Les petits riens

0 comments
Only 50 minutes and the doors will open. A fashion show, an exhibition and an auction. Fashion, design, food and bloggers. This all, happening tonight and I'm present!

Spullenhulp (nl) or Les petits riens (fr) is an non-profit association and with this show they're actually trying to raise awareness of the environment, but especially for social objectives of the association. The fashion/design show allows to raise funds through an auction. The main target of this year's "défilé" is to develop the social café of Spullenhulp/Les petits riens, because that's the meeting place for former residents of the house and it welcomes the homeless.

But this is not the first time, no it's actually the 8th edition! And this year they gathered 15 stylists and 17 designers. All the clothes and furniture that were donated to the association will be recreated into something special. They're giving second hand a second style, hence the title of the show. The symbol of this all is to give a second chance and life to all the people that come knocking on S/LPR's doors.



Now here are the 17 designers and 15 stylists:

Designers :
L’Agence, Thierry Bataille, Atelier Blink, Bram Boo, Sylvain Busine, Pili Collado, Raphaël Charles & Dustdeluxe, Anita Evenepoel, Laurent Havaux, Charles Kaisin, Sofie Lachaert, Anne Masson & Eric Chevalier, Hugo Meert, Zoé Morel, Pol Quadens, stefan schöning, Unik Bikes, Denis Meyers
Stylists :
Véronique Branquinho (Delvaux), Romain Brau, Maureen De Clercq, Anita Evenepoel, Anna Heylen, Conni Kaminski, Hüsniye Kardas, Le Fabuleux Marcel, Petits Riens, Cathy Pill, Emilie Pirlot, Kim Stumpf, Simon-Pierre Toussaint & Alice Knackfuss, Valeriane Van Eetvelde, Edouard Vermeulen (Natan)

What it's all about

0 comments
I had a task to write about my hero in journalism. It was kind of out of the blue and I chose Miroslava Duma, because of her length, her cuteness, her style and her age. So young and already an editor, one can only dream. But right after I gave it to my teacher, I realised... I was completely wrong.

Miroslava is indeed a gorgeous, young and powerful woman. She has a closet full of stuff I'd die for. But Anna Dello Russo.... that's my real heroine.

She an adult woman with a strong sence of fashion. When you look at her, you look at fashion, because that's what it's all about: original, eccentric, gorgeous, somewhat odd and especially... something you'd never dare to wear! But she does and she feels good in and about it. She's one hell of a fashion icon and she has such a great personality! The funny thing is, Lady Gaga is her idol! Oh, silly Anna!

One more thing: Move over Karl, Anna's coming!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii there!

Yes, I'm happy! If you follow me on twitter, you already know the good news! (Yes, twitter previews everything of this blog, so start following me :p)!

Today, I declared myself one lucky girl while reading the @Mentions on twitter. They said, and I quote:

Sabrina
@ The lucky girl is...drumrolls...@Thefashionfolio and she's getting an email of me right now!

and
mytheresa.com
@ Wohoooo!!! Congrats, @! We are excited for you!

After reading those words, I was literally jumping up and down and turning around in circles and yelling that I won! I actually won something! My boyfriend had to ask me to calm down, the poor thing.. he's sick and I was going crazy in front of him :D

Soooo... I'll be receiving the Balenciaga bracelet in my mail box, but here's a picture of what the bracelet looks like!

Stones with a story

These stones have a special meaning and I wanted to share it with you guys... So looking at the pictures above, I'll start with the 'green' one.


Aventurine

It brings good luck and money, joy, balance and clarity, Universal love, truth and prosperity. It is good to have it when job interviewing, in sales, or in games of chances (gambling). This stone helps to stable financial issues, especialy when times are tough.

Turquoise

It promotes prosperity. It is believed that Turquoise helps one to start new projects; can warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing color; and protects the wearer from falling, especially from horses. It is also believed to bring happiness and good fortune to all. A master healing stone that promotes spontaneity in romance and stimulates the initiation of romantic love. It brings strength, wisdom, protection and positive thinking.

Onyx

Strength-giving and beneficial in difficult or confusing periods. Promotes vigor, steadfastness, stamina and wise decisions. Aids in learning lesson and imparts self-confidence. Onyx is used for successful and positive release. Deflects negativity and enhances emotional balance and self-control.
