{Queensday}

Today it's Queensday in Holland, the only time in the year, besides the Football World- and European cup, when the entire country turns orange and all kinds of festivities are being organized.

What I'll be doing by day is not sure yet, just live by the moment. One thing is certain, at night my best friend is having her birthday dinner. If I could afford it I would defenitly wear the outfit below, however that won't be happening, haha. Well except the orange top then ;-) So for my actual outfit of the day, you'll have to wait!

Wonder what plans my dutch readers have today and if they'll be wearing orange as well? Have fun!

Look of the day "A modern western"

Denim always goes with anything. From a more casual look to a slightly more dressed look. The fact that they're so versatile amkes them so popular. I can't help it but denim always seems to remind me of these old western movies with saloons and cowboys, you know. So when coming across this snakeskin detailed clutch it made the whole western look complete. The snakeskin but also the cutout pattern and the denim together make it together with the other items a very modern cowgirl look. The beaded collar is perfect to update any garment and matched well with the Michael Kors heels. What do you think?

Look of the day "Little Starfish"

Just a semi-casual outfit I pulled of the racks with some golden details, like these cap toe shoes from Mango, which I also wore here. I love this necklace with these little strafishes from Blanco; one of my favourite Spanish High street brands besides Zara and Mango. 
Another place where I love to shop is Hong Kong. In particular the area around Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island. They have many teeny tiny boutiques where they sell mainly Korean brands as well as a lot of
Japanese brands. You'll always find the latest trends but just one piece of each, unlike the items you buy at e.g. Zara. That makes it very unlikely to run into someone wearing the same. That's one of the reasons why I love to combine it all en just mix it up and create my own personal style! Just a cocktail made of Spanish, Swedish, British and Asian brands!

Look of the day "Diamonds & Silver"

I am really happy with these ripped jeans I bought this month at Zara and happier when I finally saw this necklace at H&M. It reminds me of the Thomas Binns diamond necklace with splashes of neon yellow, this one is just a lot cheaper! I decided to match it with this great ombre/dip-dye shirt from zara and some good heels, as a finishing touch the silver/metllic envelope clutch from H&M.

It is a comfortable look but because of these accessories it becomes more chic. Add some pop of colour with Essie's 'Braziliant' orange nailpolish and you're ready to go, hope you like it!

Look of the day "Yellow tie"

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend! I headed home to spend the weekend with my boyfriend and just relax and cocoon! So today just a quick outfit picture. Finally wearing my Aldo wedges which I bought last september during the sale in Chicago. Love that city! This jacket remind me of a posh event so mixed up with yellow accents we just call it 'Yellow Tie'; a whole new dresscode ;-) Hope you'll like it! A simple yet chic look with again the great faux leather pants from H&M trend (as seen here).

Look of the day "Tropical Denim"

A few weeks ago I wore these pants together with a gold touch (also see here). Today I decided to mix it up with a denim blouse (also seen here). I like the way the blue colour and denim material gives a contrast to the flashy and colourful pants.

Look of the day "Spikes on Neon"

I love anything from the H&M trend collection! That's also where I found this great faux leather skinny's and neon pink top!
One of the things I love about H&M are the prices. They enable you to look super stylish and on trend without spending your entire budget! The same goes for Zara and other High Street brands.
However I believe the key word is mixing, using different brands and qualities to get a more polished and personal look. Remember it's always a good thing to invest in some quality items!

The blazer and necklace were bought in one of the many boutiques in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. They sell a lot of Japanese and Korean brands there and most of it is one piece only! See also my previous post with the same necklace here.
