HEAT UP THE STYLE: From Turn Ups to Turn On(s)!


As a woman I have to admit that some styles are such a turn on. Turn ups are one of them. They are sophisticated metropolitan styles.
Plus; perfect to show off the shoes! Flashing ankle peps up a boring shirt/jumper/T-shirt/hoodie without that much effort.
It’s not just me! 'Revealing the ankle can be sexy,' said a good-humoured Giorgio Armani after a runway show.

Prada Ready to Wear AW 2013 at Milan

And according to the article published on the Guardian; designers in Milan and London are also backing the short trouser look, from Alexander McQueen (worn with pinstripe socks and brogue-slippers), to Prada (no socks), Kenzo (worn with ski-boots) to Tom Ford (worn with socks and formal shoes). 

We all saw this trend last year on runways. Now it's time to act on it! :)


Here are some turned up style that can inspire you!

Sunday Style @ Country Club

I was dreaming about a lazy Sunday at home but somehow I found my self in a horse jumping show at a Country Club at 9 am.
To be honest it was fun and full of adrenalin. 
While I was watching the show I was also watching the people around too. The audiences were  stylish as much as the riders. In a casual way... 


There are many colourful styles as you can see in the photos but white t-shirt and bermudas were the stars of the day. In addition white is used with colourful outfits. White t-shirt with mustard coloured bermuda or white trousers with green polo t-shirts. Colourful shoes are the ones that I liked most.






Appereantly ATVs are quite popular in country side. 

Enjoy the ride. :)



Rider in white, horse in blue :)

An Emerging Designer: Andy Imbrechts – from illustration to runways


Andy Imbrechts, 26 years old, an emerging designer who lives in Belgium.
Meet 26 years old Andy Imbrechts, an emerging designer who lives in Leuven, Belgium. He has studied the history of fashion, styling later on in Antwerp and then fashion design at Sask. He learned sewing from his mom at a young age. So I guess it was something that has always been in him. “I always felt the need to do something with it” says the designer.
Becoming a designer was something that he had never had to decide. “It sort of grew on me” says Imbrechts. He states that he has always been interested in art and beauty. One of his favorite artists is Andy Warhol. He has also studied art in high school.

His passion is illustration. Drawing has always been a big passion of the designer from a very young age and he puts his passion in his collections as you can see; the bright colours and prints. He uses his own childhood drawings as starting point for the collection but translates in prints.

As I see he likes feminine look on men. According to the designer his collections are for androgynous men, who are not afraid to dare and want to be noticed: long printed shirts, sandals, over-sized jackets and skinny pants are the central theme of this collection. “Imbrechts’ men wear the art” says Andy.

The man he sees in his collections is a dandy gentleman who loves colour and who loves to dress up and likes to get crazy with it.
He says that he is inspired by the people around him. It can be his friends or just people he sees on the street. The dandy and the man in suit are also a big inspiration. He is a big fan of Dries Van Noten when it comes to designers.

His collections made me remember the 80′s/90′s mood. For 2014, he says that he would love to see more suits, more colour, and more prints.


Personally I found them cheerful and fun.
