Pandas are evil.

What's on my mind: hats with bear ears. Aren't they the cutest?? I noticed them first at topshop.com, but then I also spotted them at Zara and River Island. I'm thinking about a DIY - just cutting off the ears of a teddy bear and attaching them at a vintage hat... I'll keep you posted!

Make Me Over

Hi everyone!

As you may have noticed, I haven't been blogging since May. This is because I have been busy, and because I made a backpacking trip with my parents and little brother. We took the Transiberia Express (a train from Moscow to Beijing) and travelled around in China. It was an amazing experience, and I've learned a lot. I can write my name in Chinese!

Anyway, I'm back home and back to school now.

September always seems more like a new year than January does, and with a new school year come new beginnings. That's why I thought it was appropriate to change the design of my blog. Please tell me what you think of my blog make over!

I also have a new style muse, a model who manages to look fashion forward on the runway and off duty. This blue-eyed blonde from Belgium does know about misfortune; in 2006 she got hit by a car and broke almost every bone in her body. But after her recovery, she became greater than ever, and now has walked for Chanel, Givenchy and Prada, and booked campaigns at DKNY Jeans and Mulberry. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Hanne Gaby Odiele!

The Pretty Reckless has fast become one of my favourite bands. Their music is awesome and Taylor's voice is beautiful!

Softly Spoken

I've been very into soft, pastel colours and floral prints, as you can see from these three outfits:

Shorts: Bershka, top: H&M, shoes: Converse All Stars, necklace: Jewelz, denim shirt and tights: vintage.

Dress: H&M, belt, tights and necklace: vintage.

Top and skirt: H&M, necklace: Six, jacket: vintage Dior, tights and scarve worn as belt: vintage.
A few weeks ago I went to a beach where there were lots of small beach houses. They were painted in all these pretty pastel colours, and I think these images capture perfectly my dressing mood.

Echoes fade and memories die

I haven't been in the posting mood lately, but now I've got so much inspiration and things to share that my head nearly explodes! Okay, I'll take it easy, first things first. I made a lot of outfit pictures last week, but I think I'm going to divide them over a few posts. Here's the first one:

Denim cut offs: Only, dotted tights and necklace: vintage, top: pa:nuu, army jacket: Zara.

When I was in Bucharest, Romania, I saw some pretty amazing graffiti and street art.

My new obsession: art tattoos. Seriously, how cool is that?

Come on, cowboy!

The cowboy/country girl mood is having a moment this spring. Yesterday, I watched Brokeback Mountain (that movie is phenomenal) and it came to me that it actually really matched the D&G spring '10 show. Lots of faded denim, leather shirts and leather belts, cowboy boots and hats, denim and flannel shirts... All accompanied by a great setting and wonderful actors. You can already see most pieces by D&G in cheap versions in stores and on the street. I've already tried on denim dresses by H&M and Zara, and you can find cowboy boots everywhere. Denim shirts can be thrown over anything, and white, embroidered dresses look great with a leather belt tied around your waist. To complete the look, just add a pair of aviators and tie a cute scarf around your neck. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find the perfect cowboy hat...

Life and lessons in Romania

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Suceava, Romania, while writing this post. Tommorow, I'll travel by train to Bucharest and I'll stay there for a few more days. I'll be flying home on Monday. It has been a lot of fun these two weeks, and I've learned a lot. But because pictures tell you more than words, here are a few pictures I made:

Romanian graffiti

Romanian food

Inside a church

traditional Romanian fashion

Something completely different; I absolutely adore the jewellery collection Tom Binns made inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Admit it; you would love to find these pieces in a rabbit hole!
