C&AWESOME

Finally home and ready to post. I am absolutely knackered, but my daytrip to Düsseldorf was GREAT!! Let me take you through my adventure, one picture at a time.


I had to get up at quarter to six, but due to the nerves I ALWAYS get when having to get up early I woke up an HOUR before my alarm went off, after a night of crappy sleeping. I wasn't exactly radiating sunshine in the wee hours!
Excuse my face.


After being picked up by Tiany, we enjoyed our morning ride to Vilvoorde where we had some orange juice before catching the V.I.P. bus to Düsseldorf! We got there just in time, after guiding Immi and Patricia to the meeting point. Kim and I were a bit freaked out about getting sick on the bus since we are both transportation pussies, but we didn't even get a tiny bit sick. AWESOMEST BUS EVER!!


Immi reading team building fortune cookies saying things like "you have a knack for brainstorming, help your colleagues!". Seriously disappointing.


Immi, Patricia, Tiany and Kim looking lovely in the morning light.


V.I.P. BABY!!! Told you guys this was the awesomest bus ever. We got served breakfast with fresh buns and croissants. LOVE

Tiany with her awesome tortoise glasses on the right.


Fancy footwork on the bus


On the road to GERMANY BABY (I'm saying BABY way too often, right? I was just EXCITED BABY)


More fancy footwork. We ALL wanted a slice of those shiny shoes Tiany brought along.


Kim chillin' like it ain't nobody's business. Btw sorry for the blurry pics, the bus was shaky!


After a 3 hour drive that was made increasingly tiresome by the horrible compilation of shitty 90s music brought to us in the bus, we finally arrived @ the venue!! Don't you just love my original poses


FRONT ROW SEATS for us Belmodo invitees! ZOMG I could hardly believe it! Seriously! FRONT EFFING ROW!!!!!!!!hgzogirphizpzrighzprgz
Only way this could be better? "The Styling Dutchman" on that sign :-D


Immi being professional and blogging his ass off?


NOPE JUST DROOLING OVER ZACQUISHA


ME AND KIM goofin around @ FRONT ROW BABY (there I go again)


Seriously, The Styling Dutchman @ C&A!!


Show started with a very cool look at C&A through history. I would love to see C&A bring out this lovely number again!


NOW FOR THE FASHION SHOW!!!


Check out that hot guy on the left, the male models were all SMOKIN'


midi lengths, elbow length gloves and a sequin top? YES PLEASE


This dress!!!! I'm sure the crowd let out a collective gasp when this one walked out on the runway. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. BABY (haha this is totally becoming my thang)

And now for my favorite part of the show


Sixties, Blair Waldorf, schoolgirl, bright red tights and BLACK AND WHITE LOAFERS?? Count me in yes please BABY


Absolutely in love with that silhouette on the girl with the red kneesocks, and the one on her friend on the left. Kitten heels and ankle baring trousers oh yeah!

Afterwards, fun in the sample room, taking a closer look at some of the pieces!


God that dress will haunt my dreams



and so will these loafers, in every color they sell them in!


Kim fell in love with this skirt, the texture was almost like feathers.




on the busride back we kicked of our shoes to wiggle our brightly painted toesies, and ate some more croissants!


 and took a nap






And a final clear picture of my outfit. I was waiting at the station for my boyfriend to pick me up, he was actually JUST pulling up when this picture was taken. I kept my composure. I'm chilling on the sofa right now, going over all the awesome things that went on today. THANK YOU to Tiany and all the awesome people we met today, today was a dream! Fashion shows are awesome, so much more awesome in real life than on television. Hope these pictures give you guys an inkling of how fun my day was! Fun, and very tiring. I'm going to bed now, I need some sleep.


Also, thanks to all my readers for helping my blog become what it is today, and helping me get all these awesome opportunities! I couldn't do it without you guys :)

  4. What an awesome opportunity, I've never been to a real fashion show before. I'm envious of that VIP bus and those croissants look yummy.

    Funny I have the same H & M dress (bought secondhand at Buffalo Exchange) but it has spaghetti straps rather than the halter tie. I prefer the halter look of yours!

  6. Omigod, this looks like the adventure of a lifetime! The breakfast! The cool people! The clothes! The hot male models! The bus with the crappy '90s music ('90s music is my life, no matter how grungy/cliche.)
    Awesome....BABY!

  10. I'm so jealous! I used to live in Stuttgart and would give a body part to get back there... Le sigh. Who is/are C&A? And where can I locate the gold-sequined-drop-dead-gorgeous-I-really-want-to-have-it gown and the way awesome "feather" skirt? Danke!
