Forever21 / Antwerp

I was at the Forever21 shop preview for press on Monday evening and it was a pretty sight indeed. Five thousand square meters of spot on trend (sure sometimes a bit too literal) affordable clothes. It definitely had something to offer for everyone. More so it was actually pretty fun having this enormous shop to ourself for a couple of hours. I had the enormous pleasure of doing a double interview with the people behind this huge project of bringing Forever21 to Europe and the blogger behind The Skinny (Forever21's official blog). It was a great afternoon and I will to a recap of yesterday, hopefully tomorrow.

Also, DON'T FORGET that tomorrow 3 September is the grand opening of the new Forever21 store in Antwerp. The first 500 will get a gift, there will be 10% off vouchers and dress to impress because Caroline from CarolinesMode and Stockholm Street Style is here in Antwerp for this unique occasion!

So after 5 years of moving all over the place I have accumulated more clothes than I care to admit, so it is about time i slowly start finding new homes for the clothes I never got around to wear, that have too many duplicates, that have been worn once and deep down know that I will never wear again and really just anything that has been locked away for too long. Everything I am selling has either been worn once (or twice) or never at all. During the next couple of days I thought I would show you what I am getting rid off before selling them on Ebay and/or Vestiaire de copines. I will be in Brussels throughout the whole weekend thus if you are interested in anything please do let me know before sunday evening as after that I am going on holiday for three weeks. All payments are done via PAYPAL (thefashioncloud@gmail.com). Don't hesitate to email me if you want more pictures or any further information. IT ALL NEEDS TO GO :)

Where to get.it

One Saturday afternoon last month in Paris the blogger  Slanelle came around to catch up and bit and to do a small video for the website Where to get it. If you haven't heard of the site yet, there is no time like the present to discover it. It's a community based platform where you can share pictures of items or outfit that you really like and would like to re-create of find the same items. The active members of Where to get it will help you do just that by browsing the online shops or simple by using their extensive fashion knowledge. This can be done from Twitter with the hashtag  #W2G, or via their Facebook page ... This is the new modern way of asking someone one the street "where did you get that from?". (to watch the video simply click on either of the two pictures above).

I am thinking of the next trend post, do you have any suggestions or any trend you would like to see?

I went to the press store opening of Forever 21 in Antwerp last night. I have to say that the store was much bigger than I had anticipated but there is definitely something for everyone, and at extremely reasonable prices. I will show you tomorrow what i got and a few pics from the event. It was especially great to meet up with some fellow dutch bloggers whom I have been speaking too for the last year or so.
