Playsuit

So I received my Topshop playsuit today... and its too BIG! Ugh... the lower part is crazyyyy too big :( I hate returning things...

BTW the Richard Avedon exposition was amazing!! I recommend it to all the Dutchies here!

Richard Avedon

Tomorrow I will treat myself to a visit to the Van Gogh "Colours of the Night" exposition in the Van Gogh Museum and after that the FOAM - THE photography museum of Amsterdam. I've been wanting to visit the Richard Avedon (one of my favourite photographers!) exhibition for a while now, and if I don't do it tomorrow, I will probably be too late again (I was so pissed when I found out that I was too late for the Viktor & Rolf exhibition in Utrecht - actually, I am still annoyed)

I am totally in love with Avedon's photography. Some of his best:

Today is btw the best day ever, this morning I had an internship interview at the Clingendael Institute for International Relations (which is a wellknown research institute working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and I just got a call that I am accepted and that I start on tuesday! Which is a HUGE thing for me since I would love love love to work for the Institute in the future, and an internship is a great first step so to say :)

To rip it, or not to rip it - that's the question.

So today I bought a pair of amazing Zara jeans with zip that I want to rip like the H&M trend ripped jeans (see pic) - only thing is, I don't want to ruin it... so if you know how to do this, please share it with me! Do I use like scissors? Hmmmm...

Sorry about the bad quality, next time I will make scans.

70s, 80s & 90s

I love this hippy ad from Forever 21!

Come to think about it, I love the whole mix of 70s, 80s and 90s fashion that is in fashion right now - you would think it to be an irreconcilable combination, but it works!

Balenciaga Love ♥

I just bought this top which reminds me so much of the Balenciaga S/S '08 collection but without the big puffy shoulders! (*with the shoulders it would have been absolute heaven!)

I just CANNOT wait to wear it on my short jeans with my new vintage Balenciaga sunglasses! I need sun for that though! :)
