Drink like the Irish, one second you're high as a kite

Oh, how I wish I've worn these heels with a midi skirt. My black with white little dots midi skirt, though the combination I made up didn't really worked. It came out old-looking. Now I'm looking at this outfit, I wish I had ditched the hat and perhaps worn an other colour jeans. Never ever going to wear this look again.

Anyhow, I've had a lovely weekend. Went to an illegal party last Friday and went to bed pretty late and woke up around 2 PM. Stayed in bed till late in the afternoon and went out for diner that evening. After diner we went to the Museum night (as in the museums were open from 10 PM till 2 AM), which was nice. And that all with my boyfriend. I'm always a bit sad when lovely weekends like these come to an end and the work week starts again.

I'm wearing a TBA mushroom blazer, River Island top, vintage hat, Levi's ID curve jeans, necklace was a gift, Mulberry satchel and Fendi heels.

Fendi

The ones who read my blog for a while now, knows I'm someone who can't pass up a good shoe. In this case an amazingly good shoe. The brown leather is almost wood-like and so wonderful detailed. It looks so delicate. That the heel is green is a nice touch, something unexpected and gives it a playful feeling. Perhaps the best thing of the entire shoe. I'm also very pleased that the hardware is gold, something that fits with everything in my wardrobe.

I'm wearing all of my favourite items here. My favourite jacket, scarf, dress, bag, necklace and booties. The tights not so much, but I kind of re-found them somewhere in a drawer and thought it was a nice add. Plus I do think that they're genius. I'm a huge London lover and these tights with the Big Ben on it kind of shows my love for that city. It's also pretty funny that when I'm in London, tourists, mostly Dutch people, think that I'm British or Irish and talk about my hair colour and skin tone out loud. When I'm standing right next to them! That's something typically Dutch. Always nice to see their shocked faces when I start talking Dutch to them and say that my hair colour isn't real.

I'm wearing an Urban Outfitters army jacket, Esprit scarf, Pins & Needles lace body dress, Henry Holland Big Ben tights, DV anklebooties and Mulberry satchel

Some moments of the day were only half awake...

This is kind of an old outfit. Made these pictures in the beginning of October, but never got around to post it. It's so weird looking at these pictures where I'm summerly dressed, while it's now pretty cold. Anyhow, this sure isn't one my favourite outfits and somehow because of these pictures I like it even less. I think it's because of the belt. It looks like too much around the waist in combination with my knotted top. Though I do love my floral skirt, bright red bag and amazing wedges! The wedges are pretty darn high, yet pretty comfortable.

I'm wearing a Dahlia asymmetrical blouse, belt and maxi skirt, Topshop floppy hat, Urban Outfitters satchel and Lanvin wedges

Watercolors, French girls, sociopathy

Finally, some new stuff. Here are some girlie watercolors I did tonight.


I've been in a big drawing rut for a while now, but forced myself to draw while I watched this French 70's movie, "Don't Deliver Us From Evil." I've wanted to get away from just drawing girls, but the two main actresses were too cool looking not to draw. Here are some Post-It drawings of Anne (Jeanne Goupil), a long-limbed sociopathic school girl. She's not always this deadpan in the movie.


Also, a warning- while this movie is interesting to watch, I had a hard time getting through it because of some disturbing themes, and some really horrible treatment towards animals. I really don't deal well with that type of thing. So if you're sensitive about that sort of thing, maybe skip this one. Part of me would like to re-watch the movie and do some more drawings of the other main actress as well, but I'm not sure that'll happen anytime soon.



Here's one more watercolor, which I saved for last because it's pretty sloppy and I didn't want it at the top with the other stuff.


Thanks again for coming back!

I saw the mirror staring back at me and it told me I’m a self machine

So I think it's getting kind of obvious that I like longer lengths. For me it's the perfect way to cover up my legs, since I'm not too much a fan of them, and still be bare legged. I also really like how you can down dress this dress without looking too casual. You don't even need too much accessories with it! Perfect for me, because mostly I only wear necklaces. This time I didn't even wore accessories, since I didn't thought it was necessary. Ok, except for the belt, but that came with the dress! Here is my last Dahlia post, I would really mean a lot to me if you'd leave a comment!

My boyfriend made these photo's and I'm so pleased with it! Also how he has edit them. It was really awkward (for me actually) to make these photo's, since it was the first time he did this for me. I always feel so stupid when I'm making blog photo's, especially when people are walking/driving by and when someone makes them for the first time, I feel extra stupid! But at the end, when I'm having nice photo's, I'm really happy. So it's all worth it. I think I'm going to ask him to do this again.

I'm wearing an Asos cardigan, Dahlia midi dress and belt, DV anklebooties and my beloved Mulberry Alexa satchel.

Sneak preview

Normally I don't really like previews, but this time I couldn't wait. This is one shot of the photo's we made for my last post as a Dahlia Girlfriend. I'm kind of sad that it's over now, but I've had a wonderful time doing it! Anyhow, I'll leave you with this photo and hopefully I can show the rest tomorrow. Have a nice Sunday!

New in

Here are the new items I've gotten recently including birthday presents (meaning shoes!). I was actually planning to post this sooner, but hey, sometimes you just can't! Now I need to do something for my blog, that I can hopefully show you this Friday. The weather just needs to cooperate with me, which till now doesn't!

Urban Outfitters satchel, Pins and Needles cream lace dress, Jeffrey Campbell Lita's and lace-up cut-out wedges, Cooperative bird cage skirt and yellow lace blouse, Staring At Stars cardigan and Vaudeville & Burlesque striped dress.

I'm so happy with the Jeffrey Campbell Lita's! Finally I managed to get my hands on them after 2 years of searching. I actually wanted them in black, but it never seems meant to be. Anyhow, I don't mind that they're not black, because I still adore them!


I got this 'Wreck this Journal' from my boyfriend for my birthday with the intention to make me less of a perfectionist. I can't sketch when I'm drawing, it has to be detailed right away.

And now more shoes... I've got a bit out of control.


Asos platform t-bar sandals.


Dolce Vita lace up booties.
