Michele visits AFW

Yesterday I went to see the Custo Barcelona show at Amsterdam Fashion Week. I'd been wanting to visit Fashion Week, but well, you kind of need an invitation, so that was out of the question. Through a friend who knew a friend, I was able to get tickets and check out the Custo Barcelona show.

So, by the look of these pictures, I wasn't exactly front row, haha! But I liked watching the show and experiencing this for the first time. The two looks above were my favourite, the black dress was sexy and had a nice goth-chic feel to it, something I'd definitely wear. And I liked the print on the hoodie. Also really liked the bright orange lipstick. Overall, this collection was a bit on the safe side. I thought everything was very wearable and commercial. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing! I hope to visit AFW again in the future!

outfit: simple

hat; H&M, turtleneck; H&M, jeans; Dr. Denim(old), belt; V&D

I wanted to take some decent outfit photos outside today, but rain and grey skies prohibited me from doing so. Bummer. On to the outfit! This seems to have become a uniform of sorts for me; a turtleneck and black skinny jeans. Obviously I got bored and decided that I needed a belt. A tan belt with a silver buckle. Well guess what? They didn't sell it anywhere. There were tan belts with gold buckles, tan belts with glitter and studs, but not exactly what I was looking for. So of course I did what I always do in desperate times. Look in the mens department! Haha! Sometimes I wish men and womens clothing wouldn't be so separated. But anyway, I'm pretty happy with this belt that I got at V&D (Dutch department store).


I also wore my Nelly 'hard rock boots', that are owned by pretty much every fashion blogger out there. Oh well, I like them! Below are my running shoes that I need to break out way more.

Shit Fashion Girls Say

I just HAD to share this with you guys! Cracking up over here!

DIY chain rings

I'd been thinking about rings like these that you could stack and rearrange whichever way you wanted, but I could never find them! Never even crossed my mind to make them myself. Until I read A Pair & a Spare's DIY post about it. They were very easy to make! So what do you think?

sale shopping

furry beanie; H&M, messenger bag; Paper Chase at Bijenkorf, poncho vest; H&M

Sale shopping. Sometimes awesome, but usually disappointing. I've read a lot of great tips on several blogs on how to go sale shopping, and I put a few of them to the test. One of my first questions when going shopping is, 'what do I need?'. Well, I needed a hat or beanie, so I got this furry one at H&M for 0,80 cents! That's ridiculous right? Also, I needed a vest, So I got this poncho vest for 5,40 euro! And lastly, I needed a messenger bag, not the latest it-bag I know, but it is great for carrying around my laptop, papers, books, and all those other non-fashionable items. It helps that I LOVE the print and it doesn't make me look like a complete dork. It was on sale for 13,25 euro. So in the end I didn't even spend a lot of money, and got the stuff that I needed without getting sidetracked.
