PRINCESS DIANA: STYLE ICON

  Even though it was before my time, Princess Diana inspired me in a way. 
As much she was known for het kindness, charity and the scandal that surrounded her marriage, 
she was also known for her wonderful sense of style that influenced a generation of women, like me. 
It's so cute to see the difference from Lady Di's early days when she was sort of shy in her clothing,
 untill she went to premieres and parties wearing Versace and Catherine Walker
As Vogue said: "We remember the style of a true fashion icon". I couldn't agree more.

             Princess Diana worked closely with Elizabeth               At the UK premiere of James Bond Film
                and Daniel Emanuel on the dress, which              Octopussy she wore a white asymmetric gown

                                with a 25-foot train.                              silver clutch bag and matching silver shoes

               At a polo match Diana wore a abstract spot            Diana shimmered in a Bruce Oldfield gown

            Princess Diana chose a white Catherine Walker           She wore a pinstripe blazer with a baseball 
              dress, with pearl and sequins for the British              cap and track pants tucked into boots when
                                  Fashion Awards                                            she took Prince Harry to school

               With Prince William on her side, she wore a              Princess Diana chose an appropriateley

                  her son Harry wearing a green buttoned            brown Chelsea boots, black jeans and a water-

MY FIRST MOODBOARD

Today I stayed in bed all day because I'm not feeling well, I think I might get the flu or something. 
But no problem, now I have time to fix everything. I started to add some feathers on my blazer 
(to be continued...) and I tried to make a moodboard on my iPad. 
Since a couple of weeks I'm really inspirated by Cruella de Ville. O okay I have to admit something, when I was a child I was already fascinated by her. I think she's an amazing style-icon! Just love it!
So here is my first moodboard; what do you think?

DIY: STUDDED BLAZER

Last year around this time I was surviving Sweden, but as you may know 
a lot of friends came over to Stockholm to visit me. 
One of them, Esmée, asked me if I had some free time to could put some studs on her blazer.
 Guess what? I did got a lot of time, so I made this for her! I made it typical Esmée :-) and she liked it! 
It's really easy to do it yourself, just order some studs and put them on your clothing! Piece of cake!
What do you think about Esmée's blazer? xoxo

BIKERBOOTS VS HIGH HEELS

I have the tendency to only wear heels, correction... HIGH HEELS. Because I'm tiny little bitch ;-) 
but everybody is telling me that I have to wear some kick-ass biker boots. 
I really like them, but not for myself. It's not really my thing! 
But what do you think? Hot or not?

GET THE LONDON LOOK

Hello world,
Yesterday I came back after a few days in London. Two of my Swedish friends, Josefin and Åsa - are living there right now, so I decided to visit them. London is never a bad idea right?
We walked through London city and act like real tourists. I was planning to shop a lot,
but I didn't quite succeed... my parents can be really proud of me.
But if I had more time, it would have been another story.
We visited the London Tower Bridge (which was an amazing experience), ofcourse Oxford Street,
went to Åsa's work at Westfield shopping center, Piccadilly Street, saw the Big Ben
and after that we went back to Oxford street. I bought a super cute dress at Topshop.
I wanted a nice jacket/blazer and fabulous shoes, but I think it wasn't meant to be.

Early yesterday morning we flew back, so we stayed awake all night and took the night buss to the airport.
I am only now recovering a bit. But just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the couple days in London!
So nice it's possible just leave everything behind for a few days.
Dear Josefin and Åsa: thank you so much!! And see you soon in Amsterdam!!

Here some pictures....

ALYSSA'S STREETSTYLE

I'm so sorry, the last couple of weeks was really hectic so I really didn't had time to make a new post. But, I'm back! Okay I'm trying to keep my promise this time, and post more often!
To keep myself busy these days, I'm going to make some streetstyle photo's, but that's hard in Tilburg ;-)
But I allready made some with a friend. I'm happy with the result, and I'm going to do this more often.
Meanwhile I've got a lot of new clothes, but I'm having trouble making new cute outfits.
What do you think of this one? Hip or horror? xoxo
