Well...

... I'm off to Budapest tomorrow morning. I'll see you next weekend!

Lille

Finally exams are over and I can do some fun things. Like today, I'm going to Ikea. I'm hoping to find lots of nice stuff for the new apartment. I also found the time to sort out the photo's from our trip to Lille in July. We had a lovely time there and we did some serious shopping (sales!). Lille is a wonderful city, so if you have the chance to visit it please do!

Palais des Beaux Arts

La Vieille Bourse

La Grande Place

La Chambre de Commerce

Notre-Dame de la Treille

La Porte de Paris et l'Hotel de Ville

I'm wearing

Jacket: My Sisters

Scarf: Vintage

Dress: H&M

Purse: H&M

Shoes: Vintage

As I said before we did some serious shopping, that means my boyfriend loves shopping to.

I was searching an A.D.I.D.A.S. jacket like this for ages and I finally found one in the A.D.I.D.A.S. originals store in Lille at 50%. That just made my day! I know this is a bad quality picture, so I need to mention that the stripes are actually gold instead of white. You'll get a better look when it appaers in one of my outfitshots.

A cute dress from Zara and also 60% off. God I love sales! I tried on this dress before when I was still at home, but couldn't find the perfect size. So I searched every Zara in Lille for this dress and I got lucky.
This blouse is from Zara and was 70% off. It's a real comfy piece of clothing, so I just couldn't resist.
A colorful sequined bolero from H&M Divided. You know that when I see something shiny I just have to buy it.
These 2 flowers are from H&M and are perfect to make a simple scarf beautiful. According to the plastic attached to them they're for wearing in your hair, but they're just to big for that in my opinion.

I also got another dress at H&M for only 10 euros, but I forgot to take a picture. So I'll show it to you guys soon.

I've read somewhere that Lille is a great city for shopping vintage. I've searched the internet and the city but couldn't find a single vintage shop. So if anyone knows some good vintage shops in Lille, let me know please. I plan on visiting this city again as soon as I can.

Almost Holidays!

Tomorrow I have my last exam and you can't believe how much I'm hoping it will be over soon. After tomorrow I'm going to have the best 3 weeks of my summer. I'm going to have fun, sleep longer, go on lots of shoppingtrips, shop new things for the new apartment and I'm going to Budapest in 2 weeks. Since I haven't started with planning my trip to Budapest, I know what to do the next days. All kinds of tips about Budapest are very welcome!And as of tomorrow I'll be back blogging fulltime :) Can't wait!

Birthday Boy

Today my cute cat Toulouse turns one year old, so he deserves a little post on my blog aswell! Still as cute as always! I can't believe he's already one year. Look how cute he is!

Sorry for the bad quality picture, but I took this one with the camera on my cellphone.

I'm Back!

I finally found the time to start blogging again. I must say that I missed blogging so much and I'm really happy to be back. Things just got so hectic the last month. I had to work, had to study and had to pack everything for the move in September. So you guys can imagine that I really didn't find the time to do a blog post and take pictures, because the apartment is a mess.
Well, exams started last week and today I went shopping because I deserved that after all the stress I had last month. I bought lots of stuff and took pictures, but I packed my cardreader and I can't find it. So the pictures will be online somewhere at the end of this week.
I still found this picture on my computer, I bought these things at the beginning of summer. Everything is from H&M. I bought the bows and the flowers. The hairpins and the bracelet are a gift from my boyfriend.

That's all I have to say for now, but I promise I'll never be gone this long anymore. I still have lots of things that I need to post about, so stay tuned. I'll try to get up to date with reading all your blogs.

DIY

I finally found some time to do one of the so many DIY-projects that I still have to start on. These are some empty cigarboxes, which I use to keep my hairpins etc. in. I printed some of my favorite pictures and glued them on the boxes. So easy, but so pretty.

The photo on the left is just a random one I found on the internet and the right one is a picture from Robert Doisneau (one of my favorite photographers).

What do you guys think?

I'm still hoping for some nice tips for my trip to Lille. Hope that there's somebody who can help me!

Eindhoven

Since I've been away for so long on this site I still have lots of things that I want to share with you guys. I bought lots of stuff when I was having some vacation, but still didn't do a post about all my new stuff.

In June my mom, my sister and I went to Eindhoven, as we do every year. Here in Belgium sales start in July, but in the Netherlands sales start sooner. Meaning, I got lots of new things hanging in my closet.

This t-shirt is from H&M. I'm normally not a big fan of prints like this, but I really like this t-shirt. It's even long enough to wear as a short dress. I love clothes that can be worn in different ways.

I already have this dress in blue. This one was 50% off and because I love wearing my blue one I decided that a second dress like this wasn't a bad idea.

Again a pair of shoes. My mom said that I have to many shoes,but I just couldn't resist. They were cheap, because they're from H&M. I love the cognac color and a pair of flat shoes is always very welcome in a city like Leuven with lots of unstable sidewalks.

I'm addicted to buying things for my appartment and I had fun at the decoration floors at De Bijenkorf and at V&D. I bought these 2 beautiful pieces and I can already imagine them in my new place.

Got a few accessories aswell. The hair pins are from H&M, like my new necklace with a recordplayer. I love this necklace and since my boyfriend is a DJ I just had to have this one. The keychain was just to cute to resist and 50% off.

That's it for now. I have to clean the appartment, since today is my day off. Have a fun day everyone.

I'm So Tired!

I'm the worst blogger ever, I know! I just took a little break from blogging because things are so hectic at the moment. When my exams ended I took a week off, just to have fun and do some shopping. My holidayjob started the first of July. So the only thing I do these days is working, really my feet are killing me. I'll try to post more often. Right now I'm just so tired that I can only think about sleeping in this beautiful bed.Oh, and I would love to have a bouquet of fresh flowers on my table. I prefer my favorite flowers: Persian Buttercup.

Next weekend the boyfriend and I are going on a citytrip to Lille in France. If you guys have some tips, some must-sees, some nice (vintage)shops, ... Just let me know. I've already made a little list, but more things to do are welcome!!!

Counting Down The Days

I'm right in the middle of exams and I'm so hoping it will be over soon. So next Tuesday I'll be very happy! Tomorrow I have exam number 3, I'm having trouble with focussing. There are 2 simple reasons for that :)
1. My boyfriend brought home the second season of Gossip Girl yesterday. All you GG-lovers out there know that when you see one episode you just have to see them all. I'm hoping for part 2 of season 2 to come out very soon, because I love all the drama.

2. I just read that H&M is collaborating with Jimmy Choo in november. And I must say I haven't been that excited since the collaboration with Viktor & Rolf. I saw these shoes on the Nitrolicious blog and I can't keep them out of my mind. I'm actually thinking of going to H&M in november and fight for these amazing shoes (the black ones, the zebra-print isn't my cup of tea)!

That's all for now. I should say I'm heading back to my books, but I think Gossip Girl is going to win for the rest of the evening.

Shoe Love!

I've found some new shoes to dream about. Maybe they'll magicly end up in my closet ;)

Jimmy Choo

Christian Louboutin

Chloé

Label. Fashion Focus

Label. Fashion Focus is the newest Belgian fashion magazine in town. This magazine is purely about fashion, needless to say I love it! They not only present beautiful clothes and shoes, shopping tips in several cities, they also take us behind the scenes of fashion. In this edition you can read about handcrafted shoes (I loved this article) and Seal Kay-jeans. I really enjoyed reading the article about cross-overs, especially the collaborations of Zaha Hadid Architects with Lacoste and Louis Vuitton with Sofia Coppola made me really curious. It's such a hot topic right now and this shows that Label. Fashion Focus is the best source for the newest fashion news. If you can't get enough of the paper version (selling points), don't worry, they also have a blog which is daily updated with the best news in fashion. Both the magazine and the blog are a must-read!

This editions cover.

I also had the chance to go to the Label. Fashion Focus party at Urban Outfitters in Antwerp. I finally had the chance to meet the editor-in-chief Stéphanie Duval and we had a nice chat. I really enjoyed talking to you Stéphanie! It was a lovely party with free Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, red bull and Kiehl's goodies. Personal Shopper Emma was there to restyle everyone who wanted. The photographer of the evening was Jeroen Visser, Antwerps very own streetstyle blogger. I took some pictures that evening, but I can't find them anywere. So I took these pictures from the Label. Fashion Focus website.

Stéphanie (in the most beautiful dress) and me.

I WISH YOU GUYS ALL THE LUCK WITH THE MAGAZINE, I'M SURE IT WILL BE A SUCCES!!! I'm a big fan, as I told you before!

New Dress

My boyfriend his sister and her boyfriend moved in together a while ago and yesterday we were invited for a nice BBQ at their new place. We had a nice time and the food was delicious. Afterwards my boy and I went into town and met up with some friends for some drinks and a little dancing. I wore my new dress from H&M, which I think is really pretty.

Oh and since my last outfitpost I got a few questions about my hair. I know my hair looks really short in the last outfitpost but I didn't get a haircut. I decided to let my hair grow a little longer. Right now I can't do anything else with my hair than wear them in a ponytail. I hate it when my hair has that in between length.

Dress: H&M

Bolero: H&M (old)

Legging: H&M

Shoes: Zara

Paris Part 2

For the moment I only have time for a very quick post. The deadlines for my papers are coming really close and I still have lots of work. That's why I'm such a bad blogger lately, I promise I'll be back posting more from the 10th of june.

I still have lots of pictures that I need to post. Yesterday I found these pictures that I took short after our trip to Paris. I forgot to post these. I didn't buy much on that trip, but bought the most amazing shoes and a beautiful skirt.

These shoes are from Zara and they were a lucky find. I found the other shoe on the other side of the store, the only pair left in my size. I'm so glad I have these. They remind me of these Margiela Boots that I've been lusting for like forever. Since my budget isn't prepared for some more Margiela these shoes from Zara are perfect to ease the pain.

This pretty dark blue skirt is from H&M and is just perfect for every occasion. It's my favorite skirt at the moment, so pretty and so easy to wear.

Ice Cream On A Sunday!

Last sunday the weather was really great. It was warm, the sun was shining, so it was the perfect day for some ice cream. Mine was delicious and this is what I was wearing.

Blouse: Zara
Skirt: H&M
Legging: H&M
Shoes: a little shop in Paris
Bow in my hair: H&M

Oh and I've got some other great news: my boyfriend and I found the most perfect apartment for next year. The apartment we have now isn't that good, lots of things need to be fixed and the owner just ignores us. So we decided to move in september. I'm full of ideas for the decoration of the new place. I just can't wait!!

Lovely Roses!

Last week my boyfriend and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! We had a great dinner in a nice restaurant and in the evening we went to a party in Ghent (my boyfriend had to DJ there). When he got home from work he surprised me with these beautiful red roses. Exactly 4, because we are together for 4 years. He's so sweet and the roses are wonderfull!

The color of the roses is actually deep red, but it really didn't turn out that way in the pictures!
