New buy: Stick with your first love: the Isabel Marant Reilly jacket

The Reilly/ July (they call them both names) jacket from Isabel Marant was my favourite item from the SS2011 collection, but the price tag and the fact I already owned many special jackets kept me from buying it. So when the sale started I was again in doubt whether I should go after this jacket. I decided to do so and ended up buying my second choice, the NAP july jacket. But that one made me realise even more that second best even wasn't enough. As if it was faith I ended up finding this beauty quite soon and with 20 % off, so my patience is rewarded!

Here some pics to show the beautyfull datails that not only makes this a amazing jacket, but also a true piece of art!

New Summer buy: Missoni dress

The tropical weather has started here, and isn't there a better way to celebrate that than with a missoni dress? I have always dreamed about a missoni dress, but I never found one that had a classic print and shape, degrading colour effect or the right price. So I stuck to my more budget-friendly missoni zig-zag scarfs. And then I found this amazing flame print dress on ebay which answered all my requirements! I always get a kind of adrenaline rush when I find something I am looking for such a long time!

Just a few days before the missoni sale on the outnet, but I decided the chances were small I would find another perfect missoni dress there (little did I know...) So soon I will have a lot of missoni garments and I love it, the perfect knitting, the great colours..... I really needed some WOW-factor summer clothes. Can't wait for my other Missoni treats to arrive!

Polyvore: 3x Patrizia Pepe jacket

I have been eyeing this jacket for months and I liked everything about it except the price. So I waited for the sale, checking the Patrizia Pepe site over and over again, but no luck. But today, thanks to a lovely Ellegirl-forum member I heard the sale was up. I already think about different looks I can create with this jacket and I can't wait for it to arrive!

New buy: Ultimate party dress

I always think about what items I am missing in my wardrobe. And one of these things is a over-the-top, breathtaking party dress. I loved this 3.1 Philip Lim dress last year, when I saw it in a store, but it was a little bit over budget. Later I saw it on the outnet, but it was sold out. Sometimes I came back to see if somebody returned it, wich happenes quite often and today it was back again! So now I am ready for some hot summer party's preferably in the South of france, Baoli here I come!

dress: 3.1 Philip Lim

5 piece french wardrobe: The ultimate classic, a Chanel jacket!

One of the most perfect basic in your wardrobe is a Chanel jacket, it is perfectly made, you can wear it when you are 20 or 80 years old and it gives style to every look. As most of you know I was dreaming about owning a Chanel jacket one day and that day came earlier than expected: Sometimes I make "treasure hunts" on ebay, I search for designer things for nice prizes, I was lucky nobody else found it, I was the only bidder. I love how the fabrick is made up, the chain on the lower part to make it fall heavy and the buttons wich don't scream chanel but whisper it....

Jacket: Chanel

New Buy: Basics

Every wardrobe needs good basics and especially my white T's needed replacement. I heard from many people the basics from COS are quality vs price very good, so I will give it a try. I also found this triangle lace bra there. I think it will be perfect under tank-tops this summer.

Holy Grail found: Isabel marant flana jacket

I am so happy! My Isabel Marant flana jacket came in. After searching all over amsterdam this spring and searching all over Ebay (and losing an auction in the last 5 seconds), I finally grabbed my hands on the most amazing jacket I've ever seen! This will be my to go jacket for every special occasion like dinners, party's and chique afternoon drinks. Can't wait for summer and wear it with a frilly skirt!

New Buy: Isabel Marant Boucle jacket

When I saw all my clothes in my walk in closet, I realised how many basics I have and I have a lot of clothes! I have decided a few weeks ago to spend my money on one special item instead of many items. I now see I have so much more fun with buying one amazing jacket instead of 5 not-so-special ones. These brands that have amazing things, but are still kinda affordable are Rika, Acne, Etoile by Isabel Marant, T by Alexander Wang and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I always wanted a boucle jacket from Isabel Marant and when I saw the slightly more affordable version from Etoile by Isabel Marant I snapped it up as quick as possible on Net-a-Porter I love how the fabric contains different colours like burgundy and blue if you look really close. Other places to shop Isabel Marant is de Bijenkorf and Buise, a shop on the Cornelis Schuytstraat.

I can't wait to receive my pretty black box!!!
