Seven-eight

Hi guys!!

I've finally got some new outfit pics for you guys!! Took them yesterday with the lovely Mira from miratells.blogspot.nl ! We took some time before school to take pics of each other. And seriously, besides being a great friend, she's also very good for your confidence when posing in front of the camera: "ohhhh beautiful shot!! Seriously, wow!!!" She's the sweetest!! :-)

I wore my new black/white pants with a blazer of which I don't know if I've ever shown it to you. It's got a great colour, it can really give that 'pop' of colour to any kind of outfit! Wear some nice jeans with a simple top, wear pants like these, the colour will definitely be there!!











What I'm wearing:
H&M pants // H&M t-shirt // Only blazer // Van Haren heels // Primark necklace


I seriously don't know what happened to my pic quality by the way.. I'm sorry! I'll try to get it better next time :-) I hope you enjoyed my haven't-seen-you-in-a-while outfit post!!

Trend Report: Spring/summer 2013 Inspiration

Hi guys!!

Spring is just around the corner!! After a long, long winter with super low temperatures and maybe even (lots of) snow, we can finally say that spring is about to set it's feet on this half of the world again. My sun-and-high-temperature-loving heart got totally excited when I heard weathermen say that the temperatures are getting higher next week. This means that I can almost get all of those warm winter sweaters out of my closet, and that all of the summer dresses I love will be able to go inside my closet again, and that these dresses can even be worn again without freezing to death!!

As I can't let my favorite spring/summer 2013 trends pass, I combined them in a huge style board I created on STYLIGHT.com, shown below. STYLIGHT is a great community in which all fashion loving people like you and me can create their own style boards. Use outfits of your own, or use outfits of people who inspire you, or go crazy and create a huge trend board like the one below!


You can view this board here and more of my boards right here.


I discovered STYLIGHT a couple of days ago and I can't let this pass. Have you ever heard of the website?? You should most definitely go check it out. With the possibility of creating boards like these, it's kind of like Polyvore, but then more stylish and you can dream bigger. I always had the problem with Polyvore that my images stayed super small. Well, I don't know if you've noticed already, but the images you can make with STYLIGHT (like the one above...) can be as huge as you want them to be!! Add your own pictures and some quotes, or maybe even a short movie clip or some nice music and you're board will fill itself in no time! STYLIGHT also has a huge fashion 'library', for both men and women. You can heart the items you love, basically putting it on your personal wishlist everyone in the STYLIGHT community can see. Maybe you can get your parents / (boy/girl)friend or even your grandparents to make a STYLIGHT account too, just to keep track of your wishlist.... ;-) Just joking.

STYLIGHT mixes cheaper items from for example Mint&Berry or Even&Odd with more expensive brands like Jeffrey Campbell, Sass and Bide and Hugo Boss. A nice touch is that STYLIGHT immediately shows you the price (and sometimes the discount price!) and you can filter the items on the amount of money you'd like to spend on your clothing. When you're browsing STYLIGHT from the UK, you can get to the webshop to buy your item simply by clicking on the item of your choice. In the Dutch version, you have to click on the item and then go to the webshop by clicking the "naar de shop" button. Easy, right? :-)

What do you think of the spring/summer trends for this year?? And what do you think of STYLIGHT? Do you already have an account or will you make one? You can find my account on www.stylight.nl/formerparades.

Instadiary

Hi guys!

Here's my - one week too late - Instagram post!! I've been so extremely busy with school lately.. I'm taking a break right now, and after this I'm gonna focus focus focus again. I decided to postpone my blogging for a week, so all the ideas for subjects and outfits I've gathered, will be online soon. Hopefully. I hope the weather won't make taking outfit pictures impossible.. I've done some shopping lately, so I've got a couple of new items to show you!! And it's getting dark at 6 PM lately, so I've got more options for taking outfit pictures after school, if I'm home early :-)



What's on the pics?
1. My personal favorite of my 2012 outfit recap. Check it out over here!
2. Two lovely Paperchase postcards. I bet I'll keep them in a frame and put them up on my wall
3. Jungle fever on my hand and wrist: Accessorize ring & Anna Dello Russo for H&M bracelet
4. New earrings, gift from my girlfriend Rinske!!
5. Jean Paul Gaultier in Rotterdam. Picture taken by Rinske <3 6. New H&M dress! I'm so in love with it!


I hope to be posting more frequently from now on!! Can't promise you anything though.. Busy busy weeks :-(

Love,
Saskia

Hi guys!

Here's my weekly Instagram update.. I didn't post that many pictures this week, so it's a very small post this week. That's why I'm giving you something extra to look at: a never posted outfit picture of what I wore around New Year's Eve! Why didn't I post it already? Well, that's for both you and I a very good question. ;-)



Instagrammies:
1. I always post a preview shot on my Instagram feed when I've had a photoshoot! Stay up to date by following me! My username's @saskiavanrij
2. Lovely desert time with Rinske
3. Almost Valentine's day again! Have you got some plans yet?
4. An old design in an old notebook of mine.
5. A not-so-clear picture of a painting I'm working on
6. I want these two items so badly!! Been searching for a skirt like this for ages now, and the bathing suit has just been added to my wishlist. I guess I'll just order them soon....

What I'm wearing in the outfit pic:
Vero Moda blazer // unknown brand dress // Van Haren heels


Have a nice evening!
