ootd | Summer days

shirt Zara, skirt Zara, shoes Nike flyknit lunar 2

Summer is here in the Netherlands and what better way to start it with a skirt? I fell in love with this one when I saw it on sale at Zara, I couldn't leave it behind and still not regretting it. I have a feeling that I'll be wearing lots of whites and greys this summer. I even already bought some white birkenstocks.
Summer here I come! Any plans to go to this summer?

HAUL | Going on a combat!

ZARA leather combat boots

I've wanted some badass black combat boots for a while now, but couldn't fine one I really liked. I was going to buy just the basic H&M fake leather black boots for 30euros but they were sold out already. So my quest for the perfect combat boots was still there, until I saw these beautiful pair at the sale corner of ZARA. They went from 100euros to 30euros! And it is made out of real leather. What a bargain! I'm totally going to feel so badass wearing this. Can't wait to style them.

How would you style these combat boots?

OOTD | Another plaid-ful day

Zara plaid shorts, Pieces grey sweater, Bershka kneehigh boots, Mango necklace

Another outfitpost with my Zara plaid shorts and kneehigh boots, but I couldn't help it! Especially since I got my driving license, the weather isn't really a big factor in my outfits anymore.. Courses are starting again and I'm feeling motivated to do this right! The coming week is still filled with fun stuff to do but I need to plan my free hours and study hours better this time and maybe this semester will be a little bit more stressfree.

Anyway, my first giveaway ever ended successfully! I wanted to thank all the participants and congratulate the winner. I will plan another giveaway soon! :)

OOTD | Time to suit up!

Mango blazer, Unknown shirt, Seven Sisters jeans, Bershka brogues, Costes necklace, Zara bag 

Fortunately the weather is quite nice despite the prediction of snow this week. So I decided to wear my brogues which I haven't got to wear a lot. These brogues are pretty awesome, it has a transparent heel to it!

Anyway, I wanted to buy this blazer a long time ago but was so glad I didn't because I got this on sale. I am seriously contemplating to never buy anything fully priced again. You can buy it here

Do you like how I styled the blazer? How would you style it?

HAUL & PERSONAL | Celine inspired Zara bag

Zara 

I missed you guys! Disaster week is finally over, for now! I had a rough week at uni. I had to finish my minor project, but really didn't do much during the holiday, which made me do a lot of last minute work.. I had so much struggles the last half of college year that I just wanted to get it over with a passing grade. Which is such a shame, because I really do like the minor itself, just this project didn't really kick in. Because all of the procrastination I had to make it up in the last week.. I seriously was awake for 36 hours straight the last days before the presentation and I haven't really got my sleep back, so I'm writing this with a sleepy eye. After the presentation I went to the city to celebrate my passing grade with a Zara retail therapy! I got this envelop layered bag for 15 euros. This bag reminds me of the celine one. I have wanted to buy a similar one when I saw it on "A pair & a spare". This one is perfect, it's big enough for a tablet and has a long strap which you can take it off.

Do you also like to shop to celebrate a passing grade or something similar?

ootd | The ZARA skort

H&M jacket, ZARA skort, ZARA white sweater, H&M ankle boots

Now that 2013 is nearly ending, you have to make it count right? So when I saw 'the' Zara skort on sale I knew I had to buy it, because it was probably one of the fashion spring/summer trends of 2013. I don't even really remember who I've seen wearing it first, all I remember is that suddenly every girl wanted that skort. And I must confess I first didn't really wanted to give in but bloggers like SincerelyJules made it hard for me. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, these Zara skorts. That's probably why Zara decided to reintroduce the skort for the fall/winter collection 2013, since it was such a success. I like that instead of making it in a plain fall colour, they added the grey pinstripe model. Perfect for the fall/winter days.

Did you fell for the 'skort' trend? And what is your favourite fashion trend of 2013? Leave it in the comment box! I'd like to hear your opinion.

Haul | 99 problems but a coat ain't one

Finally got some time to post my 99problems post, this time with some recently bought coats/vest or jackets. I seriously don't know how I got to this point where I bought all this. I couldn't resist the 'temporarily' H&M sale on the two pieces from the top. And I love how versatile and awesome the faux fur vest it. It can make an outfit 10 times more interesting! Definitely recommend this one. It's a bit longer than the one I already have. Considering buying one of these coats? All H&M coats/jackets are a bit bulky/oversized. So going a size down is definitely worth it.

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 | First real fall outfit

Vero Moda fur vest, Zara white shirt, Bershka grey jeans, Graceland laceup boots

I felt like wearing something more appropriate to the weather today.. My first real fall outfit. When I was in Antwerp my friend was searching for a fur coat/vest and that brought me back to my own old fur vest. I forgot I wanted one so bad a few years back and found this on at the Vero Moda, still not the perfect fur vest but getting there.. This one is a bit cropped so perfect for dresses and high waisted stuff. Will this be my fall/winter essential piece of this year? We'll see.

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.

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.

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.
