The first weekend of this year, I visited Utrecht with my mom. I already did a post with pictures of the awesome things we've seen on our city walk. Our destination that day was Centraal Museum, one of their current exhibitions is named 'Monsters in Fashion'. Some of the monsters were actually creeping me out a bit, outfits made of leather, or pvc, some of them with scary looking masks. There were even two with the heads of the mannequins growing in dollhouses, that reminded me of the first season of American Horror Story. I was able to sleep at night though because some of the creations were colourful and were monsters of a more friendly kind. Mom also posted about our museum visit over here, I 'stole' the fifth photo from her blog.

The one with the things I liked this week (part 49)

Temperatures are dropping, so a hot cocoa was in order. This week I received an order from Etsy shop Atéa Lane I've ordered packaging supplies from this shop a couple of times now, and Kay Elisabeth always adds some paper goodies to my order. My friend Mandy went on a shopping spree a while ago and got me some nice extra warm socks. Hooray for Mandy, and warm socks. Gift wise it was a very good week, because I also got a new cookbook.

A cooking experiment took place last weekend, not from the new book, but a recipe I pinned a while ago. Contrary to most pinned recipes, this one actually got cooked. I really had intentions to cook healthier in the new year. But when Jamie Oliver tells you to eat pasta with cream, mascarpone and parmesan cheese, you listen. At least I do.

Also, Zara started it's sale after Christmas, and it came to mind that the last addition to my wardrobe was on a day when I was able to sit outside in the sun. For at least 3 months I have been spending most of my spare time together with a blanket and hot water bottle on my couch, so I thought a little something for my closet was allowed.

The one with the eye bracelet DIY

One of the things I've been loving for I while now, is the 'Kenzo eye'. This tutorial is inspired by this super awesome print. Another thing I love, is a DIY-project that doesn't need a lot of supplies, tools, or time. For this one, the only thing I needed to get, were beads, the rest was already within reach. This bracelet doesn't take much time to make, you just need a bit of time let the nailpolish dry.

The inspiration:

What you'll need:

elastic cord
blue nailpolish
black nailpolish
beads, I used white wooden beads, and one in a contrasting colour
a bit of glue

Start by making a blue circle on each of the white beads, let them dry

Make a small black circle in the middle of the blue circle

Start beading away! After the last 'eye' make a knot with the two ends.

Secure with a drop of glue. Cover the knot up with one of the beads.

Looking for another DIY project?

The one with the fancy pants DIY

One of my favourite websites is Jak & Jil, and that's where the inspiration for this easy DIY projects comes from. I often wear rolled up trousers (I am not that tall). I loved the idea of giving my old jeans a bit of va-va-voom. I got the trimming from Atelier Luna, thanks Eefje!

What you'll need:

trimming
scissors
clear nailpolish
hobby glue, I used E6000
a pair of jeans

the inspiration

Cut the trimming the right size so it fits the back part of the trouser leg.

Keep it from running with the help of clear nailpolish.

turn your trousers inside out and apply the trimming with glue

Let the glue dry

And they're ready to wear!

The one with five for fall + wanderlust

I tried to ignore it, but fall has started. Soup has been made and my hot water bottle has been used. I don't mind the soup part, but if there was a way to skip fall and winter, I would. I love wearing shorts, flipflops and leaving the house without having to wear a scarf, gloves and something to keep my ears from freezing off. I admit, there are some cute outfits and accessories to be found for the colder months. These five items are from Etsy, and as a bonus, I've added a newly discovered song, that has been on repeat for the last couple of days. Have you discovered any new music lately?

The one with Mia from MossyJojo

Hello everyone, I'm Mia from MossyJojo blog and etsy shop in Australia. I'm super excited to do a guest post today on Always wear your invisible crown blog. I've been following Marieken's blog for quite some time now and I'm also huge fan of her shop. I'm especially in love with her handdrawn brooches. So today I want to show you my inspiration board. This is one of my faves: Marieken's sailor man brooch. Don't you think it is so adorable?
