INSPIRATION: Charlotte Free

 
I'm not one to be prone to a lot of girl crushes, but lately I must admit it has happened. With the announcement of her as the new face of Maybelline in 2012, Charlotte Free became one of my top inspirational people all over the globe. I am definitely in oohs and aahs about this one particular girl. She has an exquisite style, a je m'en fous character, wears band shirts, has pink ombre hair (or other rainbow colours) and just seems a tad bit crazy. That's how I like my girls! Or maybe I'm just mainly deceived by the pink hair.

 

Charlotte Free was born in 1993 (god, that sounds young and makes me, being born in the 80's, feel awfully old) and became discovered as a model in 2010 while she was playing video games in an arcade. Which makes her even cooler in my opinion, even though it might be just a story circling around on the Internet. Since then she got featured as the face of Maybelline and did campaign and modeling for a few of my personal favorites such as River Island, H&M, Forever 21, Topshop but also Benetton and Jeremy Scott. 

 


She calls herself moonchild, princess from another world or just the plain incarnation of princess Zelda (insert the tad bit crazy here), which only makes me love her more. To end my serenade, the personal motto of this pretty princess: "I'll do whatever I want as long as I hurt no one doing it." BOOYA. 

PS: I'm going to have to be needing a 'I 'm really a mermaid' shirt. Period.

What We Wear Wednesday: Surf's up!

Another Wednesday, another WWWW? Yes, but it's going down slightly different today. I'm not just going to show you one outfit, but more like a gazillion outfits that I wore on my holiday so you'll get the instant surfers flow vibrating. So chillax dude and put a wetsuit on, come on, come on! 


The past few weeks I've been road trippin' and visiting surf spots in Spain and France. We first went to San Sebastian, quite a big city in Spain. It's actually really weird, because one moment you're out shopping in the big city streets and the next moment you're on the beach trying to squeeze yourself in a wetsuit. The city really gives you a mixture of both: a great place to visit if you want to do some surfing, but do not want too stray to far in the middle of nowhere. 
 
 
 
 
Our next stop was Pamplona which we visited very brief. It was more a in the heat of the moment kind of thing, because we heard that at that very moment we were travelling there, it was San Fermín in Pamplona. That's a festival in the very small streets of Pamplona with as a main event the running of the bulls. People run along with these bulls in those very, tiny streets of Pamplona and I presume they get a major kick out of it (I would more likely shit my pants or something). We didn't actually see the running of the bulls, but did get a good taste of the general atmosphere. Although the taste wasn't always that good, I have to say the city smelled really badly (and I'm a girl who loves to go to festivals, and we all know that doesn't smell like roses after four days). But it was great to see how everybody and I mean literally everybody wore a traditional white outfit with a red scarf. I jumped on that train and bought me such a red scarf, just because sometimes a girl  just wants to fit in. Ok, only when it's about cool traditions and I really wanted that scarf, so there you have it.
 
 
 
 
Afterwards, we spend a few days at our final stop: Mimizan in France. A really lovely town and a more than welcome contrast with the ever crowding cities of San Sebastian and Pamplona. Fewer tourists, beach and sea for as far as the eyes can reach, more space to surf and small alleys which are the perfect spot to longboard (or at least an attempt to). Right and as you may see, I do a silly thing with my hand when I'm grooving (haha) on my longboard. I call it rabbit style longboarding, bam.
 
 
 
 
But of course, I still have to show you some of my outfits. Road tripping, surfing and staying at campings stands for me for comfortably, breezy clothes: denim shorts, bikinis, band shirts, sun glasses, hats, oversized sweaters, leggings, Vans, a wetsuit, friendship bracelets (although mine are now probably somewhere lost in the deep, vast ocean), my red hey-let's-do-the-whole-San Fermín-thing, flowers ... I'll just leave you with the pictures, because I've been rambling on for WAY to long now!
