*swish swoosh glitter and confetti*

And... what do y'all think? It was a bit of a magic trick (especially because computer-talk sounds alien to me), but with a little help from the internet (Google gets what I need in time of crisis) I've pimped my ride. Owh yeah. 


It was quite a hazzle, especially when actually deciding to just do it. And then you do it and everything goes wrong and you're just sitting there crying to yourself "WHY DID I JUST DO IT???!!!!", "EVERYTHING'S RUINED!!" and my favourite "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!". But everything turned out fine. Just fine. (except for this weird thing whereby under the posts there's this bit with a picture of a woman who's not me and none-words scribbled at the side of it and I don't know how to change it or to get rid of it or idk burn it down and please help me please).


For a while now I was feeling that we needed a change (we in the sense of I, but I think we -I- can both agree on it). A new look means a fresh start (or an old start that's just trying to mislead you in thinking that I'm a profound blogging person who knows her shit. I don't know shit, but just looking like you're acquaintances must be good for business, amiright?). So what can you expect from the new and approved Fashioned by Pluche?

Basically the same ol' shit.

But that's alright, right? Right? Guys? Where are you going? Guys?

So yeah, new look and new stuff (maybe) coming your way. What do y'all think of it? You like it? (you better like it because there's been blood, sweat and tears into getting this thing running. Or more like slow motion walking).


Also look at my new notebook and mug, aren't they cute?

Love,
Dominique

Look at that sunset!

It's officially spring, but I wouldn't say it'd be wise to pack up all your jumpers and other knitwear (although who's to say that you can't wear knits in spring/summer? A fools!). Actually at the moment I'm busy making a long crochet cardigan. More about that soon(ish)... 

Last week -when these pictures were taken- was quite blue-tinted. I don't know why, but every day of the week (with an unexplained exception for Friday when I had to go to college) I wore something blue. Now I wouldn't say that I'm a very blue minded girl, but the blues can hit you at any moment and without any hesitation you'll be copying cookie monster. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
nomnomnomnomnomnomnom.

If you didn't know, I absolutely love museums and exhibitions and whatnot. Here in the Netherlands we have some absolutely top notch museums who present the most variating exhibitions. Unfortunately this means that there's a lot to choose from. I say unfortunately because time, man, there ain't not enough! So to get a little bit on track of what's to do and what's to see where (and when, naturally), I thought it to be handy to make myself a short list of some exhibitions that've caught my eyes these past days. And my oh my, they are absolutely spoiling us!







Together with Late Rembrandt the Rijksmuseum has made an exhibition about the earliest photographers from their collection.

"The exhibition shows that light, shadow and lighting – as in the work of Rembrandt – play the leading role in photography."



Geisha is a world renowned (style) icon. Within the exhibition the history and life of a Geisha will be displayed. It answers such questions as: What does the daily lif of a Geisha looks like? Is it a profession or vocation? This exhibition gives you time to marvel at the mysterious lady companion as a cultural icon and lets you get familiar with the woman behind the mask.


"Extensive dyeing procedures, 300 colours and 12 months of needlework are required to make one perfect Kubota kimono.  Each kimono is an explosion of colours, decorated with embroidery, with patterns in East Indian ink and embellished with gold leaf and silver after the 16th century traditional Tsujigahana technique." 



Have you seen an exhibition you'd recommend? Please comment below! I'm always on the look out for some dream destinations... ;)

Love,
Dominique
