Wreck a Bag!

I like canvas bags, I do. But I never use them, because most of them are boring... Last week I bought a new jacket and it came with a black canvas bag. Black! Always better than white :). However, as you can see, there was a logo on it. A big screeming-blue logo. Not so nice. So I gathered leftovers and plastified a Vivienne Westwood picture and started to wreck the Kelly-bag ;)! Due to a lack of wreck-time, it's not totally wrecked jet... hope to finish next week :). But I just wanted to share this new look of the first canvas bag I actually intent to use ;)!

Small Earring Lovers!

Another solution for your inner earring addict... to keep them safe and together forever ;)!

Earring earring on the wall...

It has to be somewhere.. I got one here, but where is the other one? Lost an earring (again!)? Such a pity! This is a dilemma I can't have any more since my earrings are neatly organized on an earring board. However, it looks like chaos ;)... Mine is already old but I made some new ones for friends :). However, I think that there are more bell-addicts in this world tired of losing their beloved ones so I made some extra boards. Pictures of those available will follow soon. Please let me know if you're interested by writing me a letter (Netherlands and Belgium only) and we'll be in touch!

This is one I made for friends. The size is 30x40 cm. The inside is white striped fabric with two tones of silver/grey lining. There is space for different sizes of earrings. The maximum number of pairs is ca. 65.

The price range is €30-€40.

Discovering Haarlem!

Last week I went shopping in Haarlem for the first time. My mission: work clothes! Of course it is very easy to visit H&M, Vero Moda, Only, Vila, etc. But there is no point in going to an undiscovered shop city if that is what you want... same collection everywhere! Boooring! Haarlem is a perfect city for such mission :D! Lovely boutiques in the streets surrounding the main shopping street. So... if you are planning a shopping trip to Haarlem, please do not forget these lovely findings :)...

AMANZIO

Located at the Kruisstraat 40, you will find a modern shop Amanzio. Quality clothes from designers from different countries for reasonable prices. I bought this cute blazer from Attentif, a French label. Next to clothes they sell shoes (high-higher-highest heels!), bags (birkin style) and other accessories. Visit www.amanzio.nl for further information... :)!

IT

Located at the Barteljorisstraat (north end), is a luxuary boutique named IT. They also have a shop at the Gedempte Oude Gracht 91. Not cheap, but oh so nice! They sell labels like Ted Baker, Supertrash, mbyM and jet more to come! I bought this high waisted skirt from mbyM with an all-the-way-down zip at the back :). For more information visit www.ithaarlem.nl. They even have a fish spa! Enjoy!

The best kept secret/ Jutka&Riska Located at Gierstraat 45 you will find the English style shop The Best Kept Secret. Run by an English mother and daughter. They have unique items! Really really really a must go!! They travel back to England every other week to come back with 500 new items. Most of them are posted on their facebook wall. I bought this dress and blue pants. But if I would have had the money.... oh! Almost forgot to mention the accessories they sell! I am in love! Fall in love to at www.facebook.com/bestkeptsecretfashion

Another lovely boutique is situated at Kruisstraat 15, Jutka&Riska. They sell vintage items, own design, new collections, items by young designers and customized items.

Trouwe tweewieler zoekt nieuw baasje :)! (VERKOCHT)

Sorry again.. only in Dutch :)!

Vanwege afstuderen en het vinden van een baan met auto moet ik helaas afscheid nemen van mijn trouwe studentenfiets in de hoop hiermee een andere student natuurlijk heel blij te maken :)!

Zijn staat? Behalve wat gebruiksschrammetjes hier en daar piekfijn in orde. Recent heeft hij een nieuw voorwiel gekregen en het achterwiel is ook al een keer vervangen. De bandjes zijn ook nog in nette staat :)! Het stuur is niet meer origineel maar wel functioneel...

Geen fan van roze? Met een likje verf in een nieuw kleurtje is daar niks meer van te zien :)!

Special features:
- werkende verlichting!
- deloitte bel... laat weten dat jij er aan komt!
- dichte kettingkast;
- comfortabele zit door het gelkussen dat over het zadel heen zit :)!

Onder al het kleurgeweld zit het frame van een Union Safari verstopt :)!

Ben je geinterreseerd? Neem hier even een kijkje :)!

A Major in Onboard Boredom

Lovely Bali!

Currently I am on holiday at the beautiful island of Bali... no time for new creative updates, but I do have some time to upload some nice pictures I took the last couple of days :)!
