The June issue of Vogue Netherlands will launch tomorrow already! But haven't posted the issue of May yet so therefore this post! Little bit too late but better late than never ;) 

p.s
Before you start reading I'm not pretending to be a journalist, because I'm just not! So, don't take it too seriously. Just want to share with you my view on the second issue of VOGUE Netherlands. 
Just because. And may be I can make you (Dutch or not- Dutch) peepsz curious about this magazine if you haven't read it yet! ;) 

VOGUE Netherlands - Editor in Chief, Karin Swerink

See below for some highlights of VOGUE Netherlands May issue that caught my attention and of which I made my very own summary :)

1.
Vogue Fashion - Rock steady trend
Love this trend! It’s so much fun to combine sequins, broidery, paillettes and colorful shiny stones to your everyday outfit! It's true, they are really cool on your bag, skirt or even on your shoes or whatever! ;)

2.
Miss Vogue by Fiona Hering – Toujours Paris
This is a beautiful article about a typical place in Paris and about the typical Parisian women. “Left bank chic” is a style of the typical Parisians. It’s a mix between Burgundies "Joi de vivre" and a bohemian lifestyle.  “Subtle imperfection”

3.
Miss Vogue Front row – Digital prints
I do have a weakness for the digital prints! It’s already such a nice thing only to look at it! This article tells you which designers are the masters in making the digital prints. Let me reveal to you two amazing designers; Alexander McQueen (SS10 Plato’s Atlantis) and none other than Mary Katrantzou. Especially  with her FW 2012 collection she proves to us that she is really really good with prints!

4.
Miss Vogue Profile – A timid visionary
This article is about Lucas Ossendrijver a Dutch designer who is now chief designer of Lanvin Homme. So cool! In this article he tells us about his vision of Lanvin Homme. For him Lanvin Homme is a big challenge. Luckily, he did it and he made it work so far! Also nice to read about his special bond with Alber Elbaz (Chief designer of Lanvin Femme) 

"we have a father son relationship"

“We wave at each other occasionally, but usually he has its curtain closed when he is at work”

Cute! ;)

Vogue jewellery – Easy pieces
All those jewelllery at the moment! The more the bigger the better! I must admit that I sometimes like it just subtle as well.  Just so girly, undefined, sophisticated, and sexy at the same time! 
– Styling: Dimphy den Otter – Photography: Marc de Groot

6.
Vogue Art  - Street art
Gent, a city in Belgium that turns into a real art city in the months May till September! I already know Gent of its “Gentse feesten” A music festival.  Always pretty liveable! After having read this article I really think about visiting Gent during this TRACK event! Who knows :)

Once were warriors – Fashion shoot
Just look at those cuffs, really! Again I feel I have this weakness for bling bling!  
- Styling: Marie Goekoop – Photography: Petrovsky & Ramone

8.
Vogue Interview – Lara Stone.
A girl (Dutch model) who is remarkably down to earth! Great personality! 
– Interview: Jessica Durlacher – Photography: Josh Olins

9.
Fashion shoots: Jewel Of the Ocean & Duende
I like her styling shoots for Vogue Netherlands!
– Styling: Martien Mellema – Photography: Paul Bellaart (Duende) – Photography: Anne Menke (Jewel of the Ocean)

10.
 Vogue Fashion – Bart van Leeuwen
Really fell in love with his way of photography by reading this article. It’s not just a dress and a model he photographs, his work is full with charisma. Love it! 
- Text by Fiona hering

11.
Vogue Archief  - Viva La Danse
I agree! It’s so true! Some clothes really are more beautiful when they move! 

12.
Vogue Woman – Marina Abramovic
Just one word “RESPECT!” 
– Text by Steffie Kouters

13.
Vogue World – The power of the crowd
Say goodbye to the individualism! And hello crowdfunding! It’s actually not human nature that we live in anonymity. We do need each other. The new dimension is about communal interests. Give your vote! It doesn’t matter who you are. We need and we can learn from each other to "survive" in our society.

Challenge - The Next Whatstrend Blogger

THE NEXT WHATSTREND BLOGGER

Wow! Stepping into the shoes of Cindy from the blog COTTDS is a super duper challenge and almost scary if you ask me. Because, why whould I just be THE NEXT WHATSTREND BLOGGER?!
Well, I will tell you...

P.s Do you want to know more about this competition please visit the blogpost of COTTDS by clicking here .

































I AM VALERIE -  IT'S LIKE PASSION FOR PEANUT BUTTER

"Something so wrong looks pretty cool actually"

First of all I think it’s important to know that I see this opportunity not only as a challenge to become the next whatstrend blogger but as a learning process for me as well. I am blogging for almost a year now and I enjoyed every single step of my blogging experience so far. The first months I had 19 followers, Lookbook.nu started with 22 hypes. Last week I discovered that one of my outfits on Chictopia got 258 votes and I was happily surprised that I was featured on MTV style. Just wow! I’m growing.

The it’s like passion for peanut butter blog is a blog that shows my view on fashion by showing outfits with me as a model that are originally styled, risk related and at the same time accessible. It’s unpolished and I'm being vulnerable in every single post in order to be open for every kind of feedback. Somebody else's opinion is important to learn and to get better. What you see is who I am. 

"I like to take risks when choosing my outfit"

I don't make any difference between brands and "no name" products. Important is the awareness of materials, price and quality, the attention to details and the trend-sensitivity. It's the originality of an item or outfit that I like to show on my blog.

By scouring stores I'm dealing with my weakness for gadgets and must haves. In my blog I like to inform and express my view on fashion facts. I am constantly aware about fashion in general. It’s a natural feeling that I am always observing and orientating to things that attract my attention consciously and unconsciously. All those different perspectives give me an inspiration boost that I later translate into my own style. Being aware of my style? Let me give you some keywords: EDGY - URBAN CHIC - COLOR OBSESSIONED – DAYDREAMER  – SENSITIVE

"In every outfit I see a challenge"





























































IT´S LIKE PASSION FOR PEANUT BUTTER LOOKS!

"Get the most from your clothes"



MY FAVOURITE GADGETS AND MUST HAVES AT THE MOMENT - INSTAGRAM







































Well, that was a glimpse of my blog. This was just a little summary of what you can expect when I will be THE NEXT WHATSTREND BLOGGER! BEWARE!

New in - Zara blue leather tote bag






I am actually not that typical girl that has TOO many bags and shoes. Let's say I can still count them on one or maybe two hands! ;) Really, but that's it! I don't know if that's a bad or good thing. :P
I'm just very sceptical when it comes to bags...
But then, this Thursday I finally found the right bag for me after months! It's a tote bag! Perfect size, awesome color with a sporty look. Very nice! Never thought I would buy one, because I didn't like the size of THE famous totes from zara in the colors black and camel. If anyone know what I mean?! ;) Well!!! You know I'm just glad I've found this new buddy!! ;)

xx- take care!
