My friday Night outfit....in Amsterdam

Padma dress by Cocoorico
Tpuch of gold earrings by Fleurfatale
Ms Essential bag by Iragrant
Oriental chic vegan slippers by thegeneration

One of my most favorite kitchens is Japanese (sushi, yakitori, miso soup, soba noodles, and sashimi on top!).

Back in my twenties I was a loyal follower of Makrobiotic, at that time I learned a lot about Japanse kitchen and ingredients.

To find good and not to exclusive ( or say expensive) Japanese restaurants in Belgium we have to go to Antwerp (which is definitely not in our backyard). :(

So you bet we were very happy to find a yummie and affordable Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam (where we are right now!)

And that is why I made a Japanese inspired Friday Night Outfit... (back in my hotel room)

don't know why, but to me the outfit has a Japanese touch! (maybe the slippers do it?)

See you soon with more love from Amsterdam :-)

Wear it as you like!

Thanks a lot for your cooperation (in the previous post).
I decided to finish this one with an adjustable silk ribbon. So one day you can wear it longer, the other day as a choker, fitting your oufit!!
All beads are handmade by me! the wool is ecologic and te silk is repurposed (from a shawl). Te silver beads are from Ethiopean origin.
This textile necklace is very comfy and super lightweight, perfect for spring and summer. It's in my shop right now!

long or short?

Lately I have been working on new fruity textile necklaces (part of them are custom orders)
I am always doubting about the lenght, that is why I often chose for making adjustable necklaces.
I thought it was fun to do a little survey about this. Just because :-)

It does not happen much, but if it happens that I win a giveaway, it makes me jump in the air !
This time I won the give-away of my dear EST friend from Finland Karuski. I chose a beautiful pair of vintage earstuds, from her shop.
They arrived last week, so wonderfully packed! Minna also spoiled me with a beautiful card, a matching hairpin and a sweet Birdie Key chain!!
Thanks so much Minna, it's always a treat to recieve your packages!
