Let's dance to Joy Division

I wore this to an exhibition at MQ. It was amazingly sunny, so the phat jacket I brought was so useless. And so was my woolly cardigan. ah well. I guess I just can't seem to grasp the amazing fact that winter is over. On another note, my rooftop swimming pool finally opened! It's the place where I took these & these pictures. My friend and I had a photoshoot there yesterday...can't wait to show you the result!

Daft Punk is playing at my house

DIY cropped tee | American Apparel coat | H+M jeggings | vintage shoes | Paul frank backpack

Despite having a load of work left to tackle, I still went hiking yesterday on sunday. I barely moved during the winter, so now I guess I'm trying to make up for that. Today was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. Nearly every facet of life is confusing me and I'm also perplexed about who the hell I am (or maybe I just need more sleep?). I don't want to bore you with dear-diary emotional stuff so I'll leave it at that.

And thanks for all the music recommendations! I'm definitely going to check them all out :)

Purple smurf legs

H&M dress and tights | Levi's sneakers | RedandGreen coat

I don't know about these tights. On one hand, I love the color - its bright but not neon and makes me happy. However, on the other hand it makes me feel like a purple smurf. Not very attractive. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of The Wombats, Peaches, The Prodigy, Franz Ferdinand and Amanda Blank. But I desperately need some new songs, so recommend me some! My exams are looming closer, so I'm sorry that I can't reply to your comments and emails. I hope you're all enjoying life more than me :)

Unsaturated

Berlin FW t-shirt | H&M jeggings and cardigan | Doc Martens | DIY-bag

So I've been in this phase, where I pin one side of my hair violently to the side so it looks like it's shaved on that side. I do this because I simply don't have the guts to pick up the razor. And because I'm friggin bored of my hair. I'm thinking of a pixie cut or something a bit...different. I have no clue what though. Any ideas?

Rock and roses

Yaz shirt (thanks Hyeed!) | H&M skirt | Doc Martens

These are pictures from spring break, at Anna's place with Isabel. We took some photos before going out and ended up using her guitar as a prop (note: I cannot play guitar, which is probably obvious by the way I'm holding it haha) Anyway, the coming weeks will be a ball of stress, so I probably won't be able to update as often.


And I'm featured on Hypeed - an online style magazine featuring real people and bloggers! You can contribute pictures of your outfits according to the different themes available, and the chosen pictures will be featured in as an online "editorial". There are some really inspiring styles on that site, so go check it out now :)

p.s. the giveaway will be open until May 1st, so enter while you still can (oh dear, what a cheesy commercial i sound like haha!)

Little red riding shoes

H&M top, skirt and shoes | American Apparel jacket | marithe francois girbaud tights

This cream-colored coat was a gift from American Apparel (thanks!) and I haven't been able to stop wearing it. It's super comfy and fits with any outfit. Somehow, it reminds me of the 90s, the best decade ever: The Lion King, Titanic, Spice Girls, the invention of tons of consoles and Friends, the show...not to mention that I was born then!

Kneon with a silent K

After babbling about it in countless posts, here is solid proof that Kneon is becoming real. What started off as a dreamy and rather wistful dream during schooltime is now turning into reality thanks to a group supportive and extremely talented friends. These shots are a result of a test shoot we had during the spring break, which was super fun.

If any of you are interested in contributing to Kneon, feel free to email us at kneonmag@gmail.com. Make sure you visit our website first and read a bit about what we're about before you submit anything. We'd love to hear from you!
