Girl Power!

Last sunday I was invited to give a "how to present myself" workshop on a girl empowerment day @ Delft.

Young girls from the age of 11 until 16 were invited and could participate with 3 workshops.

* Make your own jewelry * Moodboard your inside * How to present yourself with make-up and fashion

There were also 2 groups of girls who had to buy an entire outfit with a low budget of €15,- As you can see they did an amazing job (the maritime look won)

I am wearing a top and skirt by Bruuns Bazaar (via Trade Studio buy here), wolford tights, black suede over the knee boots by ZARA and once with a black smoking jacket by SANDRO and once with a army blouse by Zadig & Voltaire. 

To show the girls how you can change your look and what you emit towards other people. 

Half of how people respond to you or how they see you, is in your own hands.

This is my philosophy, so when you need some power (couse of a bad mood or a bad night) try to dress yourself with a jacket with shoulder pads and wear red lips.

  

We had lost of fun and I hope I can be there again next year!

TOV Essentials

 Bloggers personalizing a bag of choice!

TOV Essentials showroom with the spring/summer 2013 collection. 

Burning in my logo with a very very very hot pen... that was fun!!!

Showing the result with Sahrissa Lingg. What a sweet, positive, energetic and inspiring woman!

Once in a while I go to a bloggers event. You know I am a busy woman so it has to be a good one :-)

And yes the accessory TOV Essential brand organized a fabulous one.

After a presentation about the history of the brand and about making leather (since 1100 before Christ)  it was time for us bloggers to become creative. 

We could personalize a bag of choice... what? Yes yes yes!!! As a shoe and bag addict....it was an afternoon in heaven. Ad spikes, burn letters in leather (check my name tag) or bead some beads.

TOV is a brand for a woman who wants luxury & quality but for a good price. The bags are all handmade in Italy... "hello" handmade....and the price range is €199,- till €399,- That is way cheaper than my Mulberry but the same quality. Amazing initiative by Sahrissa (who started TOV as a jewelry brand) and her husband.

And I quote "the Dutch woman spends around €30,- per year on a bag" Isn't that terrible?

But you know, if you spend money on a beautiful, quality and luxurious bag, you can never ever go back to a cheap one. 

So check out TOV.nl and spoil yourself! I hate the "you are worth it" line, but it is so tru. Even worse hahahaha :-)

 Dear TOV thank you for inviting me to this amazing event, the helping hand while customizing,

Sahrissa's positive and inspiring energy and thank you for my amazing bag.
