WEEK+END

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Hoewel we vandaag maandag zijn, kan ik het niet laten deze woordspeling te maken: "Thank God it's Friday Week+end!". Week+end is het pas opgestarte juwelenmerk van Kim Van Vlasselaer - mama van Gust en tevens een vriendin van mij. Na een diploma Rechten behaald te hebben en een korte carrière in de kledingverkoop (waar we elkaar hebben leren kennen), vond Kim dat het tijd was voor iets anders: het opstarten van haar eigen juwelenmerk. Ze had er mij 3 jaar geleden al iets over gezegd, maar een baby en een verloving later is het dan eindelijk zover... Vanaf nu heeft ze alle dagen Week+end! Yours truly maakt hier trouwens niet gewoon wat vriendschappelijke reclame, ik ben zowaar deel van het project: de foto's zijn mijn verantwoordelijkheid. Wat trouwens geen gemakkelijk klusje was, zoals ik in eerste instantie dacht! Kims juwelen zijn gemaakt uit Fimoklei en zilver en bestaan uit verschillende 'onderdelen' die je onderling kan combineren. Zo heb je 3 verschillende vormen oorbelletjes (round, triangle en square) die je kan combineren met een gewone sluiting of een sluiting met bedeltje. Dat bedeltje komt dan 'van achter' je oor, wat het juweel net dat tikkeltje specialer maakt. De kettingen zijn zijn ook 'flexibel': een kleurtje aan de ene kant en streepjes aan de andere kant van de hanger. Basic juwelen met een apart kantje - helemaal mijn ding! Well done, Kim.

A bracelet from Copenhagen


My parents went to Copenhagen last week and they bought me a present! They really know my taste cause this bracelet is just perfect... It's made out of reindier leather, combined with a silver thread and the button to close the bracelet is made out of reindier antlers. I like subtle but original jewellery (no H&M for me) so this one's totally ma thing. I've collected quite a collection actually; mostly bought in special, alternative shops or on markets abroad. Shall I do a post about that soon? And oh, the bracelet's from Be Christensen, take a look at the 'Samer' collection here.

BTW - Sorry for the regular absence. I've had a busy and abnormal internship because I had to teach 18 children for a week on my own. The teacher of 'my class' couldn't come because her son had a major accident. But, all went good, both for her (son) and me.

Welcome home...

I forgot to tell you that, after seeing the post about Paper & Chain on my blog, my mum ordered me (and herself) some jewellery - because she liked it so much! It was supposed to be a surprise, but I accidently found out by asking when we would order some jewellery from Paper & Chain, so she couldn't hide she already did.

But, I did had my surprise: when I woke up yesterday and found out that there were TWO packages waiting for me on the kitchen table. I now know why people shop online (and why there's so much fuzz about it): when you receive a package, it's like your birthday (altough you pay it yourself)! Luckily for me, I didn't have to pay for any of these two packages... My mum bought the jewellery (which wasn't so expensive, we'll soon order again!) and I won the second package: the Urbanears from Afrodite's giveaway! I'm in love with my two presents... the necklace is so extremely beautiful and the headphones from Urbanears are from an extremely good quality! To say it a bit cheesy: they give music another dimension.

Paper & Chain


Let me introduce you to Paper & Chain. Jewellery with 3 keywords: simple, elegant and affordable. The girls behind these beautiful pieces are Ismay and Naomi. 2 beautiful British girls with sense of style, that is. What I like about their jewellery? The price tag, of course. But more important: the design, the simplicity (but at the same time: the special details), 'the-every-day-wear'-factor and the fact that you can wear it, but also your mum - it's just timeless! I thinks these jewellery can give just thàt little extra to an outfit. I can already imagine myself wearing it... Btw: the shippingcosts to Belgium are £3.50 - not so much, huh? And to give another hint (my whole blog exists about hints): wouldn't this be a perfect gift for Valentine?
