Je m'appelle Kim

Just a quick picture-loaded update!

Shirt: H&M
Jeans: H&M
Blazer: Zara
Heels: NewLook
Circle scarf: Claire's
Wore it with rings and a big bracelet!

The first two items I spotted at H&M: a bandage skirt with panels for just 10 pounds (if I'm right) and very cool high-waisted jeans leggings with knee pads for about 20 pounds! Loved those, but didn't buy them.
The outfit I wore to Fashion Weekend, which was so much fun by the way!

Quickly

2009-09-24T01:41:00.001+02:00

Just a short in between post before I go to bed.
I've been to Somerset House again and I managed to make some (slightly unclear pictures) that I'll upload as soon as possible! Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find a new cable for my camera, so that's still causing the delay.. I've also got some outfit pictures up on my camera, so I really hope to be able to do a proper update soon!
AND, not to forget: I'm going to fashion weekend this saturday! I'm really excited (what to wear, what to wear?!) and I'll - hopefully - make loads of pictures, that I will of course share here ;).
Will be back soon, with pictures!

Fashion Week and more

2009-09-19T20:41:00.004+02:00

London Fashion Week has officially begun – and it shows. Passing Somerset House two days ago was absolute eye candy (and also slightly intimidating). There were jaloersmakende high (!) heels, amazing dresses, expensive designer bags, shiny long hair and fashionably dressed men and women everywhere. I might go back there one of these days to (hopefully) get some nice pictures. I’m also hoping to go to fashion weekend, but the tickets are quite expensive, so I’m not sure yet.Other than that, there’s not much going on in London. I think my ex-roommate by accident took my camera-cable, so I need to borrow someone else’s every time I want to upload my photos. Going to buy a new cable soon (so updating will be easier again from then on).I’m also following a fashion&design course in school, by the way, which is really good! I’m a drawing disaster, so it’ll need a lot of work, but! I’ve started designing. Will put up some pictures once I’ve worked out some designs.This is what I wore a long while ago on a very cold and rainy day.

Dress: H&M
Skirt: DIY from tanktop
Tights: H&M
Boots: New Look

And there's no sun, nothing but clouds

Busy busy busy and therefore not as many updates as I'd hoped. It seems summer is definitely over and I am still in desperate need of a winterwardrobe. Unfortunately, my bankaccount tells differently.Went to the Thames Festival last saturday and sunday, which was really nice! Forgot to make some outfit pictures, but I might do that later. For now, pictures of something I wore last week (I know, it's ages ago!) - very simple, but I felt like something comfortable. Wore it with heels to go out for SNOGs (frozen yoghurt with amazing toppings) and drinks in the evening.

Top: Topshop
Pants: Zara
Sandals: H&M
Necklace: H&M

London is expensive, but shopping here is o so tempting! And I just had to give in. I didn't go completely crazy though - I visited Topshop and Urban Outfitters and then decided I'd spent enough money for one day. Spent the rest of the afternoon in Covent Garden, which was really nice - I just love street musicians!Ooh btw, I didn't even tell you yet, but one of my optional courses here is fashion and design! I've got two classes a week, which equals 2 hours and 40 minutes - and I love it! My teacher is simply brilliant. Anyhow, I'll tell you more about all that once I've had some more classes. A quick picture-summarize of my day:

Ended up buying all of these items! I love basics. Urban Outfitters

Pictures arent't very clear - sorry! I only realize now how much H&M I'm wearing haha. Anyhow:
Skirt, tanktop, belt, shoes, tights: H&M
Scarf: Pieces
Hat: Some store in France

London, baby!

2009-09-06T22:03:00.008+02:00

God, I suck at all things that need regular attention (think plants, fish, rooms that require tidying and - indeed - my blog). I'm sorry for the immense lack of updates! I will try to make it up sometime soon ;)
Anyhow, I've been in London for exactly two weeks now and one of the first results was that I feel like I have to change my entire wardrobe. (Some) people here have such an amazing style! I should really start making pictures. But it was to be expected, as Oxford Street is absolute heaven and (even better) as there is a huge shopping mall near my residence! I'm staying really close to Notting Hill, which - I think - is a perfect location. So far I haven't bought that much yet (must say things are quite expensive here), but I will need clothes for the winter (and parties!), so I think I'll go on a shoppingspree sometime soon.
So what have I done? Not that much actually! I've met up with an old friend, enjoyed the wonderful parks (I love them), have been to the zoo and the fashion and photography department of the Victoria&Albert museum. And to school (and Starbucks!) of course.Well, I think this is enough talking for today! I'll post some pictures of London and an outfit I wore last week to close this first London post!

I actually wore it with a big grey circle scarf to dress it down some more, and I put my hair up casually with a silver chain headband and wore bright red lipstick.. just to give you an idea of what the entire picture looked like haha.
Dress: New Look
Cardigan: Primark
Belt: H&M
Chain headband: Primark
Heels: Van Haren
Scarf (not in picture): Pieces
Tights: H&M

Sorry!

2009-08-20T12:29:00.005+02:00

For the lack of updates lately. I've just been busy packing, saying bye to friends and spending as much time as possible with my boyfriend, as I'm leaving for London sunday and won't be back 'till Christmas. I do have an outfit picture, but I still have to upload it onto my computer. I also bought an amazing pair of shoes at Van Haren a couple of days ago, so I'll make a picture of those as well, as soon as possible. Mean while, I'll upload some picture I've saved on my computer over the past year or so, as inspiration.

In dreams..

2009-08-15T23:02:00.006+02:00

A new in dreams. There's probably a lot more that I'd like to have appeared in my closet the next time it's opened, but I didn't feel like visiting more sites right now haha. The sequined waistcoat is from H&M, the rest from Topshop, except for the necklace, which is from renéesturme.

Look du jour

2009-08-15T22:23:00.002+02:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my computer didn't allow me to log in anywhere, so I wasn't able to post. Anyhow, not really a look du jour, as it is what I wore yesterday and two days ago. Slightly unclear pictures, as I was in a hurry and a part is made at like 02:00 last night.This is what I wore two days ago. Went to Harry Potter with my boyfriend in the evening and just hang out with him the rest of the day.

Top: H&M
Shorts: Vero Moda
Legging: Pieces
Blazer: Zara
Boots: Invito
Necklace: H&M

And this is what I wore yesterday, with the boyfriend again haha. Just a comfy outfit with my new H&M dress (well, ít's actually meant to be a shirt, but I bought it two sizes to big and I think it makes a lovely dress this way).

Dress: H&M
Blazer: Zara
Tights: H&M

No interesting outfit from today unfortunately. I had so many plans, but I end up doing nothing (which might not have been that good an idea). So more to come soon!

Okay, so, maybe I'm a bit lazy. It took me forever to start unpacking (and my shoes are still crammed in one of the suitcases) and even longer to upload the pictures onto my computer.

Au revoir, France

2009-08-11T14:39:00.003+02:00

After a holiday of nearly a month, I got back home yesterday and I have to say that I'm not quite used to Dutch weather again yet (why did I return just after the extremely nice weather-days?). Still very busy unpacking, washing and cleaning up, but an update with holiday pictures and purchases (both less than I'd hoped for, unfortunately..) will hopefully follow soon.

The next 12 days will consist of a lot of boyfriendtime, watching movies, hopefully a shoppingtrip to Amsterdam this thursday, hanging out with friends, visiting family and then I'm off to London on the 23th of August! To return with Christmas (probably). So: 18 weeks of Topshop, Newlook, Primark, little vintage stores and markets, The Cute British Accent and more London-awesomeness (and London weather, but all the rest will make up for that). Can't wait!

Interior

2009-07-12T10:59:00.000+02:00

I love interior design. Actually my interest only dates back a year or so, but that doesn't make me less.. well, interested. So I thought I'd share some photo's. I have no idea where I got them all from anymore, unfortunately.

Look du jour

2009-07-12T10:41:00.000+02:00

Well, yesterday's outfit actually, but I didn't have time to blog. I was too busy packing and my boyfriend came over for the evening. So I'll just cheat a little and still post it as 'look du jour'. Pictures aren't the best, but I still have to find a good spot for taking them.

Dress: H&M
Belt: Pieces
Heels: Van Haren
Necklaces: V&D, H&M and some store in Nice

I'm off for a short blog-start by the way, as I'm leaving for France this monday morning (way too early!!) for a holiday of nearly a month! I'll be back the 10th or 11th of august. But I will be back with loads of holiday outfits (hopefully), or holiday pictures at least.

Look du jour

2009-07-10T22:18:00.000+02:00

This is what I'm wearing today and this evening for going out for drinks with some friends.

All the things that would fit perfectly into my wardrobe, if only I had a cute little money tree growing in my backyard..

Very first time

2009-07-10T17:48:00.000+02:00

Finally. I've been considering starting a blog for ages.. but never really got up to it. But now I finally have. So let me introduce myself! I'm Kim, 17 years old and at this moment still living in the Netherlands, somewhere near Amsterdam, but..! I'll soon be moving to first London, then Paris and then Nice for school for all together a period of a year! I'm so excited. And it's part of the reason I've finally decided to start this blog. So I'll try to keep it up and of course I hope it'll be visited!
