Nora , 23 , Arts and Culture student

"My motto?", Nora wonders when being asked about the essence of what really matters to her.
"Keep on living!", she suddenly replies. "It actually is the title of a song composed by Le Tigre, issuing the brave coming out of a lesbian girl.

I do believe that every single one of us must now and then check- eventually even reconsider - his convictions about right or wrong; this undoubtetly may hurt. At the very end of a day, however, this process made us the person we truly are- for the better or worse."

Nora wears ballerinas by Buffallo, Sweater , leggins by H&M , a bag bought at a street market and a top purchased in a guatemaltecan street store.

All pictures have been taken on the 5th of september at the Vrijthof, Maastricht.

Pause to think, time for new

It`s raining, still. After weeks of moving, sozializing and getting aquainted with so many things,I am now ready to both regularly update(Ha, little joke.) AND give some way more important announcements on WHAT`S TO EXPECT.

The Fashion

First of all, let`s get down to somewhat eagerly awaited, people : Fall season 2010 has arrived - as to be admired in the runway pictures. Since it is hard to leave things behind, a (very) last reminiscence of Michael Kors` wonderful summer collection has been given. Who doesn`t feel a light summer breeze after watching these? In general, beside the clothing line for this year, both the watches and the bag lines launched are the best they`ve produced so far.

One week to go, many challenges are awaiting. New city to live in, new study to get ahead of, numerous people to connect with. The INKOM 2010, the official introduction party for all prospective students at both Maastricht University and the Hogeschool Zuid, will take place this week. Lots of emotional work that is. A start-off for all this will be, however, inevitably made visible in this Blog- soon!

The Blog

Preparations are done - a brand new category, finally working towards the blog`s initial aim, will be introduced: The "Face of the week". Not only does this highly benefit the Blog`s relevance for each new reader, especially those residing in Maastricht ( that is, seeing and getting reviewed your own style in the most objective, proffessional way ) - a way better impression of the message behind each piece can be given. Runway fashion may be great, no doubt. What really matters, however, cannot be expressed in labels printed in the neck-area of your shirt.

Are some of you sharing this thought?! See YOU the coming week on Maastrichtfashion!

Designers featured are:

1) Michael Kors menswear F/W 2010 (The Fashionist)

2) Calvin Klein F/W 2007

3) Friedrich Gray, F/W 2010

4,5) Michael Kors menswear S/S 2010

No fear, no doubt -

The ultimate How-To for making as many mistakes as possible-

and why failing DOES make you stronger after all

A lot changes. Sometimes I feel that there are certain things you inevitably have to be feared of, no matter how good you are possibly prepared, how many supporters are behind, how strong you actually FEEL- in the end, some of your plans cannot be "managed", are actually completely dependent on external factors.

If this prediction can be made from the very beginning, WHY DO WE EVEN KEEP WORRYING AND WASTING TIME ON ASSUMPTIONS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE UNDER OUR CONTROL?

Without doubt, moving out from home has hit number one on this list, it is huge.We nevertheless all did.I had quite some troubles managing things which finally led me to quitting studies past year after 3 months already. I felt that I could not return to the same city, but- however- that there still is a plan to forfill - without bitterness or morosity.

Came, saw,tried - every single one of us knows the lections of life on how unfair, hard and lonely it can be, the only thing truly mattering, however, is what you feel. How did life leave you ending up by now? Think about it right when you read this.

After a stressful journey, the fight with friends, a broken relationship?

As for me, being open-minded sure DID break my heart now and then- but didnt stop my enthusiasm about life as such. We all live once, we will never look as good as we do now.

Why bothering still?

Short Summer

Maastrichtfashion/ AH

Short, shorter, fashion week!

It`s worth spending a second and having a first outlook on the menswear Spring season 2011!

Being finished with that, better sign a five-year contract with the gym of your choice.

Wether if it`s for the sake of climate changes, high-prized designer`s moods or new feminism on worlds most looked at men runways -in this case, Salvatorre Ferragamo, Bottega Venetta and
Gucci- no matter which colour, pattern or label, no piece will continue dressing your knee any longer, be it trained or not.

I so do LOVE the first model being shot at Salvatorre Ferragamo- everything so perfectly fits without actually matching persistent or `loud` (Dsquared!).

How more french could this outfit look thanks the silky yellow shawl knotted around the neck ?!

Enjoy this summer, the next is still to come EVEN BETTER!
