When you take a good look at your wardrobe, you’ll find a way to create whole new outfits just mixing some different styles. Because the weather was still autumnal, I layered plain cotton, lace and suede and threw grey hues and rusty shades together. This is the result.

While you’re reading this post, Digitalista E’s probably ‘blown away’ on one of Holland’s little islands. Reason enough to dress up very warm.

This soft knitted cardigan with black and pink colored stripes is made of mohair. Very warm if we may say it. Finish it with a black tank top, leather shorts and boots.

Pressday Favorites

digitalistas — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:00:09 +0000

We visited the press day of Dutch fashion, beauty and lifestyle brand/warehouse HEMA to have a sneak peek of the SS12 collection.

Our favorites: the knitted puffs, the outdoor carpets (instead of indoor, handy to spice up your roof terrace), ingredients to create your own garden full of herbs (healthy!), the plastic champagne turquoise glasses and even a wine bottle-to-go made of plastic instead of glass (very handy when you’re in your way to a Summer picknick).

HEMA opened the first store in 1926 and is renowned for it’s quality basic products. Not just utility products, but also in the food-segment HEMA has become very famous for the ‘rookworst’. (Smoked saucage to eat with winter comfort food like ‘stamppot’ -mashed potatoes, green cabbage and gravy.)

No worries if you’re not living in The Netherlands. HEMA opened up a store in Paris (near Les Halles) in 2009, and we believe there will be more international affiliates to follow (you can also visit the one in Antwerp).

Find the S/S12 lifestyle collection in the slideshow. More info check www.hema.nl.

Get the Look: Donna Karan S/S 2012

digitalistas — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:00:21 +0000

As per makeup at Donna Karan’s SS 12 show, models wore a very natural look that was dramatically rocked by one final touch: lipstick.

Want to get the look? It’s really quite simple – all you need is the right supplies. Models wore a mix of M.A.C Pro Matte lipsticks in Full Chocolate and Most Mocha, lined with Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Bittersweet.

For your skin, keep it simple with a matte foundation and peachy blush to accent cheekbones. Start with Benefit Cosmetics’ Stray Don’t Stray as a base; the primer will keep concealer from creasing through the day. Next opt for Make Up Forever’s Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation; spread evenly across your face it will decrease any oily shine and even complexion.

A cream blush will finish the look. Try Make Up Forever’s Powder Blush in Rust Orange 36, a matte apricot hue. A quick swipe of Benefit’s High Beam illuminizer under your eyebrows will add the perfect glow.

M.A.C Cosmetics available at M.A.C stores. All other products available at Sephora.

Karl, le DJ

The full video for Karl’s collection launched on Net-a-Porter a week ago, directed by Barnaby Roper. No one else to present a monochrome trend as Karl Lagerfeld does.

He looks well behind the decks as well doesn’t he?! We wouldn’t be surprised if Karl started DJ-ing too as another one of his many creative outbursts…
