oh, my lady victoria.. (#2)

As I promised, my very own Victorian looks, modern style of course. I wouldn't have thought it would work out this well.. Of course you could do a better job but for my laziness, it's quite good.











Shirt, skirt: gift - Purse: gift (Guess) - Hat: my mom's - Shoes: little shop in Portugal - Gloves: H&M.












Blue shirt, purse: my mom's - Dress: Ross - Skirt: French market - Blazer: H&M.

These looks actually wearable on a casual day, I think. I got so inspired I wanted to wear it instantly, but I just need a few pairs of tights for under it now, in matching colors. Try going out bare-legged with this weather! It's snowing!

(These are two looks of for. This means there will be a third part of the Victorian posts.)

as she wondered through the night

I've been shopping once again. I didn't buy much, but both my purchases are (by accident) good for the Victorian looks (of which I'll post two today or tomorrow).











Lace leggings and orange angora gloves, both H&M. My outfit for the day:











Sweater, skirt: H&M - Tights: Hema - Shoes: Adidas.

won't keep no promises, no

I think I could be one of those bloggers promising to post stuff tomorrow tomorrow and the day after.. and not do it. I haven't found much time to post, because of this Dutch holiday that I have to buy gifts for and make some 'surprise present' for.. For the rest, I'm also busy with school and activities outside of that.. But today I'll post the three outfits I wore Tuesday, Wednesday and today. (In that order)

Tuesday: Top/shirt: Tommy Hilfiger @ outlet - Skirt: H&M - Tights: Hema? - Shoes: Dr. Adams.

Wednesday: Sweater: some shop in France - White shirt: Tommy Hilfiger @ outlet - Skirt: some gift - Tights: Hema - Belt: my mom's - Shoes: Converse All Star @ V&D

Thursday (today): Hoodie: Madewell (with village on it!) - Jeans: Levi's - Shawl: don't know - Shoes: Dr. Adams.

you've made me so creative.

I have been missing days because I was sick. My mom made it worse than it was, it was just a cold and I'm only a bit sniffy now. I'll probably post my outfit from today tomorrow, because I just don't feel like it.. sorry! 

I also haven't been dressing up Victorian style, because I found out about the pathetic amount of laces and bows in my wardrobe. I'll just have to improvise to the fullest, that's not really the problem, it's more that I don't feel like anything today.. that's what sickness does to you! But for now, a few inspiring people. There's nothing wrong about that, now is there?

oh, my lady victoria.. (#1)

I've always been some kind of interested in and amazed by the pretty long gowns full of bows and lace that were worn in the Victorian Age. I feel it could be a great inspiration but also quite a challenge, to portray this look in modern way. I suppose you could just walk around with long veils on a dress that reaches far behind you and makes people trip, but how great it may sound, it's not way too convenient in the 21st century.

I'll try and get something out of my wardrobe sometime to "fake" all of this Victorian beauty, and I'd love to see you dress up as well if you'd like. Get out anything lacy, bowy and elegant and see what you can do! I can't be the only one who loves this look..

Why to love 'Moschino'.

A few reasons why I love the Moschino brand so much.. in picture.

First three are fall 2008, second three are spring 2009, last five are my favorite, Moschino Cheap and Chic spring 2008.
