June 2012 Top Finds @ Fashiolista

Dear readers,

Which items are the top 3 finds this June? Let's have a look!



Fluorescent pink sheer blouse (topshop.com)

Crisp white tunic by Rag & Bone (lagarconne.com)

Panter printed skirt (riverisland.com

Which of these three items is your favourite? I would have to vote for the Rag & Bone's tunic. I love high quality basics and this tunic is just what I mean by that! Crispy white, easy looking AND combinable and a nice and feminine design!

Love, Melissa

Elegant flowers!

Dear readers,

Lately I haven't posted as much outfit creations as I used to, so I will make it up to you! Some days ago I already posted my shopping outfit and today I chose to create an outfit which is a bit more daring. I hope you like it!






Totally different, huh? I find this outfit so elegant, what about you?

Ombre nails!

Dear readers,

A new nail polish trend is up and coming: the OMBRE nails! And guess what...I AM LOVING IT!!! Wanna have a look at what ombre nails are and how you can do it yourself? Then have a look at this instructional video:

I am really going to try this out! How about you? Let me know how it worked out for you!

Flip flops!

Dear readers,

Since summer is still not happening, I thought it would be fun to list some nice flip flops, so I will be prepared just in case summer decides to show up after all! Flip flops is actually not the correct word for the shoes listed below, these are all actually sandals, but I wear them as though they were flip flops...still with me here?! ;)

Which of these are your favourite?

My favourite is number 2! I think the bow makes them really cute and I also love the colour...VERY trendy at the moment!

Crochet sandals

Dear readers,

I fell in love with these shoes as soon as I saw them...that is why I decided to actually buy them :) They are from Vanessa Bruno!

Do you like them? I love the mustard colour and the crochet details! Aside from that, I think they are very comfy, but we'll have to wait for that confirmation, because they are still somewhere in the shipping process. I ordered them on Theoutnet.com, but unfortunately for those who want to buy them there, these were actually the very last pair! Maybe you can find them elsewhere! :) Good luck on that!

Love, Melissa

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Dear readers,

I love this inspirational Youtube film! Its about perseverance, faith in yourself and knowing that ANYTHING is possible if you set your mind to it! Have a look and let it inspire you!

After seeing this I know I have to be persistent in doing some physical exercise myself if I want to lose some pounds! This means doing at least a 15 minute workout EVERY day and to not make any excuses like "Hmmm whatever, I will do it tomorrow!" Those thoughts are NOT in alignment with what I want and are real promise breakers to myself...I won't let it happen again, not this time!

What can you do TODAY that will break the old and "comfortable" pattern you are in right now but which is NOT in alignment with where you want to be?!

Love, Melissa

Shopping outfit!

Dear readers,

When I go shopping I like to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Nothing more frustrating than getting sore feet while you still have so many shops to go :) I also love to wear clothes that are easy getting out of and getting into, it makes shopping a whole lot easier and thus more fun! That's why for today's post I thought it would be nice to create an outfit which I would wear while going out shopping. It is simple, laid back, but as always...STYLISH!






What do you think of my shopping outfit? Is it something you too could wear? Would love to hear!

Love, Melissa

Kiss my ass!

Dear readers,

This add made me say: "TRUE"!

Getting older is making me more confident and a lot less concerned about what other people might think. Do you recognize this in your life too?

Love, Melissa

Swimwear and bling bling!

Dear readers,

Doutzen Kroes rocks the June issue of Vogue China in an over-the-top swimwear editorial! She is not only wearing top notch swimwear designs, but also some heavy jewellery! Look at these shots in which the Dutch pride is wearing swimwear from Missoni, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Jason Wu.

Isn't this editorial just beautiful? I especially love the shots in which Doutzen Kroes is wearing white swimwear! Which pic is your favourite?

Love, Melissa

Falling models!

Dear readers,

Just laughed my fucking ass off...this video compilation is just TOO hilarious!!! I knew I had to share it, I am sure it will put a smile on your face today :)

ENJOY!!!

Love, Melissa

Suavemente!

Dear readers,

When my friends and I were in Rome there was this one song that was being played literally EVERYWHERE and I have been hooked to it ever since! It's actually a new version of the original "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo which I normally don't like, but this time it worked quite well actually! Hope you like it as much as I do :)

Enjoy!

Love, Melissa

Vogue @ the beach!

Dear readers,

French Vogue did a beach editorial for the issue of this June featuring model Magdalena Franckowiak and I just had to share this colourful shoot with my dear readers, knowing that it will be inspirational for you too. Have a look for yourself!

Don't you just love the hippie theme infused with a beach vibe?

Love, Melissa

Festival outfit!

Dear readers,

It's festival season and therefore I wanted to present you with a festival outfit that would totally do it for me! I hope you like it!





What do you think of this outfit? Is it something you yourself would wear? I think it's a simple, comfortable yet stylish outfit totally suitable for a festival!

Love, Melissa

Nicky Minaj!

Dear readers,

Nicky Minaj is quite the figure, isn't she?! I love her voice and think she is very talented, but her style is really too much for me! What do you think of her style? If you don't really know what kind of fashion she digs, here some shots!

Now what do you say? :) The only thing I can think about when I look at her is a vibrant candy store mixed with a Japanese fling haha!

It's better to focus on her songs I think ;)

Love, Melissa

Beach Fantastique!

Dear readers,

I am loving the editorial of Elle Mexico this month. I can definitely feel the vacation vibes going up and down my body while looking at the pictures. Model Bekah Jenkins is shot by the amazing photographer Arnalda Anaya-Lucca in ready-to-wear creations of Versace, Giorgio Armani, Chanel and Miu Miu. Have a look at the shots for yourself!

What do you think of this editorial? And which pic is your favourite? Mine is pic number 4!

Love, Melissa
