Hatty birthday

What's up sleepyheads,

I hope you are all doing just fine? Is this weather cold enough for you? I know it shouldn't get any colder for me, I'm literally freezing! I'm going to do a little throwback on an outfit from a couple of weeks ago because it's too cold to be posing in a tshirt right now you know...



In my previous post, I told you about my early birthday gift from my boss, right? If your answer is not "yes", then go read it right now!!

Sooo, welcome back ;) now that you know about my birthdaypresent, I want to tell you a bit more about it.




Blissful Tris was founded by a wonderful lady named Patricia. She has a what we call "boho-chic" style. She would even look good in a plastic bag, you know, that type of people. She organised a 2-day market to introduce her products (must-haves) to everyone. The cute little market was held at Wijnhuis Vinhmm here in my hometown.

Everything was installed on the terrace so you didn't just get to see a shop, you also got sort of an experience, let's call it a feeling, due to the cozy atmosphere which came with the terrace. She brought everything: pillows, sheepskins, candle lights, jewelry, woodpixels, clothes, headbands,... everything you can think of when someone says "boho".

Aaanndddd she also brought these hats. My head is quite round and thick, I might even call it chubby (don't laugh) so I look quite good with a hat (if I may say so myself). I became instantly in love with this black beauty and so my boss bought it as a let's say 60-days-too-early-birthdaypresent. I was really happy with it and I'm wearing it quite often I must say.

This is Patricia on the picture. Do you know what I mean now with boho-chic and that she would look good in just anything? Now that we got that cleared out... If you are interestes in throwing a home party from Blissful Tris yourself, you can always contact her through Instagram (@blissful_tris). Remember, Christmas is just around the corner, if you need a special gift... my birthday is right around the corner too by the way ;)




I'm also wearing my tshirt from Pull & Bear, which is cut out on my shoulders (really cool, obviously). The sparkling pants are from Calzedonia. They're leggings and I love to wear them, they just leave a little sparkle everywhere (for real...). The boots are Zara and the jacket is from Forever21.



PS: what do you guys think of my hair on the pictures? This is my natural hair, without extensions. I got my extensions back in a couple of weeks ago but I had a little Britney Spears moment last week and I cut my extensions to the same length as my natural hair. I'm still going to have them in for about 2 months but I have my doubts if I would want extensions again after... Let me know!

Love,

Furry Sundays

Hey boys & girls, 

It's been a while since I blogged and I feel quite guilty about it. That's why I made a promise to myself: from now on, I'm going to dedicate my Sundays to at least one blogpost, starting today. 

I don't know if you have noticed but the days have become more chilly than last week. Like seriously, I need to scratch the ice of my car every morning and I'm not liking it! 

So today was the day I got my fox fur out of the closet again. I know a lot of people have an opinion about this coat, either positive or negative. But, I really don't want to start the discussion on that topic.  I love my fur coat and it's so warm and fuzzy, perfect for these temperatures (and worse). 

I don't know if you joined in on some "Black Friday"-shopping last week but I couldn't resist. I bought these new booties and these necklaces at Forever21. I'm still sad that the store was closed down in Antwerp, but thank God for online shopping! 

I topped the outfit with some jeans I ripped and cut off myself from Zara. And I also couldn't resist the sparkling black little v-neck from H&M which was on sale as well (I'm a great saleshopper btw). The hat is from Blissful Tris, an early birthday gift from my boss. Blissful Tris has some really nice boho-inspired stuff and you can invite her for homeparties, go find her on Instagram! 

I don't know if you have noticed, but I'm wearing glasses on the pictures. I've been having really bad headaches for the last couple of months and I think it might be from sitting behind my desk/computer all day. So I went to Hans Anders to get my sight measured up and they provided me with not one, but two glasses who measured up to my needs. I do feel like I'm a nerd now but if it will help me with my headaches, I will be so thankful! 

Enjoy your evening and don't forget to place your shoe next to the fireplace, it's almost Sinterklaas' birthday!!

PS, only 27 days until mine yaaayyy

Kisses, 

Charis 

Bordeaux bitches

What's uuuuppp...

I got out of bed with the wrong leg this morning I guess... It really wasn't my day so I need something to look back to. Why not do a little throwback to my Bordeaux times! 

As some of you might know, I've been to Bordeaux for 2 weeks last year to visit my wonderful friend Frankiiieee. She was studying there and I just had to visit her you know! 

So, for our French course, we had to visit a city in France which we could choose ourselves. First we had to make small groups and then I suggested to go to Bordeaux. We were a group of 5 and everyone agreed on the city of the wonderful wines! And thank God, we got it! So we booked our trip from 5 - 10 June and I was more than ready for it! 

 

Sooo my mom dropped me off at the airport and I was packed and ready to go! 

We arrived around noon and we were so hungry! I knew my way around town and I knew where I had to be to get some good food so we went for thai food on the first day. Always a good idea!  

 

  

 

That evening I also passed Frankie's mansion when she was studying there. Seriously, I couldn't help but smile at that place, the things that happened there. I would like to tell you about it but what happens in Bordeaux...

 

 

 For our French course we had to visit some companies and it was quite nice to explore the city in another way. But there were days when we only had half an hour to eat and I used it to go shopping, ofcourse...

We had to visit 4 companies and 1 school and we had to compare them with Belgian enterprises. The company that I loved the most was Maison Sichel. Yes, you've guessed it, wine!

Bordeaux is such a nice city to visit! It was also quite crowded this time because of the European Championship of football. The streets were all filled with footballfans so the atmosphere was so nice!

We also had a day off the day and the weather was good so we decided to go to Arcachon beach! Sun, sea, girlfriends and cocktails. Is there anything better?  

 

 

 



 I really can't help but to be in love with this city. My French isn't even that good but I would go there anytime! 

PS: we passed our French course!

Bisous
