When talking about counterfeits, most people think of shoes, bags, watches, sunglasses or apparel. Not often do they think of products such as cars or medicine. Imagine driving a car with faulty parts or medicine containing acids. It could kill you!

It might seem harmless, purchasing a fake, but think of buying electronic equipment that has not gone through some sort of quality control. Would you feel comfortable using it?

Lots of people are under the impression that they can see a clear difference between the real deal and a fake. Can you?

The website CNBC.com posted a quizz about counterfeit goods. Take the quizz now and find out how much of an expert you are at spotting a fake!

Last weekend I got a copy of "Fashion Blogs", "the first book to cover the wide range of categories in fashion blogging" according to the backcover of the book. It's such a great and inspirational book full with interviews with many well-known fashion bloggers. I simply can't get enough of it.

I loved reading about one of the fashion blogging pioneers "Susie Bubble", the sweet Jane Aldridge of "Sea of Shoes" and admired the beautiful pictures of "Liebemarlene Vintage", to name a few.

If you love fashion bloggers, this book is an absolute must-read!

I made some pictures to give you an impression:

After seeing the gorgeous collection of Ready to fish (by the Dutch designer Ilja Visser) last week during the Amsterdam International Fashion Week, I figured it was time to visit the Ready to fish store. The store at the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam opened only 5 months ago. The friendly sales assistant in the store kindly explained to us that everything in the store that you could see, feel, hear or taste is for sale. Such a great concept!

The Ready to fish store must be one of the most beautiful stores in Amsterdam! It's so beautifully decorated in all whites, which makes it a nice and serene environment to browse around. Besides, the staff was so friendly, making my shopping experience even more pleasant!

The only downside was that although I had brought my DSLR with me, I forgot to take any pictures. :(

Since I just wanted to share with you how beautiful this store is, I borrowed some pictures from the Ready to fish website. Next time I will take pics! Promise!

And naturally, I had to buy something from the beautiful collection. Outfit pictures of what I bought soon!

Have to visit this store again very soon, since their Fall/Winter collection will be for sale as of August!

I love breton stripes! I simply can't get enough of them. These pictures were taken early in the morning, which I like the best, although I'm no morning person (at all)!

The breton striped dress I bought at one of my favorite shops Luna Azul. They always manage to sell the coolest stuff. Spot on! With some of my favorite brands, such as American Vintage, Supertrash, Antik Batik, Traffic People, etc. If you're ever in The Hague, it's a must visit! Or check out their online store (sorry only in Dutch I'm afraid).

And don't you just love this fun bag? I bought it in Marbella in such a cool store in Puerto Banus called Elite. They sell the best designer brands such as Balmain, Alexander McQueen, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler, See by Chloé, etc. etc. They're working on an online shop, so keep a close watch on this one!
