3 Weekend Worthy things To Do {for your Home}
1) Getting Spring Ready
One thing I always do when I see editorials I really like is to look up the stylists, interior stylists and photographers online, most stylists have blogs, websites and/or online portfolio's where you can see more of what you loved about them in the first place! Paulina Arcklin is one of those Stylists I really like! I love to see her behind the scenes photos and love her eye for detail!
So to get to the point: Getting Spring ready by adding Green! Plants, flowers and green interior details! Plus add some Spring texture in Fabrics by using cotton and Linen!
Most fun to do, by far, is a Seasonal make-over by painting old furniture, wooden crates and frames! and totally a Spring thing to do because you want the weather to allow you to open the windows to get rid of the smell! If not, there are always Easter Eggs that will need some color too of course!
btw. How delicious do these Paint-Tins look as color accent? And I bet we can give them a little job on their own like storing Pencils in them!
The best thing ever!
Take one object (like a vintage suitcase) and use it as something else: bedside table, pet-bed, chair, storage for books, flower pot (why not?) or you can start packing for a weekend get-a-way of course :)It's totally perfect for the weekend because here it's actually important that you don't think rational!
the suitcase is of course just an example but what about an upside-down clothing hanger for your jewelry or this DIY bedside table? Or go totally cute with a diy tea-cup candle!
3) Storage? Why? Books, Magazines and Shoes
Why bother storaging magazines, books and shoes, there is no space left anyway and they actually look good when placed right! Plus you don't have to buy new books, magazines and shoes while still getting that same exiting feeling when they are re-organized and placed nicely on a shelf!

Getting Curve-ID'd!
Yesterday I went to Amsterdam to attend Levi's Fitting event together with Yara and Cindy!
We got measured for our perfect Levi's Curve ID and tried a pair of jeans that fitted perfectly! The concept of the Levi's Curve ID is that it focuses on your body shape instead of your size and you can get measured for a Slight, Demi or Bold curve in any of their stores!(and even do a little online test!)
I got measured a Slight Curve and fell in love with the ankle skinny in coral! Perfect for Spring!

OUTFIT: White embroidered flowers and Dr Martens
I always love wearing romantic, sweet items with Biker jackets and boots, and this Zara top is just a perfect match when it comes to that! I actually went back to the Zara the other day to buy the same top in a pastel pink color! The lime green heels I loved so much where nowhere to be found but I noticed a leather biker jacket that looked really good! I do love the jacket that I'm wearing right now but uhm come on, it are sequins and I don't want to wear sequins everyday haha!

SOUL SUNDAY
What's up! Welcome to Soul Sundays. Today's selection is "The Brothers of Soul" with their hit songs like " I Guess that don't make me a loser", " Candy", "One minute Baby", "Can't get you off of my mind"& "You better Belive it".... "Brothers of Soul" were an R&B vocal group from Detroit, Michigan singers Fred Bridges, Richard Knight, and Robert Eaton Knight, who possessed a sweet, smooth voice and Bridges, who had a rougher voice, tended to share the leads equally, and the group became known for their sweet vocal harmonies and romantic sound. The trio was originally a writing and producing act working with a Detroit label. In 1967, during the riots in Detroit, the group felt they were writing a hit, Dream. They showed it off to Ricardo Williams who was impressed by Bridges. Williams opened up a label for the group. Bridges knew they needed a new name, which they came up with "Brothers of Soul". The peak years for the group was from 1968 to 1969. The group was able to put more than 40 songs on disc. Chicago producer Ric Williams came to Detroit looking for songwriting talent for his recordings. "The Brothers Of Soul" first recorded on their own in 1967 as "The Creations", but after changing their name the following year, they made their first impact with the Bridges-led ‘Hurry Don’t Linger’ on Williams’ Boo label. It was followed by their only national hit, the Knight-led ‘I Guess That Don’t Make Me A Loser’ (number 32 R&B), which reached the charts in the spring of 1968. They had their second successful single with the Bridges ‘You Better Believe It’ in 1970. Subsequent releases failed to find an audience and the group made their final records in 1971. "The Brothers Of Soul " continued together for several more years, working as one of Detroit’s most in-demand vocal session groups. By 1980, Bridges decided to leave "The Brothers of Soul" and become the road manager of the "Four Tops". Due to financial circumstance some groups like the "Brothers of Soul" never continued, Blew up or made it to the top. Very sad because they had many hits that still sound good today & will always be on my playlist. Thanks for "Tooning" in!
