Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam Aziz Bekkaoui finale

Ciao loves,

Last month Amsterdam hosted the biggest events for the Dutch fashion world. It was time for Mercedes-Benz fashion week and the latter of the Dutch fashion scene, read: editors, fashionista’s, bloggers, famous Dutchies and models, went to the Westergasfabriek to enjoy and celebrate fashion. I was there as well, for two days, and I gathered some pictures of my favorite shows!

Here it is, a little bit later due to some personal stuff going on, my MBFWA favorites. My apologies.

Really hope you are going to like the photographs I made and I am curious to hear your opinions on the collections  I am showing you today! Enjoy your Sunday 🙂

Baci,
Saranda

Life is a beach – Outfit post

Life is a beach outfit ootd dutch fashion blogger sarandipity sarandaadriana playsuit my isabelli noosa amsterdam daniel wellington5

Ciao dearies,

Sometimes life is a beach! And in this OOTD shooting case, this was the beach of my dreams! A blue sky with pretty clouds, a blue-greenish sea with lots of waves, wind and gorgeous tanned sands <3

Last week I was on a short vacation to Texel one of the Dutch islands and the weather was mostly pretty bad. Therefore I tried to make use of all the dry moments which resulted in some windy outfit shooting with my boyfriend on the beach and in the dunes. I already wore this jumpsuit a lot but never was able to take pictures in the right setting. As I have felt that this jumpsuit needed a bit of an exotic / Ibiza feeling. Well here it is, life is a beach and the Dutch beaches can have that perfect Eivissa atmosphere if you find the right beach!

Check out more photos below, personally I am super exicted to share this OOTD with you and I really hope you will like this shoot just as much as I do 🙂

In this outfit I was wearing my ISABELLI playsuit (buy similar playsuit in SALE today!), NOOSA Amsterdam Tattoo bag, Daniel Wellington watch* and a cute silver 4everywitheveryone bracelet via STIJLdepartment*. Get your own Daniel Wellington watch on danielwellington.com and get 15% off by using ‘Saranda’ before the end of August 🙂

Event report: M.A.C. Cosmetics x Extrema Outdoor

mac cosmetics extrema outdoor blogger event dutch fashion sarandaadriana17

Ciao dearies!

OMG I am so excited to share this blogpost with you! Two weekends ago I was invited to go to this huge open air festival in Holland called Extrema Outdoor. This festival is all about love, peace and music and M.A.C. cosmetics was doing the make-up for the opening and end show.

Unlimited PR asked me if I wanted to join them and M.A.C. to this festival with backstage access to see the make-up artists working their cosmetics make-up! This day I took a lot of photos, enjoyed the festival together with fellow bloggers, Laura from Unlimited PR and my lovely boyfriend who decided he could not let this cool festival pass by without joining me… 🙂

Not only was it super interesting too see the make-up artists at work, it was also really amazing that we were treated like VIP’s the whole day! From free drinks, and amazing, healthy lunch, M.A.C. touch up at the Bijenkorf and a little goodiebag from M.A.C.!

The whole experience was well conceived and organised. At the end of the day I was pretty tired but this day was really one of the coolest events I have had as a blogger! Thanks again to Laura, Unlimited PR, M.A.C. Cosmetics and Extrema Outdoor for this day, it was pretty freaking awesome!

Event report: Garcia Jeans FW15 show

Garcia Jeans Fashion Show SS16 from Garcia Jeans on Vimeo.

Ciao dearies,

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to join Maison PR to the Garcia jeans FW15 show at the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam. Together with a lot of people from the international fashion press and just a handful of fellow Dutch bloggers I enjoyed a wonderful show from the Dutch brand with Italian roots.

I was really honored to be there and to be able to now share this report with you all! As a Dutchy with an Italian heart, love of Italian fashion and taste of Italian food, this was truly one of the most amazing events I have ever been to!

The event started with a little peak backstage where we saw a part of the shows rehearsal, models in hair and make-up and we already saw some cool items! The event ended with a denim focused show which by far exceeded my expectations!

I fell totally fell head over heels in love with this brand. Check out my report including a little preview of the upcoming fall collection! What is your opinion on Garcia Jeans?!

Baci,

Like one of your French girls – Outfit post

dutch fashion blogger sarandaadriana french girls outfit parisian ootd streetstyle mbfwa fashionweek

Spotted by Team Peter Stigter at MBFWA

Ciao dearies,

Last weekend it was that time of the summer when fashion loving Dutchies gathered in Amsterdam for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam. Of course I could not let this edition pass by unnoticed so I went for 2 days and had a great time.

I went to Amsterdam Fashion Week for the opening night with shows from Aziz Bekkaoui, Judith van Vliet / Chris van den Elzen en de Haute Couture show from Monique Collignon. As it was the opening night, which sounds like a big deal to me, I decided to pull a style change and go for something high fashion but easy to wear and very French!

The statement items of this look, Culottes and the hat of course. But can you remember that one blog post I wrote about trends that I was a tat afraid of? Well I think I nailed it with the culottes this time, don’t you think so?!

At least the streetstyle photographers at MBFWA did! 😉 Feeling, looking and walking like on of your french girls felt amazing and it gave me a huge confidence boost!

Speaking of the culotte trend, I am definitely embracing this trend right now! I can’t wait to show you many more outfits with this item. I really love how the culottes make me feel super duper feminine and that you can style the culottes in a really chic sophisticated french way or casual with a sneaker or flat sandals! For this outfit I paired my culottes with a simple breton striped top (both H&M), a leather jacket from Oakwood, slingbacks and hat (also H&M) and my JoTotes camera bag.

What do you think of this french girls outfit? And what is your opinion on culottes right now?! Let me know dearies <3
