This is my life -week 30

This year we have a rather good summer in The Netherlands. We are enjoying the sun, even the ones who has to work like myself. The evenings are still warm, so we have still plenty of time to enjoy the warmth and the sun.

Though the fun we also have had a tough week because of the crashed plan MH17.

It has such a great impact in The Netherlands. The national day of mourning is world wide shown on tv.

17th of July # MH17  Malaysian airlines crashed in the Ukraine.

298 people are killed.

The nation cries.

Because of the national day of mourning in the Netherlands I will postpone my regular Wednesday post till tomorrow.

These are no cold bodies, these are people with their dreams and human feelings.

They were someones child, lover, friend, parent, neighbour, colleague.

They leave behind their loved ones who will grief the rest of their lives. Who will perhaps struggle even more missing them every single year that goes by.

May these people rest in peace, may we feel empathy for those who grief.

Shocked by the horrifying news of the Malysian airlines crash.

My new baggy jeans; LTB Marle X Jeans

Today I went shopping with my boyfriend for a new jeans. Because of my belly I need a regular waist jeans and trousers and definitely not a low waist, which I have now.

The shirt I got together with the June edition of the Vogue Netherlands.

I need a regular or high waist 

Cool with the new jeans ;-)

Event- Grazia Fashion Masterclass

Today I went to the Grazia Fashion Masterclass with a friend.

There were 2 workshops; one by Cara Schiffelers, Fashion Director Grazia and one by stylist and blogger Lonneke Nooteboom.

Cara Schiffeleres told us how it works at a magazine and Lonneke talked about her blog and what is important to do to get more followers.

They both had very nice presentations and there is enough room to ask questions.

Their enthousiasm was a good part of their presentations. They work in the fashion industry over more than a decade but they still feel the passion! Which is necessary.

The masterclass was very well organised and to me personally interesting. Especially the blog part. 

The message which both ladies have is : be yourself! 

A very important rule which we sometimes tend to forget. Just to fit in. But everyone is unique and has his own style and qualities. 

My friend and I know that we might not want work with fashion 24/7 like they do but we are still interested to work in fashion at our terms. 

Knowing what you don't want is also worth a lot ;-).

Myself I started to re-open 'Drive for style' again and I will start to blog more often about style and fashion. Hopefully I get the change in a few years to work in a fashion store as well. That I would like to do. To learn and to invest in a future in fashion. 

When we arrived we had been offered a very tasty drink; Scavi & Ray, Hugo. A minty version of Scavi & Ray. Very refreshing!

At the end we got 2 nice goodie bags!

After all it was a very nice experience. I hope Grazia will organize more events like this. I know they organised a bloggers event last year but unfortunately I wasn't able to go. Hopefully there will be a next one I can attend.

Wouldn't you like them to have? :-)

New start 'Drive for style'

Dear fashion lover,

At the beginning of this year I decided to quit with this blog because I have several ones and it is easier to just have one. But because I have decided to blog more about fashion and style I choose to open this blog again.

I like to have separate blogs about the subjects  I blog about.

So from now on Drive for style is on again!!

I will post blogs a few times a week. Sometimes I will write in Dutch, my native language ( the blog has a translator bar), and sometimes I will write in English.

I wish you a lot of fun reading the blog!
