Versace for H&M ♥

Hi guys!

Here's my post about what I bought at Versace for H&M! Finally... I'm sorry that it took me so long to post those pics. I already tried to take pictures inside my house, but those weren't very good, so I had to get a photographer. And today I got one, haha! It was so so so so so cold outside! I hope you like the pics!

Did you get anything of the collection?






hihi erm yes, awkward face! :P


What I'm wearing:
Versace for H&M top, skirt and heels


Also I would like to apologize for the lack of outfit posts. When I use self timer, the pictures won't be as good as when a friend comes with me to take my pictures for me. There's also the fact that when I come home from school, it's getting dark already so the pictures really won't come out very good :( Maybe when I use a photographer, they will be good, I'll try that soon!

DIY Number One Heels


Ever wanted to be number one? Well, with these heels you can!! And how much will they cost? Let me tell you: they will cost you nothing! no-thing! That sounds appealing now, doesn't it?

You can creathe these babies yourself. What will you need?

- Two medals
- Chains
- Studs
- Needles and thread
- Studs
- Glue
- And it's possible to use a ribbon

When to use the ribbon?
When you want to wear your shoes with and without the decoration. If you put safety pins on the outsides of the ribbon, you can choose whether you want to wear your heels with your number one decoration! Plus, if you decide to create the decoration on a ribbon, you can put them on any shoe you want! You can even put one on a bag if you want to spice up your bag! :)

How to create these heels?
When you're using a ribbon, sew all the chains on the ribbon. When you're not using a ribbon, simply sew the chains on the shoe!


1. Measure how long the ribbon has to be to cover the entire front of the shoe


2. Pin the medal on the ribbon (or shoe) to see where it will look the prettiest. Try to put it as much as possible in the middle of the shoe. This will make your decoration the prettiest


3. Sew the chains on the ribbon (or shoe) the way you want them to be. Also glue the studs on the ribbon where you want. I decided to put the chains in the middle and finish it up with a stud on both sides. This is how your ribbon will look!


4. Put the safety pins on the ribbon and use these safety pins to secure the ribbon to the heel.


5. Follow the exact same steps on the other heel. Yay! Your pretty heels are all done! Now all you've got to do is put them on and wow everyone with your number one heels! :)

I hope you guys like this DIY! If you decide to do this yourself as well, don't hesitate to email me your results! I'd be happy to see your results!

We're Light as a Feather













This is the last set of pictures of the photoshoot I did Sunday the 13th of November with photographer Pieter Opmeer :). The light colors match the sand perfectly!! :) I also love the head band. Bought it at H&M for only 2 euros and it's so nice and warm!!

what I'm wearing:
H&M skirt, worn as dress // unknown socks // H&M headband


Ohhh and tomorrow I'll be going to the Filippa K shopping night with my friend Vyvian!! She won a 'ticket' to go there via ELLE.nl, and she could take one person with her. I'm sooo thrilled that she's taking me!! I can't really afford anything (even though they've got an exclusive sale for us!) in the store I guess, because I spent all my money on Versace for H&M (ghe he) but I'm still so excited!!

Of course I'll take my camera with me, so there'll be pics of the shopping night right here on my blog soon! :)

Shopping: Versace for H&M

what, oh, what could possibly be inside this gorgeous shopping bag???



as you might have noticed just yet, I went to the H&M store in Rotterdam today! Their Versace for H&M collection was launched today. Unfortunately I couldn't go there early in the morning because of school.. But I went at about 11 o' clock. It was still extremely crowded in the store, and lots of the pieces were already sold out.. The pieces I wanted were sold out, so I bought a pair of SHOES!

Myyyy gosh they're sooo pretty! Hadn't even noticed them before I saw them standing there, asking me to try them on... Yes, the shoes were talking to me, haha. No, just kidding. But I realllly wanted them. So I tried them on, fell even more in love and soon found myself outside the store with a huge Versace for H&M shopping bag.

Then my lovely sister told me she ordered the items I was craving for online. Pictures of those items will be online as soon as they arrive! :) Today was a perfect day. Then my mother also just came home with thermo leggings.. I'm wearing them now and they are just ah-ma-zing haha!

So now you're probably curious about the shoes I bought, right? Well, here are my new lovely babies!!





Were you able to buy anything of the collection?

Bodies in the Sand

Hi guys!

This is the second look of the photoshoot I had last Sunday with photographer Pieter Opmeer! :) I love the way all the black looks with the light color of the sand. I have one more look for you, which is particularly different from this look, haha, but I won't spill too much for now! I hope you guys like this look! :)














What I'm wearing:
Episode hat // Miss London sweater (borrowed it from my sister) // DIY ripped leggings // Primark heels


Wearing heels on a beach is NOT comfortable haha! I kind of knew that already before I decided to take the heels with me for this look, but hey, they look good don't they?

In The Wind

Hi guys!!

Had a photoshoot today with friend & photographer Pieter Opmeer! We went to the beach of Hoek van Holland. It was pretty windy out there and I was extreeeemely cold after the shoot, but it was so worth it!! I took three different outfits with me. Today I'll show you the first shoot!

I'm wearing a ballet leotard with a home made skirt and my Van Haren heels :) Hope you like the shots!

You Can with Kenzo

Hi guys!

Here are some pics of what I wore today! I'm wearing my Kenzo blazer which I bought in Paris last year for €40 in the cutest vintage store ever! :) I'm so in love with it, even though I'm not wearing it that often. As it's kind of oversized, it sometimes looks strange to wear it on a dress.

I'm also wearing Zara pants, a Blanco top, Van Haren heels and an Episode hat. Oh and you might have noticed that my hand's injured.. It happened two weeks ago, and as I had a testweek last week I haven't been able to give it some rest.. So now I'm wearing this compression bandage to release pressure on my hand. Hope it will be over soon!!

Super Duper Wall







this is what I wore to the ANSH46 event! I wore my Van Haren heels and this brand new dress. And guess who made it, my dear followers? Yes! It's me!! :)

I do have one nice tip for when you ever want to create a dress yourself.. Never do it when you have to hurry!! This dress wasn't really finished an hour before I had to go to the event. I still had to put a zipper in. So I decided that I had time to put that zipper in, do my hair, iron the dress, put it on, search for the right shoes......... Do a lot in an hour, to shorten the story.

So when I went to the train station on my bike, I suddenly felt a small rip on my back.. At first I thought the zipper went down a bit, but then I realized that the dress was ripping.. Luckily it wasn't torn apart completely, but just a little bit on top. It stayed on all night and didn't rip any further. :)

I've been studying all day today. My testweek is coming up this week, so I'll probably be posting even less than I already do (ok yeah I should seriously start posting more often, I know)... Hope you guys will enjoy your week haha!

No need to Complicate







What I'm wearing:
H&M top // Zara skirt // Christmas decoration used as a belt // Primark heels


Here are some pictures I took about a month (or two..) ago - oops. Completely forgot to upload them!!

My holidays have started today. :) That's something I really needed! Went to this huge secondhand store in town today, Het Goed, and bought an ELLE blazer and a nice scarf for the winter. I also saw an amazing black fake fur coat which only costs €16,50!! It's an H&M coat, so the original price would have been about 60 euros.. I didn't buy it though but I think I might regret it..

What do you think.. Should I go back tomorrow and buy it?

Qui Tu Aimes






This is what I wore today!
H&M military jacket // Vila dress // Hema tights // Zara socks


Had lots and lots of things to do today again: first school, then right when I came home I had to grab my stuff and eat something before I'd go to ballet. Then after ballet I had to go to singing class, and then ballet again. I'm glad I found some time to take these pictures today!

Well I'm gonna get some sleep now, as my day was pretty tiring and tomorrow will be another busy day! I'm going to see the preparation for Wicked the musical, because it's finally coming to Holland! Of course I'll take my camera with me so I can show you guys how we "greenified" the theatre and made Scheveningen ready for Wicked! :D

Magique

Hi guys!

The weather has been a-ma-zing the last couple of days! It feels like summer... Kind of strange though: I was walking through town, in my short dress and the sun shining all bright and lovely, while leaves were falling off the trees.. It actually has something magic about it.

As the weather was gorgeous today as well, me and my friend Ashley decided to go on a little picnick. So we went to the supermarket and bought some food and drinks and went to a park, where we sat and talked all day long. :) And this is what I wore today!






H&M skirt // vintage top // Swedish Hasbeens H&M shoes
