Color coordinated week

Last week on Tuesday my college noticed I was wearing pink just like the day before. 

Maybe the pink from my hair has entered my brain a little ;-)....

I'm not really a girly girl, barbie chica who wears pink all the time, but I thought it would be fun to make this a color coordinated week and wear all shades of pink from 

light baby hues, to sassy coral and hot fuchsia pink. 

Check out my daily diary of my looks last week, as I laid it all out on my bed. 

Monday: striped a-symmetrical cardi, silk ruffled top with dots, flowy paisley printed trouser, big hoop earrings with striped espadrilles and flip-flops. 

Tuesday: printed A-line top, pink stretchy mini skirt, skull necklace and killer heels to show a little leg.

Wednesday: Silk wrinkled top, boyfriend jeans, scarf as belt and red dancing shoes with lace laces to spice up this casual look. 

Thursday: Hot pink flowy blouse, black pants with shiny stripes, bedroom loafers with mustaches and bright yellow hanger necklace.  

Friday: Black T, kimono top with flowers, baggy de-stressed jeans, flip-flops and golden cuff necklace for a bit of glamour on a casual Friday. 

Saturday, Gay Pride day: Sexy fuchsia dress, with one sleeve and golden zipper. 

Killer heels, chain necklace, sparkle silver purse and scarf’s in my hair for a special touch. 

Cotton Candy Hair

 HAIR # 1  

Lately I have just been bumping into pastel shaded hair everywhere. 

Online and in magazines it seems the new 012 summer trend and I love it. 

Not afraid to experiment I have tried several colors years ago when working as a hairdresser's assistant. 

What will it be, fresh minty green, baby blue hues or bright girly pinks???

   But as I'm determent to grow my hair, it does not seems the smartest thing to do. 

But I have found the best solution ever, you can do it for a night out, and try all the shades without feeling guilty. 

With "Soft Pastels" you can just apply any color to your hair and wash it right out after a day or two. 

The only thing that is left to do is choose your first color. 

My original golden blond color -----> 
( I should get my dead end cut judging by this picture ;-)) 

























Twist a lock of your hair and rub up-and-down with the crayon.

Off-course I choose the pink this first time for a real cotton-candy coup. 

Also great when braided, to show off the contrast. 

Give it a try and have fun doing it.... 

Don't be afraid, and enjoy the looks you'll be getting. 

Collage #1 #2 #3

Ripping up magazines is really against my nature, 

but the result of these quirky sexy collages is worth it. 

I loved making them for a magazine project a few years ago.

 Just made a new one to add to my book. 

Just be a QUEEN...

LOADS OF COLOR AND BLING MATCHING AND MIS-MATCHING

Lazy Sunday

Very lazy Sunday 

Desperately waiting for the sun and the temperature to rise. I'm really not in the mood to get dressed today. I love dressing down in the weekend but I refuse to look like a slob. 

There is a fine line between casual and still cool, 

and looking like you're just pain hungover.... 

Lesson 1: Fashionable shades

Lesson 2: Sophisticated stripes 

Lesson 3: Printed scarf 

20120615 What a lovely week

This was a most fabulous inspiring week. Check out my diary.  

From shopping at Maison NL at the Utrechtsestraat, you should really pay them a visit, they have lots of beautiful things for the home and great gifts. I bought myself a lovely notebook for lovely new ideas. 

Some creative craftsmanship projects finished and still under construction, results will be shown soon off course!  

I got a pair of striped espadrilles just like on my wishlist, no Chanel, but I might add a double C myself ;-)... 

To top it all of a sunny day down south with my love. Shopping, strolling, laughing and great cocktails on the shore of the Maas at sunset. 

CHEERS BIG EARS!

Early Fall 012 inspiration

As it is so damn cold in Amsterdam, just 15 degrees today, 

I have some really early FALL outfit inspiration.

 I love the simplicity of the black coat and slouchy jeans, but the really hot red pumps add some spice to the look. 

Let's all hope we first do get a bit (or a lot) more summer before fall really comes.
