Anne and I thought it would be nice to share some of our favorite clothes with you now and then! So, this is the outfit that I wore to the Pietje Bell lecture of Tinkebell (only later did I realise it was very suitable, because Tinkebell is always dressed in pink!).

Me and my mom went out for a day of buying junk at a flea market at the Ijhallen in Amsterdam!

Mirjam and I love scary stuff so we love Halloween! This year we just sat on her couch, ate a lot of candy and other creepy food, played a scary board game (Atmosfear) and watched some horror movies (Nightmare on Elmstreet, The Evil Dead and The Descent). May sound a bit dull but we had a great time :)!

Just a small post with pictures of things I just bought, things I like, things I am working on, things I just finished, things will not be boring for much longer and things I see from my window. Things, things, things. (Can you guess which movie I was watching without googleing?)

I think I can speak for us both when I say that our favorite store in the Whole Wide World is Lush <3 When Anne and I became friends, she took me to Lush and got me instantly hooked on everything Lush. Just the store itself is already so pretty and smells soooo good! The people are always nice, and by not testing on animals, making a lot of their products vegan and using bags that you can throw on your pile of compost, Lush makes us genuinely happy! Also, their products are all wonderful (no really), smell amazing (seriously), are all kinds of awesome colors (pink! pink!) and have glitters. Yes, some of them really glitter. Oh Lush, we love you!

As Lushious Lushers we like to try out new stuff, and that is why we regularly go to release parties, where new products are released. This week we went to the Christmas release party in Amsterdam and oh, did we buy some amazing stuff <3 We did spend a bit too much money (as always) but: we will be the best smelling homeless people in the world!

FINALLY! A brand new camera! My last one was a total pain in the ass since it was pretty old and would not focus right anymore. Our last trip to Artis Zoo was it’s breaking point and since I can not live without a camera, I bought a new one! It takes a lot of getting used to but I LOVEloveLOVE it. Get ready for a LOT of pictures!
I also bought this bag from Jo Totes as I had seen it on The Dainty Squid and it’s amazing. I love that it’s girly, bright colored, will not kill my camera AND! is made of animal-free high quality faux leather. Can you believe it? I can not wait for it to come in!

Words & Pictures Anne

I loooove sewing! Especially dresses. I recently made my favorite one so far, this pretty flowery one with deer buttons! I bought the fabric (maybe you remember it from this post! I used it as a background haha) at the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam, I guess it was pretty old because it was really dusty. So I washed it and turned into this great fitting dress. The top gets a bit poofy when I wear it, just the way I like it! I don’t like my clothes too tight (or too boring, for that matter). I’m working on a horse dress at the moment, but will update on that one later. Anyway, this new dress is a great opportunity to show you some more of the clothes I’ve sewn (I knit a lot of stuff too but that is for another post)!

I’m a bit of a shopping addict, but I don’t like to spend any money. So, as you can imagine, flea markets are like heaven to me. I had a great day with my niece, diving through piles of junk at the flea market in Edam and we bought so much I wish I had more arms to carry them with. My niece bought tons of cat related little statues and I bought, well, junk. But that’s what I like!
