A while ago I received this cut-off denim shorts from MIH Jeans with the sweet note that summer was around the corner. Well, it took ‘summer’ a little longer than expected, but it has definitely arrived. And London in summer is so perfect! James and I can finally enjoy some time together in the park, and it is super cute to see how he’s exploring everything around him. Especially now he learned to crawl around… which also means that NOTHING is safe around him anymore LOL!
Back to my look of today. I have to admit that I am not used to wearing high-waisted shorts, but I do like them. It’s a bit retro, but at the same time quite sophisticated, and it makes your legs look endless. My new heels, bought in sale at Zara, are absolutely my favourite heels at the moment. Because of the plateau on the front, the heel isn’t that high actually, plus my weak ankles are perfectly supported by the straps. So girls who have the same weak-ankle-issue: These work!

What about this metallic blue eye-shadow? Cool isn’t it?! I got this amazing eye make-up from THE Maybelline make-up artist Clayton Leslie during Amsterdam Fashion Week. I normally never wear such bright colors on my eyes, but after the green watercolors from Maybelline I got on Amsterdam Fashion Week day 1 (see here), I was addicted to this amazing effect it gives. I still prefer the green color, but this blue definitely does the trick with an all black look. What do you say?

Another look from Amsterdam Fashion Week. Sorry that I am wearing these sneakers again, but it was from the point of view that I am running around all day taking photos, and that I didn’t want to ruin my feet in the process… I got a lot of questions about my t-shirt, people think I turned it inside-out, but fact of the matter is, it’s supposed to be this way. Almost all Zoe Karssen tees are like this. It kind of her signature.

Back to the shows! One show, Gestuz, was very special to me, as my sister was on the catwalk! I had never seen her in real-life on the catwalk, so I was over excited as you can imagine. See her below in the first photo!
Soon more looks and Fashion Week reviews, check them also out here, where I write for Maybelline!
When looking at my photos I think you notice that I am working with a different photographer, and I am sure you think you know her from somewhere… That’s true! Lisa works with Sabrina from AfterDRK, which is also how I got to know her. Cause let me tell you, when being away from my boyfriend, I am away from my usual photographer. So I needed a back-up plan for Amsterdam Fashion Week! Lisa did a really nice job don’t you think? Soon more…

Now back to the shows…
I have too much to share from the past days at Amsterdam Fashion Week. Way too many amazing photos and videos (read my catwalk reviews here). I simply don’t know where to start! So, to give you the idea you were there too I decided to share with you my favourite part of my three favourite shows so far: The finales from INDIVIDUALS (AMFI), Bas Kosters, and Spijkers & Spijkers! I really hope you like them, and that you can feel the amazing vibe I felt with every show (though they are obviously totally different).
Amsterdam Fashion Week started with two amazing shows: Claes Iversen and Marga Weiers. Both showcased their unique views on fashion, without any clichés, and very fashion forward. I’ve written a review about the shows for Maybelline, you can find them here: Claes / Marga. This brings me also to the project I wanted to tell you about: the coming days I will upload many more reviews and backstage photos, as Maybelline is one of the reasons I am here! I’m working together with them the coming days, which is kind of super exciting!
