FASHIONFILLERS

I got a subscription to Grazia (Dutch fashion magazine). It was just €50 for 50 weekly issues. I always recieve the monthly magazines like ELLE and Glamour around the same date, check them out and then I have nothing left for the rest of the month, now I have something for every week.

For Americans I think this sounds still much, €50 ($75) for a year’s subscription, but for us it isn’t. I think it’s so unfair: You Americans can get a year subscription to Vogue for only $10! We pay over €100 (about $150) for a Vogue subscription, mostly cause it needs to be imported (but still overpriced). When we buy just one Vogue in a bookstore, it already costs like $10, and you guys get 12 issues for that price!

Though, I am getting this Friis&Company set (bag and clutch), worth €90, for free, but I would rather have a Vogue subscripbtion WITHOUT gift for €50.

Yesterday I found some inspiration for today’s outfit. While searching for fab streetstyle pictures, I often saw white tights, which reminded me of mine. I thought it would be nice to team up with a red dress, but let’s say I don’t have one. I should feel ashame right? About 1,5 year ago the color red became like the ‘it-color’ here, so I was quite bored of everyone around me wearing red which made me not want anything in that color. Now – a special thanks to Miu Miu – I love red again.

So my search (inside of my closet) continued and I finally found something red; my grandpa’s plaid oversized shirt. I teamed it up with my grandma’s oversized cardigan and a waistbelt so I wouldn’t completely look like a homeless chick (both things are REALLY oversized). I know the plaid shirt isn’t totally long enough, but I wasn’t it’s maker right, so can’t do anything about it.

Other students thought my outfit was quite ‘interesting’ again, oh well, they always do. I don’t care, cause I felt great in these clothes! Let’s say freedom y’all! Haha.

Something so sweet happened today. At school, this little girl came to me and told me – a bit silently, but enthousiastic though – she found my website trough Girlscene.nl (you know, from the contest I won) and really liked it. It seemed like she finally ‘dared’ to say this to me or something, cause of the way she acted and cause I’m like a complete stranger to her (and even older too). This is just something small but it really made my day!

I got a grade back by the way: A 5.5 for maths, quite good actually cause I expected a 4 or maybe a 5. And then, a few hours later I needed to catch up on another maths test, but it didn’t went that good… So I’m hoping for a 3! On our Dutch grade-scale of 0 to 10, that’s not quite much really. I didn’t knew anything, exept question 1 and 2, for 2 points of the 30 points in total. Hurray for me…

Even if you don’t like politics or stuff like that, you should check out this video. And try not to laugh. Bill Clinton during an appearance at an MLK remembrance in an Atlanta church on Monday. The preacher was preaching and the former president was snoozing.

Jessica Stam wore this dress by Doucette Duvall to the unveiling of of Repetto’s 60th Anniversary Exhibition in New York at Max Lang with Moët & Chandon on January 8th. I don’t think I would ever like this dress when just seeing the dress without a body, but I think it looks fab on Jessica.
