I like skirts

As the days go by, it is not that sunny anymore in the evening. You can just say that it is really dark at 5 p.m. So I am sorry for the dark pictures but I could not wait to show you my new skirt!





Have a nice evening!

Floral fall

The cold has reached Amsterdam. There is only rain and wind here unfortunatly. My bike blew away yesterday and hit over by a car... My bike died but the good thing is that I am still alive! :-) Even though the weather doesn't engourage it, I love to wear my floral dress. I think it looks nice with my new vest.







I have some exciting news! My new layout is almost finished and you can reach me from now on at www.petticoatsandhighheels.com ! For now it is redirecting to this page but it will link to my new blog soon!

Hello monday!

Hope you all had a good weekend! Mine was great: dancing, lying on the couch, eating, photographing, meeting with my friends! Now it's time for work again. I have to deliver my personal book on friday and I'm a little scared of that. I never made a book before so I don't really know how it works. I made my grid in indesign and i hope everything will go alright at the copyshop but you never know!

I'm at my parents house right now to do some last changes at my book and photographs, after that I'm going to the copyshop for a first impression. Tomorrow, I have time to get some last feedback from my teacher so I need something i can show her!

My parents are re-decorating the house so it's kind of a mess right now. My old room became some kind of library... Well not a very good place to make pictures right now but i did it anyway. This is what I'm wearing today. Received my -secondhand- topshop 'dress'. I can't wear it as a dress because it's way too short but i like it this way!

We love tapas!

I had dinner with my best friends tonight and it was so much fun. We went for tapas in the nicest restaurant. If you are planning on going to Amsterdam and you like tapas, I would really recommend it. The tapas bar is called Stefanos and you'll find it here: Roelof Hartstraat 27. Not really in the centre, but also a very nice part of the city. The owner is actually a Greek so you will find a mix between Spanish and Greek food on the menu.



I thought my pictures were very clear but when I put them on my laptop, I got a nasty surprise. They aren't that sharp but you will get the idea! I also recieved my dress from Etsy! I am so happy about it, I really love it! Better pictures will come up soon.




Hmm tiramisu... my favourite desert!

Three of my best friends! We had a great evening. Unfortunatly one of my friends couldn't make it and the other one is currently in Ghana, Africa! She's doing an internship in a hospital over there, very exciting.

ps. for those who noticed, yes: I dyed my hair!

Oops, I did it again

I know i said i wouldn't buy anything till London but i just got my first paycheck for my freelance work so i gave myself a little present. I absolutly love this blouse. Actually, it's one size too big but i think it doesn't matter. I hope to wear this beauty soon!

London baby!

I bought a ticket to London! In December, i'm flying to England with three of my best friends. I'm so excited about it! Although it is still two months from now, i'm already saving money so i can shop till i drop! If you have any tips i would love to hear them! Also, we don't have a place to sleep yet so if you know a nice hostel/hotel/appartment that doesn't cost a lot, please let me know.

This is what i wore today. I like my high-waist jeans but i don't wear them a lot. They only costs nine euros! I also recieved my new jacket for fall yesterday.

Fit and buy

Unfortunatly, I got the flu. Which I really hate because not only I'm sitting at home with a huge headache, I also miss a lot at school today grmb...

These are some pictures I made last week. I'm not really fond of the store River Island but I saw some nice things there. Like a sweet blue, polkadot blouse and a floral dress. Even though, I didn't buy anything. I did find a nice shirt from American Apparel which I couldn't resist! The fabric feels great and it fits very nice. I love that brand!

Vintage finds at the Noordermarkt

I went to the Noordermarkt (fleemarket in Amsterdam) on monday with one of my best friends. I found two nice, blue dresses! I also wanted to share with you the place you can eat the best apple pie of Amsterdam: Winkel 43.






Eat the best apple pie here!

I'll be on time now

I bought my agenda for next year today! I went to the American Bookstore at Spui (amazing bookstore, you should really take a look when you're in the neighbourhood, plus you get student discount) and bought a Moleskine Weekly Notebook. I think all Moleskine notebooks are the best. I have my sketchbook, which I take everywhere I go. I also bought one as a travel diary for summervacation.

A simple day to school

I only had one class today, a lot more relaxing then last week! It was about a 'fashion fascination' we have to choose to work on for the next few weeks. I have to do a shoot this week where I dipict 5 emotions to my fascination... Have to figure out first what I am going to use for a fascination! Do you have any ideas?

This is what I wore today. I'm not really that enthusiastic about it though. I wore my Matthew Wiliamsson dress with a H&M trend skirt. I recieved my flats from new look! This is one of the two pair I ordered. I think they are pretty cute. This weekend I went out to look for a jacket, couldn't find it.. but I did bought this leather bag (in sale! yeay).

Got a new dress

Received my package from H&M last week! I sent back the jeans-legging because it didn't fit right and I didn't liked it so much. I doubted about the dress but I decided to keep it! And I'm very glad I made that decision, I probably would have regret it the minute after I send it back!

New autumn/winter collections

Yesterday I went shopping, hoping to catch some nice last sale items. Unfortunately almost everything was gone. The new collections were already in store, and it looked very nice! Especially the new collection from Zara I liked very much. Here are some pictures:

I wanted to buy a lot but my wallet didn't aloud me... I did bought some nice rings.
