Comfortable - but fashionable

Sometimes the best outfits are those simple one's..

When you wanna dress comfortable but still look stylish,

you can always go for skinny jeans, easy low boots or sneakers & oversized gilet/vest.

Gilet: Clouds of Fashion
Pants: H&M
Boots: Clouds of Fashion
Bag: Clouds of Fashion
(oh my gosh, some days I wear nothing from my shop,
this day is a total overload haha!)

Necklace: Clouds of Fashion

What I talked about in my last outfitpost, really counts here.

The outfit is simple but with just a colorful bag & lips,

it really doesn't look boring!

Oh gosh, how I love this trend...
Whether you like it or not.. At least this one is gonna keep you warm!
And I'm sure you will not get around the fur-trend this season.

What I was seeking, also for in the Clouds of Fashion-collection,
was FUR - LOT'S OF FUR. And fake ofcourse.
As I am vegetarian, the real thing, is something I will never buy or sell.
Wintertimes are coming and I'm preparing my closet with all sorts of fake furry friends.
The best thing about this trend is: you can never go wrong.
Fur-coats, fur-blazers, fur-bags, fur-keychains,.. fur-ANYTHING.
What I also love about it: every color or print is possible!
So you can go for whatever color you like.
And in winter-times, admit it.. To see or bring color on the streets is a true pleasure!
I hope the pictures give you some inspiration..

After-COFSHOW-blues

My first post in a long time, but will do my best to keep it up this time.
After the Clouds of Fashionshow, it was back to sweatpants & sneakers,
(actually even wore my dads sweater also) for a few days: for the cleaning up.
Everybody likes to believe that it's such a glamorous thing to organize a fashionshow.
And yes, it is.. The night itself. But the days before and after..
Oh gosh.. Almost couldn't find time to shower, let alone find time to pick out clothes.
Anyway, I'm working on a blogpost where I'll tell you all about Clouds of Fashion from the start,
and of course Clouds of Fashion show nr 1 and nr 2!

On Friday, my shop opened again. Finally time to get back into some "routine " and dress up.
(never had a routinous life but hey, a girl can dream)
So what I picked out my closet was a sweater I found at Forever21 a little time ago.
I was waiting for fall to come and let me wear it.. And fall has definitely arrived!

Sweater: Forever21
Skirt: Zara

Bag: Clouds of Fashion

Ring: Clouds of Fashion

My own cloud-necklace: Kim Jewels

Because my feet were still sore and because I knew I was gonna

run up and down the stairs all day, it was a must to have my sneakers on.
I combined the babyblue sweater with a leather skirt, sneakers and pink lips.
One of the trends this winter is COLORS on your lips! Awesome.
Especially for those who like to wear black on black. With a touch of colorful lipstick,
you're good to go and never boring.

Casual days..

Casual days without make-up,
but not without eye-catcher bag!

For those who are still looking for loafers like this,
get your ass to River Island.
Only 25 euro!!!!! And oh-so comfy.
+ big musthave right now!

Little replica Celine-bag from Clouds of Fashion
Shorts & t-shirt: Primark

Presentation high-summer collection Tutu Chic!

THE EVENT

Last week, Tuesday, I had the chance to participate in an exclusive event.
"The presentation of the high-summer collection of Tutu Chic!" at Smets Premium store.

I am actually still blown of my feet by how great it was organized.

To post this I'm a bit late, I admit..

But I wanted to wait for the 'official' photos because in the rush
(my shop closes at 6pm and event started at 8pm in Brussels..)
I forgot my camera. Rookie mistake, next time my bag will be
all ready to go BEFORE I have to get ready.

Now, first a little something about the brand and the powerwoman behind it.
Because the designer of Tutu Chic is not your average kind of girl..
She's a pink rockstar!!

What is a rockstar in my eyes?
Someone who knows what she's doing. Who knows what she wants.
Goes after it. And achieves! BIG THINGS!
She's the perfect example that HARD WORK pays off!
And pink, obviously, because it's her (our) favorite color and it shows in her collections.

Colors are what Freya starts and ends with in her designs.
Because the world is such a happy place when you're wearing them!!

She doesn't just want to design/make clothes, she actually wants to make a difference.
That's why she's one of the girlfriends of mine, that I "fell in love with".
And why I'm crying while writing this. I am so proud
that she made her dream come true.
(Since September 2013 we're close friends. I went with her to Paris Fashion Week twice,
and those are really the best memories!)

But back to the story!
The event was amazing.. and SO Tutu Chic!
To begin with, it held place in "Smets Premium store", one of the most exclusive shops
in Belgium. To sum up some names: Sophia Webster, Balmain, Stella Mc Cartney, Isabel Marant, Lanvin, Balenciaga..
I think this you a good idea of what to expect. ;)
Than there were the cutest cupcakes, nailbar, the best gin-tonics I've ever tasted (normally I'm not a fan),
a great DJ, impressive singer and most of all: a good atmosphere.

Ofcourse we were there to see the new collection.
The models walked down the big stairs & through the store on (ofcourse) a pink carpet!
I'm sure everybody was as amazed as me.
Freya literarely blended all my bikini/beachdresses-aspirations into her collection..
And what she brings is also very new: 3D printed bikinis.
Everything you need for this summer, the collection has it:
crop tops, cool prints, COLORS, hair ribbons, big beach bags, long dresses..

My favorites:
