event AIFW/ green fashion competition

Yesterday I attended The Green Fashion Competition, along with Whitney, Cylia & Ilona. The Green Fashion Competition is a competition for entrepreneurs in the fashion industry, for individuals (and teams) with a vision of what the future of fashion should look like. The aim of the competition is to find the talented entrepreneurs in the industry who aim to create a fashion business while sustaining biodiversity.

It really was a big spectacle; with a lot of designers who showed three pieces of their latest collection each. Here are a few pictures to give you a little impression of the evening. Warning: Picture Overload.

1. The collection of the winner two years ago: Elsien Gringhuis. I really love the collection she displayed, mainly because it's wearable much. My favorite by far was the black/white suit; love it

2.  Loved this pink suit, combined with this floral jumpsuit and a matching turban to top it off. By one of the winners; Carrie Parry

3. Another gorgeous suit by Carrie Parry

4. Nilofar, Whitney, Cylia, Ilona et moi

5. Such an extraordinary outfit, not really my cup of tea. But I can see the beauty of it; by ZAGB

6. Stunning make-up, at the show of SUPRB

7. Wow, amazing dress. It's so well-crafted, designed by Narelle Dore

8. And there was a special guest who attended this show; the dutch Princes Máxima

outfit TURN ME ON AGAIN

When my friend and I planned a trip outside to shoot some pictures, we passed by this setting; a little art exposition located somewhere in the middle of our school. This little art exhibition was hidden behind a wall of bricks, so shooting pictures in this area wouldn't be any more awkward then normal; at least we thought. During our 'shoot' we heard all kinds of noises, when we looked up to find out what's buzzin'; we realized that we were standing under this balcony where a small audience of people were witnessing our shoot. The awkward.

new in THE COAT

I've been longing for this coat, ever since I saw it last year. But they day I've finally saved up enough money -read: the day my student grant finally was deposit- I went to the Zara and guess what?! They were completely sold out, even on their online shop; boehoe. So when unsuspecting me -this time with enough money in my pocket- walked into the Zara shop last week, here it was; my dream coat. You could imagine it didn't took long for me to decide wether I should buy it or not. Le me is in love with it, here are some pictures of me flaunting my new coat.

outfit DOG DAYS ARE OVER

This was the outfit I wore when I went dim summing with Zahra last week. Some of you might have read on twitter that I've dyed my hair a few weeks ago. Well it didn't quite turned out the way I've hoped and expected; read: it turned out RIhanna red in stead of burgundy red. Thank God it was demi-permanent hair color, so it will fade slowly. Now it has come to the point where it pretty much is the color I had in mind: at least. But there are worst things in life, ain't that right? ;-)

hotspot DIM SUM

I know I've spoken about one of my favorite type of food before; Dim Sum. This yum yum food in combination with great company, is the best formula for enjoyment. Last friday, I brought my friend Zahra along. Who never had "dim-summed' before. Here is some foodporn to give you an impression of my top 4 -because 3 and 5 are too damn mainstream ;-)- of favorite dim sum meals.

outfit NOT A ROBOT

During my winter break I got the opportunity to spend some time with friends, friends who I have been neglected quite a while. I really enjoyed myself during this week, it was so nice to be relieved from worries concerning school and work. Another part I always seem to appreciate about breaks? Waking up late. I really feel rested and I'm all set for a whole month of studying (well I might be recalling this phrase really soon). Here are some pictures my friend Jessica and I took last thursday, when we were wandering around our beautiful city; the city of Amsterdam.

When my friend Zahra -who's lately frequently the girl behind the camera- bumped into these Venetian masks, she came up with this great idea to use them for a little photo shoot. I really love the way these pictures turned out, that's why I love to share them with you.
