A new year, a new wardrobe

Happy New Year everyone! After a two (or was it three even) week hiatus my fingertips have been itching to post a new, er, post. But what to write about as this new year starts? My new year's fashion resolutions?

1. Invest in some great pieces
2. Think before buying (will this go with anything I own, or merely force me to buy matching items)
3. Define my style
4. DIY more!

This would make a great DIY-project no? (Isabel Marant Etoile courtesy of Net-a-porter.com)

Looking forward to a new fashion season I'm already contemplating what I'll be wearing in the Spring (if it decides to come at all this year) and have decided on clashing pastels, pick'n'mix denim, and the hint of grunge I just can't live without.

Étranger pop-up shop

 

From 1 until 31 December 2011, Dutch label Étranger (by the Taiwanese Lifu Hsiao) will open a temporary shop on the Prinsengracht 286A in Amsterdam. The capsule shop will sell the entire Spring/Summer 2012 collection inspired by the film ‘Twin Peaks: Fire walk with me’ , in addition to selected items from earlier collections.

Lingerie, T-shirts and an angel form the inspiration for the latest collection which comprises babydoll dresses, feminine T-shirt dresses and a series of spectacular layered dresses.

With prices ranging from €250 for a simple jersey dress to €550 for a layered version, the pieces are an investment. But definitely worth a look if you’re in the 9-straatjes neighbourhood!
