3 Looks for 3 occasions | Christmas Celebrations

As promised here are my three outfits I wore around the festivities. This time of the year is always the most stressful time for dressing yourself. There's this dinner with those group of friends another with your family and so on. And all of those times you want to dress appropriately and that can take  time and some serious preparations. Here are three looks I used for different occasions. The first is a pre-Christmas gathering with friends at a fancy restaurant. The second look is one I used for the mass at church. And the third look is an outfit I wore to have lunch with some friends. I hope to have inspired you with these looks for the remainder of 2014 festivities!

GIFT GUIDE | Smartphone gadgets

It's that time of the year again.. Christmas songs on the radio, all kinds of decorations around the house and if you live in The Netherlands, you'd see 'oliebollen' stands on every corner of the streets. Oliebol is a Dutch/Belgian pastry, which taste a bit like a doughnut, made around new years eve. It's my guilty pleasure around this time of the year especially the ones filled with raisins.

This time of the year is not all about food, although it plays a huge part, it's also about giving.
Giving each other love and of course presents, lots and lots of present. Presents are definitely not only restricted to kids and youngsters, so here's my little Christmas gift guide for us supposedly 'adults' or try to act like one for that matter. These gifts are specifically for the smartphone.

Smartphone Virtual Reality Viewer by Dodocase

This is probably one of my favorite gift to receive myself (or I could just steal it from my brother), my inner geek for gadgets comes out with this. It's a kit to build a VR viewer out of cardboard after you download the app on your smartphone you can start using it right away. Put your phone in the viewer and enjoy the experience. I've played the one where you sit in a rollercoaster and you actually feel yourself moving with it. This kit costs 20 euros.

Selfie stick or selfie remote

This is probably the most used maybe even gained a 'negative' reputation word of this year (or was it last year?), but it still is very useful for those who like to take pictures while traveling or while they go somewhere. There are lots of selfie sticks around but those ones with bluetooth is definitely the best ones out there. Just sync and pair the stick with your phone and your good to go. I think this definitely would be useful in concerts where you want to film the performer, especially if your as short as me. You can get it almost everywhere online, but if you're in a hurry and in need of one right away, you can buy it at HEMA for 12 euros.

Sometimes you want to take a picture of yourself and your friends at a great distance, that's where the selfie remote comes in handy. You download the remote cam app and the camera responds to the sound the remote makes by pressing the button. The reach is not that big though, probably somewhere between 3 and 5 meters. You can buy this at HEMA as well for 10 euros.

That's my gift guide for this year. I hope to have helped you with finding the right gifts for your loved ones!

What do you think of these presents?

SNEAK PEAK | It's the most sparkly time of the year

Club L sequined bra, H&M sequined cropped back, ZARA sequined crop top.

It's that time of the year again.. Food, family and parties. And it's that time of the year where there's no limitation on the amount glitters,sparkles and sequins you can wear (at least according to me). But because of the festivities, we tend to spend (even) more money, I already have at least 4 christmas dinners to attend to and don't forget New Years Eve! So to save me some money, I dug up some old pieces from my closet that has festive potentials.

The question is.. How am I going to wear/style it? I will create three different looks for each item this coming week. So stay tuned! Challenge accepted.

Christmas gift tip | Grow a beard

This particular month and time of the year is about giving and receiving gifts. What's better than giving your beloved warmth and the opportunity to look like a 'hipster'? Nothing right? So this 'beanie-beard' (yes, it's what they're really called) is the perfect christmas gift, especially when you're in the colder area of the earth at this time of the year or you can even wear it when you want to hide that zit on your chin. And the best thing is they're unisex. I like to wear mine when I'm biking to uni, which is almost unbearably cold already, to keep my face warm.

You can buy this at "Flying Tiger", which is an awesome shop full of gimmicks and fun stuff. You can check their website here.

Don't you think it's awesome?
