Summer wishlist #1: White Shirt (+3 looks)

Font by Brittney Murphy - downloaded on dafont.com

The nr. 1 item on my wishlist for this summer is without any doubt a white shirt. I've already been looking for the perfect one since last year. Here's 5 of my favorites that are out there on the Internet. I already own a white shirt, but that one is very feminine and has a distinct fit, which doesn't allow me to combine it with too much.

A compact guide to refurbishing old furniture

There are two reasons I chose to make a guide on this topic; the first one is that I experienced myself that these things are not as easy as they seem. Although it seems very obvious you'd have to use steel sanding paper to get rust of steel, it would've never occured to me if no one had told me this. The second reason is that in this way I wont have to repeat the first steps over and over again in other DIY's (I'm thàt lazy). I'm also hoping that as my skils grow, this guide will become more extensive. So it's actually a work in progress.

Perking up the apartment

Last summer, my boyfriend and I moved into an (absolutely lovely) apartment. We decided to do a summer job and put some money aside for buying stuff for our new home. We already had the essentials because we both lived in a student room before, but now it was gonna be bigger an it had to feel like a real home.

Geometry Guidebook

One of the things I love this season is the geometrical trend, which is extra powerful when executed in blacks and whites (or cream like textures, as I prefer). It's definateley a good idea to draw inspiration from Sol LeWitt's works, the unofficial master of lines and stripes . I prefer the combination of geometrical shapes (lines, stripes, grids, triangles,... you name it) with a collage like-feel; twisting patterns, different  materials, contrasts... etc etc, a bit similar to what Giedion Kiefer accomplishes in his drawings.
