<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As you saw, my previous posts were all about my Louis Vuitton bags. I guess I had a bit of an addiction for a minute. Whitin a short period of time I collected around 15 LV bags and I loved them all. But the longer I owned them, the more I noticed I wasn't using them. Whenever it was raining (vachetta!) I left my LV's at home and used my good old beat up leather bags. So recently I decided to get rid of most of my LV's and start a new collection of bags that I can always use. I got the medium Dior Gaucho (LOVE it!), a Marc Jacobs Stella, a Marc Jacobs Multi-Pocket, a Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Teri, and some other bags.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Right now I'm using my Marc Jacobs Stella. I got it on eBay for a good deal and I'm super happy with it. The leather is really soft (and sturdy!) and everything just screams quality. It has a lot of pockets, some equipped with super heavy clasps. The inside is made of a soft fabric and there's one zip compartment. This bag is really big and holds everything you need it to hold.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;"> I just started using it so I'll let you know how quickly the bag will age. Right now this bag is around 8 years old but it still looks as good as new. Overall I think this bag is a keeper, it's just really well made. I think I'll enjoy it a lot.</span><br />

It's much bigger than the petit bucket, plus it has some extra pieces of vachetta that I like. I was really looking forward to wearing the bag, until I received it.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><a name='more'></a>It turned out it's just way too big for me. I'm 1.68 m (5"6) and it looks huge. To me, the petit bucket has the perfect shape. The bottom of the GM is structured and it falls just really awkward on my hip. On the upside, it does fit a lot. And you could fix the security issue of the unclosable open mouth by laying your Ipad mini on the bottom, it's a perfect fit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;"> Another problem to me would be the fact that the bag is upright, so if you stuff it to the max it would be really hard to reach your stuff on the bottom (like your Ipad mini). My last issue, which is really personal, is that it looks too classic for me. I feel like the petit bucket looks a bit 'younger'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Being a bit disappointed, I sold the bag to a nice elderly lady. I hope she will wear it a lot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;">So my final verdict:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">+ It fits everything</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">+ Has nice vachetta details</span><br />

I think it is the cutest little bag ever. The size is pretty similar to a speedy 25, but because of the large opening it is a bit less secure. To keep myself from being robbed, I attach my mini pochette (with my wallet inside) to the d-ring. The security issue is my only issue with the bag, right now. At first, as with most of the vintage Petit Buckets, mine came with a nasty sticky and peeling lining. I've asked how much it would cost to get it fixed by LV and the SA told me it would be aroung €125 (or about 170 dollars). Since I got a good deal on the bag, I didn't want to spend that money on it right away because I first wanted to test if I like wearing the bag. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> So in order to prevent myself from spending more money on the bag, I figured I would first reline it myself. I had already tried to clean the bag with nailpolish remover (which was a bad idea because it made the lining come off). I didn't want to try the talcum powder solution because I wouldn't want my stuff to be covered in talcum powder residue. So a new lining it was. I bought myself some cloth at a local store and went ahead with it. You can see the results here:</span><br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It came out pretty good to me. I can now use the bag without my hands (and stuff) getting sticky and it looks a lot better too. If I still like the bag as much as I do now a little while later, I think I will get it relined by LV. But as I said, I'm happy for now!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-26349781348921837512014-09-29T22:43:00.003-07:002014-09-29T22:43:57.072-07:00Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires Vernis Amarante reveal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Anybody who's reading my blog may think that I'm spending money like crazy these days, but honestly, it isn't that bad. I recently sold several LV bags to save some money for a new one. Even though I like buying pre-lover items, I do feel that a new bag is more 'my' bag than a bag that has been used for sveral decades by someone else.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Unfortunately, the price of a new LV bag doesn't come close to a pre-loved one, so I had to get rid of a couple of them in order to buy a new one. But, I did! And I'm very happy to tell you that I bought a Pochette Accessoires Vernis in Amarante. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Why this bag in vernis? As you maybe have read in an earlier article, I think the pochette is an amazing piece. I sold my older pochette a while ago and I had my eye on a new one. Originally, I thought about buying a Alma BB in Amarante but the price is simply way too high for me. I personally don't think I can justify a purchase of that kind right now. Maybe one day I will. So for me the Pochette in vernis amarante is the perfect combination between function and beauty. I lóve the amarante vernis and I love the versatility of the pochette. I will write an update on it later because I've worn it only a couple times, but for now, you van watch my (silent) Youtube reveal:</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I think the pochette accessoires is the best piece to start a Louis Vuitton 'collection'. And even if you already have other bags, I think this thing is an amazing addition. You can use it as a make-up bag, a clutch, a cross-body or as an extra pocket inside your bag.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> I bought an extra chain you can purchase on eBay to wear it cross-body and I would certainly recommend it.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

The clasps on the chain look pretty similar to the LV ones, so they match nicely. You can just clip it onto your bag and off you go, looking really stylish. It fits enough too, to me at least.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> A while ago, I bought a pre-loved pochette on eBay and loved it right away. I was planning on selling the older one so that I could get myself a new one of which I would know I could use it for years and years. I also like the fact that the new model of the pochette has an extra pocket inside, and that the leather strap is longer. I did sell my pre-loved one, but I have yet to buy a new one. I will explain the reason why in another article.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> But here are some pictures of my pre-loved pochette. I never really used the old leather strap on it because I thought it was too fragile, so I just used my chain to wear it cross-body. Without the chain I used it inside of my bag as an extra compartment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> I also have a mini pochette and if I had to choose between both pochettes, I would go for the pochette accessoires. It just fits more and therefor is a bit more versatile than the mini pochette. I have seen many raving reviews about the mini, but I found that it's a bit too small for me. The current LV prices for the pochettes aren't that far apart and I think the larger pochette makes up for the price difference. So if you're thinking about getting one, I'd say: go for it!</span><br />

I was a bit bored and started bidding on eBay, not expecting to win. But then, I did. And my 'price' was the Saumur 30. I always liked the design so I was excited to own one. And if I wouldn't have been excited, I was my own fault for bidding on it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">But anyway, it arrived and the condition of the bag wasn't the best. The leather is dark, has stains and is cracked here and there. But overall, it wasn't horrible and I could still use it. I was a bit p*ssed when I saw some tiny cracks in the canvas, which meant that I would never be able to get the vachetta renewed at Louis Vuitton. The design however did surprise me in a good way. You can wear this bag crossbody, or fold the strap in such a way that it turns into a shoulder bag.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I think the bag looks best as a shoulder bag and that's the way I'm wearing it. It fits a lot. There are two main compartments of wich one has a cloth divider. To me, the divider isn't that useful. It isn't structured enough in my opinion, so there's just this piece of cotton in the middle of your compartment. But the does hold a lot of stuff so it's a good bag for everyday use. And because of the shape, it looks really special. I hardly ever see somebody else walk around with this bag so carrying the Saumur feels a bit more exclusive. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;">Some people have a problem with the clasp closure, but I don't. Same as with the Sologne, I feel like it keeps my stuff secure and safe. You just need to get used to it. One of the things I do really miss is a d-ring. I like to be able to fasten my pochettes inside the bag (again, for security) so this is my only downside to this bag.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #666666;">So a grade for this type of bag on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it an 8,5. </span><span style="color: #666666;">If it had a d-ring and a zipper pocket, it would be a 10.</span></span><br />

At first, I was disappointed by the quality of the shirt. In the very beginning I was babying the shirt like crazy. I washed it by hand in cold water, and handled it very gently. But it would still loose its shape! After a year I stopped wearing it because it just looked like a rag (to me). I also started trowing it in the washer with all my other stuff and for some reason, the condition hasn't changed over the last two years. I now wear it when I'm inside the house or as my summer PJ's but I guess I could still wear it to casual occasions. So it started out pretty bad at first, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with the quality.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Use steam! I found out that it is the best way to get the annoying smell out of your stuff. I've tried baking soda, febreze, airing it out but nothing really helped. Suddenly I came up with the idea to use my little steamer. I bought it a year ago when I started buying second hand furniture. I wanted to be sure when I bought a chair, even if it looked clean, had nothing nasty hidden in the fabric. I've been using the steamer ever since for cleaning older stuff or delicate fabrics and I can tell you it's worth the money.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So what did I do with my bags?</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I grabbed my little steamer, held the bag up side down and started filling the bag with steam. Then I turned the bag around to let the steam out and repeated this several times. After a couple of minutes of doing this, I filled the bag with paper and let it dry. After the bag was completely dried, there had been a 80-90 percent decrease of the smell. To get rid of the last 10-20 percent, just repeat the process. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">If you would like to try this out yourself, please remember a couple of things:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Don't let the steam near the leather (vachetta) because the heat and moist can damage/darken it, or leave water stains.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Also don't forget to fill the bag with absorbing paper afterwards to let it dry completely. If the bag isn't able to dry properly, the moist of the steam will just feed the mildew/mold that could be in your bag and worsen it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Use the steamer on fabrics that can handle the heat, like cotton. Otherwise you might also damage the inside of your bag.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I used this method now on two of my vintage Louis Vuitton bags, and it really worked out great. I hope my little tip can help others!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-48822513298836951752014-08-19T06:34:00.000-07:002014-08-20T09:52:09.198-07:00Starting my (small) Louis Vuitton Collection<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">When I was about seventeen, I saw a woman on the street wearing a beautiful bag with a (to me) really appealing logo print. I didn't know what brand it was, only that I wanted one too. I coudln't find these bags anywhere in the stores so after a while, me and a friend chased down a woman who was wearing one. I asked here where what bag it was and where she'd bought it and she told me she got it abroad and that it was a Louis Vuittton. Finally I knew! I typed the name into Google and found several hits of celebrities wearing these bags and I also immediately saw that I couldn't afford one of my own.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So, this was my first encounter with Louis Vuitton. After that point, I always looked at the LV website to see if they had anything I could afford, but they never did. The last couple of years I didn't think too much about it, because I was a student and those bags were wáy out of my reach. But recently, my love for LV was sparked again when I practically became addicted to the 'my bag collection' on Youtube. And finally, after ten years, I decided that I wanted one of those small collections for myself.
Some of the girls on youtube have massive collections and I just don't have a clue of how they can afford it. To me they don't really seem like millionairs, but who know, maybe they are.
But since my budget isn't the one of a millionair, I have to be a bit more creative. And of course, eBay turned out to be a great (and possibly the cheapest) source to look for LV bags. Are there any cons for buying on eBay? Yes! You always run the risk of getting a fake or a bag that isn't exactly like the one in the ad. I have put a lot of hours in training myself to spot fakes and I can say I'm pretty good at it now. So even if you try to eliminate the risks, they're still there. For instance, one of my bags turned out to have cracks in the canvas. That sucked, because now LV will never repair the item. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So if you want to start your own collection, good luck! But do know that there's always that risk of a disappointment..</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-25486926464649984792014-08-19T06:18:00.000-07:002014-08-20T09:52:27.483-07:00My Louis Vuitton Sologne Review<br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A little while ago, I was paying a visit to the Louis Vuitton website to see if there were any bags I was interested in. And as it turned out, I started having a thing for the Sologne. i really like the proportions of the bag and how classic it looks. To me, this is just one of those bags you can wear to (almost) any occassion and looks great at any age. Apparently however, I am the only one who likes this bag because I couldn't find a single review on the thing. So to fill up this gaping hole on the internet, I decided to write one myself.
Just a couple days after finding my new desired LV on the website, I spotted on on eBay at a good price. Fortunately, I won the auction and I now am the proud owner of a vintage Louis Vuitton Sologne.
The only downfall on this bag was the missing shoulderstrap, but luckly my mom had a leather strap that matched pretty well. And now, after a visit to the local shoe repair guy, I can wear my bag.
The dimensions of the bag are x x and it comes with a longer shoulderstrap to wear it crossbody or as a classic shoulderbag.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> The newer model of the Sologne has two packets inside, whereas mine has one zipper pocket (which I prefer). One the back there is a large slit pocket and if you open the flap, there's another slit pocket on the front.
This bag has the perfect size to wear for a day out. It can hold my wallet, mini pochette, keys, little make-up pouch and an ipad mini. Of course I can't comment on the strap, beause mine isn't original. But I can say that the bag isn't heavy so it is nice to wear it on your shoulder, even when it's full.
It can be a bit of a hassle to get in and out of the bag because of the closure on the front. I noticed that you just have to get used to it. On the upside: this closure is pretty safe. And if you feel that it is not safe enough, you can just clip your mini pochette on the inside of the bag (I use the zipper pull as a d-ring) and put your stuff in there. Of course this only works if you have a vintage Sologne, as the newer ones have the small open pockets.
So, here's my verdict:
Will I be using this bag a lot? Yes, I think this is a beautiful classic bag that I'll wear to pieces.
Can I recommend it to others? Yes, if you can overcome the hassle of the closure you'll have a great bag that looks classy, elegant but still young and casual. A big plus for me is that not a lot of people carry this bag (I have never seen someone with it), so it is a bit of an exlusive bag.
I hope I could help some of you that were looking for a Sologne review. And if you have any questions, please let me know!</span></span><br />

I visit this small market every once in a while, it’s a great place to buy cheap vintage. I didn’t really buy any vintage yesterday because I arrived a bit too late, it got too crowded for my taste. If you’re planning on visiting Amsterdam, you should definitely pay this market a visit. This is the place where all the hip and trendy people buy their cheap clothing and there are hardly any tourists. If you’re done visiting the Noordermarkt, you can simply walk to the bigger Westermarkt that’s just around the corner. You can buy everything you need on this market. I forgot to bring my camera with me so I had to make photo’s with my phone (hence the poor quality), but here’s an impression of the Noordermarkt: </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span> </span></div><div class="Body1"><br />

<div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">I must say that during the past weeks, I might have neglected my blog, but I definitely did not neglect my fashion diet. I’ve tossed some of my older worn out clothes and bought some new ones to replace them. Among them was a coat I can’t get out of my mind, even now that it’s hanging in my closet. I just bought the Max Mara 101801 coat and I’m so excited! I’ve been looking for a classic (preferably camel) coat for at least two years now and when I spotted a vintage 101801 at a vintage shop here in Amsterdam, I was really happy. I must say that I didn’t buy it immediately, I first went home to think it over.</span><br />

<div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">I wasn’t planning on buying a new coat for this winter, I still have one so it wasn’t on my ‘need’ list. Coincidentally the Dutch Elle October issue included a short article on Max Mara, which also featured the 101801. It turned out that the 101801 was the Max Mara icon coat and apparently they started selling it again (for €1200,-/ GBP 1000,-/ $1600,-). Taking in consideration that I wanted this type of coat for a long time, it was second hand and that it is a designer classic, I felt I had to go back to the vintage shop and have another look at it. </span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">During my first visit at the shop I already tried it on but took it off immediately because I thought it was too big, even though it was a size smaller than what I usually wear (it’s a size NL 34/ US 4/ GB 8 while I’m a 36/6/10). But for my second visit, I knew it was a loose fit, so I had to try it on again. When I walked into the store, I grabbed the coat and took it into the fitting room. It indeed was big (rather huge), especially the sleeves, but I did like it. It has a kind of formal feel to it that I really like. Even though the saleslady tried to talk me out of it (“But honey, I thought it was a size 44/12/10. I think this coat will totally cover your cute figure.”), I bought it. I’m so happy with it! I’m wearing it constantly (even indoors) and I’m trying on different ways of wearing it. I love it with a belt and rolled up sleeves. </span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">So now that I have it, I’m totally obsessing over this coat. I love it! The only thing I altered was the use of shoulder pads. I took them out because it made me look too massive. My boyfriend was shocked when he heard it (“Did you really cut open such a nice coat?!”). For a short moment, I questioned the authenticity of my coat because some details were different than the 1981 version. But when I removed the shoulder pads, I saw that it must be a real one. The pads were handmade out of several layers and almost impossible to remove, I figured nobody would put that much effort into a knock off.</span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Some time ago I posted about my search for the perfect Alexander Wang pocket Tee wannabe, and I thought I found one at Primark. And how naive of me, but off course this t-shirt had to be just another disappointment. I know I shouldn’t have expected much, but this is just sad. After just one wash, the t-shirt was at least one size smaller, started to twist really bad and the print of the inner label came off completely. So, me breaking my own rules didn’t turn out that great.. (note to self: stick to your own rules!!) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4l3F8zM1ZkK2bRmIpLAiPLiJPsDgCScYeN65a3-_PdflIzV4uNAhR-PQkJTVJryyO5prjZ1J87KT0R0Ztbmal9NZBE2L8BiIgqQH7tR-kSGs3mB1gPVb8J3t8RTsMUNZXFvmiPz4dr80/s1600/IMG_1830.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4l3F8zM1ZkK2bRmIpLAiPLiJPsDgCScYeN65a3-_PdflIzV4uNAhR-PQkJTVJryyO5prjZ1J87KT0R0Ztbmal9NZBE2L8BiIgqQH7tR-kSGs3mB1gPVb8J3t8RTsMUNZXFvmiPz4dr80/s320/IMG_1830.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

These are the final weeks for working on my thesis, and I have to finish it within ten days. But after then, I’ll have plenty of time to work on my (currently neglected) blog.</span></div><div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But okay, what was my new discovery? It’s very simple: makeup base and transparent powder! I’ve been watching ‘What not to wear’ recently and the makeup lady on the show always tells the ‘patients’ to start using make-up base and transparent powder. Myself, I do like makeup, but I’m in no way an expert. I just put some basic makeup on, see if it looks nice, and start my day. I don’t even have a skin routine. I’ve tried that in the past, but it’s just not for me. But anyway, I decided to try the make-up base and transparent powder tip, and I love it! The makeup base makes my skin smooth and non-oily and the powder just gives a nice natural finish. I must say that I never wear foundation (I can never find one in my skin tone and I’m afraid of ‘the pancake effect’) but this is the best alternative, I think. Once I’ve got more time on my hands I’ll show you some before and after pictures!</span></div><div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

I was really glad they did, because I think everybody should look at this documentary (and the others they’ve made). It really makes you think about the way our clothes are made. For instance, I knew that the workers in India worked for little wages and under poor conditions, but I didn’t know some of them actually have to sleep under their desk during the week. That really made me sad but also made up my mind to become more conscious about the clothes I put on my back. Since I watched the show a couple of years ago for the first time, I look where my clothes were produced and tried to tread them as if they were designer items. By that I mean that I take good care of my items, and that even if somebody had had to make them under poor conditions, I honoured the item by wearing it to treads so that their hard work was respected. And of course not buy things I didn’t really need. I recommend the series of documentaries to anybody, I know of the following titles:</span></div><div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

I still wear the shirt a lot (I think about 3 times a week) and now it really starts to show some signs of wearing: it starts to twist after washing and the fabric looks a bit chafed here and there. I’m a bit disappointed by the quality but I still think it’s better than H&M or Zara shirts. And I know this is my own fault, but the shirt is a real stain magnet! Usually I don’t spill a lot, but the poor shirt has had chocolate, orange juice, wine, grease and food stains. Fortunately all of them came off after washing so I can still enjoy my shirt. Do I still believe the shirt is worth the extra money? Yes. The fit is unique and the colour is beautiful and just goes with everything. This shirt is still my number one buy this year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-4994419692829005802011-07-10T09:07:00.001-07:002011-07-10T09:19:17.688-07:00In search of the perfect T-Shirt (and breaking the rules)<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">I love my Alexander Wang Tee, I really do. I’ve worn it so much the last couple of weeks that my little sisters asked me if I ever wear something else (and yes, I do). I love my Wang Tee so much that I’d like to have another one, but I simply can’t afford it. Around €75,- ($100,-) for a t-shirt is a lot, I think, so I’ve given myself the assignment to search a good ‘fake’ Wang Tee. The requirements for the shirt are:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">As it turned out, these shirts are very hard to find! I’ve seen the Wang fakes at COS, but I heard that they’re of really poor quality. I think I’ve tried around fifteen t-shirts that came close to my requirements, but none of them were right. I even tried on some mens shirts at H&M, but the v-neck always was too high, so it didn’t look good. A couple of days ago I decided to pay a visit to the local Primark (I know, against my rules, but my cat recently died and I didn’t want to spend too much on emotional shopping) and I stumbled upon this shirt. It meets most of my requirements, so I took it with me without trying it on, which was a mistake. But as you know, there are always standing at least twenty people in line for the fitting rooms and I didn’t feel like waiting. My main complaint about this shirt is that it is too long and narrow at the bottom. If it was just a bit shorter and looser, it would have been a pretty good shirt. But I guess my search for the perfect fake Wang Tee will go on... </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeuWe70iBRUjZTBRPVqanupd1rxkxJXqnVaaNRmTCFE0ciuSH7GLlkQs4XXG9GQ_7A-4gZxkgGtLNgClFfZeFaL7uSQgN8xvIGCm5PrUKnv05N9SW-pPgk62xv91QfJphvblooMCZEaQ/s1600/IMG_1830.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeuWe70iBRUjZTBRPVqanupd1rxkxJXqnVaaNRmTCFE0ciuSH7GLlkQs4XXG9GQ_7A-4gZxkgGtLNgClFfZeFaL7uSQgN8xvIGCm5PrUKnv05N9SW-pPgk62xv91QfJphvblooMCZEaQ/s400/IMG_1830.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi67fYcihOhuBseMG96s5nODeEsMf5mOk0itmf5LYpXOQTz9lWJcjwJko7tqHUF3jvXCiTVkTxHp2PqgukzROmg1bZyaloCT7HCNUSTjRj7D9Y3F3l3ZymhPgNM3IJPDIypxH7NN30viTA/s1600/IMG_1832.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPJV7YtPJE6JrhJGFrEexSbbTI1vGZAfFp1fuEVLo0zPsh7jrc5iZ6z2qoOrVxdqn6zV1znHhkmQUiDpnVP70n1pWWamVLdAhKNSzYSJld5jo88z7zz2Rn_5Mz7Q9uO_ItsLnA5GnMipM/s1600/IMG_1831.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPJV7YtPJE6JrhJGFrEexSbbTI1vGZAfFp1fuEVLo0zPsh7jrc5iZ6z2qoOrVxdqn6zV1znHhkmQUiDpnVP70n1pWWamVLdAhKNSzYSJld5jo88z7zz2Rn_5Mz7Q9uO_ItsLnA5GnMipM/s400/IMG_1831.JPG" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi67fYcihOhuBseMG96s5nODeEsMf5mOk0itmf5LYpXOQTz9lWJcjwJko7tqHUF3jvXCiTVkTxHp2PqgukzROmg1bZyaloCT7HCNUSTjRj7D9Y3F3l3ZymhPgNM3IJPDIypxH7NN30viTA/s1600/IMG_1832.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi67fYcihOhuBseMG96s5nODeEsMf5mOk0itmf5LYpXOQTz9lWJcjwJko7tqHUF3jvXCiTVkTxHp2PqgukzROmg1bZyaloCT7HCNUSTjRj7D9Y3F3l3ZymhPgNM3IJPDIypxH7NN30viTA/s400/IMG_1832.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />

One of my ultimate ‘compromise garments’ is this H&M top. It’s made out of a synthetic fabric which makes it light but not too cold. I’ve bought this top about two years ago and it still looks great and has no signs of wearing. This is one of the few items I didn’t buy during the sale, as I did with all my other garments that period. I changed my philosophy only recently so back then I just bought the things I didn’t hate and were cheap. But not this top, and it paid off because I have worn it a lot and I still do.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-31003473733723443022011-07-04T11:51:00.000-07:002011-07-04T11:51:59.503-07:00Minnetonka Hi-Top Back Zip Boots Review<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:PixelsPerInch>72</o:PixelsPerInch> <o:TargetScreenSize>544x376</o:TargetScreenSize> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>NL</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

I had read a lot of great reviews on the web so my expectations were high. Ever since these grey boots arrived I’ve worn them every day, I love them. They have this really laid back look that goes with about everything in my closet. I can wear them all day without getting any blisters. I was really afraid that I would wreck the suede within a couple of days because that always happened to me with suede shoes, but up until now they still look great. I would have favoured them to come in leather because I think you can maintain leather shoes a lot better than suede. I hope they will last a really long time because they are now in my top 10 favourite items. Many of the reviews on the internet said the shoes weren’t true to size, they were a bit larger than expected, so I anticipated on that and bought half a size smaller than usual (I’m a 38.5/US 7,5/UK 5.5) and picked size 38/7/5. Unfortunately, when the first pair arrived, they were too small so I had to return them and take a size 39/8/6. There’s a little room left in the shoe but because they aren’t lined, I’m able to wear two pairs of socks when it’ll get colder. The last thing I would like to say about these shoes is that they’re rather footwear than actual shoes, you know what I mean? They have no support at all, so it’s more a garment that you can wear on your feet than a quality shoe. That said, I would recommend these shoes because they fit and look great and are reasonably priced (mine cost €75,-).</span></div><div class="Body1" style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

I saw a pair of Ugg boots on sale that were available in my size. The Uggs cost 129 Euros (around 185 US dollars) which means they were a bargain. I really struggled because I needed ankle boots that matched with everything and were comfortable, but then again, the entire country has them too and last year I swore to never wear Uggs again. So I made up my mind and decided not to buy them because I was really looking for boots in a more neutral colour (and they were lilac). After a couple of days I found a pair of boots I thought were right for me on the internet, taupe ankle boots with a small heel, and I visited the store to try them on. Unfortunately, those boots weren’t right either, the fit just wasn’t right and apparently, taupe isn’t my colour. But I did find some other boots I liked at the store and they did fit great. The only problem with that pair was that one of the shoes had a small ink stain and there was some discolouration between the shoes, so I asked the saleslady if they had another pair in my size, but they didn’t. So while she was calling to another store to see if they maybe had them, she grabbed a dark sponge out of the counter drawer. Still on the phone, she carelessly wiped the grey sponge onto the perfect beige shoe, which left a big dark stain. Great, now both shoes were ruined. When she told me none of the other stores had the boots she did smile at me and said: “But see, you can alter the colour of the shoe!” But making the shoes darker wasn’t what I wanted, I might have just bought the shoes if she had given me a bit of a discount because those boots too were a little expensive (120 Euros). But since she wrecked the shoes, I left the store shoeless and feeling bummed. But there was no need for me to feel sad for much longer because suddenly I remembered the Minnetonka boots I always wanted! These were a lot cheaper (75 Euros). For some reason, they’re very rare in Holland, nobody wears them here. They are just exactly what I want: neutral, comfortably and easy to match with all my clothes. They arrived a couple of days ago and I have worn them every day since. I’m so happy with my new shoes, I hope they’ll last quite a while! </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-10949106983021313462011-06-24T06:02:00.000-07:002011-06-24T06:02:59.828-07:00Simple idea, huge change.<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>NL</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

Since then, I looked more closely to all the things that were laying around the house and found for instance that I also owned twelve lipglosses/-sticks. Why would I need twelve different lipglosses when they aren’t even very different shades? I always wear beige/pinkish colours on my lips, and they all are. My lips aren’t that big, they don’t need twelve glosses to cover them. These items are for me the kind of things I purchase without consideration. The essence of my new shopping philosophy is just really simple: use everything you already own and buy something new when you’ve used the product you owned. It is that simple, but it made a big change in the way I look at shopping. And as you all know, this has led me to start my fashion diet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides the financial benefits of buying less, it also gives a great feeling of satisfaction when you fully use a product or garment and wear it out. It feels great to throw away a shirt that’s worn to threads instead of feeling the guilt of hanging another new shirt in the closet next to unworn others! </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-37199922519605850092011-06-17T00:16:00.000-07:002011-06-17T00:16:38.259-07:00Special Items 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe9yJIdA79Wx4My1Gyq8tHXTM_TlmxKWFWSZJZ86NTbog5Evt-4_FwcQAJ_GlFLnBBfJ-rEMFqGPK8p3GgaWn2c3ySxMWt2c4JqD4r5lwlWKxZWTMg1S3fkHjUn0zVq0HjCc6x6fJBpfk/s1600/sjaaltje.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe9yJIdA79Wx4My1Gyq8tHXTM_TlmxKWFWSZJZ86NTbog5Evt-4_FwcQAJ_GlFLnBBfJ-rEMFqGPK8p3GgaWn2c3ySxMWt2c4JqD4r5lwlWKxZWTMg1S3fkHjUn0zVq0HjCc6x6fJBpfk/s320/sjaaltje.JPG" width="202" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gZlmu8MUWNIqhIk36hpkNCXfALtWKjwnG48WYKsFGh9nz3HqCNxlMIktAhzr1QhH8yd8_RRa0kMdrSDMNewSUKsD5Znxh4tOiJ6obGTyc7qkv_9oCU-Mt_yIsyoND4DkfLeyMNpOOwI/s1600/IMG_1802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gZlmu8MUWNIqhIk36hpkNCXfALtWKjwnG48WYKsFGh9nz3HqCNxlMIktAhzr1QhH8yd8_RRa0kMdrSDMNewSUKsD5Znxh4tOiJ6obGTyc7qkv_9oCU-Mt_yIsyoND4DkfLeyMNpOOwI/s320/IMG_1802.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />

And I must say, I have a lot of scarfs, maybe even a bit too much. I think a good scarf can really give your outfit that special touch. Not too long ago, I visited a local flea market at which I spotted this beautiful scarf. It was just one euro, so I had to take it. It kind of reminds me to the People of the Labyrinths tie-dye look that I love. This scarf is made of silk by the way and it feels like good quality to me. The lady who sold it to me told me she dyed it herself during a party at the beach a long time ago (must have been a hippie once ;-)). But because she dyed it herself, this means I don’t have to worry about running into someone who’s wearing the same scarf. Even though I must say that has never been one of my great fears, otherwise I wouldn’t be wearing H&M clothing. I’m not thát much of a fashionista. I do not yet have any memories of special occasions at which I wore it, but those are just yet to come because I think I’ll be wearing this beauty a lot coming fall. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659207665752059083.post-53987416117423236722011-06-16T10:41:00.001-07:002011-06-17T05:42:51.909-07:00Garment of the Moment<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>NL</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

But off course, I have more garments in my closet that I adore. One of those pieces is my nude H&M Blouse. I bought it in January but I didn’t really wear because it had elastic in the waist that made it look a bit cheap-ish and not really flattering. So because I was a bit annoyed by the elastic, I simply didn’t wear it (I know, that’s bad). Just a couple of weeks ago I had an amazing idea: why not remove the elastic?! Since I removed it after my epiphany I just love it! I have worn it so much since then. Everybody thinks it’s made out of silk, but really it’s just viscose. It really does look (and) feel like silk, though. I’ve added some pictures of it so that you can see the difference from the removal of the elastic, and just how it looks. If you ever have the chance of buying that blouse, just do it! The feel and fit are great (much better than a lot of my other H&M garments) you will not regret that purchase. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

Once you've found one that suits you, you can combine almost everything! This way, you don't have to have a lot of garments to match many outfits. For instance, I'm used to sticking to the colours grey, green, beige, (off-)white, pinkish colours and brown. By sticking to my palette, I can just mix and match endlessly. I must say that I'm not really a fan of patterns, because if you are, it can reduse your opportunities to mix it up. To show you what I mean I picked out one of my favourite cheap blouses, my paisley blouse. This is one of the very few patterned garments I own. I bought it a couple of months ago for just 1 euro and I'm so happy with it because it goes with everything! I also like it to be a unique item (it's second-hand and not just antother H&M piece, like so many of my clothes) I can match this blouse with the beige cardigan you can see in the middle of the first picture (which I also own in grey, and it matches with that one too) and the brown jacket a bit more to the left. I know a lot of friends of mine do not pay attention to the colour of the clothes they buy, which often leaves them with a cute piece that's just unmatchable with the rest of their wardrobe. Sometimes they even buy other things just so that they can wear the stuff they've bought earlier! So my tip of the day: choose a colour palette in which you feel comfortable and which may just save you a lot of money on misbuys!</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416754822336827518noreply@blogger.com0
