EXPERIMENT LONGBOARDS

Guys and girls,

It's time to check out a new skater brand, called Experiment Longboards.

This hip, new Belgian brand of handshaped longboards distinguishes itself from the other brands by creating custom boards for its customers in the best of materials. The creators are constantly searching for new materials, shapes and production methods to find the ultimate ride.

And yes, the materials are that good. Thanks to the use of bamboo in the boards, you can even run a car over them. Don't believe me? Just check out this video: 

For further information, be sure to contact j.aelvoet@gmail.com or fredschatteman@hotmail.com.

Let it roll!

Kim Kardashian's wedding pics

So, as most of you know, Kim Kardashian got married to Kris Humphries last month. Guess she wanted to Keep up with the (other) Kardashians *wink wink*.

20 August 2011 was the magical day for Kim and Kris (who is a basketball player / 5 years Kim's junior / yet another K in the Kardashian Klan), and, two days ago, the official pictures got released on www.tmz.com. 

Besides Kim's sisters Kourtney & Khloé Kardashian, many other celebs made an appearance. 

Have a look!

Sorry, Lindsay Lohan, but you're starting to look more and more like a 64 year old woman

Sometimes, you just don't want to know why

Serena Williams joined the party, too!

That's better already, Lindsay!

Apparently, it's not just the ladies who get sore feet after wedding parties.
All together now: cuuuuuute!

By the way, did you know that youngest sibling Kylie Jenner was the model for Avril Lavigne's fashion label Abbey Dawn in the New York fashion show, a few weeks after the wedding? Guess that idea must have originated during Kim's 'I do'. 

Saucy!

Can't wait for the next celebrity wedding already!

TESS

When I started this blog, I kind of decided that I would write much more about news and trends within the fashion world, rather than post personal outfits. I would only write about people you know, not just about the ones that I know.

However, when you see a girl like Tess, that can get kind of difficult. 

Why? Tess is that girl that looks like a rockstar and has the body of a model. 

So, when I saw her in yet another jaw-dropping outfit, I decided to bring out the camera and shoot those pretties. 

Come and have a look!

NEWSFLASH: Condé Nast fashion school in London!

Going to a school created by the Vogue organization. 

Sounds kinda unrealistic, right? BUT IT AIN'T! (anymore!) 

In September 2012, an actual Vogue School is starting classes in London! Well, kinda. The official name's got a bit more of a fancy swing to it. Officially, the academy will be named the Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design.

Tsching!

The Vogue house is actually setting foot on yet another new territory. According to Condé Nast's managing director, Nicholas Coleridge, "the brands that Condé Nast houses are strong enough to teach and inspire fashion and to produce tomorrow's talents".

The schools head principal? Susie Forbes, former editor of British Vogue and current editor for Easy Living. Too bad it won't be Ms. Wintour herself who'll call the  parents when the students' grades are going down. 

Already 300 students enrolled for the September 2012 start, so what are you waiting for? Masters in Vogue Fashion for the win!

Want! Want! Want!!!!

Checking out fashion websites on a daily basis for the blog, I've seen some things that are coming our way this fall, and let me tell you: things are looking gooooood.


So, for this post, here's an overview of some quintessential F/W 2011 MUST-HAVES! Yay!!




1. CARINE ROITFELD: IRREVERENT

First and foremost, a fine piece of fashion literature.

After her resignation from French Vogue in December 2010, Carine Roitfeld hasn't exactly been hanging in a hammock in Hawaï, sipping Pina Coladas and enjoying her well-earned retirement. Au contraire!

Since then, she's already collaborated with American department store Barney's (editing, styling and modeling - the woman can do it ALL), teamed up with renowned fashion photographer Terry Richardson, and made guest appearances at every major fashion event that mattered.
And now, the lady is bringing us her first ever book. "Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld's creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld's lead and take risks with their personal style."
Sadly, we still have to wait 'till October 18th for the book to finally hit the stores, but for the real fashionista's among us: you can already pre-order it on www.amazon.com.




2. ISABEL MARANT




Just check out the IM F/W 2011 show, and you'll get a pretty good idea.

Leather sleeveless jackets, jeans shirts (yes, they're still doing it), glitter dresses, frilly boots, ... The collection has got it ALL.




3. SILVER NAIL POLISH
 


You've seen it in the fall/winter 2011 fashion shows, you've seen it on Beyoncé in her new video 1+1, hell, you've even seen it on Tori Spelling's son Liam (don't believe me? check out this picture!). There's no denying that silver nails are HOT this season.


Now, the only thing you have to do is try to pick your fav between all the brands that are bringing out their silvers.




My preference personally goes out to OPI's Your Royal Shineness, as it brushes on very easily, dries really quickly and isn't too glittery (as opposed to many of the other brands, in my opinion) - it's kind of like aluminum paper coated on your nails. Neat!


The only downside is that you can't buy it separately, and are sort of obliged to buy it together with OPI's Servin' Up Silver, which is basically a clear glitter coating. Not really my cuppa'.
But, other than that: rrrrauwtch!

The Serena Williams Glam Slam package which contains Your Royal  Shineness and Servin' Up Sparkle

So, you know what? Bring It On, winter!

Enjoy!
