Trips: Meschiya Lake on the Bayou

Spring has not even arrived, but the first fun vintage events have! The other weekend we were rocking our socks of at Scumbash and last Friday we got to enjoy the vocal skills of the STUNNING Meschiya Lake in Utrecht's good old EKKO. My dearest Madame de Pompadour arranged for this mesmerizing night to be decorated to fit the 1920s Dixlieland theme and of course we dressed ourselves to match....

Starting off with a tasty Gumbo dinner, accompanied by live music from Pierre et Les Optimistes, this evening promised to be amazing right from the start. I mean, what better way is there than to enjoy a vintage-y three course meal with four handsome men working their magic on their instruments haha..... I got to experience this roaring night from the backstage area, which turned out to be a lot of fun, since we got to know Meschiya a bit (and I have to say she is a very kind and fun gall)! After Meschiya's MINDBLOWING performance, Miss Twist made sure we were able to dance the night away by spinning her best 'Twistalicious' tunes. My oh my what an evening.... <3

Here are some behind the scene snaps to capture the magic for you dears....

This great capture of Madame and her man making cocktails was made by a lovely party gall!

Pierre et Les Optimistes

Haha like a deer in the headlights.... but of course I quickly wanted to capture my outfit for you!

What I wore... kimono & earrings by Zara and everything else; vintage!

In this quick outfit post I wanted to show you kittens my new H&M cutie (dress) and Gianna di Firenze shoes. The heels are just so comfortable and I adore the color to bits, good thing I managed to score them with a HUGE discount <3 And do you not just love the retro styles H&M sells from time to time? Although I am still a vintage lover at heart, I do appreciate the washing comforts of such fifties style dresses.... (like this one, which did not fit me properly... but I do LOVE the material and shape). What do you think about retro styles in modern day brands?

Saturday the 22nd of February the Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam was turned into rumbling rock&roll venue for the first edition of Scumbash festival! Fourteen of the most kick-ass rock/metal/punk/bluegrass bands united to blow our socks off while putting on their best routines. Of course we had to be there as well to check it out. So I grabbed a slinky dress and accompanied Madame de Pompadour, who was there with La Fee Verte to style the sh*t out of some lucky ladies' hairdos. Throughout the day I was appointed the fun task to select the six best dressed ladies of the day, who were in the game to win a MDP goodie bag!

Throughout the day I managed to snap some pictures for you guys, to get an idea of what Scumbash V.01 was like.... and of course of some very well dressed beauties. So, without further ado; here's Scumbash!
