Summer style

Looking at the current season this blog title sounds weird, but although I love the summer season, this is not what I am referring to.

Lately I am watching the DVD-box of The O.C. again. My all-time favorite character then of course is *drum ruffle* Summer Roberts!
After watching an episode this morning I decided to write my blog about the girl behind this great character, Rachel Bilson.
She always looks great, is funny, has cute dogs and has even dated Adam Brody (Seth in The O.C.) for a couple of years. Too bad they broke up if you ask me.

After playing the role of Summer for four entire seasons, she also played in Jumper, The Last Kiss and New York I love you.

So my inspiration for the fashion/beauty blog of today: Rachel Bilson.
Just because.


Boots: Sacha
Jeans: H&M
Shirt: H&M
Cardigan: Zara
Bag: Zara
Beanie: Zara

Hair: Just loose and natural, but you could straighten it if you want.
Make-up: Use black kohl around the eyes and black mascara, maybe some concealer if needed but the look mostly is natural with emphasize on the eyes.

A great 'Summer' look for this winter.

Start me up!

We're half way there, whoa livin' on a prayer.

The combination the Glee girls made out of The Rolling Stones' start me up and Bon Jovi's living on a prayer is probably my favorite song at the moment but I have to make a confession. When I saw a Glee episode for the first time, I was horrified!

Don’t get me wrong, I totally love the series now but at first I took the whole storyline a bit to serious and didn’t know what to think.
Luckely now I realized the story is not supposed to be so serious and the songs are so much fun. I'm a Gleek now!

After seeing a few episodes I think it’s only fair to say that Britney has much more potential than she seems to have with her goofy character. She’s actually a very good singer and (you’ll know it too after watching the clip) a great performer too.
I don’t really have favorites, I especially like the diversity of the group.

Start me up ft. Living on a prayer by the Glee girls


A few other awesome songs are the time warp, the entire Britney episode, billionaire, telephone, forget you, can't touch this, the empire state of mind, bad romance and well actually almost every other song.

So for everyone that’s not watching Glee I suggest you are going to in the future, you have a lot of cool songs to catch up on.

Mudblood with style

Upcoming Wednesday is a day that many people have been waiting for, ‘Harry Potter and The Deadly Hollows’ part 1 will be released in Dutch cinemas.
So while thinking about this blog and the movie, I found my new fashion subject: Emma Watson.

The twenty year old actress was born in France, moved back to England at the age of five and that’s where she discovered her talent for acting.
To me, Hermoine is the favorite character of the Harry Potter movies but when talking about style and fashion, I think Emma herself has more of an eye for it.

So today: the Emma Watson copycat



Gemstone pendant: Aileen Invitations online store
Peace sign necklace: Ebay
I love NY shirt: NY Shirt online store
Blazer: Zara
Black skinny jeans: H&M
Boots: Minnetonka

Keep your make-up and hair natural. Use some concealer if needed with light pink blush, black mascara and a soft black kohl line on the upper eyelid.
The hairdo is a casual loose, low bun with possibly side bangs. Don’t force this, curls or straight hair will all do.

I know that you're a glamour puss

But in this case, KT Tunstall is not the 'you'.
If there's anything she's not, it's a girl craving attention of the paparazzi.
I think she's amazing: great voice, good style but never over the top.
She's a great artist but not one that's in fashion or gossip magazines. For the gossip magazines: good but I think she is definitley worth being in cool fashion magazines because she simply rocks. At least she's an example to me.



Her new album Tiger Suit just came out and of course, I'm in love!

My favorites:
Uummannaq song
Glamous puss
Fade like a shadow
Come on, get in
(to be honest, I just can't choose)

The album has a different feel to it than 'Eye to the telescope' and 'Drastic Fantasic'. It's more rythmic, maybe even pop compared to the rock'ish 'Drastic Fantastic' but still with her familiar edge. Even every song on itself has a different feel, with KT it's never dull.
She surprises me again and again and it's plain simple: She is so talented!

You can buy and listen to bits of 'Tiger Suit' on bol.com and amazon.com which I highly recommend. So I hope you'll all do.

But for now, here's the official music video for 'Fade like a shadow'. Enjoy!

Wardrobe theft

If there's any wardrobe I'd like to steal, it's Audrina Padtrige's.
I think her style is simple but stylish with an edge, just what I like.

Often seen:
Skinny jeans
Fedora's
Leather jackets
Boots
Sunglasses
Black and white

Copycat


Straighten and braid your hair and use enough black mascara and eyeliner.

I'll be shopping for this look asap.

Ch-ch-cherry bomb!

For all of you who are curious about how Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning look on screen together as friends instead of enemies, I give you ‘The Runaways’.



This is the story of guitarist and singer Joan Jett who had the dream of forming an all-girl rock band.
With some help of famous manager Kim Fowley the band becomes reality and this is where we meet Cherie Currie. Most of us know the reputation of these two ladies, so we can imagine how the story ends, but what happens in the meantime?
The movie is distributed in the United States and was supposed to be in theaters in The Netherlands soon also, but due to several reasons this plan, regretfully, is postponed. But no worries, the movie is already to be seen on DVD, Blue Ray and online.
To all that like the music, the actresses or the true story of Joan and Cherie, you should definitely see it!

Hope you like it!

Urban Outfitters

Best. store. ever.

I have this little addiction to Urban Outfitters, especially for the jewelry and things to decorate your home with. Too bad I don't have my own home yet but when I do I promise you, I'll be online shopping at http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/ and you should too.

Here some things I love, owl and bird related things are so cool.
