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!

It’s very appealing to do nothing when yo have the sun, a sunbed, and a refreshing drink, but when in Menton it’s definitely worth to go to Monaco for the afternoon. So we did, together with James and his grandparents. Obviously I ended up in the Celine store… left empty-handed (how in the world can you just pick one thing there… I just can’t decide on what I love the most) and went to Zara to buy the most amazing A/W12 jacket!! I normally never buy fall jackets so early in the season, but since we go back to London, where everything except for summer is waiting for us, I thought “why not”. Anyway, it’s a combination of lambs leather and fur, very minimalistic (very Celine LOL). Show you soon!
I go and get my last tanning done, see you soon from London!

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!
