Faux Fur is warm, chic, sexy and Winter's top trend
Thanks to recent weather conditions I could wear my faux fur vest and embrace my inner wild side.
Faux fur is less expensive, easy to clean and animal friendly compared to animal fur and it’s being used more and more by major fashion houses.
I love my fur vest because I think it’s perfect for Fall weather. It’s a great layering piece that will keep you cosy without suffocating you, and it’s also a nice statement item that will catch the attention of others.
Here is how I wear my light- brown fur vest. This look blends perfect with the Fall season and is effortlessly chic and warm.

Frida Kahlo Inspired Look for Halloween
If you think of style icons from the
past, perhaps the first women that come to mind are Marilyn Monroe,
Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. These women are all brilliant but we
can’t forget ‘out of the box’ style icons like Frida Kahlo.
Frida Kahlo suffered lifelong health problems, many caused by a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people, and this isolation influenced her works, many of which are self-portraits of one sort or another. Kahlo suggested, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best." In other words she liked to take amazing and magic selfies.
As an artist I find her hypnotic, as a woman I find her a hero and a style icon, either way a beautiful inspiration. She loved life, she was fearless and she lived with passion.
I know that some of you will ask why would someone love to have a furry uni-brow and a mustache, well this facial hairs are a symbol of acceptance and being true to yourself and live a life without lurking beneath the filters of social media. I think this is the answer and I had to mention this because I saw people making fun of this matter without understanding the symbolism behind it.
I tried my very best to implement all Frida Kahlo's elements in my look, the way she was wearing her hear, the accessories, the colors she loved and even the facial hair.
I wanted to look like her and I hope I have not done a bad job at it.

Tips for the perfect flawless fake tan!
Below you will find all the tips and tricks necessary for the perfect self-tan application.
1. The most important step in getting the perfect fake tan is exfoliation ! You don't want to apply fake tan on dead skin, that will be a disaster for sure. Always prepare your skin and start with exfoliation in the shower, be sure you removed all the dead skin cells that get in the way of your even tan application. Pay extra attention to really dry spots like your elbows and knees.
2.Don't apply fake tan products on fresh shaved/waxed legs, as your skin will become sensitized and it can reactivate to the tanning formulation, also don't shave/wax your legs after you applied your tan.

Zara Raspberry Summer Dress
I love to wear dresses as much as the Dutch weather allows me. I love to be, feel feminine and elegant and I really don't like something else in the summertime so I am using the warm weather to break out my brights!
Last week I was wearing a raspberry mid-length dress that made me look like a sweet popsicle but so comfortably fun and ideal for a day out with friends.
This type of dress makes me feel totally cute and is perfect to bright up a day and also it can make me stand out in a crowd of people.

To perfect color contrast my bright dress I chose a waist -length cropped cardigan in petrol blue.
Bold, Blue Cat Eye Makeup Look
Bored with the black traditional cat eye ? Why not try
something else?
How about something blue, more like denim blue, if you don't dare to go with turquoise or a bright orange. Maybe a neon color would be to much, but a denim blue might just look perfect for a summer and playful cat eye look . Creative, dramatic, bold and bright eye looks and almost
angry winged were seen at Givenchy and Max Mara.

For the past 2 years, I did used a lot more dermato-cosmetics and Vichy was always in my first options, as for me it really works out better than La Roche Posay or others.

Taste of Amsterdam 2015
Taste of Amsterdam is an annual food festival that takes place not far from the center of Amsterdam, in Amstelpark, at the beginning of June (4th until June 7th).
This food festival is a place where the best Dutch and international chefs cook up delicious things, a place where the best restaurants in Amsterdam present their signature dish and a food heaven !
Sunday was the last day and even if I just came from a holiday I could not miss the opportunity of having extra fun, a chill out moment on sounds of jazz and soul with great drinks and some tasty food. Hm, I just realized I forgot to try the mojito's.

L'Oreal Manicure Diamond Force Strengthening Serum
Brittle nails are caused by various factors such as: extreme
weather conditions, humidity, over-exposure to the sun, nail polishes and nail
polish removers, excess use of water, harsh detergents and chemicals. Besides
these external factors, dry, peeling nails can appear due to several illnesses,
aging, vitamin deficiency or insufficient water intake.
Using nail strengtheners on a daily basis is another great
method to cure brittle nails. Nail strengtheners should be applied in the same
way as nail polishes, covering your nails with a thin coat of product. In order
to ideally nourish your fingernails, opt for a nail strengthener, which
contains vitamin B,Ca or protein.
Lancôme Miracle Cushion Foundation Review
Lancôme, the Parisian beauty giant, is the very first one to launch on the European market , the Miracle Cushion, beauty secret of Koreans.
I see Miracle Cushion as a new beauty innovation, ready to make you forget about every BB or CC cream or any other 5 in 1 magical cream, of Korean influence.
Lancôme Miracle Cushion Cream comes encapsulated in a small case, has a light airy texture and a special non-absorbing sponge that provides an ideal application. This product is more a fusion of a liquid with a compact product. It has the freshness of a liquid foundation and the facility of a compact, is easy to carry around in your bag and to do small touch ups during day.
Lancôme Miracle Cushion Cream has UV filters (SPF 23), moisturizing properties and special pigments to even and unify your skin tone.

10 foods for beautiful healthy skin
What you eat can affect your hormone balance, cause acne, and create inflammation. I think that what you eat can be as important as the serums and creams you apply on your skin, or maybe even more important. To me this was proven so many times, and for this reason I decided to invest not only in my skincare but also in food.
Here are my top 10 favorite foods for a beautiful healthy skin, some of it will help fight inflammation and acne, while others will give a super gorgeous natural skin glow.
1.Spinach - nutrient rich food you should definitely include into your eating plan. Vitamin E, iron, chlorophyll, magnesium, fibers, vitamin A, vitamin C, all great for your skin. Spinach is packed with antioxidants that help prevent different types of skin problems.
2.Avocado - a rather unique type of fruit. Rich in omega-9 fat, oleic acid is also involved in regenerating damaged skin cells and reducing facial redness and irritation. Avocados are a great source of antioxidant carotenoids like alpha carotene, beta carotene, beta cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein. These antioxidants provide significant protection for your skin from the environmental damage that leads to fine lines, wrinkles and other visible signs of aging.
Vichy Ideal Body Line-Milk Serum and Balm Review
Everyone desire a gorgeous skin and we all know that skin can be transformed and nowadays is easier to achieve ideal skin with less imperfection or even better, without imperfection. Because of the cosmetic and dermatological innovation we can have ideal good looking healthy skin, even us the ones with sensitive skin.Vichy has something new and amazing for us ! Vichy comes with no less than 4 different textures : a body balm, a serum milk, a dry oil and a dry gold oil.
Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream Review
Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream contains light-diffusing powders that provide an instant glow to skin all around the eyes, and an enhanced radiance overall.
I am 33 years old and I have been having more and more trouble with those silly laugh lines, and my under eye area seems to be very dry, so, I decided to try this product. The first time I bought my first jar of Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream was almost 4 years ago and since then I still buy it every 6 months. Well, I have tried a few different eye creams expensive and non expensive eye creams but somehow I keep going back to the Olay. As far as drug store eye creams go, this is one of my favorites. It's not a miracle worker, but it does provide some visible improvement.
