Stripes are always a good idea.

Summer is coming and I bought myself an entire outfit. In my detoxing post I told you about this dress I bought. So here it is! This beautiful and sophisticated striped dress is from Zara, and I saw it on zara.com a couple weeks ago and it never left my mind. So Wednesday I finally bought it. And I am very happy with it.  And today I also bought these cool sunnies. I think they look classy yet edgy. I bought them in a store called Invito. My boyfriend also bought himself a pair, that way we would get 50% of of one item. Which is always a nice surprise. His sunglasses are also very cool, so I am definitely going to steal them some time hihi. And then these really cool slip-ons from H&M. It is quite a story actually. They were a present from my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. He knew I wanted them for some weeks already. So he bought them for me just as a really nice surprise. But.. my shoe size normally is 39 (uk size 6), so obvious he bought them in that size. And when he gave them to me I couldn’t wait to wear them so I put them on and we went to the supermarket. Only when we came back my shoes gave me blisters on my feet and they really hurt.. so I ordered them online in a size 40 with the plan in the back of my head that I will bring the others back to the store. When the slip-ons finally arrived they were a tad to big unfortunately… So I went to the cobbler and he gave me insoles for the shoes and he also gave me some anti-slip stickers, which you stick on the inside of the shoe. You can see it on the picture! After that I went to H&M to bring the old ones back only to find out that there was a giant blue spot on one of the shoes! I was breaking out in sweat and already started to explain that I had no clue that that spot was even there… Fortunately they weren’t making any fuss out of it. So after all the drama and the uncertainty I can finally enjoy these great pair of slip-ons. Told you it was quite a story! Thank you again my love for the cute shoes! So tell me what you think of these great and lovely items.

Lot on my Plaid PFW

As always, the famous fashion-week photographer Tommy Ton shot some amazing pictures full of inspiration and upcoming trends. Including the plaid trend. It has become a beloved print for coats and even shoes, as well as an accessory! Plaids have become a funky addition to the outfit. I really like the twist, it takes some time getting used to but when I do, there already will be something new. Click for more inspiration.

Finally, the perfect thing has arrived.

How do you call it when you have that complete feeling, because I am definitely feeling it right now.  I was talking with my mother and I told her that I was planning to buy a faux fur coat. She walked upstairs and she came down with this baby. It is a woven lamb coat, from PK by Pap'Kik which is a French brand. It shows somewhat darker on the pictures but it has a soft brown/beige colour. I was freaking excited! It fitted perfectly and it feels very soft. Plus I didn't had to subtract it from my clothing-money! My mom is always full of surprises, Isn't she amazing? I am very happy I can cross out another (oh yeah!) musthave from my wish list! 

Finally mine

Complete satisfactory is my emotion of this day. Why? Today I went to H&M 
for a quick look and I saw the thing I was looking for for so long. I have probably mentioned it a couple 
of times already, but I can now proudly say I found the hat I wanted. It is a black woolen hat and
I can't wait to combine it with a faux fur coat and a black bag. That same black bag I bought as well! 
I looked for something like this for quite a while and it was only 15 euro's so I couldn't just leave 
it hanging there. What do you think?

Compare me with SATC

I was watching sex and the city, I usually don’t watch programs of 10 years ago, but I realized how much wisdom was hidden in the series. Not only funny but also very true and recognizable words. It kind of made me thinking. I don’t want to compare myself with Carrie, because I can’t speak of knowing true love, marriage and full-time jobs, but I sure can talk about the same love for fashion and writing. I really love the way Carrie writes, of course some of it is just staged and written by an expert, but she speaks from crazy experiences and knowledge, about many things, something I admire and hope to reach one day. I know I write better in my own language, somewhat more fluent, but I'm hoping this will eventually will be the same in English, starting with this article. but lets get back to SATC. I don’t really have a typical SATC person you can compare me with, probably I will be a little to the carry side with a touch of Amanda because of my critical thoughts about men. It is actually simply to say that Carrie Bradshaw is living my dream, writing in NYC, with a closet I can only imagine.. for now. Although Carries style maybe a little too much for me, still admire her "not giving any", because I just wouldn't have the balls to dress myself the way Miss Bradshaw does sometimes in the series and the film. Maybe I will someday, I don't really know, I may be very different in 10 years. It may well be that just like Carrie, I will upgrade my closet eventually when it is the right time. Maybe one day I will also have developed my writing, and hoping it will be as good as Carries. But those are a lot of maybes and right now I don't have to think about them, I'm still 17 years old and I can improve my writing everyday until my goal is reached, I still have so much to learn and so much to write about.

I think I am not adding my dutch version of my writing to my posts, I must say writing the same thing again in another language is quite boring.. What do you think about this decision?

Utrecht Haul

It’s holiday and that is when I like doing nice things. Such as last thursday. I visited my sister in Utrecht for a good night out and shopping the next day. Enjoying old hits such as backstreet boys, nsync, etc. at Cafe ‘de Kneus’ is something I can erase from my bucketlist. After a couple Tequilla shots without salt… we started drinking wine and time past by. 

The next morning we stayed in bed until half past 3 and watched a bad quality version of Twilight Breaking dawn part 2. Nothing is better than sleeping in and watching a movie under the warm sheets.

But we absolutely didn’t forget the sales at Zara (tip!). I got to use my giftcard for the greater good and bought some nice things. I also bought a red lipstick… hopefully I can pull it of!

Dutch. Het is vakantie en dan doe ik graag leuke dingen, zoals afeglopen donderdag. Donderdag ben ik naar Utrecht gegaan om een avond goed te stappen en de volgende dag een bezoekje te brengen aan de Zara. Het genieten van ouwe hitjes in studenten cafe De kneus kan ik van mijn bucketlist checken. Na de shotjes tequilla zonder zout… ging het over op de wijn en vlogen de uurtjes voorbij.

De volgende ochtend hebben we tot half vier in bed gelegen en een slechte versie van Twilight Breaking dawn part 2 gekeken. 

Maar de Zara zijn we absoluut niet vergeten! Het was uitverkoop, dat is het nog steeds (tip!), en zo heb ik mooi mijn tegoed bon voor kunnen gebruiken. Daarnaast heb ik snel bij de kruitvat nog een rode lippenstift gehaald, ik ga het proberen…
