The blog... on holiday!

Juuuust to let you know that The Dressing Party will be on holiday for a couple of weeks... This post is in no way intended to incite any kind of jealousy, purely informative I’m letting you know that I will be enjoying a trip to the (hopefully) sunny South-America. I’m planning on eating loads of steak, drinking loads of wine and getting loads of sunshine...again, purely informative.

It’s not just any trip, it’s a once in a lifetime trip. Well, I hope that at least since it’s my honeymoon. Since blogging during your honeymoon would surely have negative effects on the recently inaugurated marriage well...I will have a blogging stop.
Back in business sooooooonish!

Saturday's Catch

Here’s a situation that might sound familiar: you enter a shop with the intention to go to the sales rack, but unluckily enough you end up at the cashier with stuff from the ‘new collection’ rack. O well, it happens to all of us. So you better make sure, that if you buy new collection, you buy the right items. Now, we won’t go into the details of next summer trends just yet, but I’ll give you one tip: think pastels! Like this quite short by Mademoiselle Tara.

Golden Globes: The Afterparty

Oh, If only I could have been there…I would have been more than happy to exchange styling tips with Rosie Huntington, or to gossip with Michele Williams, or to exchange recipes with Charlize Theron. Or , you know, just simply drink a glass and watch the celebrities pass by...

Sunday Sleep in

Hello, I'm trying to sleep here

Saturday's Catch


Finally, some cold weather with a touch of sun. This type of weather reminds me of ski holidays. Unfortunately no skiing trip in the near future, but if I wear a ski jacket in this type of weather, I can almost imagine myself being in the alps. And yes, even in the alps, style is required. Cold is no excuse to look sloppy... this jacket by Toni Sailor provides the perfect combination of warmth  and elegancy. So, now all I need to do is book a ski trip, I’m thinking this coat would be very suitable for Aspen...

Interior Fascination

One of my many little projects for 2012 is finding a new house.

Not just any house. A house big enough to provide suitable accommodation for me, my clothes, my husband and our 12 future kids (in a future far far away). As a result my current fascination is interior design. Basically this means that, although I haven’t found a house yet, I know exactly how my future living room will like. I’d like to call it ‘anticipation’, my husband calls it ‘obsession’. Whatever.
So here’s a preview of my new house!

Hair Inspiration

A ponytail is great, but it’s just a ponytail. If you are looking for something a bit more exciting here’s some hair inspiration.

Oh sun, dear sun, wherefore art thou sun?

January is usually cold and depressing, and that's no different for January 2012 it appears!
Longing for a dash of sun accompanied by a gentle breeze...

Me time

A dull Sunday in January, that calls for some well deserved me-time, wouldn’t you agree? All you need is a warm bath, perhaps some music, candles, bath lotion and a great book.  Oh, and an excuse to get your hubby out of the house. With that last one I can’t help (although… might I suggest an outdoor activity with the boys, when he gets back he’ll be so tired you can extend your me-time to a maximum), but here are some suggestions for the other stuff.
