Saranda Sarandipity fashion blog blogger outfit inspiration

Hi there lovely followers,

Happy Wednesday ^^ Today I would like to share some Pinterest inspiration with you all. It has been terrific weather lately here in the Netherlands and this good weather is making me so happy. I am totally ready for spring!

So todays Pinspiration is all about bright colors, cuteness, softness, girly stuff, totally spring-proof for sure.
And, you can also see my love for pastels returning, again 😉 By the way I am still dying to buy a gorgeous lace item like a lace short or this gorgeous lace blouse you can see above. Hopefully I will finally find it this spring hihi.

Which of these looks and items do you like most? Personally I am in love with the top right outfit. A gorgeous beautiful combination of pastel and black (my favorite attire at the moment). I also love love love the pastel pink tulle skirt, it makes the look very romantic. In my eyes a perfect look to wear for a lot of different occasions. For example to Paris Fashion Week, a wedding, a date you name it.

And you, are you already ready for spring?!
Ciao!!

Fashion Journalism by Grazia & Fontys

March 11, 2014

11-03-’14

Hi all,

Last Thursday I had my final evening class of the Fashion Journalism course organized by Fontys Hogescholen and Grazia. The course has been super useful and I learned a lot about fashion, writing, journalism, interviews, online media, magazines, blogging and even marketing. It all has been a great adventure and every evening I went home with a bunch of new found inspiration and positivity. Something I was looking for and kind of needed. Besides a lot of new knowledge and inspiration this course also gave me more self-esteem and dreams. Being a fashion journalist might be the career and dream I need to pursue.. Who knows? 😉 And of course I need to mention the beautiful friendship with Britt and Dagmar, you girls are the best and I will miss you every Thursday evening hihi <3

I would like to thank Fontys Hogescholen and Grazia for organizing this course and for giving me this wonderful opportunity… 🙂

Getting my certificate from Grazia Editor in Chief Hilmar Mulder

Big thanks to Jan from Fontys Hogescholen Journalisitiek

Together with Britt and Dagmar! We graduated, yay! 😉

I learned a lot during the course of Fashion Journalism.

The first evening class Harriet Calo (fashion illustrator and blogger) told us to always stay elegant since you will be likely to meet someone more than once. She also told us that you need to show the world you are willing to work hard to achieve your dreams (and that working experience can also be delivering the newspaper everyday for 5 years haha).

The Dames van Dale told us to always do your research and run the extra mile. You should always try to know and do more than your colleagues. Seems logical, right? On the third evening fashion journalist Karin Kuijpers told us that you should be curious as a fashion journalist and that you should always show courage. I really loved her honesty and wow, this power woman is just bold!

Rinke Tjepkema from the Dutch VOGUE showed me personally that it is not always the right education that matters. She had practically the same background (Pscyhology) as me and actually ended up in the fashion world at one of the most awesome magazines there is. This was so inspiring for me! Besides that Rinke Tjepkema gave us some do’s and don’s within online media. More online media stuff, Kirsten Jassies from Blogtoday and Anouk Bos from Creators of Desire gave us some tips about blogging. They told us that as a blogger you should always be where the buzz is, for example Fashion Weeks.

On the last evening Carolien Vader from Bladendokter.nl told us about the Psychology behind Marketing, super interesting and a heads up for me. Psychology is everywhere, yay!

During this last evening class we also got feedback on our articles and other assingments. We ended the course with a glass bubbles and all got our certificates. Now the course is over and I still have not figured out what I am going to do with my Thursday evenings haha. Ah well, we will see 😉

Have a lovely day! xoxo Saranda

Trend report: A little bit of flare

March 9, 2014

Hi there lovely followers,

How has your weekend been? Mine has been super relaxed. I went to a part of Hollland with a lot of nature and old farms with family. It was just so nice to not be busy with social media, internet (although I was said the wifi did not work yesterday evening haha) and work.

Today I want to share a trend report from a trend I started noticing when I was shopping last week. Wide sleeves, flared jeans, wide wavy skirts, flared clothing is HOT! Luckily it does not only give me a seventies / hippies feeling, flared clothes also have a elegant touch to it. Personally I am not yet convinced, I do like the tops but the flared jeans, I just don’t know. But I would definitely like to try this trend and explore my options since this trend is just wearable by almost everybody. For example: a flared jeans or pantalon accentuates your waistline and it actually makes you look taller. Style a flared jeans with a chic blouse or pretty top. The other way around you could style a top with wide sleeves with a chic skinny jeans. Voila!

In the collage above you can see some of my favorite flared items, you definitely should have these items in your closet if you ask me ;).

Ciao!!

Sarandipity fashion blog outfit ootd personal style blogger tosca blu pandora noosa amsterdam loavies

Hi there,

How has your week been so far? Mine has been great, had some lovely shoots with fellow bloggers, went to Amsterdam to visit Fashiolista and had my last evening class of the course fashion journalism. Besides that I went to the Nelly High Heels event from Nelly, Styletoday and Saturn yesterday… More about that later 😉

For now let me show you this look, since the weather is getting nicer everyday and I feel the spring vibe everywhere I really wanted to wear a spring proof outfit on Thursday. After I visited the Fashiolista office I went to Schiphol so me and Britt could grab a bite and shoot our outfit photos. Unfortunately the viewpoint was closed already and so we had to search for a good location a bit more haha. Well the results are not bad I must say 😉

I am wearing a blazer from H&M. t-shirt from Loavies, pants from MANGO, heels from Zara and my all time favorite bag from Tosca Blu! My jewelry is from Pandora, Noosa Amsterdam and Jetset.

What do you think of this quite simple, spring proof look? Hot or Not?
Ciao!!
