With Love,









This is what I wore today! I went to take pictures again after school (we sneaked out earlier haha, our teacher was gone anyway, so why should we have stayed? :P).

Well I'm gonna study now for tomorrow's French test!

Big love,

Fashion & Simplicity in Paris

So here's my big surprise. The last day (I'm actually pretty sad I went just three days... But that's only a good reason to go to Paris again soon!) in Paris, we first went to visit the Notre Dame, I love the church, it's so gorgeous! After this, my mother and I walked through les Tuileries. The weather was gorgeous, I even took my coat off!

Then suddenly saw a crowd of people, and so we went there to check it out. Turns out it was a crowd of bloggers and other fashionable people (including bag ladies - on the first picture on the right, with the white maxi skirt - who also looked great). I was too excited to take lots of pictures, because I just kept looking and looking and looking. My eyes almost fell out, haha. But luckily, my mother took pictures. Seeing all those people standing in front of the Viktor and Rolf show (which was probably going on allready, not sure but I think so according to the music we heard..) made me realise how much I wish to be able to go to a Paris Fashion Week show. It made me realise how big my dream to be a fashion professional is. But enough talking for now, I'm gonna show you the pictures! (I don't have that much pictures, but it's enough, I think haha)










And this is what I wore that very day!




Pictures taken in front of a door near Place de la Concorde :)

Big love,
Saskia!

Leopard














This is what I wore today! My neck hurts like hell, and so does my back, so I'm totally stiff, but I tried to cover it up as well as I could in the pictures. I actually had a pretty rough time climbing up that tree in the third picture haha! This outfit isn't the surprise I was talking about yesterday, that'll be my next post. I'll probably start working on it as soon as this post is done haha. I won't keep you guys waiting too long!
By the way: notice the pretty details on my pants in the last picture! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, in Paris (bought it at Zara for 50 €). I didn't try it on that moment, but when I saw someone buying it, I thought: "I gotta have it too." So I bought it at the next Zara store my mom and I went to, haha. I love it!

What I'm wearing:
Blouse - Lanvin for H&M
Top - Only
Pants & bag - Zara
Shoes - Andre

The Second Day In Par(ad)is(e)

This wall says "I love you" in 133 different languages. We found the Dutch "Ik hou van je" after about half an hour, haha

The Montparnasse Tower

Marc by Marc Jacobs ballerinas


Don't we all love carousels?

pink cars, how amazing is that? :D


And now my outfit of the second day in Paris! :) I'm wearing a H&M Skirt and a H&M jacket. I'm also wearing Blanco ballerinas!








Tomorrow I'll give you the pictures of my last day in Paris, plus what I saw of the fashion week! Ofcourse I didn't see any shows (but oh how I wanted to see at least one of them!), but I did see something else....... I'm not gonna tell you guys yet what I saw exactly, because I want to keep it a surprise. It's not that special, but it did give me some inspiration....... You guys know it yet?? No? Well, keep guessing then, and I'll show my pictures tomorrow! :D

Big love,
Saskia.

A Day in my Future Hometown


Our hotel in Montmartre, Paris. The location was just perfect! Our view from the hotel room was also great: we could see the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Montparnasse Tower and more.


Delicious: a cheese hotdog. Really: you HAVE to taste it, it's simply delicious!


Fooling around in a store in Les Quatre Temps, la Défense.


L'église de Saint Jean de Montmartre, a church near metro station Abesses. The details of this church were gorgeous!


"Man in the Wall", a tribute to the writer Marcel Aymé, located in Montmartre

And here are the outfit pictures my mom took of me on the first day. I'm telling you, it was actually a little bit like coming home again. I know it for sure now, I'm gonna move to Paris after I graduated from whatever study I'll take! So here are my outfit pictures, taken on La Grande Arche and in front of the beautiful church of Saint Jean de Montparnasse.









What I'm wearing:
Coat & dress - Vero Moda
Tights, socks & sunglasses - H&M
Bag - Kringloopwinkel
Shoes - Blanco
Scarf - River Island

Love, Saskia
