Personal style diary

Found two lovely mails in my inbox, asking me to feature in a post on their Blog, very exciting. But there were some important questions I had to answer like, describe your style, taste of fashion and well, I think you know what sort of questions they were. Well, ofcourse I know myself, my style and how I look at Fashion but it's damn hard to describe it to people who don't live and look in my head 24/7. 

First of all I see my Blog as my personal Diary. I changed a lot as a person in the last two years. My style changed with the days, months that followed. A few years ago, my clothes had the intention and purpose to shock and provoke people. In those times people really didn't get my personality so my answer was, well than I'm going to dress my self to your not-understanding. After that one year crazy phase I grew so much as a person. I moved to Amsterdam to study Advertisement, Marketing and Communication and met the most interesting people with a new view on life. My whole perception of the world around me changed and obviously my taste in clothes and the way I express my self did. I didn't felt the pressure to act 'different' anymore so I had more time and energy to focus on the real me. My style adapted to that and now I try to wear clothes that suit my inner being and the way I feel every day. I still feel the pressure sometimes though to wear unique clothes, and honestly sometimes I can't stand seeing people wearing the same clothes as me ( think a lot of people can relate to that ). But then I realise that I still have a lot to learn, working progress haha.

Music also defines what I wear on a daily basis. I get inspirited so often that I definitely don't have a certain style. It changes every day because of that, and I find it interesting to keep an eye on it, by posting it on my personal diary Blog. It's like a timeline, where you can see, what was on my mind in that certain time of my life. If you're interested in my daily thoughts, and to know me just a little bit better than you can always follow me on Twitter. Hope you have a pleasant evening. Lots of love, Herphoenix

Bluebird story

Hello guys on this Sunday night. I always find it difficult to write a story with my posts. I want to make this Blog more personal so I'm going to try to write some more. My weekend was really busy but had so much fun. I celebrated Queensnight ( a national holiday, in celebration to the Queen ) with my love, my best friend and her boyfriend on an amazing boat in Amsterdam. Saturday was all about getting some rest and relax. Luckily today we had some time to shoot a new look. The wind made this difficult because my skirt was moving everywhere in stead of staying at the place it should be. But Tyson, my lovely boyfriend and photographer always makes it work, no matter of the circumstances we deal with. Glad to have this partner to make some great pictures happen! With love, herphoenix

Fire drill photo time

As you may or may not know, my lovely boyfriend takes almost all my photos for the blog. The sweetheart puts a lot of effort and energy in it ( I can be such a perfectionist, bore and quitter. So I'm really thank full for that haha. ) The only problem is that he lives 3 hours away. I study in Amsterdam for 5 days in the week and he studies in the south of the Netherlands, where I grew up and my parents live. I almost every weekend travel back to the south to catch up with them. As you can see, only in the weekends and holidays I can shoot some pictures. Luckily though, an amazing friend of mine, helps me out! Love for Kimberley. Today there was a fire drill during class, so we took this moment to find a nice spot to shoot, so I could show you what I was wearing today. Her camera ran out of battery so these photos were made with her Iphone, and I must say that the quality isn't that bad at all. Btw; please do not pay any attention to my tooth's who look terribly red on the last picture because of the light. They do not look like that in real life thankfully haha. Hope you all had a great day.

Who you are

Got my new shoes! Even though I still have pain of wearing them today, I'm absolutely in love with them.
