Dutch Actresses’s Fashionbash (DAF)

Yesterday (Sunday) we, Mimi Bloggerteam, took a field trip to The Fashionbash, organized by Dutch actresses Halina Reijn, Carice van Houten, Hadewych Minis, Kim van Kooten and some more. They sold their obsolete clothing for charity (WNF) purposes. We were given a full program. After paying €5,- we could listen to a DJ, we could purchase champagne and later on we could get Salsa Lessons. During our wait on our turn to shop, we were entertained by the celebs with updates on how many shoes were left etc. We could also take our picture with the actresses…

……and so we did. We sure can learn something from these pro’s: posing-wise! (we blacked ourselves out obviously)

But, most importantly, we COULD shop! From Spijkers en Spijkers (we bought that from Carice van Houten) to everything in-between Gucci and H&M. Red Carpet dresses had the evidence (photo’s) pinned on them. All sizes were SMALL, all heels were HIGH.
