the 9 streets online

In Amsterdam, there are 9 great shopping streets to go to. At least that is what I’ve heard. Now you can find these shops online. So you can very easily from behind your computer buy nice jewellery, art, books, gifts, vintage stuff and other cute goodies. Personally it’s a bit too expensive for me. But anyway there are a things I really like.

Jackie: cover copycat

photography: Philip Riches

Styling: Renu Kashyap

Hair and make-up: Siddhartha for Bobbi Brown

Model: Rianne from Wilma Wakker Model Management

Clothes

dress: Stella McCartney

Neckless: Aurélie Bidermann

Bracelet: Gassan Diamonds

Now you can make your own copycat look. Personally, I think the apple necklace is very nice and I like the wooden heel. I certainly will were them all summer, if I’ve got such heels. The dress with fruit print, inspired on Stella McCartney's dresses, are a big hit this summer so they are worth buying, they are very cheerful and a bit back to the fifties.

So, ready for a fruity summer

perfume advertisements

J'adore Dior

Nou: Jasmin Noir, the essence of a jeweller

Prada Candy: Eau de parfume

Givenchy: Dehlia Noir, The new fragrance

Valentino: Valentina

Burberry Boddy: The new fragrance for women

Jimmy Choo Parfum

Versace: Bright crystal

These perfume advertisements are all different, the ones who appeal most to me are the adverts form J'adore Dior, Prada Candy and Versace Bright Crystal.

Why do they grab my attention?

The ad from Dior and Versace is very powerful and has a strong appearance. The Prada advertisement has something that makes me look at it. I think it is the composition of the picture and both Dior and Prada have a rather interesting vial.

Which ad grabs your attention?

Persuasion list: moments you want to forget

1. On "Black Saturday" you had planned a flight to a tropical resort, you overslept and because of the huge crowds at the airport you missed plane. And you know that you have to listen for many, many birthdays to it.
2. Your friend who had his first gray hair, and to hide them in a spontaneous mood he decides to dye his hair black and goes to live as a gothic.
3. your favorite little black dress got lost on vacation (probably you made a Spanish cleaning lady very happy with it.)
4. At a concert from The Black Eyed Peas you dance like crazy. So you will lose your friends and your phone. Then spend the rest of the night on a beer after an hour waiting by the car in the pouring rain.
5. Already know that on Santa Clouse evening there won’t be waiting a new Prada bag, but the bag of blame.
6. You went to the après-ski in your beautiful new white Gucci ski pants within seconds under the gunk is beer / jägermeister / cigarettes.
7. That the slobbering black Lab from your parents sniffs a bit too enthusiastic when you saw him for the first time.
8. On the very first movie premiere of your life, when your slide on the red carpet, while your sexy hold-up stocks underneath your black cocktail dress are coming down to your ankle.
9. After a very enjoyable evening with a great guy with black curls, forgotten his name, and forgotten to ask for his number. You know that you’re never going to see him back.
10. Cruising convertible with the black Saab from your brother, and parking it flawlessly. At least. If there were not such annoying pales in Amsterdam.

Beautytrends (part 5)

Eyelashes

What eyelashes regards: avoid thick coats of mascara and get a natural look. Cobwebs are so last season.

Tip: Use vibrating mascara for a clean effect

But you also can easily get a natural look without using a vibrating mascara, but be sure that your mascara is more liquid than solid, this prevents your eyelashes to stick to clumps of mascara.

How do you get such beautiful eyelashes?

It is not that difficult if you do it on a proper way. You just need to ensure that you have mascara that suits you. That is almost always Volume mascara. Actually, you have three types of eyelashes (short  and straight, long and curly and normal). You should take a swab, and it is also useful if you have an eyelash curler.

How do you do it?

1. Make sure that there isn’t any make-up around your eyes.

2. Bend your eyelashes up whit the eyelash curler, do this twice, and hold it for 30 seconds.

3. Put a tiny bit of day cream on your eyelid and your eyelashes, then will the mascara stick better.

4. You can put now the first layer of mascara on. Pick up the brush and wipe thoroughly. Apply one coat of mascara, to your top and bottom lashes. Make sure you touch all layers, because you must ensure that the thickness is similar. When you have done this, wait two minutes.

5. You can put now the second layer on your lashes. Make sure there is less mascara on the brush. And do the same as you did before. Let it dry.

6. And at least, make a cotton swab wet to take the mascara that came on your skin away.

lashes with little mascara and a lovely look! Just make sure you remove mascara before you going to sleep, because if you do not, you lashes will break

Good luck Jelske
