Shark Attack Loves... // Rihanna For River Island

I have to admit that I was kinda sceptical when I found that Rihanna would design a collection for River Island. There are so many celebs trying to make it in the fashion bizz, but only few succeed. Butttt... I was happily surprised when I saw Rihanna's debut show during London Fashion Week, I must say.

The main reason why I love her collection is because it looks like Riri kept two types of women in mind while designing: a woman who is more in touch with her feminine side and the bad ass grungy type of gal. Those who have seen the collection will know what I mean; it's not that hard to put the designs in one of these two categories. Another personal hit? The mix of different kind of colors, prints and fabrics: black, red, yellow, beige, flowers, tie-dye fishnet, see through... We all have at least one piece we'd love to have in our closet, admit it! 

I'll probably have to attend some extra pilates classes to look good in Riri's designs -- did you see those leg splits? Dayum! -- but I'll definitely be at the River Island-store on March 5th (if my schedule allows it). I can already see myself strolling around some festival in those asymmetrical dresses, combined with some bad ass combat boots. And I adore the cropped tops with the high neck. So nineties and I'm lovin' it! Can.Not.Wait.

You can relive the fashion show by watching the video below. I also managed to get my hands on a 'Behind The Scenes'-video and a vid that recaps all the highlights of Riri's River Island adventure!

Do let me know what you think about the collection. #Curious ;)

Outfit // Pink, It's My Favorite Crayon

I'm so glad to pick up outfit shooting again, I've missed it so much! I'm not sure where to put this outfit... Casual chic? Sporty chic? Anyway, I mixed and matched a bit and I must say that I'm very pleased about the result. 

A while ago, my mom forced me to stock up on some winter sweaters, since they're nowhere to be seen in my closet. I stopped by at H&M to pick up this sweater, which I also got in mint and black. I've been switching between these three colors all winter now and I'm sure that people around here are thinking that I don't own any other clothes. As for the cap: I used to wear it all the time when I was a teenager. Lets just say that I have ZERO interest in Valentine's Day, which happens to be... today. I do, however, wish you and you loved one a nice day. 

And as for the title... I got inspired by Aerosmith's Pink for this one.

Beauty // Make Up: Dia De Los Muertos

I had no idea what so ever in which category I had to place this post, but since I'm wearing make up, I decided to go for the beauty section. My best friends and I went to celebrate 'carnaval', which is not to be compared as the ones in Brazil and Venice. In Belgium and Holland, people get dressed up in funny and goofy outfits -- no thongs or beautiful masks around here. We decided to go to Sittard, because the Dutch people take the celebration of carnaval to a whole different level. I know definitely know that carnaval is not my thing at all, but it was nice to see everybody's costume and to experience it for once. 

My friends and I got inspired by this post by The Cherry Girl during her trip to Mexico, where she got the awesome opportunity to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos, which can be compared to All Saints' Day here in Europe. Thanks to the help of my talented friend Daniela, we were looking like some damn fine skeletons, if I say so myself. ;) Below are some pictures I snapped with Instagram (username: @Krizia_S)

Inspiration // Pink Fedora

Again, sorry for abandoning the blog. My grandfather passed away 4 days ago, so things are kinda hectic right now. It all happened so sudden and unexpected, but I'm finding comfort in the thought that he probably didn't noticed a thing when he passed away. His heart just... stopped beating. I'm happy and grateful that I got to have him with me for 23 years and that there are tons of memories I have of him.

Anyway, if I found the time to go on my laptop during these busy days, all I did was browse for inspirational pictures -- believe me, you don't want to see any of my outfits right now, but I promise I'll be back soon. 

I stumbled upon the picture above and thought I was looking at Blake Lively at first. Turns out, it's Jennifer from The Native Fox, which quickly has become my new favorite blog. As you all know, there's a 99 % chance that I'll love an outfit that contains black and leather, so this one isn't an exception. But what I love most, is the pink fedora hat, which adds the perfect amount of color to this outfit and seems to have the right shade of pink. In love!

P.S.: If you have some extra 5 seconds left, it would be awesome if you could vote for a friend of mine, who's participating in the Miss Fashion Limburg-competition. All you have to do is like their page here and like her picture here. It would make both of us very happy! Thank you in advance. XOXO
