BLACK BUTTERFLY DRESS FROM ILKA'S VINTAGE SHOP

I am wearing the dress I got from Ilka's vintage shop www.ilkavintage.nl for today’s shoot.  White smock dress with black details of butterflies. The length is short enough to wear as a top and long enough to wear as a dress. We found a few locations for our shoot. Afterwards we had a bit of lunch to refuel on energy for the  interview with Ilka. 

She is very happy in her shop, she has the shop for almost 3 years. Her shop is her second home; decorated with tear sheet of magazines showing off her creative side. In her shop you find details of dried roses, “A girl who like roses" showing a bit of her feminine side, a vintage red patent Chanel make-up bag, a gift from a client. Her shop is welcoming and open, she is friendly and warm, she makes you feel at home. 

She loves fashion but she is not a follower of fashion.

While sitting with Ilka many clients walked into her shop and they were buying customers. Hippee…Most of her clients are international.

We carried on talking about life, business, kids and so on. 

She is definitely a free spirit, I guess a bit like me. 

Check out Ilka Vintage Shop whenever you in The Hague whether you want to sell off your items or just add a new item to your wardrobe. 

Thank you Ilka for my lovely dress.

SUMMER CHIC

I am excited about today’s shoot, new location exploring backdrop colours of the Sahara dessert. I am wearing a dress I bought at Floyd's Woolshop boutique on the Prinsestraat 34 Den Haag.   Floyd’s collection improves yearly and I have been shopping there for years. Today I embrace my inner Goddess, wearing a Grecian style inspired dress.The beautiful silk feels secondary to my own. The shade of my hat protects my face against the sun and yes it's fun.I am wearing small gold plated chains on neck; on my wrist I am also wearing my own handmade semi-precious stones bracelets, which is part of my bijoux collection.Next week I take a closer look into Ilka’s vintage shop...I have seen some lovely pieces and I am now already excited about next week Friday's interview with Ilka.
