Glitz & glam

It's the moooost wonderful tiiiimeee, of the yeeeaaaarrr! 

And what's the thing that is so typical for the holidays? Yes, glitterzzzzz, including the new, awesome pants I bought last week! 

So what happened was, I got to school to meet up with my group for French and there's this awesome blondie in my team Lisa Pauwels. If there's one person who's closet I want to own it's definitely hers. She knows what to buy and how to combine her clothes.

 

But the core of this story: Lisa was wearing these awesome glitter joggingpants from H&M. They were really cheap and they looked so comfy and I just knew I needed them! So under our little lunchbreak, I went to H&M, you need to be impulsive sometimes. Look at my amazing holiday outfit: 

 

Sunglasses: Rayban

Necklace: Forever 21

Top: H&M

Leather jacket: Forever 21

Pants: H&M

Shoes: Adidas

 

The only thing you need to make sure is that you first try the pants on before buying them. Me and Lisa as well got ourselves a size smaller than we normally have. Just because these are joggingpants and they stretch.



There's also a sweater available in the same fabric & colour so get you ass off that couch and get to the nearest H&M store to get these beauties!

Project "Hair"

Today I want to talk to you about something I got addicted to, but is it a good addiction or not, you decide. 

So a couple of years ago, me and a friend were talking about extensions. I really liked the idea of having very long hair and not having to wait for it. So a couple of weeks later I got my first clips. They were really cheap but I just bought them to see how it would look on me, the colour wasn't even the same. 

I started to do some research and I found out that there was something called "a weave". It means that they make little braids in your hair and they put the extensions on them. I decided to get them. It wasn't pretty at all! I got the wrong type of haircolour and the woman who put them in, did 3 layers on one braid. This meant that my hear looked really thick and not natural at all! I kept them in for 3 weeks maybe and then I got them out with a fork... My own hair was still quite okay but I did feel that it became less thick. 

So a couple months after that I bought new clips. The colour was the same as my own hair and the quality of the hair itself was really good. But when you wear clips, it takes you a lifetime to put them in and I don't really have thick hair so you see them most of the time. 

There was a new hairsalon in town and they did weaves as well. I was quite insecure about it at first but the girl guaranteed me she wouldn't make my hair look thick. So I just got with it. She told me it would cost me about 350 euro and I was ok with that. She took a picture from my own hair so that she would know which colour to buy (that's not normal, I know). A couple days later I went to the salon and got my new hair. I was really happy with it at first! Look at these pretty curles! 

I was so happy with my hair until I got to the register. The girl who did my hair suddenly changed her mind about the price we arranged. She asked me 500 euro in total. I couldn't do anything about it so I just paid it. She guaranteed me that I could use this hair for a lifetime and that this was the reason the price increased soooo much. 3 weeks later my braids were falling out and I had to get my extensions out again. I noticed some bald spots at the place where they started. I went nuts!

I still wanted to have long hair but what were my options? I started to talk to my friends about it whom had some experience with extensions. That's how I got to know Melissa Dams. She uses the extensions of Great Hair. These are extensions which come from Italy or India. She has been placing extensions for a couple of years now so I trusted my hair to her. 
First I had to go to her place to see which colour she had to order. She told me she wanted to use 2 colours, one blonde and one a bit more brown. I let her do her thing and a couple of days after I had my appointment. I was so happy! I had them in for 4 months. The quality of the hair is excellent! And when I got them out, my hair was still the same as before! This girl really made my summer!

This picture was taken right after the first time I got my Great Hair extensions. As you can see the colour is exactly the same as my own haircolour thanks to the professional approach of Melissa.



What I love about Great Hair is that when you wash them, they have like a beachwave. I think this looks really natural and messy at the same time, I love it!





These last 2 pictures are taken a couple of days ago. These are my new extensions, ready for another 4 monts at least! If you want to know more about my experiences with these extensions, don't hesitate to contact me, I will tell you all about it! Make sure to check their website as well: www.greathairextensions.nl

I know someone who's gonna look great during the holidays...

Where does the money go?

To my newest wallet from Paul's Boutique oh yeeaahhhh!!

There are certain things which I don't buy very often but I do realise I really need them, like a wallet... I bought the red one when I was at Topshop London in 2011. I didn't use or buy any other wallet since then.  

 

I had this wallet for 4 years and it doesn't have any sentimental value but then again, I wouldn't want to trade it for any other wallet! The thing about this one is that it has so many places to store your cards, it's unreal! 

 

  

I searched for so long for the right wallet to fit all my cards in, but I really couldn't find it. I knew that this one was out of stock in every shop! Butttt, apparently I'm a lucky girl and I found the same one but in a different colour. You don't have to ask me twice, ofcourse I bought it! 

This wallet comes in different colours: the bronze which I have now, the red which I had and also a black one. If I could, I would buy them all! Maybe I should keep looking for them since this is thé one! 

Talk to you soon
