My Carré by Veritas and Belmodo.tv

Here's already a small preview of a little project I did with Belmodo.tv, Veritas and my partner in crime Axelle! It involved waking up early, chitchatting in Axelle's cool car and of course playing around with some Carré scarves. You know, the Hermès inspired scarves? We had to shoot videos of different ways to wear them - which has been so inspiring - and we also did some shots where we literally played around with the scarves and just had fun as two friends. Yes, Axelle and I have became friends! You have no idea how happy that makes me, now the french and dutch speaking bloggers will finally have to connect someway or another :D Anyways, here are some pictures and two videos. One is made by Axelle herself and she did some backstage shooting, nice job girl! And the other one is already an official one! This was the second part of our day and the DIY part will be online and in stores tomorrow! How exciting!!! Let me know if you see me somewhere ^^

Sometimes fantasy is better than reality

Exactly two months ago, I helped out Celine, a friend, for her final project for school. She has been studying graphic design and chose advertising as her final year. Love her choice and loved to help of course! She first asked me to style her models but then she said who the photographer, which I knew already, would be and suddenly I was a model as well! I could style my own outfit and I gave a few tips on the other ones. And then the day came where we all went to Sint-Lukas, the famous art school in Brussels, to shoot. Celine's first idea included the - not so yummy for my taste - Carpe Diem drinks. We would each have a different flavor, depending on our mood. This all changed into the famous game 'The Sims'. In this ad it's all about fantasy and reality. I'm the student who's fed up with studying - haha, I really am at the moment - and wants to go on holiday, which is my fantasy. Ken and Tiffany represent the reality of a couple, which is constantly fighting. But you can see their fantasy on the door behind them! We had a blast shooting their pictures and mine of course ^^

You can see the result, shot by Kaat Vandenbroeck, below. The making of pictures were shot by Jana Keppens. Also a big thanks to our darling Lori Verbeckt for our make-up and being so adorable! I thank Celine for letting me help her and I hope I was a great help for her too ;)

And here's the result:

ELLE . BE Party

The weekend's over and my exam period has kind of officially begun. Tomorrow I have my first exam: psychology. I wonder what I'm doing here, making a blog post ?! Okay, we'll do this quickly... So, last saturday I attended the ELLE.BE Party, which was held in Hotel Bloom in Brussels. It was actually the afterparty of the La Cambre fashion shows and although I didn't attend those, I couldn't miss out on the party. So I took my sister and a friend with me to the design hotel for une acte de présence. Not only did I see a lot of models, I also saw beautiful Kim and Kim, Gilles, Tom, Paulien and her gorgeous friend Stéphanie! We had fun while shooting these pictures and I wish I could have stayed longer but duty calls... Wish me luck!

I was wearing an American Apparel shirt (sister's) with black leather shorts by  Zara (sister's), Topshop Pippin ankle boots, La Fille d'O bra, MBMJ wishbone necklace, Triwa watch and Topshop alligator ring.

Top 3 blog posts of May

Here you go: my top 3 blog posts of May. I've been so busy with school - finishing my portfolio, preparing a french debate, learning over 1000 english words - and helping my boyfriend with his school work that I've kind of neglected my blog and you guys. So so sooooo sorry! I actually have a lot of things to post, but I'm busy again - exams... But I'll definitely do my best, just for you ^^

N°1: Belmodo.tv - Blog to watch: The Fashion Folio

Blog to watch: The Fashion Folio

I wanted to post this already a long time ago but I thought this was something approriate for this special post ^^ This post on Belmodo.tv came as such a surprise and I was sooooo happy! Patricia immediately apologised for writing the article quickly but for me it was just perfect! To be on a fashion platform such as Belmodo is quite an honour for me as a small blogger (literally haha). You might already know that I'm currently studying journalism and I want to end up in Fashion Journalism. It would be even more of an honour if I could do my internship at Belmodo. I already know I'm gonna have a blast!

N°2: Le Blog de Betty: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

I know, I know... I've put Betty in my top 3 already even though I told myself not to do such a thing. But I couldn't help it. This t-shirt is just so awesome and I immediately showed it to my boyfriend, also a big fan of The Hangover movie! He literally said: 'Omg, you have to buy that!' Isn't that my cue to actually buy it? Haha, I took that as a hint ^^ I went to the Urban Outfitters in London but they had never heard of the existence of the shirt before. Quite a big bummer if you ask me! So I went on Betty's blog again and I read the comments. Silly me... the t-shirt was only available on U.S. online shops. Too bad for me, but oh so lucky Betty.

N°3: Ring My Bell: Kimono

Kimono

I discovered this blog a long time ago, but totally lost track of it. Until a week ago, when I suddenly ended up on the blog again. I asked my boyfriend: 'Don't you think she looks familiar?!' He couldn't recall knowing her so I went on with my life, haha. Until two days ago. My sister asked me to give her the blog that had made a wish list with her Topshop shoes in it. I had no idea what she was talking about so I want to look for it in my browsing history. Luckily for my sister - and me - I found the blog = Ring My Bell. Ashley Madekwe is her name and after seeing a few pictures I suddenly banged my fist on my desk and yelled: 'EUREKA' - No, I actually said: 'I know where she's from!!!' She played Marissa in the - very short - serie The Beautiful Life. Very short as in two episodes! Well, that's my story of how my bell rang, hihi. I chose this outfit because I love the Kimono and her Litas!

Lots and lots of Kirilove

It has been exactly a week since Tiany Kiriloff shared her Kirilove collection for Vero Moda with us. The collection has been on my mind ever since. After a year of moodboards, travelling to Copenhagen, trying on clothes, posing for the camera and so on... this Belgian fashion journalist and stylist finally made her dream come true. The collection consists of four outfits for autumn/winter that every girl should definitely wear. Describing the collection would be the same as describing the amazing woman behind it: gorgeous, warming, down to earth, colorful, feminine and all of that with an ethnic touch on top!

For those of you who have no clue about what Vero Moda is, here's a small explanation: Vero Moda is one of the Bestseller brands that is founded in Denmark after the idea to creat top quality clothing. It has enormous succes in Scandinavian countries, our neighbours Germany and the Netherlands and of course Belgium. Tiany Kiriloff was obviously the best choice Vero Moda could have made. She knows everything about the fashion world and that's why she's well known in our tiny country! But the beautiful Tiany manages to stay down to earth whatsoever. I'm truly amazed by everything she does and okay, I'll admit it... this post is not only to show you her new collection, it's also to tell you and Tiany herself that she's quite a role model. Not only for me, as a (hopefully) fashion journalist to be, but also for every single fashion loving girl out there! Oh and check the pictures below to see how the future Kiriloffs look like = adorable!

Stiletto Run - Hasselt

(picture by Gilles)

(picture by Gilles)

It's over, the moment we've all been waiting for: the one and only Stiletto Run in Hasselt! I might have started a bit crazy and surprised (we made a pact to start slow :p) but I managed to pass Krizia and Farah and get to the finish line as the 3rd blogger! I think I did pretty well. My feet were burning afterwards and my lungs were quite exhausted too. But oh well, I had a blast with my fellow bloggers/friends! Hanan won the competition and Kim finished second. Kim from Brunette Blogging on the other hand managed to finish in style. No, she didn't fall, she just walked after a few meters! Haha, how I love every single one of them <3

From left to right: Farah, Kim, Krizia, Kim, Me and Hanan (picture by Gilles)

Oh my lovely Kim <3

Off we go! (picture by Gilles)

A small stop-motion film of our running skills hahaha :D

There was also the big Stiletto Run in which everyone could participate. I couldn't leave them out of this post, now could I? The one holding the big cheque worth €1500 is the number one winner of the big run! Second came the one with the €250 cheque (sorry, I don't know their names). There was also the Belmodo.tv price for Best Dressed and the lady with the Carrie - Galliano like dress deserved it of course. She'd put a lot of effort in it and I have to admit that's it quite smart! She went home with a cheque for a bag by Michaël Verheyden worth €500. And let's not forget Hanan, who won a price offered by New Look: free shoes for one year!
