Event // Stijn Helsen & Francis Ferent Opening @ Maasmechelen Village

Last Thursday, I got invited to two new store openings at Maasmechelen Village, the outlet shopping place to be if you're around: Stijn Helsen and Francis Ferent. 

Lets start with Stijn Helsen. His name might not ring a bell just yet, but this Belgian (born and raised) fella has quite a résumé: after studying at L'Instituto Marangoni in Milan, he was a freelancer at Vivienne Westwood and Valentino. Afterwards, he contributed to designing the Spiderman and Pirates Of The Caribbean costumes and provided A-list celebs such as Robbie Williams, Hugh Grant, Matt Dillon, Keanu Reeves and Lenny Kravitz of an outfit. Quite something, huh?

After opening his flagship stores in Hasselt, he now turns to Maasmechelen Village to run an outlet store. I was very honored to be a part of it. It's always great to see a Belgian designer expanding and developing his brand. Our Belgian designers don't always get the credit they deserve.

Outfit // Think Pink, Part II

The sun is shining now and then today, so I decided to ignore the fact that it's still winter and bring some spring into my life. Yes, I'm wearing the denim shirt again. I'm so in love with it - It's comfy and so versatile, you could create a dozen of outfits with it. I was experimenting with my clothes this morning and I kinda liked the denim / powder pink combo. Plus, it was the perfect excuse to take out my Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch again. It was a birthday present from my aunt last November, but I've only had the chance to wear it twice due to the bad weather.  I also just realised that, besides the bag, every item I'm wearing is from H&M. How I love that store! 

My cold is slowly going away - After being forced to stay awake the previous nights, I was able to breathe again last night and get a good night sleep. Just in time, since there are some fun events coming up the next weeks.

I also got a first preview of the new lay out of the blog and I'm SO excited. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to show you! If everything goes well, it should be online by Friday. I'll keep you updated!

Detail // Bracelets

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to wear my jewelry more often. For some odd reason, I always buy jewelry, but never seem to wear them. I'm a big fan of mix and match, so I decided to wear three of my favorite bracelets together. I just hope that wearing them together won't cause too many scratches, especially on the Hermès bracelet. That one's sacred to me. 

What do you think? Hit or miss?

Outfit // Powder Pink

Hi everyone!

Notice anything different? Apart of wearing my contacts again - I do still wear my glasses, though - I decided to try something different with my hair. Inspired by Mary-Kate Olsen in this picture, I decided to try out her hairdo ... And I kinda like the result! Do you? It's also the perfect way to hide the left side of my head / hair, which I shaved last Spring and is growing back now, making it a total disaster.

This kimono-like blouse is one of my favorite pieces in my closet. Even if I like leather, skulls and everything 'rock-ish', I still am a girl, so I like girly things from time to time too. ;) The clutch was a birthday gift and I never got around to wear it, until now (obviously).

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this hairdo. :)
