Give me some CANDY!

While reading all those fashion blogs (mostly Italian, dunno why) I heard a lot about Furla Candy bags.. I saw them in pink, green and every other fashionable candy-colour. But yesterday I discovered the 'CANDY BOSTON'..
Check it out! 

It is really my cup of tea! Now it's about e few months already that I'm looking for the perfect bag. It has two conditions: It has to be black and my iPad should fit in it! Mission completed! Although I should shop for Christmas presents first before I should spoil myself... again! ;)

A new way around

A long time ago you were a fashionista when you had a scrapbook of all your favorite fashion items cut out of every issue of Vogue, Elle, ... Or when you drew or stitched your own clothing line..
Now the whole fashionista-thing went a whole way around. Although Vogue and Elle show us what haute couture looks like.. The real couture can be found in the streets.. It's the diamond trend model (Henrik Vejlgaard, trendwatcher) all over again. Real fashionistas that wear whatever they like mingle with friends, they copy their style and that's how fashion works. And now these 'mingling and copying' activities got a boost through social media. Famous fashion bloggers or 'ego bloggers' show how you can be very fashionable without spending your total pay! I really love to look at my twitter page and see that they posted a new outfit. At those moments I think 'why don't I have a photographer to take my outfit-pictures?'.. :D


I love to pick up all their ideas. It gives me a lot of inspiration to combine things out of my closet (so no extra shopping is needed). So with this blog I'll make my own little fashion and gadget wishlist. :)

A new start needs some cleaning.. ;)

This week started as a rough week at work in combination with a couple of sleepless nights. I had a paper deadline for a conference monday midnight, and as usual it was 11 p.m. when it was submitted (I always take deadlines literally).. So tuesday I planned an in my eyes deserved quiet 'me-time' evening at my place with time for a long long shower (in other ways I'm a very sustainable person, I sort my garbage) and a happy end as a couch potato. Coming home I got the brilliant idea to just clean out my closet. That way I would be more aware of the potential of 'my collection'. The result was a true reality check: two garbage bags of clothes and one bag of shoes (I still have to do 'my shoes part II', so soon you'll get the end result).

You should know that I'm a true collector, I have difficulties throwing things away. I was also thinking about the plus-side to the story: now there's plenty of room for new tops, pants, blazers, shorts... and shoes! :) So now I have room for my new additions: a black leather jacket (Zara) and a silver blouse (H&M). I love them, what do you think? I should put a photo on wearing them, but I have to find a volunteer-photographer first.. :)
