Imelda's Inspiration Pt.5

oday's inspiration article is all about sequins! There's nothing I love more than sequins. If there's something shiny in the shops, I immediately get drawn to those pieces (I really can't help myself).

So prepare yourself for some bright and shiny pictures in this post! I really want to go shopping for some more sequined things when I see all these beauties. 

And what about you guys, do you love sequins or not?

Love,

Imelda

Feeling Comfy

Last saturday I had a day off from work and I enjoyed the good weather to the fullest. 

I went into town with my boyfriend. We did a little shopping, had a coffee and we ended the evening with a great dinner to celebrate our 6 years together.

I thought it was time for another outfitshot. Nothing special actually, but I still liked this outfit a lot (it's so comfy).

 Blouse: Zara

Pants: H&M

Purse: Vintage

Shoes: New Look

I'm curious to find out what you think about this outfit, so let me know :)

Love,

Review: Lush Easter Bath Ballistics

I already gave you guys some information about the great goodies Lush had in store for us to celebrate Easter. I didn't mention 2 products, because I had them myself and wanted to test and try them before I wrote something about these 2.

I'm talking about the Fluffy Egg Bath Ballistic and the Hippy Chick Bath Ballistic. Both very cute (almost too cute to use), like we're used from Lush products. 

Fluffy Egg Bath Ballistic: A bright pink Easter egg decorated with some little flowers, suitable for all candy lovers. The smell is very sweet and I like it, just like the Snow Fairy Shower Gel (Christmas product). The waters turns out bright pink, can my water have this color all the time? 

Hippy Chick Bath Ballistic: This sweet little chicken stole my heart the first time I saw him, just too cute.  The frangrance is very refreshing, I smell lemons (not surprising if you know that Lush discribes the scent of this cutie as grapefruit). In the end my skin feels soft and gently perfumed, although I'm a little bit sad that this fella is gone.

All these products are limited edition, but if you're lucky you can still find them in your Lush shop.

Did you try out some of the Lush Easter goodies or are you going to?

Love,

Imelda

Imelda's Inspiration Pt.4

Finally I've found the time to write another article, it was such a busy week for me. 

Wednesday I went to the Joyce Jonathan concert in Brussels and it was amazing! I got the tickets as a birthday gift from my boyfriend and I couldn't be happier with this gift. She's such a good singer, I had a wonderful time.

Yesterday I went to Antwerp (right after work) to visit a few pr agencies. I couldn't make it to all of them, too bad. I'll be posting my favorites in a while.

This is a great 'how to wear a scarf' picture. Must try this soon.

Beautiful drawing that hangs in my livingroom. I forgot the artist, my apologies!

That electric blue pants is awesome. That's one to go on my wishlist (I'm pretty sure these inspiration posts aren't so good for my wishlist).

 Just a beautiful picture that I wanted to share with you guys.

Animal print shoes and cute socks, a killer combination!

I hope you guys liked this post and I wish you all a great weekend!

Love,

Imelda

Shirts For Dresses

I hope you guys had a great Easter weekend! I sure had a great time, BBQ with the family, enjoying the good weather, having a day off from work, ... I enjoy all my free time to the maximum and took the time to take some outfit pictures!

Dress: New Look

Belt: H&M

Purse: Vintage

Shoes: Vintage Casa Dei

What do you guys think of this outfit?

Have An Eggsellent Easter With Lush!

When there is a holiday on the calender you can be sure Lush will spoil us with another limited edition holiday collection. That's no different for Easter this year, so today I'll be sharing some of the new goodies Lush has designed to Easter up your bathroom.

.

Donkey Oaty Bath Ballistic: A cute and sunny ballistic with the fragrance of Lush's Charity Pot. A bright coloured donkey filled with rice paper ribbons, that looks like a pinata. While he's bubbling up you can dream away and enjoy the colorsensation in the water.

Happy Easter Gift: This gift contains a hollow bath ballistic egg- one side with the sweet Candy Fluff perfume and the other side with the refreshing Avobath mix. Inside the egg you'll find a small Hippy Chick Bath Ballistic, ready to be born. All of this is wrapped in a Knot-Wrap scarf.

Bunny Knot Wrap: specially designed for Easter, these Bunny scarves are perfect to wrap Lush goodies you want to give to anyone. A great ecological alternative to avoid paper (that gets thrown away).


In this collection you can also find the Hippy Chick (a cute ballistic in the shape of a chick) and the Candy Fluff Egg (a bright pink ballistic in the shape of an easter egg). I'll be reviewing these 2 products in another post, so stay tuned for more Lush news.

What do you guys think of this collection? Have you tried anything yourself?

Love,

Imelda

Essentiel Flash Collection Summer 2011

2 weeks ago I was invited at Essentiel in Brussels to check out the Flash Collection for summer 2011. A very colorful collection that you must see in real life. I'm talking fluo yellow and pink all over the place and I loved it. Nothing better to spice up your outfit than a splash of color. 

We got spoiled with good music, cocktails and delicious macaroons (yummy!). The event was the last on the planning of that day (press days in Brussels) and although I was tired I did have a great time meeting a lot of interesting people.

 Can I have the whole platter?

 I really want these black shoes!!!

And I want this vase too!!!

The evening we got the opportunity to shop at a 20% discount, but I resisted the temptation (ain't I a good girl?). I got my fix that evening from the beautiful store itself, it's so nicely decorated. You should really go and have a look yourself.

I had a great time and want to thank Oona for inviting me.

What do you guys think of the Flash collection?

Love,

Imelda's Inspiration Pt.3

Ever since I started with these inspiration posts it seems that the weeks are going by so much faster. Luckily I get inspired by so many things, so I will always have lots of things to talk about in these posts. That's enough chit chat for today, let's got on with the pictures.

These golden sequined pants are the textbook definition of fabulous. God I wish I had these in my closet!

This beautiful house in La Rochelle has been on my mind since last summer. I love the romantic feeling, I really hope to own a house like this someday!

Food and the YSL ring, a perfect combination. This ring has been on my wishlist ever since I saw it the first time.

My very cute cat Louke. When I see him sleeping like that, I just want to lay next to him and cuddle. What can I say? I'm a cat lady and I'm proud of it!

The perfect blue blazer with fierce shoulderdetails. Unfortunately sold out way too fast!

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Imelda

Press Days @ Brussel Pt. 2

So here's the second part of my Press Days recap. There are fewer pictures in this post, mainly because a lot of my pictures failed (I apologize for that).

Our next stop was the Top Secret Communication showroom. I was really surprised to find out they represent Nuxe, one of my favorite beauty brands! I felt like I was in heaven, especially because of the beautiful presentation of the products. I already had a huge Nuxe wishlist, but it got even bigger after this visit :)

 Bio Beauté by Nuxe

 Beautiful Natan dresses

The last agency we visited that day was Bureau Löffler. I already knew that we could expect luxurious brands and I saw some pretty great pieces.

 Jimmy Choo (OMG!)

 Bruphils

 Stella Forest

Isn't this dress the most beautiful you've ever seen?

These are so cute and are on the wishlist!

A huge thank you to Top Secret Communication and Bureau Löffler for inviting me, it was great seeing your showrooms.

I really hope you liked these 2 posts filled with beautiful goodies, because next week I'll be attending the Press Days in Antwerp. So stay tuned for even more wishlist material!
