Only a few months left and then it’s Christmas! For us the most wonderful time of the year: turkeys (aaah, poor turkeys!), Christmas trees, champaign, Christmas crackers and all those lovely Christmas songs. We love ‘Santa Baby’ from Kylie Minogue. And now we have something else to look forward to: the H&M X-mas collection.
Don’t we all love designer collaborations with high street-labels. British designer Giles Deacon designs his own line for New Look: Gold by Giles. And now his 9th collection is also available in Holland. So if you’re lookin for some party-worthy items, check these! We love the A-symmetric black and white striped dress, but we also fancy this set made of a floral skirt, black embellished top and glamourous sequined ankle-boots…
In 2003 Dutch model Rianne ten Haken‘s star was rising. She made the covers of Numero and Vogue Italia, featured in the La Perla campaign… Then it became a bit quiet, and now she’s back!
Cupcakes are slowly making their way into Holland. The Dutch are very conservative when it comes to pastry, they are more about apple-pies…
But now cupcakes made their entry in the shape of Lily’s cupcakes. Finally!!! They are available at the Dudok cafe’s in Rotterdam, the Hague and Arnhem, but also on several different locations throughout the country. And we found the perfect item to transport your cupcake
It’s always nice to see that people (specially other international bloggers) like your blog! So Thanks fashioNoa for your nice words. Xoxo Dutch Fashion Queens (hihi)
Since Nicholas Ghesquière got on board as the designer of Balenciaga there hasn’t been a fragrance launched yet. That’s probably why the new Balenciaga fragrance– to be launched in February 2010- is highly anticipated for. But now we finally understand why it took so long…Ghesquière has some weird taste when it comes to his favorite scents…
We love everything that breathes fashion, and fashion illustrators also belong to that category. There are three whom we think really deserve some credit.
The best way to pimp a simple black dress or to spice up a pencil skirt is by wearing a nice belt. We found a beautiful Snake Obi belt in the Kate Moss for Topshop Christmas collection. It has that little oriental flava to it! You can also wrap it around a kimono dress for that matter. The belt comes in black or red and costs £35,-.
Ever wondered why the split between the teeth of Lara Stone suddenly became a charming beauty-flaw? She wasn’t the first designer-muse with that special mark. A long time ago some girl just popped out of nothing singing a song called ‘Joe le Taxi’. Her name was Vanessa Paradis. Not a striking beauty, but a particular little bird with a good bonestructure and a split between her teeth. Then the bird got caged by Jean Paul Goude to promote the Coco Chanel fragrance. In 2003 she promoted the collection of Chanel Cambon bags, and now this succesful singer, mother, actress and wife of Johnny Depp will show off her typical smile to promote ‘les rouges’ Chanel: the gorgeous red lipsticks of the brand.
