My birthday was actually yesterday (April 29th), but I was late home from work and not really able to post anymore. This post, including pictures, is about yesterday.

I went to Eindhoven again, for ilovevintage.nl, and needed to do styling AND model at the same time, as all the models are on holiday right now. My boss already told me I needed to do so last Monday through the telephone, but I didn’t expect to model yesterday already, so it was a bit of a surprise, haha. As I always need to photograph at home all by myself (outfit-shots) it was quite weird to actually being photographed by someone else.

I my opinion it didn’t went tótally great, but I guess OK, though I really hate the fact my hair looked COMPLETELY yellow in the shots and even dirty, though it looks ‘normal’ on the shots I took myself (the outfit-shots in this post). I just washed it the same morning, and at the pictures of the photoshoot it looks like I didn’t wash my hair in 2 weeks.

After the shoot I needed to add new vintage clothing to the webshop for the first time and we were done by 19:30 (7:30PM). The train was delayed, so I got myself some fries as I also hadn’t eaten for a while and catched my train by 20:15 (08:15PM), in Venlo I took the bus by 21:20 (09:20PM) and I was finally home at 21:45 (09:45PM). It indeed takes me some time to travel home, but luckily I don’t mind travelling.

I already called my boyfriend if he still wanted to come, and he did, so we were ‘home’ at the same time. As I’m celebrating my birthday next Friday I didn’t expect him to already bring me a present but he did. He knew I needed a new perfume, and he knew I really liked The One, by Dolce&Gabbana, though it’s not really the cheapest perfume. Still, he bought it for me. Lucky girl.

I celebrated getting this delicious gift by making myself a delicious cocktail. A mix of cassis syrup, Martini, red wodka and energy drink.

There weren’t really that many people in the store yesterday, though we expected a lot. It was a Sunday, plus the weather was just awesome, most people have their holidays, and still the shop wasn’t that full of Germans (90% of the people who come are German, though the shop’s in The Netherlands). Some ‘more powerfull’ colleages were a bit stressing out and telling us (me and the other weekend-employees) to get away from each other, don’t chat and stuff, though they were also chatting themselves. I still chatted though, I’m not going to ruin my day by not speaking a word.

Yeah, I don’t like mirror-shots either, but I needed to take one because I can’t really get some other nice pictures at my boyfriend’s. I thought I didn’t take a shot including the jacket, bag and shades yet, but the above one is with bag though. Anyway, my Wayfarers look like any other normal shades in the picture below, too bad.

In the evening me and my boyfriend went to Meet the Spartans, you know, that parody on the movie 300. As expected it was just a really corny and dull movie, including celeb look-a-likes like Paris Hilton (with a huge hump on her back), Britney Spears (shaving her head) and Ugly Betty (the ‘beautiful’ Oracle). The movie itself wasn’t that bad, but the fact it was that short (about 60 minutes) wasn’t really it best’s feature.

After having killed my earlier most beautiful vintage earrings, my cat now ruined my newest most beautiful vintage clips. OK, one of them, but I can’t really do anything with the other one right now.

It wasn’t really my cat who actually killed them, but he’s the one who always takes my stuff from tables and other ‘higher spaces’ in the room. After he finds the stuff he smashes them on the floor and gives them to the dogs, who finally destroy them.

Adore the floatyness of the fabrics they used for this season.

Collages made by me.

Yes, it’s true, since about two weeks I got myself a new job, the owner of ilovevintage.nl contacted me about it, through my blog. We had lunch in Eindhoven at Bagle&Juice (delicious) at Friday the 12th in Eindhoven and after that we went to the office and I could immediately style a photoshoot. Faranak, the owner, absolutely is the most adorable girl I’ve ever seen, I should have actually taken a picture of her and have posted it here.

The shots I used for this post are all styled by me (just some examples).

Last Friday, I styled another vintage shoot, which was again really great to do. In total, I’m doing these things:

• Styling (Pick out a vintage item that needs to be sold and make it a complete outfit/look, on a model)
• Photography (Still need to be taught how to, but I’ll be doing this in a while)
• Customizing vintage (Vintage which isn’t really nice to be sold yet, which I make more unique and attractive)
• Designing clothes (Personally design and sew dresses, skirts etc.)

Styling is great of course, but the thing I think is the greatest is the fact that my designs are actually going to be sold in the shop! I’ll of course tell you when they’re available.

I still have a job in Designer Outlet Roermond, but when Faranak comes back (she’s on holiday right now), and everything works out OK at ilovevintage, I’ll quit at the outlet center. I will miss my colleages though, but my new fashion job is just definately better. Though, having thousands (literally!) of vintage shoes, purses, belts and pieces of clothing around you isn’t really the best for your wallet, haha.

This is what I wore the day of our appointment by the way:

Dress, scarf: Vintage
Jacket, skirt: H&M
Bag: Friis&Company
Shoes: Unisa
Tights: Hema

At least to me. I would even want to marry just because I could wear that vintage dress! It’s gorgeous. Click here for the lucky owner.

Quite a while ago I re-started posting my NYC pictures, and forgot about it. I will continue again, so here are the next three shots I personally took.

From the boat, to Liberty Island.

Back to the skycrapers again.
