www.monki.com/zoe

soo.. go to your nearest monki store and listen to the nice music (lots of my favorite guilty pleasures) and don't forget to shop as well!
i work at monki amsterdam myself so i took this opportunity to promote the store a little more.
oh and, there's a new 'mix cd' coming up in a couple of days!

last week i visited the land atelier in amsterdam. i did like the clothing at first but didn't know that much about the brand at al. but after hearing the philosophy behind the brand i got really excited, and totally felt for the whole concept. i'm really bad at explaining things (like this) in a short and clear way and that's why i'm going to quote sabrina from afterdrk. because i really want to you to know what land is about and how beautiful the concept is;

" land consists of a strong, archetypal core collection of 11 pieces. each and every season a max of 11 pieces constructed from the same pattern of the core collection, but executed differently in another fabric or color, are added.

every season -twice a year- the label expands their ever growing collection, which means the items are not bound to seasons and will be available to order throughout the years.

trends are not to be followed at land and it is more about technical details. a shirt is a shirt, in its simplest form, but always with a small twist."

amazing.

last week i got a very inspiring parcel from avelon, but i didn't have much time to update my blog during the past week. anyway, i still wanted to upload a post about the avelon! first of all i really like the brand a, classy and cool clothes! i felt honored when they asked me whether they could send me a package with a s/s 12 lookbook and some more things. when it arrived a couple of days later i couldn't be more curious, and in a hurry to open the envelope.  but the first thing i noticed was the stitching in the envelope, and for a short minute i couldn't be bothered about the content of the parcel. i love details like this, and i love that people are actually thinking about these things.

the collection it self is exactly what i expected to be; classy, casual, effortless (a couple of words i can  relate to)  nice fabrics and... over all very nicely done. thumbs up!

(for all the dutchies who like avelon, and what to go to the sample sale next week; click here.)

dyed my hair pastel pink! before the pink my hair was grey-ish. i still want to have the grey hair but i need to find a better dye. therefore i decided that until i'll find the perfect grey hair dye, i will experiment a bit. i quite like the pastel pink, i might stick to it for a a little time before i try out another color.

a couple of days ago i saw a little preview of the won hundred ss12 collection. i really like the color scheme of the collection! anyhow, i wanted to share this waistcoat with you. (i'm not a big fan of pink but that might change since i really like this waistcoat) it's feminine, but it would perfectly work in a boyish outfit. which i love. it's made out of silk and treated with salt. i never heard of the salt treatment before, and it made me curious. i think my next diy will contain some silk and salt!
