She walks like a tiger and feeds on the looks.
She dresses like a lioness who know what she wants.
When she talks she sounds like nightingale.
Her hair shines like the sun on clear blue water.
Her eye's like the sky without the clouds.

What to do on a holiday

As we take trips Through the country in the summer you will get bored at some time. So we decide to take some books with us. For reading, relaxation. But what if you don't want to read story's anymore?

The thing I do and the thing I HAVE to have with me when I go on a trip, are books about fashion. Basically it's kind of learning like you do in school. But this makes me feel like I learn more and more about a subject I love!

Because of the reading I'm always focused on the clothes, fabrics and jewelry. And a positive thing is, you learn a lot vaster when you do it on you own in a place where there is stress.

Trying to be perfect in Italy

So right now I'm in Italy for a few weeks, to relax and chill. But as I walked around the campsite, I was wondering what I looked like. The weather is hot and right now my face must be red and my make-up must be dripping down my face. It's so hot here. In stead of walking straight ahead I turned left and walked to the toilets. Yes we are staying in a tent, what means we don't have or own toilets or showers. Just a quick look in the mirror. 'Oh god, it's even worse than I thought!' Sweat on my forehead, my hair ( what was straight) was wet from sweat and started to get curly. Oh and my make-up decided to go everywhere around my eyes so I looked like a panda. Freaking summer. Don't get me wrong I love the summer in Italy but it makes me look like I run a marathon.

The thing is I can never look 'fashionable' when I'm in Italy. I have nice clothes but it's always to warm to wear them so I always and up in an easy dress. And I know I don't have to look good or wear make-up beaches no one knows me here, but it's not in my nature. I just have to dress well and put on make-up, besides when I don't wear make-up I look like a junky who just took a lot of drugs. And for the record I don't do drugs.

I guess we just don't have to worry this much about looking good. But it's just the looks you get when your not wearing anything fashionable.

New In

I'm free from school and all I do is shopping, everyday.  I don't work but I keep spending all my money. It just feels so good to buy new things. I feel like I have more possibility's when I buy new clothes. To make new outfits out of them.

So today I bought a black dress, heels, a clutch and a scarf all at the H&M.

 

Asos sells Primark online

Most of us girls are in love with Primark. It's cheap and the clothes are really nice, but they don't sell their clothing online. Which is really disappointing, because here in Holland I have to travel a few hours before I can shop at the Primark.

But now Asos is selling a few clothing of the Primark, for the same price as Primark uses! finally it's online. They first sell it in the U.K but maybe if all goes well , we also get in in the Netherlands !

Here a few looks from the Primark you can buy on Asos.com .

Spending money

Spending money is the most fun thing to do. Well except the 'spending' part and you realize you're broke. But on the positive side , it means you had a really good shopping day and now possess some really fashionable new clothing. Which can make you look really sexy, girly or whichever look you were going for.

I'm a professional money spender. I even spend money while I'm sleeping and no , I don't have a job... Awkward. Tomorrow I will go looking for a new job. I really wanna make money, and spend more and more of it.

But that's not what I wanted to talk about, I wanted to tell you I went shopping and spend money at the primark. I have to say , I didn't buy that much so I'm kind of proud of myself. I now have a blazer, a blouse,  three necklaces, a bracelet, sandals and a round sunglasses. They make me very happy and I wanted to share them with you.

The story of a creative weekend

We all have that one weekend (or maybe more) where we don't do anything and just spend the day in bed watching tv. Wearing your pajamas, your hair in a tail and no make-up. You know you look ridiculous but it doesn't matter. No one has to see you. This is how my weekends go. Not every one of them but some. I'm really lazy. But this weekend I started to do some stuff.

I started drawing again. It's been a long time since I touched a pencil. But it takes a few drawings to get back to wear you left it. First I made a few little and easy drawings like Disney figures. Than I tried to draw some faces. And than I started to draw a face and tried to make it as real a I could.
When you start drawing you will become real calm and focused on your work. That's why I love to draw.

Well that's enough about me and drawing, I will show you what I made.

DIY LA Sisters Cross shirt

The LA Sisters are really hot now and so I thought it would be fun to share the DIY with you. You can make it for less than ten euro's ! Use your creativity! Instead of two black crosses you can use one black and one with colors !

DIY Mix and Match Blouse

So I think you already saw this kind of blouse on the catwalk or in some stores, but I thought it was fun to show you how you can do it yourself with some 'boring' clothes . Of course you also can do this with a t-shirt or sweater ! So many possibilities , it's awesome.

The fashion you must wear!

Last time I showed you the 10 things you must have , now I found 6 new trends you must have. This time it's about colors, patterns, prints and shapes. You can mix and match these trends to make it look really fashionable. Well okay I wouldn't mix and match all these trends in one outfit. Than it's like : ' I don't know which one I like most so I wear them all in once.'  Just don't.

Well I can't wait till I finally have some money to spend it all in once on all these trends.

1. The Exotic colors and shapes. 
2. The Scarf invasion 
3. The Tame wild
4. The round shape glasses
5. Go Coral Red

Paris is to love

Have you ever been to Paris? The city of fashion? With Chanel stores and clothes and make-up , bags, shoes. It's breath taking. But you know what's funny, when I was there I didn't see that many woman with 'awesome' clothes. I thinks they're we're hiding or something. And the stores there far apart from each other. Next time I will take a private driver with me or something because if I have to walk it again I'm gonna die.
On the other hand if you walk you see much much more of the city and the city that's what makes it Paris. The old classic buildings, it's like they show emotions. They make you feel like you're in love. What you can find in Paris is a lot of different designs and than I'm not talking about the fashion. It's the art, the buildings, the way Paris was build and much more. Paris is a lot a lot of everything.
But what Paris doesn't have is good food. haha no but seriously the food is bad, except when you want to life on muffins, cupcakes and macrons. Oh of course you can go to McDonald's.
In the evening when it's dark the pace to be is the Eifeltower. It's gorgeous. The lights and the couples in love it's just beautiful. There will come a time that I have a boyfriend, and when that time comes I will kidnap him to Paris and we will live happily ever after. 

This is me

Hello everybody welcome to the waking of fashion,

My name is Carmen and this is my blog.  I'm kind of an ordinary girl. Kind of? Yes let me explain that. I life in a small town in Holland very boring. But it's my mind who makes me kind of 'weird'. You can compare it to an own world in my head with rainbows and unicorns. So sometimes I will write some things about whats in my head. At this point my head is empty so nothing much is coming out right now.
Anyway I am in love with fashion, make-up, beauty tips and clothes and that's why I made this blog, so I can share everything about it. And of course you can find my own made clothes.

Clothes make the woman

We girls work for fashion. Fashion is a big happening all around the world. We dress to impress , we love it and we hate it. Fashion never sleeps and it's making me tired. How are we supposed to keep up with it. We buy until we're broke, we wear them until the next season.

When I was younger I only bought trousers, shoes and shirts when I needed them. But now? It's terrible , I see the new collections at stores and I know I don't need it but still I have to have it. Even when I'm out of money. I need to follow fashion. It's like a job where you don't get paid for but where you have to pay for it. It's a little devil on my shoulder and it's saying : ' Who needs money when you can look fabulous.' And for that moment I believe him and I do as he says. For a moment I'm happy and in love with everything but than the little angle comes along and tells me it was stupid of me. That I don't have money to do anything else. Stupid money, stupid clothes.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everybody ! Hope you enjoy it.
