Summertime Ball

Sunday was spent at the 5 hour long summer time Ball wich was pretty amazing and I owe a huge thank you to Asos for gifting me this places, and not just any places amazing ones. The experience of being in Wembley stadium with 70.000 people and so many incredible artists is hard to put into words so here are some of the pictures I took, a couple of videos and some close up pictures taken from the people over at Capital FM.

Tweeting videos and pictures to my followers, had great fun tweeting with FTape and Nathalie from Asos.

Here is the mashup song Capital FM made with all the artists present at the Summertime Ball which I actually think is pretty representative of the day. Hope you enjoy it!

Music & Henry Holland

Tomorrow, I will be off to the Summertime Ball (in collaboration with Capital FM and Asos) at the wembley stadium in London. I have to thank Asos for gifting the very sought after (and long ago sold out) tickets to me. Seriously, what better way to end my four year stay in the UK than with a massive outdoor concert. I will tweet any interesting events and pictures, so if you are not already following me on twitter now if a good reason to. Lookout for Monday's very festive post with hopefully loads of pictures and videos. I am getting pretty excited for the line up; Dizee Rascal, Ellie Goulding, Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, Jason Darulo, Scouting for girls, the Wanted, Pixie Lott... just to name a few.

Because all of my clothes are by now boxed up and ready to be shipped back to Brussels I am going to have to get creative for my festive outfit. Any ideas or suggestions? What would you wear to a festival/concert?

Dressed up, dressed down

I have recently started to fully grasp the merits of day to night outfits. Travelling back and thought between cities one is forced to travel light. Thus finding outfits, such as this dress or jumpsuits seen in my previous posts, than can easily be taken from day to night are now key in my books. This dress was the perfect example of how a quick change of shoes and accessories allowed for this outfit to work both during the day and at night. The dress it is from the French duo behind Heimstone. I absolutely love the intricate detailing on the dress, and the fact that it offers something different on every angle.

FROM DAY...

...TO NIGHT.

Cropped fur & gold

As a child I never wore a coat, this was one of the ongoing battle between me and my parents. And this seems to have stuck with me over the years. I never liked wearing coats and the whole hassel of carrying them around and most of the time I simply couldn't find a coat that I felt worked well with my outfit. However, recently I have discovered, not only the joys of being warm (hum hum) but also how a simple statement coat/blazer jacket can really pull an outfit together. So as summer start, I find myself with a useless new obsession; coats and outerwear. As I have said time after time, trends are just not for me I can never seem to follow them in time.

Anyway I thought I would share with you two types of outerwear I am really loving right now, to change things up a bit as I have been obsession over trench coats for too long. I am really liking the whole cropped fur jacket which really does change an outfit from boring to exciting and I am loving the whole gold blazer look which for me it the perfect outerwear fro summer. It looks great worn as a casual day time look and is perfect to throw over any evening look. I actually have this gold blazer worn here and dressed down a while ago. Funnily I found it in a thrift shop and then all of a sudden it poped up in all the H&Ms.

What will your coverup for this summer be? Any particular outerwear you have your eyes on?
