Kitty time

It's been a while since you've seen me with jeans here. If I wore 'jeans' it was black or embroidered, but not actual jeans. The last time when I wore them, here, was back in September of 2011. That's been a while. Honestly, I do wear jeans frequently, but somehow they never appear on the blog. These boyfriend jeans are fairly new and I've worn them a lot already.
Anyhow, I wore them with my new T-bar platforms from Topshop. Whilte shooting these pictures, an older lady walked by and started talking to me about these shoes. It was a funny conversation! She found them very "cool".

I love them shoes

Asos "Prone pointed" high heels | Asos raffia "Heard" platforms | Topshop "Shout T-bar"mega hi-platforms

Around this time of the year, or actually it starts a few months earlier honestly, I get an awfully bad shoe craving. Spring is getting to me at that point and it doesn't stop till summer begins. I got some beautiful sandals a few months ago from Asos and now these.
The pointed shoe is something I've loathed and loved at the same time, but the love part concurred, which explains the soft pink pair. Pretty, powdery, pinkish perfection.

The other two pairs are just awesome and heaven to walk in. A good platform is always a nice add to a shoecollection.

A Roman Dolce & Gabanna

Dolce & Gabbana "Pupi print full skirt" dress | Goose Craft jacket | Hermes"H" bracelet | Nelly "SeOne" ankleboots

This dress is the most amazing, fantastic, gorgeous and original dress I own. I saw it in London several weeks ago and when I walked by it again a week later, I just had to take another look at it. The dress was still as gorgeous as I remembered. The organza silk feels so delicate and the print itself is brilliant if you ask me. The dress has a double meaning to me. The great weekend I had while being in London and my dad loves the Romans, which means the print will always remind me of him.

When I just got it, I thought of combining it in a different way, but the weather wasn't very cooperative for the look I had in mind. Perhaps it's something for next month when the temperatures go up.

We got a first

This is the first time I'm wearing a pencil skirt on the blog. I feel so grown up wearing this outfit. Guess I sort of grew up this past year and needed something new. Since a while I've been feeling I need something more 'mature', but I find it hard to look the part, because I just love those flowy, flirty and girly dresses. Plus the face makes me look young. Last summer this lady in Italy thought I was 15. I was 20 at the time. You can say I was insulted, haha.

Anyhow, wore this last week when the sun was out shining and the temperatures were rising. Loved it to wear my first actual summer-y look without needing a jacket. Though the shoes are already from a year ago, I still adore them.

5 years of blogging

I completely forgot that when I posted this, that it was on the same day my blog existed for 5 years. Can you believe it? 5 years! I started this blog as a 16 year old with grey hair and awfully bad photo's (and dare I say taste). A lot has happened the past 5 years. My hair went from grey to blonde and short to red and long. I broke up several times with my ex boyfriend and found new love, which is my current boyfriend (and best one ever. Love the fact he pretty much looks like a meerkat and a Dutch Steve Aoki). I graduated from a 'lower' fashion school, I was a volunteer at hotel The Exchange, a fashion hotel and now I'm a fashion student in Amsterdam at Amfi. I can also not forget that my shoe collection grew by the minute, just like my dress collection. Time does fly by.

Anyhow, now I'm going to look back at some of my fave outfits from the last 5 year. Hope you like it!
