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.

Ripped!

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...

Picture of the Zara jeans will follow...

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!)

H&M Trend top '08

Balenciaga S/S '08

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

Tag!

I just got tagged by This Chick's Got Style, so here it goes!

Rules
1. respond and rework: answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own. I have replaced the question what have you been dreaming about last night with what has been your best designer buy so far?

2. tag eight other un-tagged people.
So far I have tagged:

Questions
What is your current obsession?

Shirt dresses & playsuits (jumpsuits, onesies, whatever you want to call 'em!)

What is your weirdest obsession?

Sushi definately - I just have to eat sushi on a weekly basis or I'll go crazy.

What are you wearing today?

Black jeans legging, simple black canvas shoes, my new panter top which I love, and a black long cardigan - it's a study outfit! Nice & comfy.

Why is today special?

Today is not special at all! I have a huge deadline so I'm naturally updating my blog all day long. See my profile about this specific behaviour.

What would you like to learn to do?

I would love love LOVE to learn how to make my own clothes. Next to that, I would love to learn to speak French fluently as it would greatly enhance my job options...

What’s for dinner today?

Pasta with broccoli :)

What are you listening to right now?

Other people studying, people unpacking, packing, drinking, eating, walking, making a lot of sighs, in other words, I'm in the Uni library today...

What is your favorite weather?

Hot summer weather, a lot of sun!

What is on your bedside table?

A few cute vintage vases, my Nokia N95 8GB mobile which I ♥, two little cute candles, and often a Vogue or two.

What is your most challenging goal right now?

My most challenging goal right now is finding a job in September! Hello world, here I am, in the middle of the crisis... joy! Also, I'm trying to get into this internship in Israel/Palestine territories which is also very challenging as only 15 Europeans will be selected!

What do you think about the person who tagged you?

I think she is nice! I've just discovered her blog and I think it is lovely, it is always nice to go and look at her posts, and I often write a response :) Or in Unfille-Unstyle language, a 'fashion statement' hihi.

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?

Hmmm either London or somewhere on the beach where it is sunny :)

Favorite vacation spot?

Depends what I'm looking for, for shopping I love London or NYC, for rest I'd say somewhere in the Bahamas? And for adventure I'll go for a roadtrip through Australia.

What would you like to have in your hands right now?

The Chanel 2.55 black with gold hardware medium yesssssahhh!

What would you like to get rid of?

The hole in my hand, but on the other hand - noooo I guess not.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?

London to do some power shopping :)

Which language do you want to learn?

Japanese! Onegai-shimasu! (Please!)

What has been your best designer buy so far?

I bought a vintage Balmain bag for 2 pounds, a few weeks ago a Viktor & Rolf scarf for 25 euros and last week vintage Balenciaga sunglasses for 30 euros. I love eBay!

Who do you want to meet in person?

Bill Clinton, I would like to ask him about the foreign policy during his Presidency. And come to think about it, I would love to meet Obama too. The other person I wanted to meet, I've already actually met: Carla du Ponte of the Yugoslavia tribunal.

One thing that you would snitch out of someone’s closet, with no regrets?

Fashionology's beautiful black blazer with the amazing shoulders ♥

What’s the favorite piece of clothing in your own closet?

My Urban Outfitters navy ditsy floral dress of the 2008 summer collection. I was in the US this summer, but they did not sell it over there, so I ordered it in NYC on the UK site. It was so expensive but worth every penny. Here a picture of the dress on Alexa Chung:



What is your dream job?

Working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Defense or for the United Nations. I wouldn't mind working overseas either :)
