Behind the Scenes

 photo cocorosa-frendsandinkkas-2_zps0fa87c25.jpg

Some behind the scenes snaps after a photo shoot in Amsterdam a while back where I changed back into my own daily outfit. I dressed for being on the go, my Inkkas sneakers, Frends headphones (for in the train) jeans and a comfi sweater. The jeans ended up being not the smartest item to wear to a photo shoot since they require the familiar skinny jeans struggle, pulling and wrestling to get out of them but they did make for some great laughs :)

Aqua Essentials

 photo cocorosa-leaterandmiista-6_zps2b146032.jpg

I think I will never get tired of pastel, black leather and miista combinations! Really high on my wishlist is a perfect moto jacket with a more boxy androgynous fit to offset the prettyness of the pastels like these from IRO, Marc Jacobs and 3.1 Phillip Lim because although I really love the studded biker I'm wearing I do think the fitted shape, soft leather and studs take away from the sleek trousers and blouse, so maybe saving up for a perfect leather basic might be worth it.

TOP 10 Fashion Blogger Networks

It's weekend and time for another Fashion Blogger Top 10! Today we look at the Fashion Blogger Networks, many of you will know Networks like Nowmanifest, Freshnet and Fellt hosting many of our favorite blogs but there are many many Networks with amazing blogs and some of them might still need some discovering. For many bloggers joining a Network means a steady paycheck, extra opportunities and a great way to gain a new following but that really differs per blog since experiences with joining these platforms really vary and we see a lot of blogs opting out after a significant grow. Nowmanifest really seems to be a bundling of influence and force while some other Platforms collect their portfolio on new and up-coming blogs, creativity or style. One thing is for sure, these powerful networks cater to the collective needs of these blogs as well to their readers with easy lay-outs, interfaces and of course a way to discover new blogs!
