Day 4 of my vacation to Corsica

2009-07-24T14:19:00.002+02:00

All of these pictures were taken in Ajaccio, did you know Napoleon was born there??

Well Hi there

2009-07-20T15:31:00.006+02:00

I'm back from my vacation to Corsica and I can say that it's über-beautiful there :). There are lakes, mountains, rivers, forest (for all the nature-loving people who love hiking and stuff like that); and then you've got the seaside, with a calm see one day and huge waves the other.

I've taken so much pictures, so it won't be possible to put them all in one post.
Right now I'll just start with day 1: the flight and some first looks.
On the airplane I was sitting right next to the engines, so I thought why not make 'em work as a piece of the picture itself

In two days I'm taking the airplane to Corfu for a vacation. To get in the mood, I've posted these pictures from the July edition of Harper's Bazaar.

Summerstyle: Nicole Richie

2009-06-29T11:41:00.000+02:00

Oh how I love Nicole Richie for her laid back boho/hippy -sort of- style. This is the style I want for summer, when I'm going to Corsica (actually in about 1 week). Loads of sunglasses, scarves in my hair and loose flowing t-shirts and dresses. I'm so looking forward to it !!

These are my favorite pictures:

We're back !!!

2009-06-26T22:06:00.001+02:00

Well today we had our last exam and now it's vacation time!! so we celebrated that by having lunch,milkshakes and catching a movie.. We had to de-stress and so we did :)

Hope all of you have an adventurous vacation filled with joy and happy moments, live your life to the fullest. And most of all, share your adventures.
Love

Doc Martens

2009-05-05T20:51:00.000+02:00

Lately I've been wanting some doc martens boots very bad..
Wouldn't you want to run around town looking like this?

I almost bought the 7-eyed light pink ones ..

But look what I found hiding in my closet -- 14-eye doc m boots with zippers -- I just had to put them on right away (sorry for the bad quality of the pictures)..

I will post some outfits with them soon !

Belgian Fashion

2009-05-02T17:54:00.000+02:00

These are clothes of Ti+Hann, a Belgian clothing brand. I like the dresses and high wasted skirts. And lucky for me, there's a temporary shop in Antwerp. Now all I need is some money...

Magical *

2009-04-26T20:47:00.000+02:00

I went to see The Swanlake by the Ballet of Flanders yesterday and magical is just about the word that describes the whole show.
The music was composed by Pjotr Tsjaikovski and the 'Philharmonic Orchestra' played everything live.

Marcia Haydee was the wonderfull woman who did the choreography.
The dancer that I was most intrigued by, Alain Honorez, played the bad guy: Rothbart (somehow I always feel more related to the bad characters). He danced almost non-human, like a creature from another world. Oh how I love the ballet !! :)

Picture perfect

2009-04-24T19:42:00.000+02:00

Aren't these pictures by Jack Siegel amazing? I love how colorful they are. They're just perfect. I like the bag of the last girl, and I'm definitely buying me a pair of wayfarer sunglasses! It's about time... Enjoy your weekend!

Other side of a model: the apartment of Daria Werbowy

2009-04-22T18:53:00.000+02:00

One of my favourite models of all time !!

She seems such a down to earth girl.. && a natural beauty.
I first saw her in an add for Chanel, I just loved that picture from the first time I saw it.. so why don't I share it with you ...

And this is what her apartment looks like (as seen in Glamour and Vogue Italia) :

Partypics by elke ;)

2009-04-18T17:03:00.000+02:00

I went to Antwerp with some friends this thursday night. And one of them (Elke) was obsessed with the camera.. And this is the result :)

What do you think??

运动鞋

2009-04-18T12:10:00.000+02:00

My luck is on the rise! I just got a great haircut, my friends are planning a party for me next week, I just ordered my holiday to Greece this summer, and I past my theoretical exam so I can finally learn how to drive a car! If that's not enough, I found some great pair of Chinese sneakers!! They're called Shan Dongs, it means East of the Mountain. They were originally made in the Sixties, but when a photographer visited the little Shan Dong Factory in China he decided to export the shoes outside China! And best of all, for me though :), is that they are for sale in Brussels, Belgium! I want the pink ones...

Knee-high

2009-04-17T13:13:00.000+02:00

What would you do with kneehigh socks?

My Maastricht buys

2009-04-12T22:13:00.000+02:00

I saw these shoes like a month ago in 'Elle Belgium' and I wanted them so bad.. So when I spotted them in a store in Maastricht I needn't think twice :)

This little light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine !

Want an orange tan?

2009-04-11T12:03:00.000+02:00

Believe it or not, Lindsay Lohan is selling her own spray tan on the market. She wants something that doesn't make you look like an orange. I think she looked better before she painted herself orange. And her hair was so much more beautiful when it was blond!

There's something different in the air around me, but it feels so familiar..

2009-04-06T19:11:00.000+02:00

I slept late this morning, and stayed home for the rest of the day.
But I needed to rest. Especially because tomorrow I'll be shopping in the Netherlands. Besides with lots of clothes I'll be coming home with lots of liquorice sweets. No better place to find such sweets than in the Netherlands.
I'll make sure to post the things I've bought when I'm back..

p.s. noticed I'm wearing my ripped jeans? ;)

It's written on the wind, It's everywhere I go...

2009-04-05T23:09:00.000+02:00

Springbreak !!!

Time to just hang around with friends, sit outside, feeling careless and free !

I'm looking forward to eating icecreams and more beautiful weather..

What do you normally do during springbreak?

Kitsch

2009-03-29T18:09:00.000+02:00

Isn't this bathing suit great?? This is a piece from the collection of Jean-Paul Lespagnard (He's Belgian!) for 1.2.3. The collection is really kitsch and I love it, although I'm not sure if I would dare to wear this :)

When summertimes come..

2009-03-23T20:17:00.000+01:00

I've always loved Greece for its food, weather and language..
But no one would ever link Greece to fashion. Those people probably have never heard of Sophia Kokosalaki, a Greek fashion designer who has her own label based in London.Her spring/summer collection for 2009 is to die for.
Also take a closer look at her shoes at www.sophiakokosalaki.com Fabulous.. I want all of them !

Flowers...

2009-03-23T18:52:00.000+01:00

Spring is there, so it's time for flowers! these hairpieces from ban.do are so cute :), don't you think? The company started in 2008 and they sell great hairpieces, and this belt.

These things happen sometimes...

2009-03-18T19:55:00.000+01:00

Love these pictures taken by Chad Moore. He's a great photographer. And I like the green nailpolish of the girl on the last photo :)

see all his pictures on his website: www.thesethingshappensometimes.com

So sweet, I can smell spring

2009-03-17T15:40:00.000+01:00

You know when it's spring, and there's a certain kind of smell in the air.. It gives you a certain kind of feeling, like you can do anything. Well for me, this add expresses that feeling. I love it!

The new 'Miss Dior Cherie' ad, directed by Sofia Coppola. This is the long version (director cut).
Song by Brigitte Bardot: 'Moi je joue'

I want it Platinum

2009-03-16T19:03:00.000+01:00

I'm currently obsessed with platinum blonde, short hair. Like Agyness Deyn and singer Robyn.

Although I do not dare to cut my hair that short, I would love to dye it that blonde..

What are your thoughts? Do you like their haircolor?

spring products

2009-03-15T20:03:00.000+01:00

These are my favorite products of Lush. The lipbalsem is delicious, great for kisses :)!

The conditioner makes your hair look healthy and makes it smell like vanilla.

Girl, what have you done? You've ripped your jeans !! Totally !

2009-03-11T20:54:00.000+01:00

My first DIYproject >if we don't count the first time I tried to rip my pants a couple of years ago.. my jeans came out with just two cuts right on the knees< But this time it turned out much better.
First I started cutting my jeans with a knife, then roughened up the edges.
Then I bleached my jeans and started cutting again :).
The last thing I did was wash my jeans, because then the cuts get even rougher..
So here's what it looks like

I'll make sure to post some outfit's with this 'amazing ripped jeans :)' very soon.

Designers Jeans

2009-03-10T20:02:00.000+01:00

I love this piece from the new collection of Designers Remix

Once upon a time ..

2009-03-08T12:04:00.000+01:00

It's kinda funny. In Belgium the sun is shining right now, but I can only think of the time when it was snowing.. It was so beautiful &the snow stayed on the ground for days - MAGIC !!
Here is one of the pictures took during the snow. Just to make you dream of winter again :).. (my dog even posed for me, isn't he cute?)

And another thing I'm obsessed with these days are 'pink nails' !! I didn't have time yet to paint mine, but one of these days, I'm going pink !

Diana

2009-03-04T14:14:00.001+01:00

I took these pictures with my Diana. It's such a lovely camera. Sorry for the crappy quality :p

Our first sunny sunday of the year...

2009-03-01T11:52:00.001+01:00

Finally, the sun is shining again in Belgium. This makes me dream of summer... Having a BBQ, wearing cool glasses, running through a green field, going on a holiday, wearing that new summerdress, drinking tequila, taking pictures, partying outdoors, ...

Everything is more beautiful in the summer

2009-02-26T19:34:00.000+01:00

These new shades of Chanel are truly a piece of art. If you can wear them without walking against something, I don't know. But what I do know, is that I WANT IT!

Summer I NEED you !!

2009-02-25T20:34:00.000+01:00

&& Gucci, you too ! (s/s 09)

Why is it so darn cold in Belgium ??

In ONE - Piece

2009-02-22T20:50:00.001+01:00

My little sister came home with this purple body a few days ago, she used it for her outfit on carnaval.. But actually it was too big for her, so why should'nt I try it on for once?

You can even pair it so you can wear it to town..

Maybe I should buy one myself??

My tribute to Barbie

2009-02-21T16:50:00.000+01:00

We all know Barbie.. She was one of our closest friends when we were young. We could play with her for hours, and she knew all our secrets.

In honour of her 50th birthday, there was a 'Barbie runway show' at fashion week in New York.

But I still haven't paid tribute to her..
So here goes !!

Alexa Chung

2009-02-20T19:19:00.000+01:00

Alexa Chung, British TV presenter and former model, has a great laid back style. It's simple, casual and easy yet fashionable. You want to see more pictures of her? go to www.elleuk.com where I got these pictures from and get inspired!

Romance in London

2009-02-18T14:24:00.001+01:00

London covered with snow! Isn't it romantic? These are pictures taken two weeks ago. Although it was so beautiful to see, London was chaos. But it was all worth it...

I'm so in love with Balmain's collections, as you might have noticed in one of my previous posts (the one with the balmain studded sandals)..
The outfits can be paired with all the shoes underneath..
In every outfit there is an item from Balmain, can you guess which ones?

Last Week's Buys

2009-02-15T12:30:00.000+01:00

I bought the necklace at Urban Outfitters in Antwerp. I can put a picture in it, but I won't tell who! The dress with the squares is from Insight and I bought it yesterday in Brussels. The bag I bought also at Urban Outfitters and the last piece is from Topshop. Let me know what you think!

Goodmorning Sunday

2009-02-15T10:11:00.001+01:00

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend. And if not, make the best of today !! Whether you sleep long or get up early, just make sure that you do (all the) things you like.

Have a happy sunday :)

xoxo

New Bracelets, happy face

2009-02-14T21:42:00.000+01:00

Got myself some new bracelets, €0,50 each.

Aren't they pretty? I think they look kinda Moroccan, Indian..

Friday Afternoon

2009-02-14T00:16:00.000+01:00

Just a silly afternoon..

Taking pictures, drinking latte's :)

Look-a-like for less

2009-02-12T21:43:00.000+01:00

I went to Amsterdam last weekend, and look what I saw in the window of ZARA..

These sandals look very BALMAIN-ish.
Of course they aren't as beautiful as the real thing, but if you don't want to pay that much money and you'll set for something similar these ones from ZARA could be very good alternative.

The real deal - Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain

2009-02-11T19:45:00.000+01:00

Rachael Yamagata, that's the name of this wonderful stylish artist who makes amazing songs. Her cd "Elephants...Teeth sinking into heart", it was out in August 2008, is a piece of fine porcelain with rough edges. Her voice in the song "elephants" is so delicate and the lyrics are great. Also "Sunday afternoon" is nice to the ears. Of her previous cd "Happenstance", you should definitely listen to the track "Reason Why".

Besides a great voice, she also has a great style of clothes. Don't you want this hat too?? And of course that long brown hair of hers..

Start something new

2009-02-10T19:38:00.000+01:00

Our week vacation after our (long lasting) exams is over..so back to uni now. But also time for new fun projects, like a new blog :).

It's time to make a little effort and just do your thing !

XOXO
