This snap above from Lily and the Lady‘s New Girl inspired photo shoot is one of my favorite pictures for the site ever. I just love the positive energy. It’s happy, playful, classy and a little bit retro. Everything I want Lily and the lady to be. You can check out the full set of pics here.
For those of you living in Belgium, Lily and the Lady will be at this event on sunday, stop by if you’re in the neighborhood! We’d love to see you.
Salvatore Mi Amigo

Part of being a creative octopus is having to make choices. Combining blogging with my private/professional life hasn’t always been free from chaos. But when you get an invitation to the presentation of -Italian luxury brand- Salvatore Ferragamo’s Fall/Winter ’12-’13 collection, you tend to bend every muscle to move into the same direction. The direction vers l’hotel Amigo that is.
The Armand Blaton suite was turned into a luxurious showroom, one that could set even Blair Waldorf to tears of blatant joy. No wonder I caught myself staring in the mirror, dreaming of my very own penthouse overseeing nothing but city lights. Opening the doors of the Blaton-suite, discovering rooms filled with the finest Italian couture, felt like a wondrous guided tour through my own dreamworld. And that’s exactly what I love so dearly about fashion: no dream is ever too big.

I only recently discovered Free People through one of their beautiful catalogue images. There was an instant click and I started following them on all their social media platform of which my favorites are Instagram and Pinterest. I love their bohemian flair and the focus on festivals and on a free adventurous life. It might speak to my inner hippie or just to the fact that we are still young and shouldn’t forget that.

Even though the weather is only giving us a little bit of warmth, my craving for sunshine is constant. Wouldn’t you want to be able to wear this outfit?

Weekend Blog Awards Video
5 comments
On the magical night of the Weekend Blog Awards we got featured in a lovely video made by Felicity from Felicity Fashion. She interviewed all the nominees of the fashion blog category and when we ended up winning the award she approached us immediately. It’s actually a very nice video also featuring Tiany, Ruth, Kim and the other Kim. You’ll have to forgive us for being a bit shaky and very hyperactive. We got interviewed only seconds after we received the award. The video is in Dutch so you might not be able understand it, but we still wanted to share it. I hope you like it!

If the sun won’t come to me, I must come to the sun. Or in my mind at least. The hauntingly beautiful Crystal Renn stars in this fifties inspired editorial for Vogue Latin America’s May Issue. Think Elvis goes on a tropical roadtrip, but in 2012.
Crystal wears clothes from designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Christopher Kane and Jean Paul Gaultier. I’m totally digging the vibe. In my head, I’m already in a diner slurping a supersized coke somewhere by Route 66. Not to be disturbed.
Style Highlight: Kate Foley
6 comments
I’m still fully on the Weekend Blog Award high but it is time to get back to blogging business. Furthermore I wanted to share the terrific style of Kate Foley with you for some time now so I figured that this would be the perfect timing. You have actually seen this lady quite a few times on the site because she is the first one that ever got me into the dip dye trend and she has been a source of interior design inspiration.
I actually have Patricia to thank for discovering Kate Foley. She posted an article on the interior of this lovely lady’s home and since then I have been keeping an eye on her. Kate is a buyer for Opening Ceremony, one of my favorite brands, and has this intensely cool and confident style. She swears by white dresses that are both vintage and designer because it provides her with that instant feminine feel. Through all the controversy she is also hooked on wearing white socks in her in sandals, preferably the platform kind. The higher the better.
Her style however is not the only reason why I’m a fan of Kate. As a buyer and business women, she creates an impecable collection of brands at Opening Ceremony. She is a woman with a vision that works hard to reach her goals aka a perfect role model for young professionals such as ourselves.
5 reasons why I need a fringe jacket
6 comments
I have been looking for a fringe jacket for forever. I remember telling my mom this particular item was on my wishlist, her eyes widened as if i’d just told her I’d be joining the circus. That must have been back in 2008 or something, I vaguely recall being abroad in Barcelona, so it must be around that time.
Years later, I’m still searching. The vintage ones I find don’t fit properly, and the new ones are mostly just too expensive. I’d love one in cognac. Maybe suede. Mostly one that would fit me like a glove. If you have any leads, do let me know!
Want to know why my obsession has grown so much lately? Read more..

We didn’t think it would actually come to this, but waheeeey, we won a Weekend Blog Award yesterday! Best Fashion Blog, that is, for those still wondering. We’re so happy with this honor, hell, we were so happy to be even nominated!
So we would like to say a big big BIIIIIG thank you to all of you who voted, and to Weekend Knack and Enchanté for organizing the awards. And thank you to our fellow nominees, we honestly love you all. Check out all the wonderful websites here (and here for our French speaking counterparts.) Oh and by the way: crappy phone pictures FTW.
Dior Addict.

True, I’m not entirely objective when it comes to make-up. Certainly not when it comes to Dior products. My love for the brand is well known, but what can one expect from a die hard lipstick addict? Gloss till you drop is my credo and with the latest Dior Addict Extreme collection I will continue on doing so.
Vibrant, shiny colors that make you long for the French Riviera are this summer’s key for creating a dashing appearance. Send a bold statement by matching your lips with dazzling, flashing nails and give your flamboyant Dior addiction voice. Being Extreme is what it’s all about.
