I get a lot of questions about where to find Cat Eye sunglasses. Occasionally I come across a specimen or two, but I have to say Asos is by far the best source for these retro shades. Just look at th...
Luisa Bianchin by Alexander Neumann for LOfficiel Paris February 2012
Sometimes I find myself in the situation, where something is just so wrong I need to have it! This is what happened last week, when I was doing some Primark shopping. I spotted this satin leopard jac...
I have been looking for pretty mint green shoes for months. The colour is very much in season, but for some reason I disliked every single pair I came across so far. Either they were too green, too p...
Most of you probably dont know I am actually part Indonesian. I used to be slighty coloured as a child, but I grew up having a very pale skintone. My grandfather was from Indonesia, but unfortunately...
Besides having a cute garden, we also have a tiny roof terrace on the first floor. Which is great at the end of the day, when the sun is going down... gives us an extra hour to enjoy the sunshine. Th...
This month you can win this amazing book about fashion history. Filled with pictures from the K.C. Institute, which holds the most extravagant collection of vintage fashion. I have this book myself a...
Over the last few weeks I bought some lovely bright accessories. Today I was wearing them all at once (coincidentally haha) and it just looked so happy-happy together; I had to make some pictures.......
Twice a year, the Autotron in Rosmalen turns into a huge fifties walhalla. Vintage lovers from all over the country gather (and surrounding countries like Germany I might add) to celebrate the 1940s-...
Authentic clothing from the twenties is very hard to come by. And in the rare occasion I do stumble upon a piece that is over 80 years old, it is either black or a bad shape (most of the times; both....
Ok how adorable is this! A tiny little house in a pendant to wear around your neck. The house is made out of paper and is my personal favourite from the label Het Paradijs. Its from a series of uniqu...
Yesterday, we went to visit family. My husbands family as well as mine, since there were birthdays on both sides. I wore my new very yellow Levis 501 for the occasion. These jeans are so inbcredibly ...
I have so much trouble with finding jeans to fit me, its almost ridiculous! The size difference between my torso and hips is just too big (sometimes up to three sizes!) The good thing is, I discovere...
Today I finally found some time to hit the thriftstore again. Since my husband took the car, I went there by bus and the funniest thing happened. I was watching the Esprit ads (with beautiful Gisele)...
The New Look silhouette is my favourite. Its very feminine and fortunately it looks good on me. I believe creating that hourglass figure is the best way to create a fifties look. These days, a huge t...
Today is Queensday, and that means the entire country wille be turned orange! I like the idea of Queensday, celebrating the royal family in a very festive way with all kinds of jolly activities. It i...
I love love LOVE Sex and the City. I have watched every episode at least five times (since I have all the seasons on dvd) and Im still not bored with watching Carrie and het friends. Stylist Patricia...
Every once in a while I come across (or go looking for) young designers and fresh labels. Im primarily interested in those whose designs are inspired by the past, or can be interpreted so... all whil...
Spotted at H&M, this elegant fifties inspired dress. I just love the colour, bodice and the neckline. How great will this dress look on a tanned summer skin! I wonder how you would style thi...
Oh how I love pastels... I have always loved them, but since theyre now in season I can cruise the shops looking for the perfect shades to fit my skintone. Iam quite pale and not all pastels look goo...
Oh yes.... I like new things too.... I like them a lot. And the good thing about Fashiolista; I can shop for hours without spending a dime! If you want to follow Fifties Darlings shopping adventures ...
For our big party, we rented a huge space in a cultural centre in Utrecht. We love the light in there, and the atmosphere... so when we were looking for a wedding venue; this was the place. We invite...
The best B&B ever! What a romantic house... perfect for a honeymoon! The B&B is based in a huge twenties mansion, with a big red velvet staircase and beautiful decorations everywhere. We were...
A quik-spring-look in between; all shopped at Asos (sale) making the entire outfit cost less than 125 euro! I just love the combination of the bright colours. A modern-day outfit with a hint of sixti...
For a visit to the World Fashion Centre, I had to wear a fashionable outfit (wihtout losing my style... since Im not very much like most Dutch fashionistas.) I wanted to wear killer heels, but unfort...
Held at Goudestein in Maarssen, with 30 of our closest friends and family! Pictures made by my lovely friend and photographer Lisette Jacobs.
The third day we headed back to Marais for some vintage shopping! I have to say its really hard to shop vintage in Paris, cause its either véry expensive or very 1980s (which I personally dislike mos...
The day I was driving around Utrecht, sorting out my pop-up shop, I was wearing a very jolly outfit. It wasn;t even that warm outside, but the presence of sunshine always brings out the summer-girl i...
New in; these Blink shoes. Lovely for when you want to wear heels, but have to walk/stand a bit. The strap gives a lot of extra support and the platform makes the shoe more comfortable. After walking...
