INTIMISSIMI - Fall 2012

It has been a while since i have posted about Intimissimi. But.... i am still in love with the brand! I think i have about 20 sets of Intimissimi underwear in my closet! And that number can grow because, in the last few months Intimissimi released a webshop for NL!!!! (And many more countries around europe). 

If you want to go to a Intimissimi shop nearby the Netherlands you can go to Wijnegem Shopping Center (nearby Antwerp- Belgium). I am going Saturday to check out the Fall collection!

See my wish list:

Fashion inspiration.....

FOREVER 21 & Abercrombie & Fitch naar Amsterdam!!!

NiceNice!!! De Amerikaanse modeketen Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F), bekend van de reclames met afgetrainde mannenlijven, komt naar Amsterdam! Dit najaar opent de keten zijn eerste Nederlandse vestiging in het oude Metz & Co-gebouw op de hoek van de Leidsestraat en de Keizersgracht. 

En of dit nog niet genoeg is. Onlangs werd ook bekend dat een andere grote Amerikaanse modeketen, Forever21, naar Nederland komt. Amsterdam welteverstaan! De keten, die goedkope kleding verkoopt a la Primark, opent eind 2013 in het pand Rokin Plaza (met een ingang aan de Kalverstraat én Rokin) zijn eerste Nederlandse vestiging. Shopze! :-)

Fashion Finds for June 2012

Just had a few days off and was enjoying the wonderfull summer weather here in Amsterdam. In between i also did a little shopping by hitting the stores in de Kalverstraat (Kalverstreet). A lot of fluor and aztec print were in the stores. I brought a aztec skirt and a studded blazer at the Zara. 

What do you think?

 

Silk SCARF dress

What's our favorite part about summer? Dresses of course! We're seriously craving summer sundresses right now, and we fell in love with these beautiful Silk Scarf dresses. At the moment, here in Amsterdam, all the big department stores have one in the collection (Zara, Mango, H&M, etc). Great way to add some colour into your wardrobe!

Here are our favorite findings:

 

Clockwise = Zara, H&M, Mango & Zara

Biker jacket

 One of my all time favorites are Biker jackets! 

And then i mean the Danie Bles for Fab Suede ones. I only think €450,- is a little too much for the jacket. 

So, I just found a good rip-off at the local Hema. For only €50,- I found a real leather jacket and its good price-quality ratio. Can you see the difference??? ;-)

See above Sylvie Van Der Vaart in the real deal and below my own Hema Biker- Jacket. YES!

Blake Lively in Burberry trenchcoat

When i saw Blake Lively for the first time in this trenchcoat on the set of Gossip Girl, i just fell in love with it! The perfect color and the fabric (linnen) with the stones on the shoulder looks so stylish and Va va vooooom! After a while i find out that this coat is from the new collection of Burberry Prorsum. And it retails for € 6.000,-

.... Never mind, i hope i can find a good look-a-like at Zara or Mango soon. In the meanwhile, i keep on dreaming of the beautiful Burberry..

STYLEFILE: Estelle Gullit

Estelle Gullit is the famous niece of retired soccer player Johan Cruijff, and the wife of soccer trainer Ruud Gullit. Estelle is a societylady here in the Netherlands. With great stylish outfits and beautiful (gold) jewellery and hair/ make-up that is done by Leco van Zadelhoff, she always looks amazing. And what i like most about her, in the summer in Ibiza, she still manages to look fashion-casual-chic.

What could be her secret?

Creative Sushi?

I seem to eat a lot of sushi the last few months. After recently looking for a new place to explore in Amsterdam, I was reminded by a friend of the beautiful sushi art of chef Ken Kawasumi. He transforms the simple sushi roll (maki-zushi) into an designed masterpiece. How cute are the Panda and the flower sushi's! I wil try to make this by myself sometimes to interest my little cousins into sushi! 

Antik Batik - Bohemian Chic!

Can't wait until the new 2012 Summer collection for Antik Batik. Last year Antik Batik (original from France) had colorful outfits that enhanced your wardrobe with cheerful grooves. I am a fan of the dresses and bags that you can mix/match with different fabrics and prints for the multicolored fashion trend. Take a sneek peek of the collection from last year. Hope the new 2012 collection has the same WOW-factor!

 

 

I love Diptyque...

 

Maybe its because of the very cold evenings ouside here in Amsterdam and that i wanted to stay in my house with a lot of candles burning. For the candles I prefer Diptyque. Diptyque is really one luxury that comes back to time and time again! Their products are the finest with great smell. My favourite scent is Baies. I love it. And when the candle is emtpy, i re-use it in the bathroom for my make-up brushes!

Prada, Prada & Prada!!!!

My motto is always: "The Devil Wears Prada!"

Just because i like the expression and i am a big fan of the beautiful Prada bags (and the movie ofcourse ;-).The new Prada SS 2012 collection is wonderful and all about the pastels, soft tones and nice coulorful bags. In the new collection Prada uses a lot of neutural colors and here and then a bright color to spice it up! I especially like the clutches sunglasses, accessoires and the bags.

Hermès Scarf Booklet

A Hermes bag or accessorize is always a treat and something very exclusive. For Christmas i bought myself the Hermès Scarf Booklet SS 2011 (for only $16,- online on eBay). Please enjoy the highlights from the latest SS booklet with the wonderful Amber Valetta as their model.
