Knee high skirts

A few weeks ago I went for a cosy shopping afternoon with my mom. We started our tour as usual at the Essentiel store, one of my favorite Belgian brands. There I immediately fell in love with this skirt. The skirts from Essentiel are just the perfect fit for me and just look at that print... It was love at first sight! There is also a shorter version, but lately I'm just a big fan of skirts that are at knee height. On the pictures below I combined this piece with a simple white blouse, so that all the attention goes to the skirt. Actually I bought a blue blouse with it, but that day it was just too hot for long sleeves ;) What do you guys think of this outfit?

What's your park? #ivypark

Beyoncé did it again… In the exact same week where she released her new album Lemonade, I received my package with Ivy Park clothes. Coincidence? I don't think so! Queen B strikes again! 

Ivy Park is the partnership brand between B and Sir Philip Green. It merges fashion-led design with technical innovation, creating a new kind of performance wear. The collection exists of modern essentials for both on and off the field. And that, I really like. The clothes are perfect to go to the gym, but on the other hand you can also wear them casually, for example on a jeans with a nice blazer on top of it. Beyoncé's clothing line is simple but with the exact amount of sophistication. Let's face it: Queen B is back, and ready to attack! 

MOMU: Foot Print + Game Changers

A few days ago, the new exhibition at the MoMu of Antwerp (the fashion museum) opened her doors: "Game Changers: Reinventing the 20th century silhouette". Until the middle of August you have the chance to visit this exposition that has as a main focus the work of Christóbal Balenciaga, who changed the fashion spectrum in the middle of the twentieth century by creating wide and huge silhouettes which led to a totally different architectural volume in fashion that was never seen before! From then on, fashion was looked at from a totally different perspective, which put an end to the area of the hourglass effect (hurray!). A lot of other designers followed this trend, and some of their designs are also exhibited in Antwerp: Gabrielle Chanel, Issey Miyake, Comme des Garçons , Ann Demeulemeester... 

The fashion museum always creates a beautiful setting that leads to a unique experience. Below you can find some pictures of their previous exhibition "Foot Print: the tracks of shoes in fashion" to give you an idea what to expect. If you are a fashion lover, and sincerely interested in the history of fashion, the MoMu is definitely a place you should visit. Just make a day trip out of it and combine it with an afternoon of shopping... I'm sure I will do it that way! ;)
