EVENT | #WeRunAmsterdam !

I've reached a milestone in my life.. It was on my bucketlist and I thought it was time to cross it off of that list. I've completed my first 10K running race! If you ask me a year ago, I wouldn't believe that I would join the race. Some friends and I decided to just go for it and I'm happy we did. I have been busy with some other projects (my sister's wedding) so I didn't have much time to prepare myself for the race the last few weeks, so I was a bit pessimistic about the time I would finish the race in and I eventually got in the group for completing it in 70 minutes. And my official time was 73minutes which I'm kinda proud of, especially for my first time. 

Overall the race was such fun! Lovely people and there was lots of things to do, unfortunately I had to work before the race so I had to 'race' to Amsterdam right after work which gave me no time to do awesome makeup and hair. Maybe next year??

Did you join the Nike Womens 10k in Amsterdam? or elsewhere?

OOTD & HAUL | How I wear my flyknits

MANGO dress, Tally Weily bag, RayBan sunglasses, Nike flyknit lunar 2

Soo.. I bought some new NIKES and I really shouldn't but I was thinking about it the whole time while I was in the library 'studying'. I couldn't stop thinking about it, it was 20% off at Zalando. So just to get me back to work, I bought them.. And it totally was worth it! I can wear this for running, the gym and even on a daily basis when I'm running some errands. This is how I would style them when I'm just getting through the day, heading to the library again. I love how the simple and versatile this dress from Mango is. The other day I wore this with some heels and it instantly gives you a chic look while pairing it with these sneakers will give you a more casual look! 

What do you think of this outfit? How would you wear these sneakers?

HAUL | Nike Flyknits Free runs

Nike Flyknit Free run

This is by far the best bargain I've had since a while! I got the Nike Flyknit Free runs! How awesome.

The best part is that it was only 49 euros instead of the 150 euros I was prepared to pay.
A friend of mine was on a holiday and visited a Nike outlet and tadaaah they had these flyknits in my size. I think the colourway is really nice, it brings out the woven pattern better. And they're really comfortable to walk/run in! So happyy

What do you think of these Flyknits?

HAUL | My love affair with Nike

Nike Air max thea black (here) , Nike Air max thea cherrywood (here)

I like to wear sneakers when I don't wear my ankle boots. And one of my favorite sneaker brand is probably Nike (surprise!). I've gotten really into them ever since I bought my janoski's, you can see the post here. It went from "into it" to "really liking it" as I got another pair here. And then it got worse with the Sky High Dunks here, quickly followed by my first ever Air Max Thea in Cherrywood here. I was in love as they were the comfiest sneakers I ever own. And I could literally bounce on my feet when I'm running or walking. So it's not a surprise when I finally got ahold on the black Thea's, as they run out fast (no pun intended), I bought it. Ah well it means that I won't be able to shop for awhile.. Probably a good thing.

Oh and If you ever consider on buying them, buy a half size up! It runs a bit small.

Do you like the Thea's? And do you have a favorite sneaker?

ootd | Less per-suede-sion needed

Pimkie scarf, thrifted black suede skirt, H&M jacket, Nike janoski shoes

I've decided to join the gym again after such a long time, but this time with some more routine and dedication to it. I'm liking it and feeling great so far. It helps me put out my frustrations of my project for school. Less persuasion needed. The outfit I'm wearing was not intended to just go to the gym but for some brunch in the city as well. And I got to wear my thrifted black suede skirt. I've been wanting to wear a knee length (midi) skirt for quite some time now and this item certainly didn't disappoint me. I just love the suede material of it. Such a skirt is so versatile, you can either dress it up by wearing heels or dress it down with some sneakers and sweater. I can't wait to wear it more often!

*Unexpected update!*
While procrastinating and doing pretty much everything else except for working on my project, I came up with a new header! Do you like it? I'm planning to slowly update the rest of the layout throughout the day as well so stay tuned!

HAUL | Dunking sky high with my homies

Homies sweater (similar here), Nike Sky High Dunk (similar here)

Bought some new stuff.. again. I've been bad with my bankaccount this month. I bought yet another Nike pair. This time the sky dunk high, the ones with a wedge heel in it. I've been wanting one so bad, I was contemplating to buy this as well when I bought the Nike thea, see post here. So when I saw these shoes on sale at the 'Drie dwaze dagen' at Bijenkorf (for the Dutchies) for 85euro I had to buy it. 'Drie dwaze dagen' which means 'Three Crazy Days' are quite well known sale days for a Dutch warehouse, Bijenkorf. You usually see these shoes with purple laces on it, but I wasn't really feeling it so I exchanged it for the black ones which was included. And what about the Homies sweater? I've seen similar sweaters often but they're all quite expensive, so when I saw this one for 15euros. I thought why not? I can totally see me wearing this when I don't really feel like dressing up.

ootd | Dark lips

Primark boucle cardigan, Primark 3D shirt, Primark clutch, Bershka grey jeans, Nike air max thea Cherrywood

The weather is PMSing here in The Netherlands.. A few days ago, I thought fall was on like donkey kong but now I'm not so sure. The sun was shining and I didn't even need to wear a jacket.
If you're following me on my Instagram, you'd know that I bought this awesome YSL matte lipstick in dark red. It was 40% off at Ici Paris and I thought why not make use of it! I don't usually spend a lot of money on makeup, let alone by one of YSL, but the color suits my thea's and it will look great for fall.. If the weather is deciding to stop PMSing.

ootd & haul | Cherrywood

Nike air max thea, H&M jeans, Mango shirt, Bershka mint blazer

Finally! I bought these Nike knockouts. I've been contemplating for quite some time on which Nike sneaker to buy and every time I found one, it's sold out or my size is not available. So when I saw this pair, I knew I had to buy it asap before it's out of stock. You either love it or hate it, it is the air max with a more feminim twist to it, air max thea, and I love the fact that it's completely cherryred with a hint of mint. I can't wait to wear it more often and this was my first wear of it. I paired it with a mint blazer which matched the mint on my sneaks and painted my nails cherryred.. talk about matching. I bought mine at zalando. If you decide to buy one as well, don't forget to add a vouchercode to get 10% off! The one I used is "actiecode0013". This will work in The Netherlands till 11 october 2013.
