Inventory part 3

Today I'm showing you guys my sunglasses.

I don't have that much sunglasses, I have 9. But most people I know only have 1 or 2, so my collection is a little bit bigger.

3 of my sunglasses aren't in the picuture, that's because I forgot them in Leuven.

Most of my glasses are by H&M, I really like the design of the H&M glasses and they're really cheap. Every year I buy at least 2 sunglasses at H&M.

The second on the right used to be my grandmothers, but she gave it to me.

As you can see I really like big sunglasses, small glasses really don't look good when I wear them.

I'm hoping for summer and sunny weather to come back soon, so I can start wearing them again.

Merry Christmas

I wish you guys a very merry Christmas!

Enjoy the good times with your family, the nice dinners, the gifts, ...

Nostalgic

I was bored and searching the internet and I stumbeld on this great site: la cure gourmande.

It's a French store that sells cookies and chocolats. They have stores in France, Belgium and Spain.

That they sell cookies is great, but the thing I like even more is the packaging. It just makes me nostalic! They looks like grandmothers cookies-box and I just love that!

I'm gonna check the store in Brussels as soon as possible and buy everything they have ;) 

It's too bad I just found this site today, because the cookies would also make a great gift.

So check it out and be hungry!

Inventory part 2

Finally I managed to make pictures for my inventory-posts.

It's been already a month since I posted part 1. It took me so long because it isn't that easy to count and make pictures when stuff is lying home and other stuff is at my apartment.

So today: my belt collection!

I own 23 belts. I really like belts, because it's one of the most easiest ways to change an outfit.

But I also own belts that I've never worn. Maybe I need to think about them, when I dress myself up again.

I have belts by Bershka, H&M, Vero Moda, Secondhand, one my dad made for me and 2 gold ones that used to be my grandmothers, but she gave them to me.

Dress turns into skirt

I already have this dress for a few months now, but as you can see in the picture it's really big. It's way too big for me, but I couldn't leave it. I just love the fabric and it only costed 2,7 euros. So I'd be stupid not to buy it.

I decided I'm going to make a skirt out of it. First I wanted to make the dress smaller, but my grandmother (she's my sewing help) told me that it would be really hard to keep the shape of the dress nice. So a skirt it will be. When I'm starting this project I don't know, I don't have that much time now because my exams start in about a month and I need to do a lot of studying. But it will be my skirt one day!

Here's a little detailshot of the fabric. I think it's just the perfect fabric for a nice skirt.

Another shopping day

As usual I went shopping last friday! I only went to H&M and Zara. The buys I'm showing today are all H&M. I also bought a black trenchcoat (FINALLY!!!!!) at Zara, but I'll tell you guys about that in another post.

This t-shirt has little stones around the neckline, but there not that clear in the picture. So you'll just have to believe me that it's really beautiful. The fabric is very soft, so it's a warm and comfy t-shirt, but the stones give it a fancy touch.

This dress reminded me of the dresses everyone in 'Sex and the City' wears to sleep. It only costed 15 euros and I can wear it to sleep and as a normal dress aswell.

I really like the white lace and that just makes the dress perfect.
Some brown overknees and a bleu wallet, stuff I just couldn't resist buying.

I went home for the weekend and my sister had a little surprise for me. She gave me this book about Olivier Strelli, which she got for free when she went to the movies. She didn't want the book, so I'm the new owner.

I must say the designs and clothes are not my cup of tea, but the book is fabulous. The pictures are beautiful, when I've got a scanner I'll try to post some of my favourite pictures.

The best part is ofcourse that she got it for free. I looked it up this morning and normally it costs 50 euros. Well, thank you sis!

Party

Yesterday was party-time again! The party was really nice, but a bit too crowded and I was tired from working all day.

The picture was taken when I came home from the party, so I'm not gonna show you guys my tired face!

Dress: H&M

Clutch: Mango

Leggings: H&M

Shoes: Zara

My shoe project

This is my first pair of secondhand shoes I've bought. I've got them for 4 years now, I think. When I bought them they weren't in a supergreat condition, but now they just were awfull... As you can see the leather is coming of and it looks like my shoes are black with grey, instead of black. 

Since I love all my shoes so much I just couldn't throw them away and I started a little DIY-project. I made all the grey spots black with a permanent marker and of course it's water-resistant. Now I hope it will stay on, but the result looks great if you ask me.

The first picture is just to show you guys how they look. I really like the bow on top.

The next two pictures are the shoes in the terrible state they were in.

This last picture is the 'new' shoe. When you look close you can tell the difference between the leather and the spots I coloured black, but when I'm wearing them they look like new. So as you can guess: I'm really happy I tried this marker-experiment.

Hats

Well sinds it is freezing outside and I really don't do well when it's so cold. I decided to buy some hats to keep my brain warm.

This white hat is my favourite. I got it from my mom and dad last week, when we went shopping together. It's EDC by Esprit, usually I don't find nice stuff there, but I was lucky this time.

A grey berret by H&M. At first I didn't like berrets, but as it turns out I'm really found of it at the moment. And at H&M they really are cheap.

Bag Lady

I really am a bag lady, I have so much bags and still I keep on buying new ones. I'm not sure about the total amount of bags I own, but I guess it will be around 30-40. I will tell you guys the complete amount when I get back on track with my inventory. I can't do that now, because there are purses, shoes, ... at home and here in my apartment. So maybe I'll post my inventory this weekend.

Back to bags now. I bought this bag at H&M a week ago. It's really easy to use when I go too school, because it's big enough for my books.

I really liked the color, that's what made me buy it.

Family dinner

Yesterday we had to go to an early Christmas family dinner.  The dinner was nice and we had lots of fun playing games.

Cache-coeur: H&M

Dress: H&M

Clutch: Secondhand

Thights: H&M

Shoes: Secondhand

My sister, My legs

Last month my sister made her own blog: http://www.hillbilly-doll.blogspot.com

She studies photography in Antwerp and she uses the blog to show her very nice and beautiful pictures. When I looked today I was surprised to see my legs on her blog.

She made the picture for school, the theme was contrasts. So my red legs in contrast with the green grass (that doesn't look that green in this picture).

I thought it was a nice picture to share with you guys.

Now everybody knows who my sister is and you can go and visit her great blog aswell!

Dinner

Yesterday I went to a dinnerparty with my classmates. Dinner was great and we had so much fun.

This was my outfit:

Necklace: Vintage from my mom

Cardigan: Zara

T-shirt: H&M

Skirt: Mango

Tights: H&M

Shoes: Secondhand

My purse isn't on the picture, but it's the red one from Mango (2 posts below). Yesterday I used it as a clutch.

The new shoes

As promised yesterday, here are my new shoes.

The black/greenish shoes are from Urban Outfiters and costed 58 euros. I finally found some nice black shoes again, the only black paires I have are peeptoes. Closed shoes are some much better when it's cold.

The bleu ones are from a secondhand shop for only 9 euros! What a buy!

Back on track

Finally I'm back in business with blogging. I'm really sorry, but my internet refused to work and my computer broke down. But now I have a new computer, a gorgeous white macbook, so I won't leave you guys alone again.

Since there was no computer-time last week and the week before I did some serious shopping. But I didn't mind that at all.

The first buy is a black dress/long t-shirt with glitters from H&M. I just love the period around the holidays, there are always nice shiny things in stores and I just love them!

This is a grey/silver sweater by Vero Moda and again shiny. It's really loose and it has really wide sleeves, so comfy.
I finally found my black shinny latex looking leggings at H&M. Kinda expensive for leggings, 20 euros, but I just couldn't resist. The bleu top is also from H&M, I plan on using it as a bikini. It made me think of the color of an eighties prom dress.
The fake fur scarf and grey hat are from H&M (again). I was looking for a fur stole for some time now, but I wasn't able to find a nice one. So I bought this one, really cheap and I like it.

If you look good you can see a brooche on my hat. I bought it in a secondhand shop, it's nice to make an outfit look more pretty.

I also bought a giftset at H&M for myself. A girl can spoil herself once in a while!
Again another bag... I just needed to buy this one, it's by Mango and I don't have that many red bags. So why not buy it?
My boyfriend gave me the complete series of sex and the city as an early Christmas gift. So awesome. I can get some serious outfit inspiration out of that.

And I bought myself a book about stiletto's and one from taschen about Fashion Now. 

I decided that from now on I'm going to start with buying one book a week, like I used to do.
I also bought two pair of shoes, but I'm unable to upload that photo now, so I'll do that tomorrow.
