Inspiration: Nature.

Loads of things inspire me. Yet they all inspire me in different ways. Nature is a big inspiration for me. It really makes me appreciate the outside world and how beautiful everything can be. Not only does nature change 4 times a year, it is also so diverse in textures, colours and forms. Therefore its beauty surprises me everyday. Nature truly mesmerises me. it inspires me combining textures, prints and colours like nothing else does. Nature holds a power within that interests me and therefore I collected photo's of nature that I found very pretty and interesting. I hope you are inspired as much as I am.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I did some shopping today. I am glad to present you; my new purchases, including the very sporty and subtle New Balance sneakers. My monthly shopping-money had finally arrived on my bank-account, and with the generous donation of my mother because of my great performances at school, I could easily afford me some new kicks. But I did not leave it with only the shoes, because I saw this shirt and cross earrings at New Look, and this necklace at H&M. The weather is still not that great, but shopping for sweaters and hoodies seems a waste of money to me, since summer is around the corner. But on the other side it is still too cold to buy any tanktops or shorts. So I made myself a clear deal; I am saving my money up, so when I am leaving for London in about 6 weeks, I have enough to buy myself a summer wardrobe. Because as if right now, I don’t know what to shop for at all because the sneakers are in the pocket. Maybe that is a good thing! Let’s hope I keep this promise to myself.

Nude face, Bright lips.

Lately I have my undivided attention for summer preparations. What can I wear, what should I buy, which shoes am I planning to purchase? But enough about the clothes and accessories, I have made my decisions about everything in that department, lets talk beauty. And today I am focussing on the lips. I have seen so many lipcolours I want to try out, especially some really bright and striking. Some take bright red as their daring colour, but there are way more options to choose from, for instance bright pink, or what about orange? Very colourful, very summery, quite defiant, but still wearable! Combining it with simple and nude make-up during day and adding a edgy black eyeliner at night. This trend has been around for quite sometime when talking in fashion-years, it goes back all the way to Marc Jacobs SS 2010, and even more designers where ahead of him. I certainly am not passing this everlasting trend, and I am definitely trying this out. Starting with a bright orange. Maybe it is really time to invest in a more expensive lipstick, leave the drugstore sticks behind and start a collection of summer colours that are eyecatching and headturning. Who is joining me?
