Business As Usual...

My Perfect Business Outfit 

Swirling Cameleon

I thought it was time to do a little update on the lay out of my blog. What I wanted to do for a while now is using the button Rosie from Craftbotic made for me in the header. So I did a little DIY Blog Metamorphosis. 

And the result is somewhat different... To be honest I have to get use to the new lay out, but I quite like it. It is more playful, softer and cuter. But I am not yet sure if maybe it comes off as... a bit childish... too happy.... Well I will leave it like this for now and see if I can get used to it... If not I might change it back as it was.

What do you think? Is it a change for the better or did you like the old lay-out? Or do you have an idea on the header of my blog? I would love to hear your input!

Fashion inspiration from past times

Have you ever watched the TV show "Mad Men"? It is set in the 1960s in a time where the women are dressed so elegantly and feminine. So today I will be sharing some of my favorite clothing items and styles from past times. Times like the 'roaring' 20s, the 30's all way to the 70's where women made bald fashion statements such as polka dots, floral prints, maxi dresses and tie and dye prints. All trends that we have seen over the last years and I must admit some of these past fashion trends are in my closet.

Here is an overview of my favorites!

1920s

1930s

1940s

1950s

1960s

1970s

Which style is your favourite? I especially love the 50s and 60s because women dressed so elegantly and über feminine.

Let me know what you think!

Welcome to my dark side

Today is all about black.... It could be that it reflects my current mood... But it also reflects my obsession with all things black. I love black jewelry, black clothes and especially black shoes! But even so I don't wear all black all the time. Why not? Well because I also like a lot of other colours. And I love to vary with clothes and shoes... 

The words "If you never try you'll never know" are so me! It is a phrase I strongly believe in and I try to apply to all things I do. If it concerns clothing, shoes, trying new recipes, movies and also when it comes to changing jobs. The last item is something that is very current since I am going to change my job per March 1st. As much as it is exciting it is also scary because you never know what you get back in return. But I am convinced that I made the right choice and I actually can't wait to start my new job and meet new people, learn new things and be challenged again.

Back to the collage, it has nothing to do with starting a new job, but I just wanted to give you some "Back to Black" inspiration before starting the weekend! All items have something to do with things I love and each item is so me... or at least I like to think so... 

1. I love peplum it is also very flattering
2. The shoes are sexy but still chic and tres feminine!
3. Here is a little secret, I am obsessed with all things (faux) fur that's why I added this coat. Just for the record, I love fur but I would NEVER buy a new fur coat. If I would ever buy a fur coat it would be a second hand coat. Which is still debatable but at least it doesn't stimulate the production of new fur coats.... 
4. I would love to own the below skirt in real leather
5. The bag is feminine but it also has a slight edge (which I love)
6. The "LOVE" bracelet, well I am still very much in love with my boyfriend (we have our 5 year anniversary this June) and with this bracelet I can show everybody I am a believer in love.
7. And last but not least the necklace.... I love how a simple item such as a cross is used to make the perfect "statement" necklace.
