CREATURE OF THE NIGHT

'Nekromantik' by Polish fashion designer Katarzyna Konieczka
Inspired by Frankenstein and his creations.

Found these images a while ago during research for school but they keep capturing my interest. They kind of remind me of horror and slaughter movies, but because the pictures and models are so delicate, there is a weird contrast. I adore the creepy, yet fairytale-like feeling that these pictures bring.

DECEMBER

Bonjour my lovely readers,

It's already halfway December and that not only means Christmas in a week, but also the end of a very hectic period for me. Deadlines for school, exams, lots of meetings, driving exam, name it. Thank god I passed everything school-wise, so I don't have to worry about any of those things doing the holiday break.

Next week there are only two days of school scheduled on my timetable and after wednesday, my break starts. More time to do some fun stuff, and most importantly, more time to blog. It is a bit quiet these days on here and I am planning to change that. After this first half year of fashion school I started discovering more and more about fashion and blogs and I really miss the days were I blogged almost 3 times a week.

Out now for Christmas tree shopping in town!


See you all soon and thank you so much for following, because I reached 50 followers last week!

Gorgeous underwater photography. I love how the fabrics move under water, it's breathtaking.
Found these on one of my long searches on the internet for my inspiration book for school on the trendhunter website.

This week was heaven compared to last week. Last monday was the big day for my first assignement to be hand in and the fashion show for our prototypes (pictures are coming soon). Last weekend was a very stressful weekend with just a few hours of sleep to finish everything. Luckily everything worked out fine and I passed! The fashion show was a lot of fun and school in general is lovely, although it is also hard work, but my classmates, the lessons and just being around fashion all the time make it so much fun. Last few days I went out for dinner and drinks to celebrate the good marks for my assignement, met up with a few friends, did some serious shopping and I got a haircut!

Today there was a museum trip to Utrecht, to see the Iris van Herpen exhibition with my friend Loes. It was pretty cool, although unfortunately there weren't a lot dresses made by her and it was a bit small. The weather is not really making things any better this weekend either.

Tomorrow starts my next semester already, how time flies.

see you soon.

SCHOOL

Tomorrow starts my fourth week at Amsterdam Fashion Institute, how time flies!
School is a lot of fun and I am pretty sure it is the place for me, but it's also a lot of work. Still, my homework is pretty amazing, making dresses, drawing, making a fashion diary, collecting different types of fabric and more. Just being in Amsterdam and going to a fashion school there is a dream come true and I am looking forward to everything what this school will bring me in the future.

For now here is one of the outfits I choose for my fashion diary for one of my courses.

ORIENTAL

A 3 week travel across Thailand.

Not only are the people welcoming and really nice, the food is delicious and there is so much to see and to experience, Thailand is most of all a photographers paradise.



It was absolutely one of the most amazing and impressive experiences of my life and the things I have seen and done are just too much to sum up. Some highlights for me were the visit to the Elephant Hospital, a hiking tour in the jungle, a thrilling ride on the back of an elephant in the rainforest, off-road quad riding in the mountains and taste the amazing food in the many streets of all the places we visit.

Other stories to tell in the past three months:

- I got in the school I applied for! Two weeks from now I start at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, Fashion & Design.

- I turned 19 two weeks ago and I celebrated it with my family and friends in Thailand. The staff of the hotel we stayed in was super nice and got me cake and decorations.

- I went to Pinkpop with my friend Mirthe and it was a real last-minute decision, but we had so much fun and the music was awesome.





see you all soon.

ALIVE

Yes, I am still alive, the last month was crazy and a lot of work for admissions for new art schools, but at the moment there is more time to sit back and relax and do fun stuff.

These two pictures I took a couple of weeks ago. I made both the dress and the skirt in the upper picture and styled it with some other items. Huge thanks to Julie for modelling.

Hope to see you soon and new followers, thank you!

TODAY

Today I stayed home from school to work on an application for AMFI, the school I would like to go to and just relax and have some 'me-time'. Also came up with this outfit, featuring lots of new items from Dubai and a short shopping trip with my mother the other day.

PRINTS

The new year is already full in motion, and for me the first few weeks were extremely busy and filled with all kind of different events. Birthday parties, school assignments, a new job, interview at a new art academy, driving lessons and much more. Luckily the next couple of weeks are a lot more quite and in a week I am going to visit Dubai with my family for a week, so there is time to relax now. Hope to get some more blogging done too, because I still love it and my blog.

See you soon
