A Crush for the Social Media

Social media is like oxygen nowadays – people just can't live without it. I’m a total social media junkie (like any other blogger), and through times I learned the art of managing several profiles.

On Facebook
Facebook is my #1 addiction. Since I’ve changed the name of my blog (and sadly lose all my liker's), I had to open a new facebook page for my blog. Now I’m more active than ever. I post a lot of blow-you-away pictures among other things. Just like us!

On Bloglovin’
Bloglovin’ is a highly used platform among bloggers/readers to follow their favorite blog. Since I’m not using GFC anymore, Bloglovin’ is the best way for you to keep up to date with all my posts. It’s like GFC, but more stylish.

On Twitter
Just like Facebook, I‘m constantly pouring my blogger heart on Twitter. I promise not to bore you.

On Tumblr
Tumblr is like my ultimate guilty pleasure. I usually spend my time there reblogging some gorgeous pictures, which I sometimes share on my fanpage. I’m always on the look for new Tumblr blogs, so feel free to share yours. Other very particular thing I do on Tumblr is write (a new passion of mine). Every time I feel inspired by life (mine or others), I write a little piece about it.

One of the piece I wrote:

Closure

What is it that makes it so hard for us being human being to accept that it’s time for closure Is it the uncertainty that we face aftwards? Or is the courage to close a chapter in the first place?

Having the courage to admit that it’s time to move on is not easy at all. It’s just that gut feeling inside of you saying that it’s time to let go, but on the on the other hand your feet just can’t walk away.

Sometimes it’s easier to not think about it, to just do it. Don’t wonder what the future will be, just step into it. It’s better to do something than never do anything at all and keep wondering what life would be. Do what your hearts tell you. Go with your feeling!

I’m not promising that things would get easier or better, but I think it’s worth the risk.

Blogger in the Spotlight: Hazal and Cana from Sisters and Sisters

Hazal

Cana

Meet Cana and Hazal from Sisters and Sisters. These two sisters from Amsterdam, delight all of their readers with their edgy style and the their vision of the world through their camera lens. Lets get to know them a little bit more.

Q: What did inspire you to start blogging?
Seeing other bloggers showing their closet and love for fashion. So we though why not and we gave it a try. Now this isn’t anymore a ‘try’.

Q: We all know that blogging can be a tough job. What is it that keeps you going?
Blogging is a tough job and it always will be. Especially when your blog keeps getting bigger and bigger. The success of SAS keeps us going. To see and read all the positive reaction of people is a mainly reason. Cause without them there, SAS would not be there.

Q: How would you describe your style?
Our style is mainly affordable, what you see in magazines is pretty but always too expensive. We want to show people that looking good should not be expensive. And if you can call it one style? No, it really depends on our mood of the day. One day you like to dress in black and the other day our look could be colorful too! It's more a minimized look.

Q: What kind of future do you hope to achieve? 
C: I would love to work as a stylist and hopefully I would succeed that.
H: I hope to see myself working as a PR consultant for a fashion and lifestyle company.

Q: Aside from blogging, what are your other passions?
We love to photograph and on SAS you see photos beside fashion of other things. We like to photograph the things other people don't see. We don't have a special hobby or a sport haha... Cooking and going to a movie is also a thing we do often with friends.

Q: Tell us you favorite quote.
Every artist was first an amateur. We don't need to describe that? haha

First Year Anniversary!

SHADES OF SEXY LITTLE THINGS IS NOW 1 YEAR OLD!!!!!

Oh yes, you heard that. My blog is now 1 year old. It seems like yesterday that I was sitting behind my laptop and out of nothing decided to open a blog.

It has been a rollercoaster ride ever since, but I enjoyed every moment. My blog made me learn a lot of things. From writing proper English (which I'm still learing btw), to know what my strenghts are as a person. It made me take drastic changes in my life, but it also gave my life a path. A path that I was very excited to embark, and still excited to e walking it right now.

Still, nothing of this was possible without the support I got from everyone who believed in me. To all readers, likers, and followers, thank you. You guys are the best. Thank you for all the kind comments, e-mail, awards, tweets etc.

THANK YOU!

Spring 2012, Fashion Trends

For winter's rains and ruins are over, 

And all the season of snows and sins; 

The days dividing lover and lover, 

The light that loses, the night that wins; 

And time remembered is grief forgotten, 

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, 

And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

-Atlanta in Calydon (1865)

Shades of a T.V. Style: The Lying Game Season 1

If you look at my previous posts (like this, and this, and this one too) you would probably know by now that I'm a sucker for T.V. series. What always catch my eyes in an episode are the outfits. Now imagine a series that has wonderful outfits in every episode – that is a series worth to be on the top of my list.

The Lying Game is a series about two twin sisters who trade places. Emma, who now takes the role of twin sister Sutton, always delight us in every episode with some amazing outfits. The key of getting this look are bright colors and appropriate accessories (with emphasis on accessories)

Here some pictures:
