Lara

So down to earth. I love how she is still so normal and has so many different faces. Here Lara just looks like the fifteen year old model, posing in Ellegirl, so insecure in a way and so natural as well.

Shopping front row, Burberry Prorsum

Model and Writer Laura Bailey was spotted front row at the Burberry Prorsum show, and inspired me for this week's shopping. Mix a pleated black skirt with a white shirt and some fifties accessories such as the silk tie, boxed bag and round sunglasses. Check out Laura Bailey's blog on Vogue.uk.

Shooting comfort

Last weekend I had another 'free work' shoot with photographer Mick de Lint, who is a model himself, but now turning behind the camera into an amazing film and photo producer! Loved working with him because of his relaxed style, same goes for our model Isabella Oelz / Elite Models. Here a view backstage:

Inspiring NYC

  

Some inspiration for the new season shot by Tommy Ton during NYC Fashion Week.

Cristel Ball jewels

A new sport's in town. Spotted on the Modefabriek last summer and following her work and collections ever since is young jewelry designer "Cristel Ball". From all different places all over the world she gathers her treasures and makes them into very minimal but edgy jewels for the neck, ears and wrists. 

When I first spotted them, they made me think of jewelery designer Pamela Love, but this girl has her own twist to things, and a lower price scale, so it is affordable as well. You can look and buy the Crystal Ball collection at Restored in Amsterdam (Haarlemmerdijk) now!

After Summer Stock

Now don't go all black just because Fall is coming around the corner. There is still that little summer sun trying to break through the clouds. So let's be all bright and recall our summer days. And yea, prepare for fashion week wardrobe!
