New in | I see right through you



I went to Amsterdam the other day and bought these sunglasses at Monki. Eventhough summer's almost over and school is starting again, you can't have enough of sunglasses. I think they're pretty awesome. It has a big round shape and mirror glasses, what more can you wish for?

Back to school or uni.. I don't know what to think of. I just got a mail for my minor. I'll be going on an excursion to Antwerp and I need to bring a camera and a sketchbook.. Ahh I need to get my drawing skills up for it.

ootd | I wish it was time for me to graduate..











H&M blouse, H&M jeans, H&M bag, H&M leather jacket, Primark cut out boot

So that's a lot of pictures of me.. Yesterday I went to a graduation of the lovely Janaa from Janaavb and wanted to wear something casual yet smart. So I opted for a simple blue blouse and black jeans (that are supposed to be highwaisted) and paired it with my new Primark cut out boots that I already showed in a previous post. I kinda fell in love with it, it makes your outfit a bit more interesting considering that this outfit is not something you call inspiring. And lately I'm making more time to curl my hair, just so that I like my hair more and to keep me from cutting it as some of my friends threatened me not to do it (if you feel addressed to, you're probably the one).

ootd | Scottish plaid




Primark blouse, Bershka dark grey jeans, H&M bag, H&M ankle boots, Casio watch

I wore my new Primark blouse today and got a lot of positive comments on it! I'm thinking about sewing a similiar model with some fabrics I have laying around. I'll let you know how that goes..
Anyway the following week is gonna be the last week of my freedom, so I'm trying to make the most of it. Filling it with fun things I won't able to do when school starts.. Oh boy. I'm not ready to leave my stressfree days.

HAUL | My very first haul video


I'm so excited to show you guys my haul of the other day. I went to Rotterdam and bought some stuff at Primark, Zara & Dailyrush. Sometimes it's really hard to give you guys a clear view of the item I bought, so I thought a video would be easier and less time consuming.. Boy was I wrong. I have soo much respect for all those Youtube people who can talk so comfortably in videos. Anyway, I still am not satisfied of the way the video turned out to be, but I wanted to post this haul asap and I guess practice does make perfect. If you have any feedback/comments on the video, please do share. And any video suggestions are welcome!

The video takes forever to upload. I'm posting this while the video is uploading! So if you're unable to see the video, then you're a tad bit too early. You can take a look at the pictures I took from the haul while you wait for the video :). The prices of each item are shown in the video.

Style appreciation: Olivia Palermo

You know that you've got it bad when you're staring at someone's hair at 5AM.. Talk about hair envy! In a previous post, I've already mentioned of wanting a new haircut and Olivia's the perfect example of how I really want it. And while I was looking through tumblr searching for her hair, you automatically see her awesome sene of style. If there's one closet I could borrow for one day, it's Palermo's. I love how she could match a designer's brand with just another item from Zara or H&M and how she looks so effortless put together. You'd probably know her as the 'fashion bitch' from The City, but really after seeing her in many interviews and other videos, I think she's really sweet. It was just an act she had to put on. Anyway, this is probably the haircut I want to get, it's not really short yet not long. So if you see me in a future post with completely different hair.. then you'd know that the trip to the hairdresser went bad.

PS.: Yesterday I went shopping and got a "few" items I'd like to show you! So stay tuned for that! I hope to post it asap.

ootd | braid, plaid & leather





H&M pleather jacket, Zara plaid shirt, Pull & Bear white shirt, Bershka dark grey jeans, Mango heels
I love the combination of plaid and leather, it gives a tough and edgy look to the outfit. I can't wait for fall the come! Finally being able to layer. And my hair is braided into a fishtail braid, because I'm really contemplating to cut my hair short.. So I'm trying all different kinds of hairstyles to refrain me from doing it. The last time my hair was short was a time I dodged all mirrors. Anyway that was then.. Maybe if I tried a different kind of short? Ohh we'll see

PS. woahh I just realized at how diverse my outfit is. It doesn't come often that I wear clothes from five different stores in one outfit.

PERSONAL | Moving on


Zara striped shirt, Bershka dark grey jeans
 The last few days after the incident (read previous post about it) have been rough on me. I don't like to sleep in my own bedroom (just the thought of strangers snooping in my room, creeps me out), so I basically sleep on the couch. And I didn't really feel like taking ootd pictures or pictures in general, so that's explains my short absence. But despite this, I'm slowly moving on. A part of it is because of you guys! Who supported me and wished my family and me well. I'm so thankfull! And now I have the urge to pick my camera up. I couldn't take proper ootd pictures as I was already late for my date with friends but this is how I like to wear my shirts, a lazy tuck can make your outfit so much more interesting! And I love this shirt especially, the fabric is so nice and you can never go wrong with stripes. By the way, I wanted to try vlogging but it's so hard to do it right! Respect to the people who are so good at it! Maybe later, I'll get the hang of it.

PERSONAL | Stolen

I didn't plan to post anything right now, but I feel so broken right now. Some people broke into my house..

And it isn't just about the valuable stuff such as jewelery and money which they toke from us (they didn't touch any appliances/media/camera stuff) but the memories of it. My heart broke when I saw my father's look on his face.. I won't ever forget it. My dad is one of the hardest working man I know and he earned his money through hard work. And with its money he always buy something for my mother. So it's not about the money but the memories of it.. I don't know how can you recover from something like this? When you feel that everything has been stolen from you, literally? Some say that everything happens for a reason, but it's still so damn hard to understand.. But I do feel that I, myself should change. Eventhough my family and I had to go through this. I want to change myself, I won't forget the look on my parents face..

I want to work hard and accomplish great things for the sake of my parents. I don't ever want to dissappoint them again, by the way I act, the way I speak and the way I think. I want to help them in every way possible. I want to give back everything they have ever done for me. I pray to God, that I'm thankful for protecting us and blessed for everything. I pray to God that even if it's near to impossible to return some jewelery that my mom treasure so much.
Sorry for this maybe too personal post, but I need to get this of my chest. On top of it all, i have a re-exam coming up. My room is a mess (which I cleaned yesterday.. yup all hard work is gone). Police will come tomorrow to check everything again..

Thanks for listening!

ootd | Jaws





H&M pleather jacket, Zara jaws shirt, Mango transparant necklace, Monki black jeans, Mango heels
 Most of the items for this look are recently bought and when I first saw this Jaws shirt at Zara, I knew I would regret it if I didn't buy it. It was only 8euros. Anyways this is my semi-rocker look and at first I didn't know if the necklace would work with this shirt but it surprisingly go well together. Sorry for the crappy background of my pictures, I couldn't take pictures outside.

OOTD | Going out for sushi





Zara jacket, Zara white sweater, Bershka grey skinny jeans, H&M metallic green heels
I've been craving for sushi the last few weeks and yesterday I finally got to eat some! The weather was a bit annoying as it's hot but still windy. So I decided to wear this lightweight jacket I recently got out of sale at Zara. Oh by the way, this is my first ootd video and I didn't really had a lot of time to edit but oh well you still see my outfit right?

Fashion inspiration | That winter, the wind blows



Finally, my first post of August! It took a while to post something properly mainly because I was hooked on not one but two kdramas.. For you guys who don't know what kdrama is, it's korean drama/tv series. If you're lucky the series will be around 16 episodes (45min-1hr), so that means that you'll most probably be a caveman for two days (cavemen days mean no sleeping to watch kdrama). So yeah this is what's going on in my life. Anyways, one of my kdrama called "That winter, the wind blow" started in february 2013 till somewhere april 2013, so the show had finished for quite some time now, but that doesn't mean that the fashion was not inspiring! While watching the show, I was looking forward to what the heroine would wear in that episode. As you can see from the pictures below, the girl wears a cane.. She can hella dress for a blind one. I really like her classic and neat style. It looks really put together. The looks are simpel and there's a lot of mono colors. This is probably the look I would go for when I'm a bit older!
