Femke's Favorite Instagram Accounts

Hi,

Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite instagrammers. I love Instagram. I just love to see the beautiful pictures of other people and what they've been up to lately. It also really inspires me for my own style. So if you want to know who I think you must follow, keep reading:

@alexcentomo 

Alex her instagram account is probably my favorite out of all! I just love all her pictures! I think she is my biggest fashion icon. Her style is just perfection (I know that's kind of a weird word, but that's the only way I can describe it...). And it's not only her bohemian outfits that inspire me, but also her beautiful hair.

@evelina



Evelina Barry is another person that I think has a very inspiring (I'm sorry, but I'm probably going to use the words 'inspiring' and 'inspiration' a couple of times in this post...) style.

@amberfillerup



Amber Fillerup always has the most beautiful hairstyles! I love to look at her hairstyles and recreate them myself. But besides hair pictures, she also posts lots of cute pictures of her family (which is obviously a bonus!).

@brandymelvilleusa

Oh, if you didn't know it yet: I love Brandy Melville! Their clothes just totally suit my style. I love to look at their pictures and see what's new, but also get inspiration for how to combine my own pieces of Brandy Melville.

@subdued



Subdued's instagram account just has the most beautiful pictures of their clothes and other items! I really enjoy looking at them.


@urbanoutfitters



If you like We Heart It (then check out our account and...), you're going to love Urban Outfitters' instagram account! They don't only post beautiful pictures of their clothes and other products, but they also post other gorgeous We Heart It type of pictures.

These were my favorite instagram accounts that I think you must follow these days!

The Quality of Urban Outfitters Jewellery

Hi, 

About 5 months ago I bought a necklace in Urban Outfitters, as you may already have read in that shoplog. And I expected much of it, because Urban Outfitters is a bit more on the pricey side. This necklace cost me € 15,00. Which I know is not a lot, but I do expect a better quality for this price.

When I bought it it was a golden necklace, now, some time later, it looks like this: 

The gold is all gone and there are some rusty patches. I'm very disappointed... And this happened pretty quick too... I don't think it's worth to pay € 15,00 for a necklace to wear it just a couple of times. 

So even though Urban Outfitters have a nice jewelry range, I don't think I'm going to buy any of theirs anymore. I'd rather buy some super cheap stuff in for example H&M, because you get the same quality anyways.

Balmain X H&M Campaign

Hi,

Last year we were totally crazy about Alexander Wang's capsule collection at H&M. We love designer clothing, but we love it even more when it's affordable! H&M's next capsule collection will be designed by Balmain.

We haven't got a lot of info about it yet, but we did get to take a look at the campaign pictures yet. Judge for yourself:

The Quality of Brandy Melville Jewellery

Hi, 

You all know by now I love Brandy Melville, if you've been following us for a while. Their clothes are just made out of the best (and softest) quality! But how about their jewellery? Well that's what we'll be discussing today.

I love Brandy Melville's jewellery collection, they always have some gorgeous pieces! I can never resist to buy some kind of jewellery when I visit their shop. And it's pretty cheap too. Today I'm going to share with you how my two favourite and most worn jewellery pieces are doing.

You've probably all seen this ring before, because I wear this ring on a daily basis. I'm going to be very honest with you here: this is already my second one! The first one broke after two months and I was so sad about it that I bought a new one. This one I only had for one month now and you can see that the silver is already coming of... Luckily this is a silver ring, because with gold it would look much worse. This doesn't bother me that much, even though I'm not happy about it either. It has this pink shine, which doesn't look super bad. I'm just scared it's going to turn completly pink... And I don't think it's worth it to buy a third one.

Another thing you've probably seen before: this simple but beautiful necklace that I wear super much. This necklace I actually had for one whole year now. And at first it was gold, which you can't see anything of anymore. Now it's in this coppery colour. I actually still like it and still wear it lots. Okay, the gold was prettier, but the copper doesn't look that bad.

We can conclude that Brandy Melville's jewellery hasn't the same great quality as their clothes. But well, it isn't pricey either... I do am a bit dissapointed, but what can we do about it? Nothing. This doesn't mean I'm not going to buy any of their jewellery anymore, but I do hope I'm going to find a cheaper brand with a better quality soon.

How to Look Fashionable in your Uniform

Hi,

Since the first school day is approaching, I thought this post was appropriate. I've went to schools before where we had no choice but wear a uniform and this summer I worked in a supermarket where I also had to wear a uniform. And it's not fun, not if you're like me and like to express yourself through fashion. Wearing a uniform always makes me feel ugly and not myself. But I have some tips to still look fabulous in your uniform!

First of all: what kind of uniform do you need to wear? Is it just a shirt? With maybe some shoes aswell? Or is it a whole outfit? If you just need to wear a few pieces, you can choose the last pieces to complete your outfit and make it still look fashionable. If you, for example, just have a shirt you can go crazy with cool pants and skirts. Or in the winter you can maybe wear fabulous coats and jackets, which will make you look amazing!

It kind of sucks if you need to wear a whole outfit though, but something I always do is express myself with some outstanding and beautiful jewellery! There aren't many places with a dresscode for jewellery. So instead of buying lots of clothes you can almost never wear during the schoolyear, invest in lots of jewellery. People will see the effort you put in your look, even if you're wearing a uniform. And this is the perfect way to make yourself look a bit more unique.

Wearing a uniform doesn't meen you can't look pretty. Make sure you still look fresh and clean. Try to look your best and everyone will forget you're wearing an ugly uniform! Make up isn't allowed in all schools, but just a little bit of concealer under your eyes will make you look a lot more awake and no one will notice the little bit of make up you're wearing.

Another thing most school won't have rules about is your hair, so try out some special and cute hairstyles. You will deffinitely stand out in your uniform now! Or wear some cute hair accessoires. I think wearing a bow in your hair with a school uniform can look very cute.

If nail polish is allowed you can try out beautiful nail art. If you can't wear nail polish at your school, make sure your nails still look clean and healthy. Looking fresh and clean, like I already mentioned, is a must!

Hopefully these tips were a bit helpful for you. And remember you can make everything look great on you if you really want it to!

Lily-Rose Depp As The New Face Of Chanel

Hi,

Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of the famous Jonny Depp, is only 16 but already face of Chanel. Her mother was also a ambasatrice of the brand and earlier this year Lily-Rose took part in Chanel's Haute Couture show.
Personally I really love the campaign. Lily-Rose looks beautiful and her look is very inspiring. On the other hand many people believe that her poses in this new campaign are too provocative. Especially because she's still so young.

Zoella Beauty Tutti Fruity Collection

Hi,

As a true fan of Zoe Sugg I'm very excited to announce this news on our blog: her brand Zoella Beauty is going to launch a new collection called Tutti Fruity! In this collection you have a body mist, a fizz bar, a shower gel, a body lotion, a lip balm, a cosmetic purse and a scrub. The lip balm and scrub are new things she didn't have in the classic Zoella Beauty range. So this is all very exciting! The packaging is again gorgeous, just a little more colorfull this time. And it's supposed to smell all fresh and (yes you guessed it) like tutti fruity.

It's going to launch the 6th of July in Superdrug and on Feelunique.

Hi,

Last weeks post was about glasses made out of stone, but the glasses we're talking about this week are 3D printed. It's a collaboration between Materialise, a 3D printing company from Leuven, and Hoet Design Studio. The collection contains six esclusive designs, which couldn't be made without the new 3D printing technics. The collection will be presented at the Materialise World Conference in Brussels.

Sunglasses Made Out of Stone

Hi,

Beaver Bril, a Dutch brand of sunglasses, released a new collection with the original nerd framed glasses made out of stone! Even though I wouldn't buy one of these sunglasses because they basically aren't my style and because I don't think they would be that comfortable either (wouldn't it be very heavy to wear?), I do think they are very original and cool. These sunglasses are a bit more on the pricey side, considering the special material they're made out of, but if you are interested you should check out there site here.

Pharrell Williams for Timberland

Hi,

Pharrell's collection for Adidas is a big success and now he collaborated with Timberland as well. Instead of creating shoes in every colour possible, like he did for Adidas, he just created 2 shoes with a print on them, here they are:



These shoes were already spotted on Beyoncé and Rihanna! Pharrell is finding his way into the fashion world and I like it. His collections are all very exclusive and special. I can't wait to see what he will bring to us next.

Adidas X Pharrell Williams

Hi,

Adidas is about to launch a great new line of shoes. It's a collaboration with Pharrel Williams and it contains the original Superstar sneaker in 50 different colors.

I think it gives a great new boost to the classic sneaker. The colors are mostly really bright, which means they'll brighten up any outfit :)
The collection will be available on 27 march already. We can't wait :D

Cinderella's Glass Slippers Recreated by Iconic Designers

Hi,

This year there'll be a movie remake of the fairytail Cinderella, the story that learned us that a pair of shoes can truly change your life. ;) Some very famous shoe designers gave Cinderella's iconic glass slippers a make-over. Here are the results:

Alexandre Birman

Charlotte Olympia

Jimmy Choo

Rene Caovilla

Salvatore Ferragamo

Nicolas Kirkwood

Jerome Rousseau

Paul Andrew

Stuart Weitzman

I'm so in love with the ones from Jimmy Choo! That's exactly how I imagine Cinderella's pumps :) I like the ones from Charlotte Olympia too. They have a more modern touch and I think that's a creative way to look at it.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner for Topshop

Hi,

I have some exciting news to tell you today! Topshop is planning to do another collaboration. This time it's going to be with the sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Topshops collaborations with Beyoncé and Kate Moss were a big success and I think this one will be a success too. It's not the first collection that will release of Kendall and Kylie, they already made a collection for Madden Girl and Pacsun. But I'm very excited to see what this collection will is going to be like!

Joan Didion for Céline

Hi,

The 80-year old writer Joan Didion is the new face of Céline's latest campaign. And I love it! It doesn't always have to be a photoshopped supermodel. I think Céline did a great job here, with picking Joan Didion for there campaign. They turned her into a hipster, by dressing her very chic and fashionable.

Advertisement would be so much more fun with pictures like these! And it's not the perfect supermodels you should look up to, because when I'm old, I don't want to look fake, but I definitely want to look like this! So hopefully Céline brought some ideas for other brands. Because I would definitely like to see more advertisement like this one in the streets.

Chubby Is The New Skinny (In Japan)

Hi,

A Japanese beauty standard is being verry skinny, but now there's changing something! The magazine La Farfa is trying to encourage chubby girls to be proud of how they look. While other magazines will show you how to hide your curves, La Farfa shows how to highlight them. And this all helped, because chubby is now becomming a trend in Japan! Most people think it will stay by a trend though, but we secretly hope that it'll be a beauty standard again to be a little bit fuller.

La Farfa now has their own clothing line where they sell Japanese clothing in a bigger size. It's called Punyus and you should really take a look at it. Besides from how it's encouraging for girls who aren't that skinny, it's also inspiring to see trends from another culture. Most of the Punyus clothes look very streetstyle actually.

I think we're all insecure about our weight sometimes, but there is absolutely no reason you should! It's the most important to be healthy and we think healthy and happy people are the most beautiful people. So try to eat healthy, exercise enough, but don't overdo it to loose weight. Some people are skinny from theirselves, others gain weight more easily, but if you live healthily you'll come to a good balance.
