Everyday

I live my life with purpose and everyday I strive for greatness.

Hearts desire

There are times where you look for something you simply can not find.

We all know that I adore leather skirts especially high waisted and I stumbled upon this leather fabric at the place I used to work and brought it home for less then a euro.

I immediately knew I wanted to make a pencil skirt and can not wait to find a bustier to create a very feminine prada chic look.

1996

Shoes Jeffrey Campbell via Sarenza, Skirt H&M (old)

Took these out yesterday and like I expected they get a lot of attention and comments.

Some refer them to the Spice Girls (seriously, who didn't love the spice girls) other to the circus.

Myself couldn't care less what others think, these shoes are too fierce and I become a giant once I step into these.

And we all know how I love being a giant giraffe.

Pleasure pieces

Ever since I cleaned out my closet I haven't got myself anything new yet and even though there are some things I want to get, I definitely appreciate my current pieces and enjoy combining them.

These are my two favorite pieces at the moment.

Stolen faces

Spent the day walking down the streets of The Hague along with my siamese twin Jasper.

Stopped by one of my favorite stores COS.

I was looking for some basics and a dress but did not find (except beautiful undergarment) what I was looking for and left with two full bags instead for Jasper.

However they are some garments that I will definitely 'borrow' from him (and never give back).

Temporary

With the last decision of cleaning out my closet I have entered the fase of carefully thinking of what I still have and what I will need to buy to have a stable but versatile wardrobe.

The things I currently want to invest in are some basics and a few garments with subtle colors or prints.

Selling most of your clothes sure isn't easy (I'm serious when I say that I went from four closets to one) but it gives such a refreshing/challenging new perspective on your style.

Sticking to what you know will only hold you back and at some point you must push forward.

Restless

Both restless body and mind creates the conflict of not being able to stay inside for longer than a day and it is pretty tiring since my mind says there is no time for rest while my body says otherwise.

However while running errands I somehow (Ok I admit I went looking for it) bumped into the book I-D Covers (1980-2010) and totally looking forward to read it in bed later today after I get some work done.

Antinomy

Wearing: Leather top DIY, Leather skirt DIY, Shoes Zara.

Currently experiencing the desire to wear simplistic but deconstructive lines and whites.

There was still some leather left after making the top and a leather skirt was the perfect addition.

Bloom

Oui we have had a few days of spring and I did not even knew it was possible (I mean little of the Dutch blood I have hardly has cost that problem before) but somehow half of my face got sunburnt and now I look like a shrimp with platinum blond hair.

Not to mention that only one half of my face got sunburnt (we all know which side that is).

Nevertheless I took little of my time to visit some exhibitions and make some time for myself in between the many things left to do.
To bloom one must feed oneself.
