The MET Gala 2014

Hi Loves,

How is life treating you? We celebrated Freedom yesterday, because it was Liberation day in Holland. It's important to release how privileged we are to life in a free land, that we can be who we are, that we can go were ever we want, that we can be ourself in every kind of way. 

Of course my attention wasn't only by celebrating freedom, there was something else that was on my mind. Obviously I'm talking about the MET gala 2014. The MET gala, also known as the MET ball or the Costume Institute Gala, is a yearly event organized by Anna Wintour. It's such a lovely event, not only because it's a fundraiser, but everybody (actor, designer, model, singer and so on) is making an appearance wearing the most beautiful outfits! This years theme was Charles James, a designer better known as the America's first couturier and it was hosted by one of my favorite celebrities, Sarah Jessica Parker.

 Nobody was wearing a real Charles James, but the dresses and outfit were definitely catwalk-worthy!

I collected my favorite outfits for you. 

What is your favorite outfit? and what do you think of the MET gala?

With Love, J.

Inspiration with Shea Marie from Peace Love Shea.

Hi loves,

How is your weekend? Mine is very busy with work, but tomorrow is my day off. 

I just went through the look-book van Shea Marie (stylist and fashion-blogger) to get some outfit inspiration for tomorrow. She runs this amazing blog www.peaceloveshea.com. I absolutely love her sense of style, she can combine every pattern, fabric or color and she turns it into an awesome, fashionable outfit. She has so much talent and is definitely one of my favorite bloggers. 

I collected some of my favorite outfits for you!

What is your favorite outfit?

With Love, J. 

Topshop is comming to Amsterdam

Hi lovelies,

I have to apologize because this will be just a short post for my Dutchies (or everyone who is going to visit Amsterdam), but I have such incredible news! 

I bet you still remember the day that Topshop announced that they will be opening a shop-in-shop in the Bijenkorf in Amsterdam, right? We were thrilled to finally have a Topshop in Holland even when it was a small one, but this morning during the launch of the Kate Moss for Topshop collection in the Bijenkorf, Topshop announced that they will be opening their own store in Amsterdam! 

This is a dream come true for all us Dutchies.. because lets be honest the shop-in-shop was great news, but an actual store from Topshop is beyond great news.. 

I can't wait for the opening that will be taking place in october!

If you can't wait till October you can already shop online on www.topshop.com

With Love, J.

Inspiration with Victoria Beckham

Hi lovelies,

How is your week so far? Mine is great, I did a lot of shopping and who doesn't love shopping! 

But today it's going to be all about this very inspiring woman - Victoria Beckham.

She is turning 40 today and to celebrate this wonderful woman I wanted to do a post about her. Since I was a little girl I was fascinated by her.. I was a fan of the spice girls (who wasn't?) and we always fought about who was going to be which spice girl. My struggle about which one I wanted to be was always between Baby Spice or Posh Spice. After all these years I can tell you with certainty that Posh Spice definitely won! 

She isn't a spice girl anymore (i'm glad about that) but she turned into a super woman! She is so much more than a football wife or an ex spice-girl. She is an amazing designer, with a beautiful feminine collection. I love her sense of style, it's so elegant and clean. She only works with the most beautiful fabrics and with the most talented people! As you can read I'm a big fan.
I watched a documentary about her on the blog http://www.fashionculturediary.blogspot.it and I really wanted to share this documentary with you because she is such an inspiring person and the documentary will prove how talented she is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICTORIA!

With Love, J.

Roland Mouret x Banana Republic

Hi Lovelies,

Big news flash again! 

You already heard about the collaboration between Alexander Wang and H&M, but there is another great collaboration revealed.. Roland Mouret is going to make a collection for Banana Republic! 

I think this is great news.. You know Roland Mouret right? With the beautiful dresses that makes your body looks fabulous.

The celebs are a huge fan of these dresses and so am I. Off course I don't have a dress from Roland Mouret hanging in my closet, because they cost about €1.500,- and that's a lot for a dress! But this is our change to buy a perfect Roland Mouret piece for an affordable price. 

The designer has made around 30 items for this collaboration with Banana Republic and the price will vary between €36,- and €120,- isn't that great!

The collection will be hanging in the stores (and online) around August this year.. I can't wait!

Are you gonna check out his collection?

With Love, J.
