LILY ALLEN AND PLEATS.

First of all here's some music for ya. I have to say that I seriously love this cover Lilly Allen did. It makes me so happy.

I saw Lily Allen live last summer. She was actually really good. I never expected here to be good live. But she was. It was a great show.

Now on to today's outfit:

Accessorize beret, Vero Moda top, Warehouse skirt, H&M leggings, Bijenkorf leggings.

The top actually has a waterfall collar, but I rolled the collar so it looked like this.

Now I'm off to bed. Trying to think of some cool things for my art project.

SLACKING.

Hey there people,

I never thought this would actually happen to me, but for a change I did take outfit photos. But I slacked in posting them. So here you go.

Thursday:

Sutherland blouse, Zara dress, H&M leggings, Bijenkorf boots.

I can't for the life of me remember what I did that day. I went to school. And well, there's one thing I remember. And what the heck, we all need a laugh from time to time, so here it is:

I went to the gym at wednesday evening. Zumba, if you wanted to know. Anyway, after I came home I wanted to get the dirty clothing out of my bag and came to the conclusion that I left almost everything at the gym. Pants, bra and well, everything. So thursday, during my free time in between classes, I went to the gym to pick them up. Just imagine how stupid I felt having to ask for my "pants". I'm just glad the lady from the gym was behind the desk, and not a man.

So far for my exciting life.

On to friday:

scarf from a turkish bazar, H&M shirt, vintage belt, warehouse skirt, H&M tights, Graceland shoes.

I had to dress casual today, because I had musical rehearsals directly after school. And after the rehearsals I went home to have dinner. At 9 PM I went to a friend, who moved to another house. I love housewarmings. What I love even more is the fact that I didn't have to get up the next morning until 10 AM. And really, after weeks of having to get up at 6.30 AM 10 AM is goooood!

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Oooh and Aaahh.

I haven't really got a lot I'd like to tell you. My life just isn't all that exciting.

I just wanted to show off the boots.

This is when you go "oooh" and "aaaahhh" and start drooling.

Dress unknown from a sample sale, H&M tights, Bijenkorf boots.

Thanks to my puppy eyes, I convinced my dad that my friend and I should make our workspace from our attic. It's going to be really cool.
It's got beautiful lighting, one large table for our sewing machines, mannequins, notice boards on the wall to pin inspiration to, and a clothing rack to hang the finished clothes. Oh, and some storage space, but there should be plenty.

BOUDOIR.

My art assignment at school is to draw/paint a stillife. I chose the theme "boudoire/burlesque". These are some shots of items I own that I made. Ofcourse this is not all. Among these were a bustier, shoes, more ferfume, jewelry, etc.

I've always really liked the glamour of burlesque/boudoir. Even as a little child. And as I grow up I find myself guilty of buying burlesque (inspired) items.

NEW BOOTS!

I just wanted to show you a quick, fugly webcam shot of my new boots, because I'm so happy with them!

Btw; don't mind the double chin.

GETTING OLD.

I wore a casual outfit today. Because I just felt like it.

Oh, my new jumpsuit is going to be delivered tomorrow! Excited to see if it fits me. I don't think I'll be able to take any outfit photos, because I have to work from 8 AM until 6 PM and I have to go to a fancy dinner at 7 PM.

Didi dress, H&M dress as top, H&M leggings, black straps around my boots.

Here's a little something for you. I call this photo "Hi, I'm Rachel, I used to be lean, but as you can see I'm not that lean anymore".

I'm off to a birthday party now! It's going to kill me. I'm getting old, I'm telling ya! I can't do that anymore, the going to bed at 3 AM and get up at 6.30.

SINGING THE BLUES

I know it's been ages ago since I posted an outfit photo, so here's one for you! I wore this today, but took the photo last night when I was picking my outfit.
I'm sorry for the crappy photo, but it was dark, I lost my remote (found it again!) and well, it's too god damn rainy outside.

Zu+elements dress worn as vest, Warehouse dress.

I decided that I shouldn't wear so much H&M. Because well, the quality isn't superb, everyone's wearing it and that should be reason enough to not own too many H&M items. I should invest more in pretty clothing, so know I'm addicted to marktplaats (dutch ebay lookalike) in the hope I'll find some really cheap, pretty clothing.
