Documentary – In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye

In Vogue documentary front

What does a fashion editor do exactly?? Hmm..when you ask that question to an actual editor, the answer is not quite as simple as you would think. Last week, I found a video about the world’s most famous fashion magazine, also known as the fashion Bible, Vogue, in which we can take a look at this fashion magazine through the editor’s eye. A very fascinating film if you are into fashion magazines and are (or thinking about becoming) an editor yourself. Have a look at the monthly art piece of Anna Wintour. Enjoy!

A Song for Mama on Mother’s Day

Something I thank God for everyday is the fact that I am Lucky to still have my mother with me.

Dressed for a Spring Wedding in Amsterdam

Spring Wedding Intro

Sunshine, singing birds, fresh young leaves and flowers. It can mean only one thing: Spring time! Even though it is officially spring for a month now, I for one am still waiting for the real warm spring days to arrive. Although, I may not complain, because the first true spring day already made her entrance on April 10, here in the Netherlands. This day was proclaimed “Skirt Day”, which basically means that it is the first day of spring when suddenly a lot of ladies are wearing a skirt with bare legs underneath. But Skirt Day wasn’t the only thing happening, as I had a Spring Wedding to attend on that same Sunny Friday of April. Continue reading “Dressed for a Spring Wedding in Amsterdam”
