Self input

It's been a looong time since my last blogpost, but I miss the blogging. I have been so very busy with school, I study Fashion&Design and that takes all my time and enery. But in the meanwhile nothing has changed with my love for walk-in closets and interior. Lately I've been looking for small decoration ideas and I found these ones that I really like to use in my room.

Keep it hanging

Room impression

Like I wrote earlier I moved out of my mother's house to live closer to my school.
I really had to get used to living alone, doing groceries, cleaning and doing laundry, but it all goes pretty good now. School is starting tomorrow and I finally furnished and decorated my new room. It's very different then my room in my mother's house. This new room is smaller, so I wanted to keep the main colors light and decorate the furniture with pastel colors.

Beautiful photo's

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I've posted something but I've been very busy. I had to work a lot lately and I moved closer to Amsterdam because it's easier for me to go to school everyday. Speaking of school, I can't wait to start fashion school in a few weeks.

Lots of love

P.S. I included some photo's I like.

The birth of a Chanel 2.55

The Chanel 2.55 is named after the actual launch date; February 1955. All the features on the bag were inspired by Coco Chanel's past, life and needs.

The brown color lining's represents the color from the convent, at the
orphanage where she grew up.

Rumoured is that Coco Chanel hid here love letters in the inside compartment
at the inside front flap of the bag.

Coco used the back outside flap for the storage of money

Coco thought that the modern women needed to have their hands free while attending social functions and came up with the chain shoulder strap. The inspiration for the strap chains on the bag came from the caretakers at the convert where she grew up. The caretakers hold the keys at their waist dangling from the same type of chains as the 2.55 shoulder strap chains.

The original 2.55 came with a front lock called ''the Mademoiselle Lock'', because Coco never got married. Since 1980 the bag was made with a lock in the shape of the double CC logo that is called ''the Classic Flaps''.

The quilted diamond or herringbone pattern is created by using a running stich that gives the bag shape and volume. The pattern is said to be inspired by several sources; the stained-glass windows of the abbey at Aubazine, by jockeys’ riding coats, as well as by the cushions in Coco's Paris apartment.

On one 2.55 bag 6 to 15 people work up to 18 hours (depending on the material) to make the bag.
