HAUL | Taking it easy

I decided to start blogging by taking it easy.. What's easier than a plain old haul and a little try-on haul. I saw these two pieces at Primark and immediately knew that it was going to be a piece I would be wearing a lot. The black top has a plisse as a touch of detail which makes the top looks more expensive than the 11euros I spent. The skirt is such a eyecatcher, I immediately saw potential. You could wear it fancy with some heels or dress it down with these H&M sandals (also known as the "jesus walks" sandals). I wouldn't combine these two pieces in particular but it happened to match together quite well.

Thank you for sticking with me. I'm trying to get this thing back going on, so please be patient with me while I'm taking this blog (perhaps maybe Youtube?) to the next level :)

NEW IN | Shearling jean jacket

Guess where this jacket is from.

To be honest I'm not ready to bring out the winter coats out of my closet. Since Fall/Autumn in The Netherlands usually is just cloudy most of the day with a hint of sun sometimes, it's not responsible to just put on a lightweight jacket. Usually I just wear a leather jacket and put on a scarf if it's get chilly outside but sometimes it's just nice to grab something and go.  

This jean jacket is perfect for this. The jacket is fully lined with this shearling fabric so it's still warm inside but doesn't look like a snowstorm is coming. I'm planning to replace the black leather jacket with this shearling jean jacket, because lately I've been wearing leather too many times.

The best part is that the jacket is from Primark! For only 23 euros. Did you guessed it correctly?

I was looking for a pair of pants (which I still need to buy) but came across this jack. 

Outfit will follow soon!

NEW IN | silver boots

Did I really just buy another boots? Yes I did and I'm not proud of it but as I was wandering around in Primark, this was the one item that I knew I had to have. I have always wanted to buy silver boots but didn't really want to spend a lot of money for it, since I don't really need new boots, so this from Primark for 22 euros is quite a steal. I love the zipper and the details of the brushed off colours. The silver zipper you see on the pictures is fake though, there's another 'blind' zipper on the other side. I got these in a size smaller, it falls a bit bigger because of the slight pointy nose.

The challenge now is, how am I goint to style these boots? I already have a couple ideas and I can't wait to show you guys.

What do you think of these boots?

HAUL | Spontaneous Primark shopping!

When I go Primark shopping on a mission to buy certain clothes/stuff, it usually ends up disappointing and results in stuff I don't really need or really like. But when I don't really plan to go to Primark but just happens to past by with a friend, the best things are found which is really bad for my wallet.
So I didn't really plan to go to Primark, but I do needed those shoe liners for my Flyknits, so I decided to go there for a quick second.. Which as you probably can guess took a bit longer than a second.

First thing I found and fell head over heels is this marble/see-through striped cropped shirt. And yes, I did bought two of them.. Because I couldn't decide to have it in my normal size or a size up. I'm crazy like that. It was 8euros though, so it wasn't that bad of a decision. Next item I found was this blouse which reminds me of 'batik' and thought it would be cute for the summer with a white short or skirt. This was a bit pricey though for Primark, 14 euros. When I saw these heels I couldn't decide which to take. I have a wedding ceremony to attend to but still don't have the dress, so I thought white strappy heels are usually safe same goes for the black strappy heels, plus they're super cute! Each was 15euros. The last few items are just some basic necessities I thought I should have. The pink bag arm bracelet is for me to attempt to run outside and get some cardio outdoors. Hope it will help me.

What do you think of this Primark haul?
(sorry for the inconsistency of the colours on the pictures, I edited it on my iPhone (yes I changed my phone, finally!) which made it hard to match all pictures)

ootd | The Biker outfit

Primark denim blouse, New Look faux leather vest, Zara skort, Nike Air max Thea

Been out for a little while, but I'm back! Needed some time to get back on uni stuff and some time with some friends. I had a high school reunion last weekend because they were going to demolish the building and build a new one. So I met up with some high school friends and we relived some of our high school days (miss those simple days). 

Some of you probably already know but another big reason that took up a lot of time was.. The Walking Dead. Yup, I went there. I am a sucker for a good tv series and this is another one that got me totally hooked. The thing that got me watching was actually because "the Conan show" did a spoof of the series and did some interviews with the actors. And because all series I am watching weekly are on a short break. So I started watching it on Saturday and have 8 episodes left to watch.. So that means I've watched 3 seasons, 37 episodes, 1665 minutes in 4.5 days. Is that considered healthy? The show is so good though! It absolutely deserve all the rage for it. If you can stomach lots of blood, organs and have a thing for zombies.. You should definitely start watching it.

My days filled with fighting zombies probably had affected my outfit of today. At least my interpretation of a though biker chick, who can kick zombies some asses, look. I've been wearing my Nikes a lot again (driving with sneakers is so much easier) and paired it with my Zara skort. On top I wore a button up denim blouse and to finish it added a faux leather vest. Don't know if I really like the combination of the leather and the skort though. I must have thought so in the morning.. You never know if you don't try, right?

What do you think of my biker outfit?

ootd | Preparing for new beginnings

H&M leather jacket, New Look cropped sweater, Primark midiskirt, Converse shoes, Flying Tiger tote bag

I can't believe how fast the last few months have gone by. Before you know it, it's time to celebrate christmas already and set up the fireworks. I'm excited to leave 2013 and start a new year with new beginnings and a fresh attitude. 2013 has been a real PMS bugger to me with its ups and downs and am ready to close this chapter. Anyway, I'm wearing another midi skirt today, because the weather is actually quite nice and paired it with an old cropped sweater from New Look.

ootd | First week of december

H&M polka sweater, Primark coat, H&M high waisted jeans, H&M ankle boots

Lot have been going on the last few days.. I dyed my hair back to one color (golden stars for those who noticed it right away). On saturday, I went to a christmas market in Munster,Germany where I mostly been eating calories-boms, I will do another post solely on this. And on sunday I went to a vintage kilo sale for the first time with my friend Roz. It wasn't anything big and I didn't really plan on buying something until I saw this suede leather skirt that goes right above my knees and a cute crochet crop top, which were never worn. All for 9 euros. Can't beat that right?

I got this polkadot sweater I think last year and am so bumped that I bought it a size too big. I like the sweater to be a bit oversized but not too much. And this item is right on the borderline. Nonetheless it's still comfy as ever and hold enough heat for me to be walking in this autumn weather. I went to Primark the other day and found this coat, which is actually too thin to be called a 'coat', on sale. I promised myself not to buy a coat anymore, I mean what is this 99problems post about. But I knew that I would have a great wear out of it, so I couldn't help myself. What can I say.. I'm a sucker for anything on discount.

ootd | Floral Kimono

Primark floral Kimono, Primark highwaisted jeans, Zara sweater, Bershka wedge

What's the best feeling in the world? You probably have some jeans or pants laying around in your closet which are a size too small, but you still have that hope that one day you'll fit them (again). And when you do, you'll feel invincible and just plain ass awesome. I had the same feeling with these Primark highwaisted jeans. I accidentally bought a size too small and since I don't really live near a Primark and I "try" not to go that often, I just threw it in the far back of my closet.
Today, I tried them on again and suddenly it fitted! It wasn't intentional though, it's probably because I get screwed by public transportation everyday which forces me to bike about 8km to my uni back and forth. At least it did something good.

ootd | Three shades of grey

H&M leather jacket, Primark fluffy feather sweater, Bershka grey skinny jeans, H&M peeptoe wedge boots, Primark sliver ring

I couldn't resist to wear this fluffy soft and cozy sweater to uni today, eventhough the sun was shining bright. It's just so comfortable and soft that I just want to wear this every minute of the day. Another thing I'm obsessed about lately, is this nailpolish I'm wearing from Essie. The color is called 'bahama mama' and is great for fall!

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.

HAUL | 3 girls, 1 Primark & 5 paperbags

It's that time of the month again.. Primark. Primark is a place that whenever you go, you have to buy something even when you don't really need something. Last friday was that kind of day. I wasn't planning to buy a lot.. although I didn't have a budget. But I was like okay, I'll just buy a couple of sweaters.. That mission was accomplished indeed.. with a few other stuff. Anyway, I'm really happy with my purchases and was pleased with their fall/winter 2013 collection! Can't wait to wear them.

For those who are interested in a more detailed picture and the prices of the pieces, click below!

ootd | Friday the 13th

Zara coat, Primark white shirt, Mango necklace, Monki jeans Converse all stars

ootd | Less like a farmer

Primark blouse, H&M boyfriend jeans, Mango heels

This blouse.. again! Sorry I couldn't help myself from wearing this again. The weather is getting hotter again, so its sheerness is perfect and I don't know about you but if the weather is hot I refuse to wear something tight fitting hence the boyfriend jeans. And at last, the heels make me feel less like a farmer.

Uni has started this week and I'm already looking forward to the weekends and holiday breaks..

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).
