The Short Story

Hi lovelies,

How is your weekend so far? Mine is great, the weather is so sunny over here in Holland it makes me happy and wishing it was summer already! 

When the temperature is getting higher and the sun starts to shine I can't wait to pull out my shorts again.. Shorts are one of my favorite pieces for spring and summer, because you can combine them in so many different ways. You can put heels under it to make your outfit more feminine, but you can also wear them with flats and a nice simple t-shirt or top for a casual look. And another great thing you have them in so many different types. You have the denim shorts for a casual or tough look but also the very classy, feminine ones made from cotton or lace. So there is a perfect short for everyone!

As you can read I really love the short! Just to give you some ideas how you can wear different styles when it comes to a short I collected some of my favorite combinations for some inspiration..

What is your favorite way to combine your shorts?

With Love, J.

A New season - A New face for H&M

Hi Lovelies,

Did you hear the news?! Miranda Kerr, one of our favorite models, is going to be the face for the spring campaign for H&M. Miranda Kerr revealed the news yesterday on her instagram account. Isn't that great news?! I think it is. Miranda Kerr is one of my favorite models with her dimples and iconic brown hair. 

The combination H&M and a Victoria Secret Angel has worked before.. After Gisele Bündchen and our own Doutzen Kroes it's the turn of Miranda Kerr to shine in the new campaign.  

I can't wait for the spring catalogue, can you?

With Love, J.

4. Crop it up with the Crop Top

Okay I know what you're thinking right now 'yeah right, no way, I'm not ready to show my belly yet', at least that was my first reaction to this trend. It's not that I'm full figured or something, I'm very content with how my tummy looks but still even I have to hit the gym more often. Okay enough about that issue. The Crop top.. Even if you are full figured you can pull of a crop top, look at the Kardashian's. So even the crop top is for every figure and it comes in different type: long sleeve, lace, cotton. When you combine it with a high waist jeans and some biker boots you create a very tough look, but when you combine it with a nice high waist pencil skirt so it will only show a little bit of skin you create a very classy and sexy look.
