Outfit: Sporty in Black

I have packed my bags to go to the Rock Werchter festival, but I couldn't leave without showing you what I was wearing Saturday when I was out running errands: sporty in black. I love these wedge sneakers, so I wear them every chance I get. Also these old leather leggings, which are ripped on both knees (and yes...that happened cause they are so old) throw on an oversized sporty top and your good to go.

The next few days I'll be sleeping in a tent, wearing easy outfits, enjoying the music. The weather should be good, the line-up even better. I'll show you my adventures when I get back!

Have a good weekend!

I'm wearing:
Big Tee: H&M | Leather Leggings: H&M | Sneakers: Nike Dunk Sky High | Cross Bangle: Fashionology.nl

Outfit: Lovely Whites

Spring has sprung! Finally! So I choose to celebrate that little fact with a white outfit. Almost white that is.
I enjoy the warmer weather, only hard part is what to wear to the office? Since it is still cold in the morning when I go to work. Layering up works well for me, but it's always a hassle. Not that I'm complaining do, I love the sun and this weather! Can't wait for the weekend, have some nice plans! But let's first get through this week...., it's a very busy week for me, so I'm a little off my game. And since my ankle has put me way out of running, I have to start all over with baby steps. Anyone keen to join me? Since I'm slacking big time now. Well, enjoy your week! And I'll promise to post a more cheerful story then.

I'm wearing:
Blazer: Zara | Leopard Jeans: H&M | Tee: Zara | Sneakers: Nike Dunk Sky High | Necklace: Lott Gioielli

Diary: If I May

Wow another month has flown by! Time to show you what I have been upto! First of: I started writing for Tilburg.com. / Next I got my beloved Ombre hair back! So happy with a little more colour in my life. / I sprained my ankle at the end of April, but still needed to run in may. So tape would help me. This way I could run without doing any further damage / and yes! The man and I made it! 13 KM! 

In the second week I finally recieved the newspaper my streetstyle photo was published in! / Prepping for the shoot with fotografille / shooting! / Mother's day!

Waiting for the last names to be announced for Best Kept Secret festival, going there in 3 weeks! can't wait! / Selfie before going to the Vice festivalguide launch party! / Vice festival guide launch party, was great! / Drinks & games with friends

Relaxing, but still with a blanky, due to shitty weather! / Photo's of the shoot got published! / Smoothie time, strawberry it is! / Getting back on track after my injury, baby steps. 

New kicks!!!! / Getting my new shoe closet at Ikea! And the man was laughing and filming me with this big heavy box... / my new shoe closet in full swing! (still too small, but it's a start!) / Smoothie aka milkshake time! Very into rolled oats and cinnamon at the moment. 

Well this sums up my month! Today I'm going to some redecorating in my house with my dad... hoping project "new house" will be finished before we live here for a year ;) 

Have a good weekend!!

Outfit: Slam Dunk

In love with my new kicks! My new Nike Dunk Sky High in crisp white! Combined it with my fav leather jacket and my new hoody. I used to wear these hoodies all the time... but for some reason I didn't bother buying new ones (the old ones shrunk aka I'm getting fat!) so I was wearing the BF's one for a while. Since I had some giftcards left from my birthday, I considered that a new hoody would be a good buy. Also threw in a new pair of leggings and a new weekend outfit has born!
I have received some comments, if I want to post some work-outfits. Well since I only take outfit photo's on the weekends, and I like my sneakers and leather jacket much more then my blazers and heels, it hasn't worked out yet. But I'll find some time over the next couple of weeks to show you some work outfits. Since I have bought some new items, it's a double win!

I'm wearing:
Jacket: Dragon Tattoo Collection by Trish Summerville for H&M | Hoody: H&M Divided | Leggings: CRO for H&M | Tank top: H&M | Tee: H&M | Necklace: fashionology | Sneakers: Nike

Work-out: Nike Training Club App

It's been a while since my last work-out post. I have been out of the running and of my game due to an injury. The thing is when the fysio-guy told me to rest, I took that very literally. I have hardly done anything these past few weeks (besides lying on the couch and eat...). In 3 months time I flying to Ibiza to enjoy a lovely holiday, but before that: this body is going to get back into shape. Next to my trips to the gym (since I'm still not running at the moment) I like to do Nike Training Club. It's a full work-out on your Iphone or Ipad. By the way: You can download the app for free from the appstore.

First you choose a Goal: do you want to get lean, toned or strong? You can also choose one of the focused work-outs. These are short work-outs for just one specific area. I love to do one of those after I have been for a run.
Next up you choose a level: beginner, intermediate or advanced. Seriously, I started with the advanced way back in the time that I was a frequent visitor of the gym. Well... that was not such a good idea. In the state I am now I choose the beginner mode. Choose one of the work-outs, set the music: GO!

Tip: If you don't have dumbbells or a medicine ball; use 1,5 liter coke bottles filled with water. That what I do. You'll be pumping 1,5kg.

All the exercises come with video's if you are not sure how to do a specific exercise. Do make sure you are doing it the correct way, since there is no coach who can correct you.

After you have done your work-out you can sync your minutes, share your progress or just view your badges that you have earned. I'm not a such a sharer when it comes to my NTC achievement, but I like the badges and the extra content you can unlock. Like smoothie recipes and extra bonus work-outs.

So, are you game? Gonna try this app?

NL/
Het is al een hele tijd geleden dat ik een work out post gemaakt heb. Dit komt natuurlijk ook omdat ik al een tijdje stil zit vanwege mijn enkelblessure. Van de fysio moest ik absolute rust houden, en dat heb ik vrij letterlijk genomen. Ik heb werkelijk niets ondernomen, alleen op de bank gelegen en gegeten! Over 3 maanden ga ik op vakantie naar Ibiza, dus je snapt wel dat ik graag weer in vorm kom voor die tijd. Als een aanvulling op mijn work outs op de sportschool ben ik fan van Nike Training Club. Deze app kun je gratis downloaden in de app store; zodat je via je Iphone en Ipad verschillende work-outs kunt doen. 

Allereerst kies je een Goal. Kies je voor Lean (lening), toned (mooie lange spieren) of strong (spieren kweken). Of je kunt kiezen voor een korte "focused" work-out, deze richt zich op 1 specifiek onderdeel van het lichaam. Ik hou ervan om zo'n work-out (bijvoorbeeld Core Crunch) na een run te doen. 

Wanneer je je keuze gemaakt hebt kun je kiezen voor een niveau: Beginner, intermediate, advanced. 
Vergis je niet. Ik dacht aan advanced te kunnen beginnen toen ik nog in shape was; maar helaas. Dat viel echt vies tegen! Tegenwoordig doe ik de beginner work-out, en die is nu zelfs al pittig. 
Vervolgens kies je een van de work-outs op je scherm (alleen de namen al zijn super leuk), set je muziek: GO! 

Tip: wanneer je net als ik, geen gewichtjes of een medicijnbal hebt, kun je ook gewoon 1,5 liter frisdrank flessen vullen met water. Dan heb je in ieder geval 1,5kg gewichtjes. 

Zorg er wel voor dat je goed naar de filmpjes kijkt als je niet zeker weet hoe het moet. Er is geen coach die op je let of je het wel goed doet. Het verkeerd doen van oefeningen kan blessures met zich mee brengen! 

Na je work-out kun je minuten syncen, je work-out sharen of gewoon je badges bekijken. Ik share niet zoveel van NTC. Wel kijk ik naar de badges. Hier zit vaak extra content bij zoals recepten voor smoothies of extra bonus content. 

En? Overtuigd? Kom je ook bij de club? 
En vinden jullie het prettig dat ik mijn blogpost nu ook in het Nederlands typ?

New in: Nike Dunk Sky High

Oh yes she did! I don't buy shoes very often, I even think my last two pairs of shoes were sneakers aswell?! Well I really wanted these sneakers. Last season I needed to get used to the wedge in the sneakers, so I ended up not getting them. This season I saw these white beauties and I was sold: I needed these in my life! Since my size was sold-out everywhere it still was quite a search. I finally found them re-stocked at Zalando (I even had a gift certificate, I couldn't be happier!). I love the wedge, the crisp white, the mesh... I love it all! 

For the Dutchies: Als je op 26 en 27 mei voor minimaal 50 euro besteld bij Zalando, krijg je 10% korting op je bestelling (afgeprijsde artikelen en sommige merken zijn uitgezonderd). Gebruik de code: VAKANTIE13 via onderstaande link

New in: Running in Pink!

 

 

Yesterday it was D-day! And YES I ran, I ran the 13k. With my ankle in tape, but I did it. It was so hot, and the 13K seemed endless. So I figured I deserved a little present for my efforts: these new Nike Lunarglides. I actually got them last week, but I wasn't alowed to wear them until after my race. So hello new pink running shoes!



A photo of my man and me yesterday after the finish. Since I was so proud to have completed the 13K, I figured I could bore you guys with this image :)

Happy Monday!

Search of: The Perfect Nike Air Max

Nike Air Max; you either love them or hate them! I'm searching for the perfect Nike Air Max for some time now. Well maybe I had to get used to seeing these sneakers around again; they have this 90s vibe, and weren't always that acceptable in society. I know that I begged for months a pair of Nike Air Max, but I ended up with the Nike tennis shoe, which was better suited for nice little girls like me, or so my parents thought. Well at the time my parents were right though. But now I want a pair of the bad ass retro sneakers. I seriously can't choose!
Via blogger Lovely by Lucy I found this great webshop: Titolo! They have really great limited edition pairs. I haven't ordered anything yet, so I can't say anything about the service.

What's your opinion:
Do you like Nike Air Max? If yes, which pair is your favorite?

New in: Nike Town items

As I promised: my Nike Town purchases! Since I didn't have any natural light, I choose to get the images from Zalando (who still have both items in stock!). But this is what I got! A short; which is double layerd. It has a tight short underneath. So no embarrassing moments when I'm working out. 

Second I got this tie-dye kinda tight. It's extra good for the environment since it's made of plastic bottles! But I just like the look and feel of the pants; the eco-part comes second for me. Both items I got on sale; which I was so happy about! 

Well now I can Run In Style again (And of course: body pump, spinning, insane etc etc...)

Diary: Hip & Happening Berlin

So, I haven't been blogging much, so what was I doing? I was in Berlin baby! Hip & Happening Berlin.
Every year the man and I take a little trip in the second week in March to cellebrate our anniversay. Well technically our anniversary is tomorrow: 9 years together! Can't imagine life without him; can't even remember my life before Matt. Well enough on the sloppy details. Berlin!
I love this city. I did have to get used to it; it is so cold, icey snow everywhere, and most of the buildings are just concrete boxes. But the fashion, creative vibe, streetstyle, artwork are Hip & Happening.

So what are you looking at?
- The bearth taking Hollocast memorial; it's flabbergasting
- From where I stand; both wearing Adidas kicks
- The Branderbuger Tor; another breath taking site, it's so big!
- Street art at RAW (make sure you check out RAW in , guessing it'll be a vibrante creative mess in summer)



- Nike Town purchases! Yeah, Nike Town is HUGE! I had a field day! All the limited edition tights, tops and shorts (that are not available, or sold out in 10 minutes in the Netherlands) were on sale! Yeah ON SALE! I tried on half the store. I'll show you what I bought later on this week.
- Chai Latte; yep I drank a lot of them, multiple a day! This is the first city where you can get a Chai Latte in every cafe or snackplace. I'm loving it!
- I have always been a big big fan of Andy Warhol; so on my last day in Berlin I visited the Hamburger Bahnhof museum . I love contemporary art, so this is the museum for me. I saw a great installation of Martin Honert, which is on display till the 7th of April. If you have the chance go and see it, it's worth it. Above all this massive painting of Mao by Warhol is a must see! It is as big as my house! (and my house is quite big..)
- On my way home.... waiting, waiting, waiting, to finally board the plane.

Some tips:
- All the shops (even MacDonalds!) are closed on a Sunday; I'm not kiddin'. Make sure you plan you shopping spree on another day. The shops in the main shopping area are open till 20h every night (except Sunday that is)
- Berlin is colder then the Netherlands; don't forget that! Beanie's, gloves, snowboots, ski jackets, even ski pants, it's all on the streets. Indoors it's very warm, every shop or bar has the heating on HIGH! So layer up.
- Berlin is BIG! Make sure you get a metro-card to get to all the good places! The Ku'dam is nice, but don't spend more then 2h there, there are much better places to spend your time and money (e.g. friedrichshain)
- Berlin is quite cheap for a European Capital.
- My geuss is that Berlin will be even more vibrant in Summer. So I'm planning to go back there when the temperatures are up :)

Well these are my tips on Berlin for now. Expect to see my shoplog on what I got at Nike town very soon.
You can see more pics of my trip on instagram! (@amysfashionscrapbook)
Or see my post about London from December here!

Have a good week!

New in: Run in Style

As I'm telling you again and again, I'm running. And since I believe that everything should be done in style (or every reason there is to shop: you should!) I clicked some nice traininggear home! Yeah I know it's a little much, because I already have like a whole self in my wardrobe dedicated to sportswear which is seriously jam packed! I work-out a few times a week; so I do need a lot of sportswear.

Well done with all the excuses why I spend a sh*tload of money; what are you looking at:
Black Tank : H&M sportswear | Back Training Jacket: H&M sportswear | Black Tank with print: Nike | Black Element Shield Tight (seriously worth the investment!): Nike | Silver Sports Jacket: H&M | Printed Running Shorts: Nike

As you can see I wear only two brands: H&M and Nike! H&M because it's friendly for my wallet, and you do need a lot sportswear (or doing laundry is one of your hobby's) and pair it up with some quality products from Nike. I have a tight from H&M, which has a perfect fit and is very comfortable, but I can't wear it when  the temperatures are low. I'll freeze my ass off! It's all about mixing and matching.
The only thinng left to do by me is waiting for the mailman for the last items from this list to be delivered!

Work-Out: In 2013 I will RUN

 

In my goals of 2013 I told you that I want to compete in two runs this year (read it here). it all started with this photo that was published on the facebook page of Nike Running (here); My face is in that pic! (Try to find me... ) Since the pic says that sweat will be my best accessory, I decided to do so. I'm going to take running more seriously. To make sure that I will I enrolled myself into my first run of the year: running 13 km in may.

  

 

 

 

So these pics above are actually for me in the first place to make sure that I'll train hard so I can run those 13 km. In the meantime I'm going to post more work-out stuff here; I know that that isn't fashion at all (and this is my fashionscrapbook) but I since it's my personal-blog I hope you'll let me get away with it. And of course I run in style, so technical it IS fashion! More work-out updates, sportswear and inspiration to come!
