Sketchbook Magazine

I just discovered a London-based treasure I'd love to share with you, called Sketchbook Magazine. Its a quarterly magazine that is focused on upcoming talent in fashion, design and culture and filled with interesting and refreshing illustrations, editorials and articles. I was really happy to find out you can read it online, which meant another few hours not spent on my thesis today ;-)

The first of two existing issues is dedicated to fashionbloggers, which makes it even more desirable of course! I'd love to get my hands on a printed copy, which you can order here for 28$.

Check it out at www.sketchbookmagazine.com

Miroslava Duma never fails to impress. Here, she looks absolutely stunning in a ton-sur-ton, all red outfit. While most of us would probably look like a giant tomato in this - nevertheless fantastic - outfit (or wouldn't we ladies?), Miss Duma manages to look oh-so cool and understated chic!

Feeling blue

Random picture just to show my new nailpolish. Bought it at H&M yesterday - it was the only thing I allowed myself to buy when I was in the city with Kim. As it is called "U must have this", I just couldn't resist!

It's a Pleasure

Yesterday we tried to do some shopping, but both suffering from the same problem (having to reconsider every Euro spent) we didn't bring home much.

As a substitute we enjoyed some fried fish - 'kibbeling' - at the market square and a delicious ice cappucino at the Douwe Egberts store.

This is also a great opportunity to introduce ourselves on this blog, so here we are:

The book club

One of my addictions in life is collecting fashion and art books. I just love to be inspired by all the pages with beautiful images  I can rarely leave a bookshop without snatching up one. This is a very small selection of my 'inspiration bibles', they are stashed everywhere in my room!
