Bombing Saturdays

Hey babes, 

I hope your Christmas was better than mine! I've been quite sick for a couple of days now so I went to the doctor yesterday. What he told me: take your meds, get in your bed and stay there. Which means I had a lot of time to get outfit-inspired today. I use Instagram a lot to get inspired for my clothing. For today's outfit I chose something simple & added sunglasses because have you seen this weather???!!!!

Sunglasses: www.sunglassspot.com 

Blouse: Donaldson

Bomberjacket: Bershka

Jeans: Zara

Shoes: Adidas 

I overthink my outftis quite often, especially for my bomberjacket. I was looking for one for quite a while now and I found this one at Bershka. When I think about the things I would combine it with: black (ripped) jeans, blue jeans, white shirt, black top,... But when I wear black, I start thinking that my leather jacket looks better with that outfit, when I wear white in winter I think I should combine it with grey or black,... As I said, I'm an overthinker but I believe I'm not the only one who has this problem??

To be honest, I am utterly in love with Sunglassspot! All their sunglasses are 5 dollars! The shippingcosts are quite high though and it takes like 14 days for the sunnies to get here but when you get them, you are the happiest you can be! You can order up to 6 items and pay almost 20 dollar shipping costs, if you order more than 6 sunnies, you will have to pay a bit more. I don't say this to brag, but most sunglasses fit me quite well. So I don't need to try them on first. I highly recommend you to visit the Sunglassspot website, you'll be amazed about how many different sunglasses they offer! PS: if you really want to order and you don't get up to 6 sunglasses, let me know cause I can always use some more sunnies!

 

So that's it for my "Bombing Saturdays"-post. As you can see down below I had to take a picture with my cat as well, couldn't leave the opportunity to pose with her haha

Blowing out birthday candles

Hey sweeties, 

Yesterday I had my pre-birthdayparty at Wijnhuis Vinhmm... The idea was not to get drunk, I just wanted to spend some time with my friends for my upcomming bday which is on 31st December by the way ;)

So obviously I had to look better than the usual "just-got-out-of-bed-and-not-interested-in-doing-anything-look". No just kidding... but I did have my hair and nails done. And there was a new dress hanging in my closset, ready to be worn!

So I had my nails done by the amazing An from Haar- en nagelstudio An in Herenthout. I chose for this bordeaux red because it fits every outfit during the holidays and it looks so elegant. I chose for round ones, just to try it because I normally have straight nails and I wanted to do something different. 

My hair was done by one of my friends, the lovely Jens Vriamont. If you want to get a lovely beachwave of We-heart-it/tumblr-curls, this is your guy! He did my hair in one of my previous posts as well (read Project "Hair"). 

 

And ofcourse, I ordered my dress a month early. I got this dress at Boohoo.com. You can't see it in these pictures but it's all black, it has a really deep V-neck but I had my mom stitch it up a bit because for me it was a bit too much. And the back are crossed leather straps with studs on them.

 

I organised my small party at Wijnhuis Vinhmm... in Herentals. It's a small winebar located in the citycenter of Herentals. They have a winecellar where you can give small parties or meetings for 4 to 15 people, which was perfect for me. To top it all off, they have a gin named "Sharish" and at my party I served wine from South Africa named "Van Loveren" I know that my name is spelled with 2 o's but hey, I think this is pretty cool! I got there a couple of days early just to decorate everything the way I like it and this is the result:

 

 

 

 

I want to thank all my friends who were there to join me at my birthdayparty, I really feel blessed to have you all by my side. A big thank you for all the lovely presents which you guys brought, you are the best!

 

& Oh yeah, I blew the candles on my cake all at once, hope my wish will come true! 

Love

Sunny side up

The reason why today's post is called "sunny side up" is the following: it's December 8, it's wintertime. I should be wearing cosy sweaters, big coats, a scarf, gloves and uggs. I haven't worn any of those just yet. I still manage to go to work without a coat. And I'm still wearing my sunglasses almost every day. I am not complaining!

You see, I have two types of clothing. I like summer, because I always wear pretty clothes, nice dresses, cute little tops,... all very colourful things. And then there's winter. During winter I mostly wear black, it just fits me. But, I think I had a throwback to summer with my outfit today. Let's have a look. 
 

Sunglasses: Rayban

Blouse: Pimkie

Bernadette: Coccas Noorderwijk

Pochette: Louis Vuitton

Jeans: Pimkie

Shoes: Nike Force

 

I bought these pants in two different colours. I really love the fact that they're just above my ancles. I like to wear my Nike Force sneakers to work just because my feet don't hurt in them but take care when I take them off, the smell is overwhelming hahahah (maybe a bit too honest). 

I also got people believing I got a new tattoo yesterday. I'm having a small get together for my birthday in a couple of days and I don't want to wear accessories. Instead I want to have some fake tattoos. I tried one yesterday, took a picture of it and put it on Facebook. I immediately got so many comments of people asking me if I got a new tattoo. Right after I got those comments, I put an extra caption on the picture saying:

"Just another confirmation that people only tend to see what they want to see. They see a picture of someone smiling and immediately think that person is happy. They see a picture of a happy couple but they don't know the guy is cheating. They see a girl posing half naked for a picture and they call her cheap. The tattoo isn't real, it's just a sticker. Look behind the surface, you'll be surprised of how reality really looks like."

Think about it.
