Every minute not spend on making Fashion Blogger Top 10s is spend on browsing for Tutorials, searching for the perfect Cat Eyes, 60s Hair and Home Decor finishing touches!

OUTFIT: Lace and Bows

The best H&M item I have in my wardrobe is this Bow top! I think everyone should have at least 1 Bow item in their wardrobe! and.. 

Bows don't have to be overly romantic, yesterday I saw this green velvet bow-tie at the Zara Mens! How cool would that be with a button up shirt for Woman? I think I will go back to the Zara today and hopefully the bow-tie will be still there!

Wearing: H&M Bow top, skirt and cardigan, TopShop Umbrella, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, Miu Miu boots

feel good Sunday's

I'm wearing; TopShop hair bow, H&M sheer blouse, ShopAkira lace shorts, Wolford over the knee socks, Jeffrey Campbell foxy wood's in multi glitter.

It became a habit to visit feel-good blogs on Sunday's and one of those blogs is http://wishwishwish.net/

I think I spent every Sunday at least a hour browsing quietly through Carries blog, enjoying a cup of coffee while dreaming away by her beautiful photos! 

Today I came across her post about photoshop actions and editing, in this post she added zip files for us to download with photoshop actions for vintage photo effects (very similar to my photos) and 'Bokeh' images to use as overlay layers to create glittery, flared effects. 

So that just made my Sunday a whole lot more fun! I downloaded her "Bokeh" images and started playing with them with these photos being the result!

See wishwishwish.net for full post and explanation!

revelations

Asos modern armour cuff, Jeffrey Campbell Mariel Wedges c/o solestruck, h&m divided exclusive leather dress.

Can you believe the leather bow dress is from h&m? I couldn't!!

It's an item from the (old) 2008 divided exclusive line.

It's funny how some season's h&m is really good while sometimes you can really speak of a bad year. In 2008 the problem with this dress was the empire waist which looked kind of out of balance with the current trends! So I just stocked the dress for a future season to come. 

When shopping I often think about what the item will do in a few years. A certain timelessness makes clothing so much more interesting to me.

Leather Dress

Leather with draped bow detail on the back.

and, guess who made this dress? 
seriously, I would not have figured it out in a thousand years if I wouldn't have bought the dress myself...

I will tell you in the my next post :)
