After the boyfriends plaid shirt, now...the boyfriends jeans yes. You've probably already seen this on several blogs: everybody loves the boyfriend and especially his jeans ;). A few weeks ago, me and F. did a major cleanup in his appartment, that was about time! He also cleaned his wardrobe and gave me a bunch of clothes to list on ebay or give away or something. I've already sold some stuff but I decided to keep this gorgeous jeans (:p) for myself and to give this 'new trend' a go. The jeans is just perfect, too big around the waist offcourse but the rest of it (the washing, the loose fit, length,...) is perfect. As you can see in the pic's below the boyfriend jeans is the most versatile piece but I like it the most with extremely feminine fabrics and colors such as pink, silk, ruffles, bows and elegant shoes. Also showing a little skin (ankles, cleavage, whathever :o) gives it an extra feminine touch. + it's a great feeling wearing something your boyfriend used to wear. ++ it's so light and airy, like the opposite of the skinny pants i'm used too. Nice. You should give it a try too
Kben al eventjes aant twijfelen of dees soort broek al dan niet tot de categorie '3kwarts' behoort. Zoja: dan zondig ik weeral serieus tegen mijn eigen regels :p. Maar kvind ze net ietsje langer dan 3 kwarts eigenlijk. Juist de enkels zijn bloot. Dus daar gaan we niet op muggenziften é :p
Als Katie Holmes hier de jeans van hare husband Tom Cruise aanheeft, wat me heel onwaarschijnlijk lijkt, waarom moet ze die dan in godsnaam nog opsloven, zou die er bij haar niet als een short moeten uitzien??? :s it does not make sense.

Beauty & Style are ageless

Serge et ses femmes

"Je suis petit voleur, grand faussaire, flambeur, vitriolé, dépressif, pessimiste forcené, fier, tracard, indélébile, maladroit, addict et violent".
Serge Gainsbourg. Les Inrockuptibles. 1988.
Left: France Gall - Right: Brigit BardotHis second wife: the wonderful Jane BirkinBirth of Charlotte His third wife: BambouSerge et Charlotte

Pictures from the magnificent book 'Serge Gainsbourg - Et Caetera'

Serge Gainsbourg (2 April 1928 – 2 March 1991) was a French poet, singer-songwriter, actor and director. Gainsbourg's varied musical style and individuality made him difficult to categorize. His legacy has been firmly established, and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential musicians. He was born Lucien Ginsburg[3] in Paris, France, the son of Russian Jewish parents who fled to France after the 1917 Bolshevik uprising. His childhood was profoundly affected by the occupation of France by Nazi Germany, during which he and his family, as Jews, were forced to wear the yellow star and eventually flee Paris. Before he was 30 years old, Gainsbourg was a disillusioned painter but earned his living as a piano player in bars.

He had two children in the 1960's with his first wife: a daughter named Natacha and a son, Paul. His second daughter, actress Charlotte, was born to English singer and actress Jane Birkin; and his youngest son, Lucien (best known as Lulu), with his last partner, Bambou (Caroline von Paulus, who is related to Friedrich Paulus). Birkin states "Serge could only show love for his child if there was a camera there to record it. He was very shy." Birkin recollects the beginning of her affair with Gainsbourg , where he first took her to a nightclub, then to a transvestite club and afterwards to the Hilton, where he passed out in a drunken stupor. He confessed to Birkin that he had been scared of Bardot's breasts. Gainsbourg married Birkin when she was 19, he was 36. Birkin left Gainsbourg when pregnant with her third daughter Lou, by the film director Jacques Doillon, whom she later married.

Offday

Vandaag had ik een totale off-day. Pff. Saaie lessen niet normaal. Totale onverschilligheid van langs mijn kant wel ook een beetje. In slaap gevallen tijdens de 3e lesblok. Weer wakker geworden 7 pagina's later met een rode bol op mijn hoofd (omdat ik op mijn knokels gelegen had). Uit de les komen en al zien dat het al bijna donker is. Geen zin om nog te gaan lopen. Kutmuziek op radio. Eindelijk thuiskomen en zien dat er ALWEER een enveloppe van Adecco op mij ligt te wachten (ze zijn mij al maanden aan het stalken met brieven vr vakantiejob die ik deed). Zien dat er een rekening inzit met een bedrag dat ik moet terugstorten 'omdat ze teveel uitbetaald hebben' en als dit niet binnen de 10 dagen gebeurt 'ze juridische stappen gaan ondernemen'. PFF assholes. Niet zien aankomen en nu dus ook blutter dan blut verklaard. Man nog nooit zo blut geweest :s. Waar blijft mijn loon *ween ween*. Financiële crisis overal te voelen niewaar. I repeat: assholes! Allez mij er ffkes over gezet om aan mijn werk te beginnen. Vandaag blijf ik verder onverschillig doen en balen. Mijn lichtpuntje van de avond is nog expeditie robinson en het feit dat ik moet eten nu sie. Smakelijk! dada PFFFrrrt. Een gefrustreerde fille die nu -oef- uitgeraasd is.
ps: op de foto lach ik mooi maar nu niet hoor *storm* hihi
edit: achteraf aangepast...

Navy blue tights: Zeeman (in daylight they are bright :))

Fade away grey-black Scarf (from my sister): H&M

Saterday's outfit was all black again: my favourite colour as you know. Although it's quite a monotone outfit, i give it an extra touch with navy blue tights, bronze ballerinas, and a grey scarf. I also used different fabrics. In the evening I had greekish dinner with my dad @ Dimitri's. Just the 2 of us (cause mom & sister stayed away the whole day). It was a great evening, we should do this more often.
