year design at AMFI in july and in one week I will start with a new adventure, going to the second year fashion and branding. A switch, but such a good decision and a relieve. Can't wait to start with something new and refreshing. I missed it here, so expect some more of these coming up in the next few weeks.

For now, goodbye.

NEON

Photography - Alexander Binder

Found this photographer in an amazing photography magazine, called GUP (Guide to Unique Photography) and instantly fell in love with his work. I adore the mysterious, scary and mythical atmosphere in his pictures and how he works with the different neon colours mixed with the blurry and vague images. I definitely recommend checking out all his work at his website www.alexanderbinder.de.

See you all soon with other news, fashion and more, hectic times at the moment!

CREATIVE BUBBLE

Last weekend I spend walking around in Antwerp with one of my best friends. Unfortunately I didn't take a lot of pictures but I had a lot of fun, shopping (Urban Outfitters on the pictures!), drinking coffee, eating amazing chocolate and singing at a karaoke bar. Got this wonderful skirt at Forever 21, it was love at first sight. Lately I start to collect more and more items from Forever 21, they have some really cool clothes for low prices. The week off was actually lovely, had some time to meet up with friends and did a lot of driving, because I finally passed for my driver's license! (ps. welcome in my room! this is where all my crazy ideas come into existance and where I create everything, also the dress on the fitting doll!)

COLOURS

Normally I like to wear a lot of black and grey, but this dress is an exception. Especially with the grey and sober weather today, this is the perfect dress to ignore the rain. It makes me so happy and cheerful, and I adore the flowers and the different colours in the print. I got it at Topshop last summer and although it is more a summer dress, I just like to wear it all year round now.

This week is actually rather quiet, mainly worked on school assignments and went to dinner with two lovely friends in the city on Valentine's Day at Wagamama. Next week is my last week before a short holiday break for a week and I am really excited for that, because I am going to visit Antwerp and maybe even Paris too, who knows!

see you all soon,

SOMEWHERE

A night out in town.

Last week I officially completed the first half year of school, which means I am starting with the new semester tomorrow! I am really exicted, because I can finally start with my own course, Fashion & Design, but on the other hand, I am going to miss my classmates so much. The last half year was a lot of fun, I met a bunch of lovely people and they became some of my best friends. The next semester is in our original mentor classes and I am lucky to have another amazing class, but some of my closest friends unfortunately are in other classes now.

Although, I am starting with some great subjects, like pattern drawing, technical and model drawing, fabrics research and sewing technique. And I am going to start making my own small collection, so that should be really exciting! Having the best time at school, it's slowly starting to hit in, my dream comes closer and closer every semester.


See you soon,

TEXTURES&THINGS

The details in different types of fabrics are really inspiring and interesting. It is amazing to see how textures look so close-up and how many difference there is in fabrics.

SILVER

Hello, hello, lovely readers,

Here a brand new outfit. After the crazy busy times at school, I decided it was the time to give myself some presents in the form of some extremely reduced fashion items. Got this sweater, this necklace, some lovely brown boots and a gorgeous jacket with leather sleeves in the sale for half of the original price. Score! My last deadline for the first semester was on monday and I passed the assignement stylebook, thank god. In two weeks I have another big assessment, but hopefully that will go just fine, so I can start of fresh and energized with my second semester.

They always say, time flies when you are having fun and that sure counts for me ever since I started at Amsterdam Fashion Institute. The classes, the school, my friends, I am really enjoying myself and I know I have found the perfect place for me. Off now to do some serious 'cleaning out my closet' to make more room for the new stuff!


See you soon!
