Somewhere between slaying a dragon, hugging a tree, destroying a ring and seducing an elf, I've been sitting through my exams and [drumroll] I've passed. Yay. So now it's time for some extreme relaxing... but not before I pick up my well deserved diploma. So let's cut-chase to the important part: what was I wearing? How very kind of you to ask. Well, I was wearing a combination that was so Chanel, that it was...
The 80's: where chest hair goes hand in hand with a v-neck, where the hair of Jon Bon Jovi makes young girls scream and where young girls actually know who Jon Bon Jovi is... Also in news: Love, Dominique Sources: Picture 1/ Picture 2/ Picture 3/ Picture 4/ Picture 5/ Picture 6 ...
… or Monday. Or in fact every given day. Because wearing Saint Kidd isn't specifically bound to any day. Though Saturday is the day we wear Saint Kidd. Or in my case Friday (I know, it's all very confusing). Last Friday I had my pre-Saint Kidd Saturday-day... party. Wearing Saint Kidd makes you feel instantly “cool and happening”. And as a bonus track: It makes you act like a pirate! (that last bit could just be...
Warning: This Program Contains Scenes Of Tedious Dullness Right From The Start

It's often said that antiquity shows ought to be approached with caution, because of their great power to bore you to death. However that's not the case with Bargain Hunt. Bargain Hunt is most entertaining, thanks to its host Tim Wonnacott. Basically with Bargain Hunt you've got two teams (red and blue). These teams compete against eachother by buying three items at a flea market within a certain period of time (I thought three hours,...
Vincent van Gogh: Painted with words... A documentary whereby every word spoken by the actors are sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him (“This is Van Gogh's story in his own words”). The documentary dates back to 2010, but that can't withhold you watching it (again and again and again). Of course produced by the BBC (who else???) and gives you a very identic...

"We know what you’re asking: The fashion industry is racist? No way! Fully 20% of the models at New York Fashion Week are people of color, and since 20% of the world’s population is people of color, and… Wait, what’s that you say? The world isn’t 80% white? Don’t you watch television?". This is the foreword of an article written back in September 2012 regarding racism in the fashion industry through the years. Their conclusion...
Oh Darling, Your Eyes Are Making Me Weak In The Knees!

The eyes are the window of the soul. We, mostly women, are very competetive when it comes to long lashes. The longer the better. Thanks to T.L. Williams (it's always a man, isn't it) we have the pleasure to make them even bolder than they actually are. Yes, I'm talking about mascara. Invented in 1913 as a resource for his sister Maybel (who had a car accident and burnt her eyelashes), T.L. Williams made the...
State your name, rank and intention. The Doctor. Doctor... Fun. Now Matt Smith has resigned his role as the Doctor, he'll need to be replaced by someone else who can tame the TARDIS, fight Daleks and safe the whole universe from disasters (and of course simultaneously being charming, funny, clever and what not). Speculations run wild about who this newby might be. And more important, what will the regenerated kind wear? Doctor Who is all...
Jack is fascinated by birds. He often jumps in the air, waiting for a time he can fly away. He even goes as far as eating their poo. “Eating their poo?”, you might say in disgust. Yes, Jack just can't get enough of the stuff. He will sniff and lick until someone obeys him not to do that (as indeed, it's quite disgusting). “What kind of animal is this 'Jack'?”, you could ask with reluctance....
I like to mix patterns. Floral dessins with checks? No problemo! Plaid with polkadot? Ay sir, you know me well! In my eyes there's little that can go wrong when you mix it all up. It can make an outfit different, outstanding or even stirring. For me it's a game to find the most exciting combinations. However sometimes you have to let a piece just be. For example my mother made me this sort of...
