Event: RIVER ISLAND Amsterdam Re-Launch Party ❤

Heey lovies,

Yesterday on my last free Friday before college starts again, I decided to wake up early and travel to Amsterdam for the RIVER ISLAND exclusive re-launch party. For the first 100 people in line at 10:00, RI gave out special surprise vouchers worth up to €200! So ofcourse, I wanted to be within the first 100 in line, because there is just nothing better than free shopping money. But I was so surprised when I arrived at the store, because there were no less than 10 people in front of me lol. Secretly I was hoping for a €50 or up- gift voucher, because I really wanted to get the white €70 Jeffrey Campbell Scully look-a-likes! But since my voucher was worth €20, I had to settle for something less. But even so, I was still very content! See my purchase at the bottom!

The actual party didn't start until 16:00 that afternoon, and I was totally planning on sticking around for the hours remaining because I really wanted to meet Negin Mirsalehi who was hosting. But I wasn't feeling so well, so I decided it was better to just go back home. But not before, I snapped a few in-store shots.

My Fall 2014 Shoes Wishlist ❤

Hello lovelies! Technically it's still summer, but looking outside my window I could swear fall has arrived early this year in the Netherlands. No bueno! But what I am excited for this new season are the many shoes collection that are (coming) out right now. I love me some happy feet, so you know I gotta have my wishlist ready!

You can't ever go wrong with boots in the fall, I mean the whole reason this season even exists is for you to wear boots lol. They are definitely my go-to shoes for school or just a day of fun!

In love love love with the cleated sole trend lately ( I have one coming my way very soon ^_^ ), so they definitely made it onto my wishlist this time!

I love cut-outs for fall because the weather is not too cold outside to wear these. And for chilly days & nights, it's the perfect shoe to show off your frilly socks. Or do it like me and rock some awesome fishnet socks! 

What's on your shoes wishlist for this season?!

BACK2SCHOOL SERIES: 5 Outfits with 5 Items ❤

Hello lovelies! August is here and whether we like it or not, going back to school next month is already haunting our thoughts. The most exciting thing for me about going back to school is not actually going back to school, but getting ready to go back to school. Meaning: shopping for new clothes and supplies! In these BACK2SCHOOL series posts, I'll be giving tips on creating casual but stylish school outfits, DIY ideas for cute school supplies and more. Hope you're as excited as I am!

With a few key basic items [and I made sure they were affordable!], I'm going to show you that you really don't need much to create outfit-variety for the entire week. I chose a basic striped tee with mid-length sleeves. I loved the simplicity of it and the cropped hemline. I find a great denim jean a must and opted for a skinny slit-knee version. And an item that can really create variety is definitely an oversized checked shirt! I also opted for a vintage-feel oversized denim jacket and a brown fake leather bag that is sturdy and big enough to use as a book bag. 

Monday: You're super tired from your fun weekend and want to sleep in as much as possible before heading to class. That's why I chose for simple! Comfy but still well-put together. 

Striped top | Denim pants | Mirrored sunglasses | Brown bag | Floral shoes

Tuesday: Swap your simple top for a fun (check out the back on this one!) checked shirt, wrap a statement belt around the loops of your favorite pants and hop into some comfy hi-tops. 

Checked shirt | Denim pants | Gem belt | Brown bag | Hi-top shoes

Wednesday: Do some serious time traveling back to the past era with this denim jacket and neon shoes. Unbutton the jack so that just a few hints of the top is revealed.

Thursday: Create an interesting look by wearing the checked shirt under the cropped top. Roll up the long sleeves and make a cute little knot in the front with the excess of the checked shirt. Complete this very feminine look with a high bun and this clip-in bows.

Friday: Prepare for a new weekend with this layered look! Instead of wearing a denim jacket in the most common way, switch it up a bit by wearing a checked shirt over your trusty jacket. Both unbuttoned ofcourse. It'll look like your shirt has some cool denim trimming. Go all out with a fun cap to match your fun personality!

I would love to know what your five essentials are for back-to-school outfits! And let me know what your favorite outfit was! :) <3

My Favorite Summer Lipsticks ❤

Hello lovelies! I've been wanting to expand my lipstick collection for some time now, since I find myself to be more of a lipstick girl rather than a lipgloss girl. Recently I bought a few shades that I've been wearing so much lately. And I thought I show them to you, because I think they are just so lovely.

So these are my six go-to shades for now and they are the ETOS Color Care Lipstick in 114 €2,94 (1), Miss Sporty Perfect Color Lipstick in 038 I LOVE €1,99 (2), Lanvin ❤ H&M (3), NYX in LSS623 Heather (4), Miss Sporty Perfect Color Lipstick in 022 BB NUDE €1,99 (5) and ETOS Color Care Lipstick in 109 €2,94 (6)

Can you spot my blue-ish hair on the left picture? Haha. These two pictures are overloaded with filters so it might be a little difficult to notice, but I'm wearing the ETOS 109 plum lipstick on the left one and the ETOS 114 bright orange lipstick on the right picture. Ofcourse in natural day light, the shades are a lot more pigmented.

What are your favorite summer lipstick shades at the moment?

New In: Tropical prints, #FASHIONCODE & more ❤

Hi lovelies! Out of a little Saturday boredom me and my friend ended up in the city yesterday afternoon and decided to have a look in some of our favorite stores. I never intentionally leave the house with the mindset of spending money on clothes. But hey if such a moment occurs, I always just roll with it lol. But just like all my other hauls, I just "had to have" all of these! ❤__❤

The first two items I got at ZARA. And if it wasn't for a gift card I hadn't used up yet, I totally would have missed out on these, cause I actually never go into Zara... #truestory. But nevertheless, I am drooling over these gorgeous shorts that were on sale and this awesome-ass clutch!
