Contrast

Today the details about my outfit for the Karl Lagerfeld opening! Because it was a festive occasion, time to get the skirts out. This golden one from Essentiel was just perfect! I wasn't sure what the dresscode was, but everytime I'm invited to such an event,  I'm very stunned by the fact that everybody is dressed quite casual. That's why I combined my skirt with this more sporty T-shirt, what created a nice contrast. And I was actually very glad with the result... The shoes were a rediscovery. I bought them 2 years ago in New York, but never wore them... until now! What do you guys think about the result? 

Outfit: skirt Essentiel - top Zara - shoes Forever 21 - necklace Anne Zellien - bracelet & Other Stories - watch Festina 

Location: Stadsfeestzaal Antwerp

Marant madness at H&M

Hi ladies and a few gents! 

Yes yes, I was one of the crazy persons that went queuing for the new collaboration from H&M. This time they had the honor to work with Isabel Marant. At 6 o'clock I was present at their shop in Gent. But I was not the only one, as already 13 persons were in front of me! And believe me: I had three awful hours, standing there in the rain and cold, totally unprepared. There were people with magazines, books, coffee... to kill the time, but how could I know, being a rookie in this kind of stuff. On top of that, there was a lot of tension as the hours passed. Everybody was discussing his plan how to get the pieces they wanted. Some divided the tasks: one had to look after the skirt and take all sizes, the other one at the leather pants... You will not believe it, but I in fact got a little scared. Will some women really push and fight over some clothes? I was a fan of the collection, but that doesn't mean I would really 'kill' somebody for a pants. But when the doors opened at 9, it became clear that you just don't have the time to fight, as in 11 minutes the whole collection was sold out. 

And for my male followers: believe it or not, there were also 4 men standing in line for their favorite pieces, because Isabel was so kind to also sign some creations for you guys...

Here a sneak peek of what I got and outfit posts will follow soon!!! Do you like what I purchased?

Getting rid of old habits

You're a bracelet fan, or you're not... That's something that strikes me among my friends. For me it's definitely the first option. I like big eye-catching bracelets that have that je ne sais quoi effect. This time I found my new favorite at & Other Stories. You also have a black variant, but I was more fund of the silver one, although I actually prefer wearing gold. But I think that change can be good, and that you don't always have to stick to old habits, because this can sometimes disappoint you...  This rule applies to fashion, just like it applies to life.
