Better late than never, right?
I'm so busy the last time, that I just didn't had the time to tell you how the Mexx style event was last month.
Probably you have already seen the blogposts from Joyce and Rosanna, but here is my update finally.
When Mexx asked me to give a styling session, I was flattered. As you maybe know in the meantime I'm styling photoshoots, so styling for a famous brand like Mexx was awesome!
Actually I really didn't know what to expect during the styling session in the Mexx shop in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam, but I can tell you: it was fun!
The people I helped were so nice to work with, they wanted to try everything that I gave them and almost liked every single piece.
I would definitely doing a styling session like this again. Thanks Mexx and Fashiolista for this great opportunity!

As I already told you a few days ago this Saturday, the 10th of November, there will be a really nice styling event at the Mexx store in the Kalverstraat in the centre of Amsterdam.

What the day will give you:
There will be a dj playing some great music during the day and bloggers Joyce, Rosanna, Lucy and me will style a few people during a 1 hour styling session (per person) in a full Mexx outfit. After the styling session you can buy the outfit or some of the clothes with 35% off! But there's also a change to win your whole outfit! Sounds great, huh?!
Joyce and I are gonna style people from 11am till 2pm and the other girls are having their styling session from 2pm till 5pm.
So if you're in Amsterdam this Saturday, come to the Mexx store in the Kalverstraat for a lot of fun!
Would be more than great to meet you over there!

 

Last thursday I went to the christmas collection presentation of River Island.
It's still summer, so I was not totally into the christmas spheres, but WOW.. the collection blowed me away!
I was really surprised, it looked like a real designer collection. Actually it reminded me of the Balmain fall/winter 2012 collection with a lot of  beads, pearls and a perfect eye for detail.
So the most pictures I made are detailpics, hope you like them!

 

Last week Phuong and I went to an event of Shoeby at Hotel V in Amsterdam.
For the ones who doesn't know Shoeby at all, I'll introduce you the brand in a small story:
Shoeby is a Dutch brand/store with a lot of perfect basics like tees, trousers and so on, mixed with great eyecatchers like some beautiful jackets and accessoires (which I've seen at the event and the online shop). As example they sell the brands Zoï, Eksept and Vila (definitely my 3 favourites).

Let's go back to the event: Why Shoeby organized a party was because they have a brand new face for their collection, the dutch Leontien Borsato.
Leontien Borsato was called the best dressed woman in The Netherlands and of course she was at the event to tell us something about her own style and about the style of Shoeby. Between some short catwalk shows, Leontien told us her beauty secrets which you can see here.

The spring/summer collection really surprised me! A lot of lime green mixed with some black and whites, but also many earth toned clothes with a 'hippie'-twist (which you can see at the 1rd and 4th picture). I think at Shoeby there's something for everyone and almost every style.
Didn't knew Shoeby was so versatile!
