outfit of the day: Preppy pastel


Haaah, those weekends; it's like I don't experience them consciously. Since I'm in college I have the feeling that time flies. (seriously, @ excessive speed) It's also the first time I needed an agenda: planning = necessary; because time is money, or that's what they say. Mostly, my time of real chillin' is during holidays. But I know, I shouldn't complain, because there will be a time to go working and then the REAL life-time-management will start. Anywayz; I wore this outfit @ a little reception today of our neighbors: they opened their refurbished garden center. Normally; I wear this outfit with my fluffy duffy electric blue winter coat; but since the temperatures are absolutely NOT winter-matic; I decided to wear just a little jacket. (and even that waz tooooo warm!) 







Wearing:

Blouse (Forever 21) - skirt & shoes (urban outfitters) - jacket (zara) - vintage satchel (ilovevintage.com) - earrings (Jutka & Riska Antwerp)






oh btw: I finally succeeded making a fishbone braid: 3 times hurray to myself.

NEW IN: some vintage

Heeeeeuy; 



 Vvvvvintage; can you smell it allready? Shopping these unique pieces; knowing that there is a whole story attached to these clothes... LOVELY, don't you think? Well, so do I; I'm a serious vintage-lover. Although the wahalla for vintage is located in Brussels, Antwerp & Gent; Leuven has also something to offer. Not so long ago; Think Twice also got a shop in here. It's a nice store, orderly sorted by color. And as you might know; they have a great concept: it works by 'people to people'; what makes it very affordable. On top of this; a collection stays 5 weeks and @ the last 2 weeks you can shop with serious discounts. And with hearing the word discount; I'm getting into a very active mood... So these are my gains; 

* Pink dress with cute buttons 

*Sweater dress with fruits to wear with some leggings 









   



* Disco glitter dress - But I really don't know how to combine it to don't make it look 'TOOOOO'; So any suggestions?

MY COLLECTION: Catrice

Hi!

Like I said before; step by step you will know a bit more of myself... As some of my posts reveal; I'm a serious nail polish freak. Actually, most of all: Catrice. I'm very satisfied with this polishes; most of them are very smooth, don't need to many layers and offcourse: they're cheap. (€2,69 to be precise @ kruidvat; although they were €2,50 earlier; the crisis is for everyone, I guess?) Catrice had also a lot of funky colors and the best part is to discover their name. (creative people who invent them imo!)
So here is my collection; not toooo big (I only bought the colors I adored), but still in progress.

                         480 miss piggy reloaded
                         450 I Sea you!

                         830 Salmon & Garfunkel
                         200 from dusk to dawn
                         240 Sold out forever
                         020 MAN, GO Tango
                         400 Blue cara ciao
                         350 Hip girls were blue jeans!
                         540 Am I Blue or green?

Outfit of the day: aztec vs leather

Hello!

It's been a while ago now, so I thought a quick post isn't misplaced. Lately I was very busy with the bday from a best friend. (You know that rush rush rush?) Me and my other friends bought a ring as present, an original design from a store in Leuven called: "Mozaiek". It's worth it! Moreover, we had the ring engraved with a special friend-code. (secret, haha) So on monday, her birthday, I organised a little surprise party @ her studio. After a whole 'pink panter plan'; a friend stole her keys, so we sneaked in and decorated the place with flags and more then 100 balloons, and in one of them we stowed the ring. So after some chatting with party snacks and champagne; she searched and searched and searched and after some tips and a big 'poof'; she received her present & was very happy with it. But enough now; let's get over to the outfit (which I also wore).Remember my primark post? Well, I combined some of these now!

 










wearing: Aztec pull - blouse - leathern shorts (all primark) - boots (unknown) - bag (sasha - old) - earrings (h&m) - nail polish (catrice)

Outfit of the day: It starts with rain and it ends with fluo

Hi!

Oh boy; what a terrible weather. Seriously, it works on my mood! On these belgian rainy days; it's hard to choose an outfit, because it's just to hide yourself behind an umbrella; and not to show it. Nevertheless, I chose a colorful one. Which i'm about to show you in a minute. I was also in a nail polish mood so I wanted 1 nail with glitters; which is seriously failed. I wanna make a bad review for something I bought a while ago: It's called Essence pigments. It consists of a jar of glitter and a transparent nail polish. Normally you have to put on the polish and sprinkle the glitter all over; it promises a good result... My ass; first my desk was completely covered with that stuff and secondly, the result was terrible: it remained sticky and didn't give a smooth surface at all. Did someone of you use it 2, or any other experiences?

What I wear: Black skinny (pieces) - pink blouse / jeans jacket / necklace / earrings (h&m) - bag (vintage) - loafers (new look) - nail polish (essentiel & primark)













why don't you work :(

FRIENDZ EVENTZ: Girls just wanna have fun

Hi there, 

I'm glad to tell you, I had a cozy, lazy weekend. Saturday, I was wondering what to do; luckily a friend had the same lazy feelings and we organised an old-skool girls night with another friend. Because girls stay girls: sometimes they need me-time, and a time of zen to toooooootally chill out (preferably with cucumber slices on your eyes) and that's exactly what we did. With 2 bottles of cava; a loooooooot of snackfood (potato chips, cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes,...), lovely tunes in the background and some candlelight we started. We placed masks on our face (I had my favourite: strawberry-chocolate), polished our nails different and then choose for the newspaper nails (I will post the video of a DIY) and played stupid girly games like 'giebelen' (it's a game for 12-year olds but hey; a lil bit of nostalgia with some cava in your tummy is real fun!).
Here some pictures;
