MY FAVORITES: Fashion Blogger 10x

Hi guys! First I want to apologize for the three week of silence on my blog. I had a lot of important tests in the last couple of weeks at school and I had to focus on them. I think it’s a pity that I have to leave blogging on the table on that kind of moments, but at the moment it is what is it. Fortunately, now the test week is over, I’m facing some less hectic weeks and I can start blogging again. Hurray!

I spend my free time partly on bloglovin.com, a site where you can follow other bloggers so you can see for example their latest outfits post or the newest review of a beauty product. Also, people can follow you blog, what will cause you reach a larger audience so more people get in touch with your blog. On the right on this page you can see how many people are following my blog. Thus far the number of followers is 82, so almost 100! I’m really looking forward to reach this milestone :) 

On the moment I follow over 100 blogs, but of course I don’t read all the articles that bloggers whom I follow post. I have simply no time for that. Nevertheless I always try to read the articles of certain bloggers because I get a lot of inspiration from them that I sometimes can process in my own style and clothing choices. The bloggers who I’m talking about are mainly fashion bloggers, ‘cause I’m not so much engaged in make-up yet. For this week’s article I want to share my favorite fashion bloggers with you. Enjoy!

1) Negin Mirsalehi based in Amsterdam

STREET STYLE: Moscow Fashion Week SS15

Hi there! In September we all followed Fashion Week Milan, New York, London and Paris closely. Even if you couldn’t been there in person, like me, social media made sure that you kept up to date. The above-mentioned cities are of course the crème de la crème of Fashion Week so only the most famous designers can show their newest collections there. Last week it was Fashion Week in Moscow, a lot less popular but should definitely not be forgotten.

One of the nicest things about Fashion Week is the street style that comes with it. You see the most fascinating outfits passing by and that gives me such a huge inspiration boost! That’s why I’ve collected for this weeks article the best FW Moscow street style pics. Let’s get inspired!

Where do you get your inspiration from?

LET'S DISCUSS: Alexander Wang x H&M Collection

Hey loves! Holiday is for me unfortunately almost over and tomorrow I’m back in the classroom. I’ve enjoyed this free week so much: I've slept in, watched Netflix a lot (I’ve discovered a new series “Once Upon A Time” and I highly recommend it!), read a book which I hadn’t done for a long time ‘cause I had too little time and spend a day in my former hometown Amsterdam. It was nice to go back to my old neighborhood Oud-West and see what’s changed. What really made me happy to see was that it’s totally brightened up with cute little cafes in former vacant buildings such as “Bar Spek” and “Berry”. Nice to visit sometime!
In brief: I had a really nice week. How was your week?

Yes, yes, yes! The moment where Fashion World has waited for so long is finally here: the annual cooperation of H&M with a great designer is within a few days finally for sale. This year it’s Alexander Wang’s turn and that bodes very well. Though the collection is not available until November 6th (a few lucky ones have been able to obtain a few items), it does has already been released. Below are all the items of the Alexander Wang x H&M collection. Enjoy!
If I’m being totally honest I have to say that I find it a bit disappointing. It’s too sporty if you ask me and I think it’s a pity that the logo WANG or the initials AW are abound. Yet I’m a big fan of some items including the leather backpack and leather pants. The black cocoon coat is also really beautiful! 
In short: it’s not quite what I expected but there are a few gems in between.

I’m very curious what you think of this collection. Feel free to give your opinion in the comments below ‘cause that’s the whole point of a “LET’S DISCUSS-post”. 

What do you think of the Alexander Wang x H&M collection?

Love,
Roos

INSPIRATION: Autumn/Winter Outerwear

Happy Sunday everyone! While I’m writing this I’m lying in my sweatpants and hoodie on the couch enjoying this lazy Sunday. I have nothing to do today because I’ve FI-NA-LY vacation! I’ve been looking forward to doing nothing and not having to study for so long and I’m happier than ever that it’s finally here. I haven’t scheduled anything (except a day in Amsterdam which I’m really looking forward to) and decided that I’m going to read and watch Netflix a lot. After this free week I have a few busy weeks with tons of tests, presentations and a lot of homework so I have to focus 100% at school. Therefore I’m going to enjoy this week even more and experience the ultimate laziness.

Upcoming Tuesday I’m going to Amsterdam. I’m very excited for it because I'll have some quality time with my mom and it’s also a good opportunity to expand my fall wardrobe. I’ve already make a list of the things I’d like to buy in A’dam. The thing I always do before going on a shopping trip is to search for inspiration on Pinterest for example, so I can see what the trends are this season and see what goes with my style. Since coats and jackets are returning every fall and winter and a nice coat is high on my wishlist, I thought it’d be nice to share my finds with you. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

What kind of coat is on your wishlist?
