Two jackets rocking and rolling

Last week I went to H&M, just to see if there were some worthwhile clothes. And of course there where many clothes which could fit this description. I bought two jackets and a waistcoat/gilet. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to buy the waistcoat in the wrong size. I had two of them in my clothing room, and I bought the wrong one.. I went back the next day, but the waistcoats where sold out. Pity! But I've got two new jackets, for only E19,90 (I had E20 discount!).

Photos will follow later this week.

Paper Plane

Inspired by M.I.A.'s Song (M.I.A.- Paper Planes) I bought a nice little necklace at ebay. It's a silver coloured necklace with a paper-plane-pendant (PPP), also silver coloured. Paper Planes is a great song, which is also the Soundtrack-song from Slumdog Millionaire which I have seen last week.

I will always love Percy

Since the day I get to know him, I have been totally in love with the designs Percy Irausquin made. When I heard he died, I was totally in shock. I think I even cried for a moment: he should have designed my wedding dress!

Long story, short version: Irausquin was a dutch designer, born in Aruba (Oranjestad, June 26, 1969). He graduaded from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam) -my younger sister actually studies at GRA at this moment-. After he graduaded, he went to Paris to work for Christian Lacroix. He also worked for Givenchy and Dior. He died in his bathroom August 14, 2008 because he had a stroke. Really to young to die..

I always will have a thing for Percy.. I don't know what it is. I have seen a lot of pictures where he was wearing a necklace with a scissor pendant, which was a symbol for his work as a fashion designer. I really loved this kind of sign and I have been searching for a necklace like that for a long time. I actually bought one myself about 10 days ago at ebay. This love will never end.
