The intern diaries

hello sweet bloggers and blogreaders, I hope you all have had a great friday so far :)

about a month ago I had an internship (most schools in the Netherlands want every student to do an internship, since it "helps you prepare for you're future") 

So I, being obsessd with fashion and style desperatly wanted a fashion internship. and believe me, it is really hard to find a fashion buisniss that takes interns for only one week. but luckely I could do my internship at a really cute DIY fashion magazine called "knipmode" (translated: sewing fashion)

I had an amazing week. I had to work quite hard and learnt a lot. 

here are some photo's from my internship

"het stoffenhok" the place were they kept all the fabrics

Being an intern
Being a fashion intern is definitly really hard work, The compagny were I did my internship was quite small and therefore I really got to know everyone within the week. I really liked being in a small compagny becouse you got to do a lot of different jobs.

For more information about the magazine, or to just look into it or order one of their patterns click here!



I would reccomend everyone who is looking for a Future in the fasion Internship to do an internship in fashion. You gain a lot of experience and it looks great on you're resume or college aplication!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great friday and have fun tonight

Hotspots in london

It can get quite stormy in London

I've been to London quite a few times and it is one of the most fun city's, definitly if your'e into shopping and fashion! It has basicly every store for every style! so here is a list of my must see's in London. Some of them as obvious as regent street and other hid away coffeeshops and cute little stores!

1. Regent street.
This amazing street as all sorts of shops, café's and restaurants And it is also a lot of fun to vieuw the people shopping (they usually have great style)
Regent streets' website

2. The Brittish museum

An amazing museum if you are into culture. If you are not into culture you should also visit it and have a High thea in the museum's resteurant. Like most of the museums in London, the Brittish museum is free
Brittish museum website





3. Westfield Shopping center
One of the biggest shopping centers in londen, and definitly the best one if you ask me. this Mall has everything a fashionisa needs to spend an entire day! (or more.) The mall has all sorts of fashion shops (from Couture to cheap streetwear.) a lot of cafés and places to eat, and a lot of stands for hair, makeup and nails. Westfield's website

4. Yo! Sushi

Sushi from an assembly line! This place has the most tasty sushi, and you can all get it from an assembly line. after you ate you get charched for the plates you used. (different colourd plates have differnt prices) a great place for every sushi lover! for their restaurants check out Yo! Sushi's website




5. Anthropologie Store 
The anthropologie store has the prettiest dresses and skirts, you can see them on quinn from glee a lot. I love their vintage nature-ish vibe and their stores are really a experience! for shops, go to: the anthropologie website






London is a great city to just walk around and experience a lot of things! You can have lunch in one of the many lunchrooms, or buy a sandwich and eat it in one of their parks. most museums are free, and you will have a great shopping experience. the only downside to London is that it (almost) always rains, so don't expect any heatwaves and bring an umbrella!
I hope you will go there :)

How to dress down a dress

Hi gys and girls.... mostly girls I guess :D
How are y'all today?
I'm having a great start at spring! it has been sunny for over a week now (almost a record time in the Netherlands!!! Alert the media!) so this is a great upportunity to talk about skirts and dresses!
In the netherlands whe have something and it's called "rokjesdag" (littarly translated: skirtsday.)
"rokjesdag" is the first day of the year when it is sunny and warm and for some reason a lot of women decide to put on a dress or skirt that day. So with the weather being what it is, "rokjesdag" is around the corner.
However, most of us have school and are worried a skirt or dress is too dressy for school. Wich is SO NOT TRUE!
I mean I'm not saying you should wear a ballgown for school, but skirts and dresses can be just as casual as jeans. as long as you know what to pair it with!
so here are some ways to wear your skirts or dresses without making it too overdressed:
1.

Pair a pencil skirt with a big comfy sweater or other oversised knitwear with a short lace skirt. to finish it all of: slip into a pair of nude heels and grap a basic brown leather bag.

1. Knitted sweater
2. Brown fossil bag
3. Nude heel
4. lace skirt











2.

Time to steal your boyfriends shirts!!!! this is a trend I saw a lot in istanbul, basicly you just put on an oversized shirt then give it some shape with a belt and finish of with some edgy boots! no worry if the shirt is too short, just ad a simple back skirt!

1. studded belt
2. artsy belt
3. funky boots
4. my boyfriends ralph lauren shirt <3
5. little basic black skirt






3.

a denim jacket is a great way to make under a classy dress. BUT make shure the jacket is tailord really wel! warehouse has great tailord jackets (and dresses too) for really smal people like me :)
( warehouse.com )

1. Anthropologie dress
2. light denim jacket
3. Cutest flats ever!









so for today I also made my own downdressed skirt look!

So, I matched a lace skirt with a denim jacket and a flowerish scarf, I added converse shoes instead of heels cause I felt they made the look a little less adult and a little more playfull

I hope you have a great spring! thanks for stopping by my blog! for more looks please check out my lookbook

If you have any suggestions, or anything else to say feel welcome to leave a comment!

Shoes are boring, wear sneakers!

Hi evereyone, sorry for the long time no see. I was so busy with school and everything I barely had time to take photos.
the other reason why I haven't been posting becouse I was soooo winterdepressed.... the constant rain dripping down the window and freezing cold made it impossible to make some proper photo's with proper clothing... I've basicly been wearing really big sweaters and (don't judge it was REALLY cold) a pair of worn out uggs

but I'm back and it has been kinda sunny, and about 7 degrees. So with my new bought White converse all stars, and a leather jacket I conquered the cold and started making photo's!

 

So, I paired my white Converse with a pair of basic hollister jeans, a blue tanktop and a leather jacket I baught in new york 2 years ago.

 

So becouse I have like no shoulders (figuratively speaking) a big jacket is a great way to give yourself a little shoulder shape :P

 Dear diary.......
I don't only keep a blog but also a diary. It's a great way to keep your memories and sort out your feelings. plus becouse of "the vampire diaries" keeping a diary is totaly hot!

 you can buy all these products

1. blue top and jeans both from: Hollister

2. the jacket is not for sale anymore :(

3. Converse All star shoes in every sneaker store near you
