Jackie Magazine 10 year anniversary party

 

Jackie O' sure knew how to throw a party! The same goes for Jackie magazine, a Dutch glossy dedicated to the famous style icon. In honour of their 10 year anniversary, the crème de la crème of the Dutch fashion scene was invited to a fabulous party at club "Chapter 21" in the centre of Amsterdam.

Unfortunately cover model Touriya Vaughan-Haoud was not there, but her absence was compensated by Carolien Spoor and Thomas Berge who revealed the latest cover, together with chief editor Suzanne Arbeid. Among the guests were -among others- actor Dirk Taat and Winonah de Jong (soccer wife and fashionista), both shown here. Congratulations & Thank you Jackie... I had a blast!

Grazia's Fashion Bloggers Masterclass

 

Today I was one of the lucky few who got invited to the Fashion Bloggers Masterclass organized by Grazia, the Dutch edition. It was truly a very inspiring afternoon! The introduction was given by Grazia's Editor-in-chief Hilmar Mulder. There were lectures filled with great advice by Anna from NSMBL.com, Sabrina from AfterDRK.com and by social media consultant Polle from Polledemaagt.com. Of course there were many (aspiring) fashion bloggers... so the dresscode turned out to be "molto fashion"... as the Italians say.

Firsts...

Today I could finally put one of my new Marni for H&M pieces on...
I love it!!! It arrived right on time for the SS12 presentation at fashion store Donna Tienda (a blog on this store will follow soon).

Another highlight of the day was the arrival of the very first issue of Dutch Vogue.... It's something I've been waiting for for years! The best Dutch designers, photographers, models and stylists are featured in it. Pure bliss! Check it out if you can.

Colour mania!

Spring/Summer '12 is all about colour! Coloured jeans, multicoloured dresses... even the covers of British Vogue and Vogue Living are more colourful than ever. It's so fresh, don't you think? I started the new season by stocking up on multicoloured accessories, like the necklace shown here. (And the lovely macarons of course... )

Last night The Best Dressed List 2011 was revealed by Jackie, the Dutch fashion magazine. What a great excuse to throw an unforgettable party at The College Hotel!

Hostess Nikkie Plessen looked absolutely stunning in Marc Jacobs, H&M and vintage Chanel. So did Jackie's editor-in-chief Eva Hoeke and fashion director Renu Kashyap, who both wore Jan Boelo.

Winner of The Best Dressed Award 2011 was actress and TV hostess Lieke van Lexmond, in vintage McQueen. She dedicated the award to her sister Jetteke, who is also her stylist.

Some famous Dutch ladies made it to the list: Princess Maxima, Doutzen Kroes, Lara Stone, former winner Sylvie van der Vaart as well as Hanna Verboom.

Writer Sophie van der Stap and blogger Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook also made the cut. The full list of winners will be featured in the september issue of Jackie.

The party was sponsored by Givenchy, who did the make-up for Nikkie Plessen, the whole Jackie Staff, the super cool waitresses and... me (I got lucky!!!)

Shorts, mini skirts and mini dresses ruled the evening! After seeing all those amazing looking women and especially all their amazing legs.... I think I'm going to hit the gym a little more often...

It was a true pleasure to see that glamour does exist in The Netherlands; there were so many welldressed guests at the party, I will dedicate another article to them.

Thanks Jackie, Eva, Annemijn, Renu and all the other Jackie ladies for a wonderful evening!
