Geluk is een jurk

I just read about this book, that's being published february 2012. It  tells the experiences of editor in chief of Elle Cécile Narnix. I think the title is great; Geluk is een jurk (Happines is a dress). I can't wait to read it!

Lots of love, Liselot

La classe de la danse

Yesterday, I've been to Swan Lake with my arts class. This famous ballet is about the story of prince Siegfried who falls in love with Odette, the white swan. He declares his love to her, but actually proposes to the wrong swan, Odile. The ballet was amazing and we really enjoyed the music, dance and costumes. Everybody was clapping when the swans came on stage the first time. They looked magical with their white tutus.



Looking at the theme tutus, I decided to look at ways people use tutus in their clothing. Because tutus are no longer just inspiration for classic ballet, but they're also used in fashion. At the collage above, you can see different ways people used the tutu. At the first picture, you can see a blogger who wears a tutu very casual with a grey shirt. At the second image, a famous painting of Degas is shown who especcialy painted ballerinas. It's called 'La classe de la danse'. At the third image, the white swan from Swan Lake is shown. This is the ballerina, we saw at the ballet yesterday. She wears a traditional tutu which makes her look like a swan, combined with the headpiece. At the middle you can see a special edition of 'Flowerbomb' by Viktor & Rolf. They used the theme ballet, and gave their limited edition bottle a tutu. The image next to the image is also from Viktor & Rolf. It's a piece from a very famous collection they made, in which they used a lot of tulle, where tutus are also made from. The last foto has been taken at Fashion Week by a streetstyle photographer. The material and shape of the skirt are inspired by the traditional tutu.

Below, a trailer of Swan Lake, I've been to yesterday. It gives a good impression of the magic of ballerinas in tutus!

Lots of love, Liselot

bye bye

YES! I'm finally able to laugh with my mouth opened. No more hiding my teath!

je veux

I'm not planning on wearing such an outfit to school, but I'm looking for a nice Christmas outfit. Like all the other 'je veux's', this outfit isn't near to my budget. I spotted the dress today, while working. It's got some beautiful embellished details at the sleaves, which make this LBD a special one. I've combined it with some gold and bronze.

Black embellished dress  French Connection €229,95
Bronze clutch Mulberry €444
Golden necklace Kenneth Jay Lane €111
High heeled sandals Yves Saint Laurent €1327

only item left

I just took a look at the H&M shop. There are still a few items left from the Versace collection and I actually kind of like this one. I think it's more a summer skirt, to wear with a loose white tanktop. But in a winter outfit, I could wear it with a black blouse, tights and heels.

I'm gonna sleep a night on it.

Lots of love, Liselot
