The 23rd edition of Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam is a wrap and that means that the full report of the SS16 Catwalk at MBFWA can be given. I visited seven shows & loved each of the collections in a different way. To share my thoughts with you I selected several images of my favorite pieces of each of the fashion designers. If you look at the pictures we can conclude that...
As I am such a huge fan of Snapchat (read here why), I created short movies of the nights & shows that I attended at Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. Sorry for the lack of sharpness & quality, but I hope it gives you a very good first impression of the amazing collections shown on the catwalk. Stay tuned on this blog (and Snapchat) as more of these kind of...
Today I show you a piece of Wayuu art, the perfect example of what I call "pure eye candy". I am talking about the Wayuu mochilla bag that is hanging around my shoulders. This bag has been knitted by the Wayuu Indian Tribe in Colombia that is celebrated for its colorful and cultural bags and have been producing these accessories for many generations. The Wayuu people are known as the people of the...
Mr. Pineapple and I are inseparable this weekend! On Wednesday I flew to Italy, where I am currently enjoying myself with five athletes that are going to do the Ironman-triathlon. My job is to make sure they eat sufficient carbo-bombs, sleep many hours and cheer as loud as I can this Sunday! And since each Iron (wo)man brought his/her girl/boyfriend as well, I decided that Mr. Pineapple will be mine for the...
A leopard bag never gets out of style! It is timeless, makes a statement and has a magical effect on outfits. Whether your outfit is plain and simple or colorful and embellished, the leopard will be a match. Olivia Palermo proved that leopard even teams with a floral print and orange leather and black fur (check my pinterest to see the picture). Leopard is a recurring trend and perfect for the...
"My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…!" Do you remember the lyrics of this popular song by Kelis? I loved to sing along and dance while this song was bumping through the speakers. With these sunny days ahead I just can’t wait to go partying, especially at a superb festival. You probably already bought your tickets for the festivals this season and you might have even been...
Mini, midi, maxi - You probably think that I am talking about those delicious croissants that your boyfriend is making you on Sunday morning? Or maybe you relate the trio "mini, midi, maxi" to skirts and you expect that this post will be all about those pieces of clothing? Which I totally understand as springtime has arrived and this item is just perfect to wear during this time of...
Sit down & relax! Now that you arrived in a true backpack heaven you should enjoy it to the max! The world of backpacks is enormous and only a few of these rucksacks have made it to heaven. These bags come in all kinds of versions in terms of styles, brands, sizes, colors, prize ranges, forms, materials, etc. The most classic form of the backpack is still very popular. Its characteristics are...
Vintage items are very popular nowadays. It sounds exclusive, chic and unique. It is an item that is hard to get, made of good quality and already has a long history (like my grandmother's bag, see previous post). The best example of a famous vintage piece of clothing is the black and white Valentino dress that Julia Roberts wore when she won the Academy Award in 2001 for her...
The last few weeks I have been constantly instagram-ming! As from 11 February, when Fashion Week started off in New York, until today while Fashion Week is closing in Paris, I have been literally following all that happened in the four fashion capitals. Although I wasn't in New York nor London nor Milan nor Paris, I wanted to see how my favorite bloggers were dressed and which bag they carried...
