Get bejeweled by Thomas Sabo’s flashing colors and Charm Rose
With a focus on anything ‘POP’, the new collection beholds tons of really funny, cute and interesting pieces in neon colors such as pink, green and yellow. You can be a rebel at heart by sporting the skull rings and guitar necklaces or be poppy fresh by wearing anything in the shape of bright red blown up lips. And although I can’t stand her poppy tunes, the brand maximized exposure by picking Katy Perry for leading lady in the Pop campaigns. (..more)

The Fashion Lisst combines high-fashion bargains with a good cause
At times I can spend hours drooling over my dashboard while browsing the newest and most expensive collections out there, but I refuse to live on just peanut butter sandwiches for a month to be able to get that Chanel 2.55. If you are anything like me, I can assure you that now, you no longer have to live with the agony of having to say goodbye to those precious goodies I am referring to. (..more)
Amsterdam’s BLEND Magazine goes abroad to spread the good word
In an era where selling actual magazines and newspapers has become harder and harder, it pleases me that there is still hope for those not willing to go down the mainstream path. Call it idealism, but I love seeing underground magazines grow and in this case, even expand to the next level. (..more)
Come as you are and bring your wallet to the Roparosa pre-sale
You may remember Roos, the designer of Roparosa, from the last season of the Dutch show Project Catwalk. And last month Tamar already informed you about their latest collection; gushing about the wearable yet fashionable pieces that the show beheld. Usually, us normal folks have to leave our desires at the door the minute a fashion show ends. I mean after all, not many of us have the luxury of buying the extravagant pieces that are often showed during fashion week. However this time my friends, the tide is about to turn. (..more)

Shoe brand AliveShoes exceeded my expectations and dragged me into its crazy, arty game world.

Their gaming concept is a lot simpler than it may sound. AliveShoes aims to provide a brand new design experience by combining art, fashion (shoes) and gaming into one. (..more)

Last Friday, Yoga and me attended the launch of Eastpak Artist Studio in the nine streets in Amsterdam. Eastpak always takes me on a trip down memory lane, back when I used to drag my life belongings back and forth to school in one every single day. (..more)
