Paris

Every year me and my BFF make a spring city trip.

You know just two girls getting inspired by new images, scents, laughter and beautiful food & wines.

Searching for the most beautiful pieces of fabric, art or the perfect pair of black suede heels.

Off course we already seen Paris but I miss the city....... so let's go again soon girlfriend!

Anna Vie progress

The best part of this insanely fun project I am doing, is making al the decisions.

About colors, silk thickness, washing soap, choosing buttons and even safety pins for the hangtag.

Well I am LOVING every minute of it.

Next week the last samples before production will arrive......oh my ..oh my...I can't wait.

Janne Schra - Different (official video)

Yes...the video of Janne Schra is released!

What do you think? I am very proud of our hard work and well I am a fan... so love the song.

Bisou Anna

This video contains 98% Janne Schra in a wide selection of colors, flavors and shapes, and 2% Tim Haars. He's different anyway! The video is a wink-and-a-nod to Janne's favorite Michael Jackson video, 'Black or White,' which really should have done that thing at the end for a lot longer, and describes in a nutshell how she's always drawn to change in general.

'Thanks a lot Basha de Bruijn (director) and Johannes de Jong of Cadans post-production for making this amazing montage in a stuffy little room while everyone else was enjoying the sunshine.Thanks Judith Pronk (make-up) for changing my face drastically yet tastefully, without going for the unibrow.Thanks Florine Eijgenraam (styling) for your effort to get everything together and letting me wear your lovely handmade accessories. Thanks awesome designers Anneloes Ouwehand, Sabine Staartjes and Pauline Van Dongen. Sjiek Boutique and all the labels: Edith & Ella, One thea spoon, Ted Baker, Donna Donella, Anne Gorke, Second Female, Mimi et Toi and Tony Cohen. No light no sight, so thanks Berend Holtkamp. And Monique Snoek for all the help!' Let's do it again sometime... or maybe this was enough change for the rest of my life!'

Lighting....

One of the advantages of my job as a make-up artist, is that I can ask the professional wizards of light

to shoot my picture/ outfit for my little blog.

So last week at the end of the day working @ the BlowUpStudio it was my turn to stand in the light.

A big thank you again Hans de Kort for shooting this outfit post in a professional setting and lightning.

At my age a girl is very happy with that :-)

DIY

In this time of crisis more and more people think twice before buying new clothes.

Vintage, second hand, exchange parties, flea markets and DIY (do it yourself)

One of the magazines I work for is the Dutch "KNIPmode" 

It is around for ages and have great patterns, like these pictures/patterns

You van become your own designer. Pick your fabric, pattern and DIY!
