Get me some Inspiration!

As far as I know. Music works inspiring and as for me an old music listener, I share you one of my favorite Saturday-noon music.
Ready to get back to work with my clothes design. And for you.
Enjoy the music from BOB DYLAN (vinyl 1:30 min). Have a nice Day!

Merveilleuse

This year, since September my life has changed. It's something totally different as I'm used to. I'm realizing my dream as a designer; "Be like Cinderella: start each day with a dose of dreaming. And someday your dream will come true." That's the reason why I'm studying fashion.
For this schoolyear I need to design a collection based on a historical period, I've chosen for the French Revolution, better said "Le Directoire, 1790-1799".
We need to design a historical costume what the people wore and a collection what people can wear nowadays based on the history, you can compare it with famous designers collections like Alexander McQueen, Dior, John Galliano, who has token inspiration and ideas based on a historical period.
It's really exciting for me to start this project but scary at the same time. It demands a lot of work and energy, but for me it feels like a hobby so I do like spending my free time on creating clothes (:
Before I can start my collection, it's easier to make a board/collage where you can focus on while designing. So I made my collage with everything that inspired me, colors, architecture, ...
My collection will be finished in Spring 2013.

Strike a pose

Last weekend, was AMAZING! The first time ever, if I don't count my friends or playing clothing store when I was a little child "I was actually a real stylist" ^^

Vintage Whitney Houston makeup + vintage Madonna styling + Salt N Pepa dance moves 

Look of the day! Vintage and all stars..

I can't wait for the weekend to begin!

I had a wonderful weekend! Saturday I went out. It was so hot in Brussels, that clubbing wasn't in the program, so we only went for drinks. Outside with friends. Fun guarantied.I wore a vintage yellow transparent skirt, with a mint green top from H&M. My hair in 70's style.

The day after, we decided to go to a lake. Far far away from Brussels. Nearby the village Chimay, which is known for their beers! And those beers, called Chimay itself are very good and tasty! Hihi. The name of the lake is: Lac de l'eau d'heur.

We were there the whole day, from the morning till the night. We swimmed, ate barbeque and relaxed. Because we didn't slept at all the night before, and there we were. Enjoying the heat and the sun. It was amazing how in one time or in one day you can really say, "I love life" !! 

Someone had it before you

To start .. I think every one of us. Now in this decade Vintage is Back! loves it. We go back in time.
In the city of Brussels (1000) we can find the famous vintage market. Place du jeu-de-balle.
We all like clothes, accessory,  furniture's, just stuff to have like back then. I'll give you a little tour..
Every day of the week from 8 am till 1 pm there's a market. So if it's a nice weather you can move your ass over there to be the first one who's away with the most beautiful piece! I really like to go there, I can be myself, where I'm good at, to shop and to cut-prices .. Everything you can think of what is vintage you'll find it. In the side-streets (rue Blaes or rue Haute) you'll have the extra charming vintage shops ;) which is very nice to go at and to have that special smell. You just have fun that before noon past so fast by and my hands are always full where I a spend maximum € 30 ($ 37.50)

Can you already feel and think what I'm feeling and thinking now by seeing back these pictures. Yes yes. Butterflies ! You can dress yourself like a little mermaid or like Pocahontas! Who doesn't like it, to come out with the child in yourself. You are with your friends or even alone it can be pleased. Enjoying, laughing, walking, searching and yelling "LOOK WHAT I'VE FOUND". To have a good time while your in Brussels. Go over there. After the market, there's always a place available where a fresh drink or a lunch can be fulfilling after keeping the eyes open from left to right and to run from here to there. It can be tiring after hours. But it's fun!

Best^^

Friday night.. Didn't know what to do. Being bored and than you call that friend .. Your best Friend. "Let's go".
We decided to dress kinda the same, with lace-fabric.
Is it going to be 'Bohemian' 'Gypsy' 'Rock' 'Sweet' - Style. You can it already imagine : Hat - smokey eyes - Adorable cool. And you know if you're together with you Best Friend(s) it's just FUN! While doing the make-up, dance around music, being just A GIRL. But while all doing the clothes-makeup-shoes-hair and nails thing, you just realize how happy you are with the smiling! The Key moments in life of happiness! Sharing thoughts about everything from small too big subjects. Every single one of us needs it, times a time, to forget others things and do only what makes you happy.

After reached the finish . Hair-makeup-nails-clothes done.
Bubbles!

Look of the day or should I say look of the night in Brussels !
My friend is wearing a nice lace dress with lovely boots.

Pimp-Up

At a vintage shop I found a suede purple waistcoat for € 2 ($ 2.6) but it looked so boring. Than I had some ideas to Pimp-up the waistcoat.

Outfit on a day in Brussels

My Lovely friend came to visit me in Brussels and I was soooo searching for an outfit to wear and it's difficult to find if you'll open my closet :)
But I found it and decided to wear ::

A pink skirt which I bought in Rome with a t-shirt of 'Gun and Roses' (H&M), a jeans jacket (H&M) and a pair of white vintage boots.

At the Bowler Sessions III

As you see I took a picture in front of the mirror with my nickname dressed in vintage-streetstyle at a party The Bowler Sessions. Wearing an 80's shirt (vintage-shop Episode), an old sweater for men (Pierre Cardin € 5 at the vintage market) and not to forget a hat which I stole from a friend just to take the picture..

And here we have the Heart-it girl... (: Lovely glasses !

The hand made jewelry from the Alma-Raheem Collection (want to see more click here)

More pictures soon when I'll receive them :))

Need to pack a gift ?

It's my friend's B-day and I bought some Vintage shoes for him. Too late to post a picture because it's already packed and don't want to destroy the beautiful-self-made-packing !
The vintage shop doesn't has packing, so I needed to find something original to put the shoes in. I took a carton I don't use. But it looked drab! Just the brown drab color .. Baaah! You can imagine what I mean.

Started by using a piece of a shirt which I teared up and I used it for the bow around the carton. It still looked bored and it needed color. Colors are missing and that's important! 

Where to find colors? Idea :: press-cuttings !!!

He's into vintage (like I am) and I searched for cuttings he might like! 

And the present is packed !!! You like?

THE SHOE(S)!

Day 2

So and again I did some vintage shopping ! ...
One heavy-full bag. I love it and enjoyed it. Found some very nice clothes .. 5 items for only 38 € ($ 40). The vest you can see in a earlier post (the large brown one). But here is a Look-Of-The-Day with a leather marine vintage hat I bought made in 1926. I wonder who wore it and for what it was used and which profession back then ! But I really like the style.

These are my buys. Good buys.. :)

A new-vintage buy! Day 1

Ok ok I know.. Winter is done.. Springtime is on his way and I felt in love with this (only can find em once) vintage jacket!! Got my eye on it and bought it for 10 € ($ 13)!! Another reason why I love Brussels. You'll always find that little second hand stores Nobody knows about!!! 

A song. Which I love sooooo much and which says that you'll never know what would happen. Only live day by day and by the experiences you make in life.
My Grandmother always sang this when something was wrong or when we asked questions where no answer could be possible but only "Que Sera Sera".
Enjoy!

Stripes & Gold

Wauw!!!!
It was just Wonderful day! Even I had/received some bad news.. But "Hey, it's still goes on".. 
Look what I've got today!! A Bargain? Yes !!! I bought this Amazing shirt on Facebook! Yupp.. Saying it right:: There's a page/group on facebook where you can sell or buy clothes, called "vide dressing". How cool is that! Think the expensive one, is a bag of Miu Miu, only for 200 € ( $180). And I bought this one for 8 € ($6), VINTAGE!!

Silk and Golden bottoms.
What you think?

I wore it (fast fast) with a bleach blue Diesel jeans. 

What's in my wardrobe?

Do you know when you have a friend over and all that sudden you are standing in front  of the wardrobe or mirror in the bathroom changing clothes .. All that girly stuff between the gossips  ! x. 

Check out some pieces ::
