The red dress

There is one big reason I why I regret dying my hair.

Don't take me wrong, I love my henna colour, and got several compliments about it. (Seriously at least once a month! O.o) But a red dress will never look as good on me as on a brunette or blonde person.
Such a shame, because I believe every woman should have a red dress in her closet. It gives an instant boost of self-confidence, sexiness and it will draw attention. A few years ago I wrote about the red-rag-to-a-bull-effect, and still think that's true.
But I also understand if you're not in the mood for a red dress, you can't wear it daily. It has to feel a bit special, so wear it on precious occasions. My favourite way to wear a red dress is in summer with bare legs and some tinkling bracelets while going for a stroll on a little market or beach. But since there is another great occasion coming up: Valentine's Day, I'll show you some killer red dresses!

Marble rainbow cupcakes

Last week I went to a friend for a good old girlsnight. Ahh don't you love girlsnights/sleepovers?
We decided to make cupcakes. And because there were several decoration options to play with, we choose to make rainbow cupcakes!

Mixing the dough and adding some chocolate chips.

They turned out looking moldy. I loved it haha. Great idea for a theme party or something! Oh and if you use red pigment they will look like meatloaf, pretty gross too haha!

Tadaa, the result!

Lynn made a "Siel" for me and I made an "L" for her.
Enjoyed together with a bottle of Martini Rosato, a romantic movie and a bag of chips for later. Yum!

Marble rainbow!

And the very best thing, they tasted heavenly.

Prince Charming

I've been enhancing my creative side a little lately and started drawing. It started with a few doodles of portraits and continued with thinking about creative gift ideas. That how I came up with the idea of sending my boyfriend greeting cards for his birthday that's coming up! A little bit humor never hurts, so I choose for a cliché prince charming. In Dutch there is the proverb: "He is my prince on a white horse." (Not sure it's a proverb in English too) So I decided to draw a prince on a white horse.

I wasn't feeling like drawing a proper face or hand, shhh, nobody notices!

The result! (above)

A quick sketch to try out the colours first. At the moment I'm writing this I'm still doubting if I should choose this one to send! I kinda like the goofy shape of the horse.

The first sketch. The horse kinda failed, but it's still handy to try out the colours.

Funfact: I used prince Charming from Snow White as a model here!

And a little doodle of the boyfriend while studying. I didn't had a picture with me so I drew it out of memory. And I must say I'm quite pleased with the result, it looks a little bit like him! Or otherwise it's just wishful thinking, that's possible too..

I went for a walk and took some pictures

Last week I went for a walk in the woods nearby his home and took some pictures.

Despite it's not very fashion related, I really wanted to show them. It might be a good way for everyone to take a look at your own environment and be graceful for nature's beauty around you. :) Anyway, not trying to be sentimental and shit. Enjoy the pics!
