As predicted and expected the blogging theme at summertime in this digital forum is all about shorts, dresses and colors. In my holiday daze I follow the stream and make this post a “jeans-shorts” one. The choice came to me rather randomly as so many good things appear since I wasn’t in the mood of finding myself a pair, yet still grasped the ONLY jeans on my way to the dressing room (arms full of clothes, of course). They fitted very well and had a comfortable short-length (not too long so that the large leg part still gets a proper tan, not too short to be looking… well, too revealing I guess.)

What I particularly like about this pair is how it’s pretty simply cut, yet slightly rolled up – I am nuts about rolled up pants these days – both for short pants and long pants, for men and women. It adds a certain effortlessness to an outfit and allows you to combine it with something more elegant like a silky white shirt. On top of that, I’d recommend the shirt to be quite loose, either buy some sizes too big or borrow (/steal!) one from your boyfriend or brother. To finish my outfit I spiced the overall look up with a provocative dark lipstick, but I’ll leave that part up to you.

Now – get back out in the sun!

Are you ready for the festival season? We have got some amazing festivals here in the Netherlands like Dancevalley, Mysteryland, Pinkpop. But Lowlands is definitely my favorite festival, it is a three day festival with music, theater, food and markets, totally amazing!

But what are you going to wear at a festival? You want to be comfortable and looking chic at the same time, don’t you?  There are a couple of style rules at festivals. Denim shorts or shorts in general are a big plus combined with a simple tee. Bohemian dresses with flower prints are also really a do. Rubber wellies are stylish and handy when the weather is kind of unpredictable and denim jackets and denim blouses are a must as well.

This is my festival outfit. I am wearing denim shorts, flag printed top and a denim shirt from ONLY and a Pieces bag.

Happy festival season!

4th of July and we do celebrate the American Independence, and as you can see this day I get my inspiration from the American flag.

To talk about America is not only interesting because of that, but also because of the upcoming autumn and its fashion. Soon you will see some of the news for the AW season in store, and don’t get too surprised if you will see the influences from USA. On one hand, there will be a nice high school girl with boyish style mixed with a nice twist of the retro fashion we’ve had recently. The 70s will stay a bit longer.

And at the other hand we will see inspiration from the Native Americans and their down to earth colors and amazing prints. A lot of mustard yellow you will see. And the already loved feathers will have a real high moment this autumn, not only as decorations but as prints as well.

But this is just a few words of what you will see, let’s get back to the summer a while more. And on this day, what’s your inspiration?

Who wears short shorts? I wear short shorts! And you’ll probably too this summer.
This summer is all about shorts in all sorts of fabrics, colors and styles. Let’s all hope the sun will hit us hard the next couple of months, so we can all show off our gourgeous legs. You don’t have to be a stick figure to wear shorts. If your legs are toned and firm, you’ll pull them off fors ure. Not quite catching the summer tan? No problemo, just put ons ome fake tan. But be careful with that, you don’t want end up with stained or orange legs. Moderation is key.

So back to the shorts. I allready have my favorites for the summer arranged in my closet.

I’m really a denim loving girl. Yeah, I know that might be something that’s kind of taken for granted when writing here. But what I want this to lead to is really the fact that even though I really can’t count all of my jeans anymore, I really haven’t found a really flattering pair of denim shorts that looks just the way I want them to. I can tell you I’ve tried a lot of them and have surely bought a few of the ones I found. They are hot for the moment, but it hasn’t been what I’ve been looking for. But a few days ago I tried a pair of my ONLY jeans and realized that they had the perfect fit. To be a pair of shorts.

And you’ve seen earlier that if I want to change some pieces to look the way I like them to, I do. And so I did this time as well. What I was looking for was a pair of tight blue high waist shorts, with studs. Something like the ones on the pic. And now I’m close to that, just need to get the studs on. But I’m close to the thought of my perfect denim shorts, don’t you think?
