The art of dressing

My philosophy is;

I dress, how I want to be seen that day.

Do I want to be sleek and cool in Acne? Or, do I rather wear colorful prints from Versace?

Sure, it ain't easy, to be yourself and express yourself through clothes. Because you will stand out. Sometimes even hear rude comments of people going by. Like: ''you are desperate for attention'' or ''she thinks she is cool''

It is hard to stand by your choices. But I rather be different and unique, than blend in with everyone without any personality.

Some people express themselves through music or poetry. Which is by my opinion much easier, because you can hide it. Or simply not share it. But with clothing, is the exact opposite. Your clothing is public, it is for everyone to see, comment and judge.

Beauty essentials; Skincare

As everyone, there are some things my skin can't live without. Previously i only used the three-step system from Clinique.

Of course I changed my routine to other products from different brands. But it always ended with coming back to Clinique. Obviously because I didn't find anything better.

But a few days ago, I bought some new products from Shiseido. From the pureness-line. They are so good, moisturizing without being oily. Clearing without drying out the skin. Simply perfect.

Wait, did I mention the smell? It smells like fresh laundry.

Back from Italy

Came home from Italy at 01:30 am, was quite tired. So I slept through the day. 

Just wanted to say that I'm alive, because I have not wrote here for a while. Did not even have time to go through the pictures from Italy, yet. 

A post will come up later today

My weekly playlist; week 2

Tiffanys in Florence

Today, one among all stores I went to was: Tiffanys. 

Actually I was pretty disappointed. The range of products was small. The display contained about 30 pieces of jewelry.

 I was at the orginal Tiffanys store at 5th avenue in New York. Which is enormous. 

So I just had to compare this store in Florence to the one in New York. 

Did not buy anything because they did not have the earrings I wanted. 

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for Bik Bok

A collaboration between The Row sisters and the norwegian brand: Bik Bok has been released during this week.

Yesterday, I swung by a Bik Bok store to look at the collection. As always with the collaborations, the fabrics looked cheap. Even the (real) leather jackets were shiny. They looked and felt like faux leather.

Sure, if you love the style of the siblings and will never afford any piece from The Row. Then it is just to buy everything you want.

But if you appreciate quality and craftmanship as I. You would rather save the money for a couple of years and buy somethings chic and timeless from The Row.That will last for ages and never go out of style, such as a leather jacket.
