Aaah, take me back to a time, not so long ago, where I could venture outside without looking like a pile of clothes. A time like when these pictures were taken for instance! Now, we're in deep winter temperatures which make me pull out of my blanket-like clothes. If there would be something like a face beanie, I'd wear the shit out of it!
Unfortunately, freezing winter temperatures will stick with us for a while still. So for now, all there's to do is waiting for temperatures to increase again a little bit so this casual weekend look can be mine again. Even more so on weekends, I always seem to reach to comfy sneakers combined with (even more) oversized shirts and blouses. And the millions of booties I got in my dressing are crying because they feel unappreciated and unworn... Winter time got me in a rut. If it's not gonna snow anytime soon - 'cause snow is pretty and makes me happy- blanket outfits will make their entrance on the blog. I apologize in advance.
Bazaar Bizar strikes again! There have been three editions yet (first one back in 2010 already!), followed by a Deluxe edition. On the 26th of April, Bazaar Bizar will organise what will be their fourth regular edition, and they're still looking for people to join in on the fun!
Say what?! You have no idea what 'Bazaar Bizar' means? It means: vintage, handmade and second hand market, organised in Herk-de-Stad and stuffed with cosyness! So if you have what it takes (read: vintage treasures, handmade stuff, design skills,..) send an e-mail with some photos to: elinerodiers(at)gmail.com or annesophiechristiaens(at)gmail.com.
This time Bazaar Bizar will take place in cooperation with 'Hartstocht', and will be an evening market. Who doesn't want to sell anything, can also come and go crazy whilst shopping, joining workshops, enjoying some theater, performances and so on! For any more information, you can check the Facebook page of Bazaar Bizar. And to get you guys all excited, here are some pictures of the previous editions!
Fashion nights and weeks, they happen all across the globe in big cities like New York, Paris and London. Of course, Belgium couldn't stay behind and what better city to organize a night filled with fashion than the fashion capital of our tiny country: Antwerp. On the 28th of September, le moment suprême was there and we were especially interested in the Bloggers Closet Sale. I mean, what's not to like or even love: our favorite bloggers selling their clothes sounded like music in our ears.
Since we also had tickets for the farewell concert of the Heideroosjes (a Dutch punk band) and kind of forgot about them (we bought them a year ago or something), we decided we were in for a crazy combo that night. First station of our journey was the Antwerp Fashion Night and the Bloggers Closet Sale in Antwerp, next stop was Brussels for a kick ass concert. We spent several hours in trains and cars, but it was all worth it!
The Bloggers Closet Sale was a huge success for bloggers like The Styling Dutchman, Dogs and Dresses, The Fashion Folio, Shark Attack, Insomnia and many more, but of course also for us buying gals. Not only were there pretty, delicious little cupcakes from Patty Cakes and Tao drinks, we also managed to score some new assets for our wardrobes. I bought a knitted vest from Polienne and a sweater from Dogs and Dresses, love love love it! Lies bought a shirt, also from Dogs and Dresses, and a blazer from Shark Attack. After browsing through the clothing racks at the Bloggers Closet Sale, it was time to bounce back to the train station to take a train to Brussels to scream our lungs out at the Heideroosjes concert.
PS: Sorry for the lack of pictures, but we really were in a hurry and kind of overwhelmed by all the clothes that were ours to take home.
PS2: Totally fell in love with the glitter shoes from The Styling Dutchman, but unfortunately they were a tad too small for one of my feet (yes, I'm a mutant and my feet are two different sizes).
And to go out with a bang, HERE WE GO: HEIDEROOSJES!
