New arrivals!

Net-a-porter.com had some cool new arrivals yesterday!
THE Miu Miu dress that has been shown on every September cover! I love the huge bow on the neck collar. Unfortunately... it's sold out already!
Beautiful cutout Chloé boots. They are a lovely soft pink-ish terracotta colour and... no heels! So I bet they're very comfy.
A Mulberry knitted scarf that looks very warm and soft. I really like the cute pompoms on the ends. Would love to hang this around my neck since I'm always cold (and also a scarf addict :P).
And last, this Ksubi top with a cute little ghost on it. Looks great with a leather jacket!
Like 'em?

XoXo, Justine W.

Fashionable 'inspiration' wall

Morning!
Last weekend was pretty busy. Saturday I joined a festival with 2 of my best friends. I had a great time and I'll post pictures tomorrow.
Sunday I decided to finally say goodbye to my black and white wallpaper. It has been on there for about 3 years now and to be honest, I haven't really liked it since the beginning. I think the print is far to heavy. Luckaly the paper covered only one wall, the others are black and the last one's white.
My school starts next week so I'm very excited, and to begin this new period of my life I thought it would be time to make this ugly wall a fashionable 'inspiration' wall.
I spent the whole day sorting out my favorite magazine pages, tearing out new ones and glueing and composing them on my wall.
It was a very tireing job but I have to say I love (!) the final result.
I think it looks very cool and although this doesnt really look soothing either, it actually is. There are a lot more colours now but it looks calmer because there's less contrast I think.
What do you think of my latest creative outburst?

Pretty Little Liars

Hey guys!
Just a quick one today since I'm pretty busy at work (it's my last week here and there are all those loose ends that need to be tight up before I leave ;) ).
I've been watching this new series and I'm hooked! I love this show! It's 'Desperate Housewives' but with teenagers! Poor in a little 'Gossip Girl' and POOF! Pretty Little Liars is born!
ABC's newest show is based on the best-selling book series Pretty Little Liars written by Sara Shepherd.
I bought the first book about two years ago but for some reason I still haven't read it. When I discovered the TV series I needed to watch it!
The story is about 5 girls from a town called Rosewood. While they're having a sleepover in a barn, one of them, Alison, disappears. About a year later her body is found and the others think they can finally move on until... they all start receiving texts, emails and letters from... A.
Except for the whole mistery around A. they all have their secrets. To name one; Aria meets a cute guy in a bar and falls for him pretty hard. Him: same story. When she walks into English class the next day she meets her new teacher. Yup. It's her cute bar-boy. What to do when you're in love with your teacher?! OMG I looooove stories like these. Forbidden romances... could watch 'em for ever!
Earlier this year ABC announced their new show to premiere in June. The first season has already ended and existed out of 10 episodes. I've watched all 10 of them and I'm definately hungry for more! The show will be back somewhere this Fall. Let's hope it won't be to long!
It wasn't announced to premiere on Dutch television yet, but I'm sure it won't be long until NET 5 (I'm guessing they'll broadcast it) does.
If you're bored these last few days before school and work are starting again in September, watch it! Perfect during this shitty weather! Enjoy!

The other hottie (if you ask me): Alex. No details, find out for yourself :)

Must have outerware!

Hello again!
It's not really coats and jackets weather yet, but I can't help myself thinking about the newest must-haves for the upcoming season! I'm actually a little bored by everything in my closet at the moment, so in my head I'm throwing it all out and replacing it with the hottest items of the moment. Think of it as 'From catwalk to closet', but literally :P haha.
I've already picked out some coats I'd loooove to have. Well, the style at least. A good camel, leopard fur or pilot from Zara won't be a problem at all!
Now... let's hope I'll find me some soon! If you've seen anything like pictured below and you may think I'd be interested, let me know! Like I said, I'm looking for a nice fur coat (fake off course, and I'd also like a good leopard print), a camel coat and a cool shearling pilot jacket. ;)
What are you planning to treat yourself with for the cold days?

Copy spotted!

Look what I found!
I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Nitrolicious, and saw her latest H&M showroom post. I noticed a black/gold brocade military jacket from the Fall collection and it immediately reminded me of Balmain and McQueen's Fall '10 shows. Both showed brocade items and even the whole setting at McQueen's show was baroque and looked like it came out of a 17th century painting.
I think this H&M jacket is a great copy of the trend and also a fabulous piece for those who can't afford Balmain. I may even like H&M's buttoning more than on the origianl Balmain. It has a more military feeling because of the straight-down buttons. I definitely like the new-military!
What do you think of this trend and H&M's copy?

I Salute you! Justine W.

Inspiration - Week 32

Need some inspiration? Maybe this will help.

I've decided to create more inspiration 'mood-boards' because I always receive positive comments on them.

What's on your Fall wishlists?! Mine definately includes a camel coat. They were all over the catwalks and I think it is very nice, sophisticated, classic trend, that has been gone for quiet some time. I mean, I can't remember camel coats being hot and happening. Can you? There maye have been a single designer now and then who added one in his collection but the glorious camel coat-days are ages ago.

But as we all know it's back! Seen at Chloé, Alexander Wang, Ralph Lauren, Prada and many more!

I especially loved what Chloé showed us. I got really inspired by the warm classy colours. Mustard, Ochre, Camel, Sand, Cognac. These make me want it to be Fall already. Imagine yourself in a Chloé look, walking through a Fall forest, surrounded by red, yellow and brown leaves. Perfect right?!

I took an image of Chloé's show and searched for items matching the trend.

As you know I usually pick items that are wayyyy too expensive, but this inspiration post is a low-budget only post! Maybe this time you're able to actually afford something featured below :P .

I hope this is the first of many to come!

What do you think?

Love the way you lie...

Morning!
Finally! The song that has been on repeat my entire holiday (and after) has a video! Eminem and Rihanna's 'Love the way you lie' is one of my favorite songs at the moment and I've been really curious about  the video.
Big Hollywood stars Megan Fox ('Transformers') and Dominic Monaghan ('Lost') are starring in it as the abusive couple the song is about. I think they're both perfectly casted for these roles and that they really make this story 'come alive'.
Rihanna and Eminem also appear in the video but not in the storyline.
I have to say that I like Riri's newest look. She can definately do the red hair.
