New In: Primark Over the Knee / Thigh High Boots ❤

Heey lovelies,

Yes, another new-shoes-in post! :) After failing to find black over-the-knee boots of my size at the new Primark in Rotterdam Zuidplein last Thursday, I decided to try my luck at the one in Zoetermeer the next day. And there they were, these perfect size 3 black gems just hanging there waiting for me to grab them. At first I wasn't too sure if I should even get them, because I am very petite (read: 4'11") and I didn't want the boots to wear me instead of the other way around. But Dulce Candy does it, so I know I and you if you're petite, can do it too! ♡♡♡♡♡♡

From the quality of my iphone 4s you can tell that it doesn't do these boots justice, but they are pretty amazing. Especially with a price tag of just €24! I can't promise you that they are still available (in your size) at your nearest Primark, but it's definitely worth a visit.

What are your thoughts on knee high/OTK boots for the fall and winter?

Xx

Event: Blogging101 - The Bloggers Academy Workshop ❤

Heey lovies,

Is anyone else super bummed that the weekend has gone by so fast? However I still enjoyed my days off and even attended a bloggers' event on Friday. For a little while now I have been a member of the Blogging101 facebook group. And when the admin Nene Merit (from online magazine Elegancy101) announced she was hosting a special bloggers' workshop, I was so excited. Since I've been blogging for almost 4 years now, I really think it's time to step up my blogging game and (try to) gain a steady income. I still love blogging with a passion and can't even imagine my life as a non-blogger. 

During the event topics like 'how to be an online influencer', 'corporate branding' and 'social media psychology' were discussed. We also got some useful tips and tricks from successful FROMHATSTOHEELS.com blogger Larissa Bruin. And I think her little presentation inspired me the most. Just to see other bloggers doing so well, kind of gives me a push in the back to really get my blog out there. Besides getting me really inspired to start using social media more effectively for my blog, I also had a lot of fun meeting new fellow bloggers: swapping business cards & networking. If you couldn't make it to the event, I want to leave you with a little impression of a fun night. 

It was such a beautiful venue!

New In: Impromptu PRIMARK Fashion Haul ❤

Hello lovelies! A quick haul for you today. Yesterday I spent the entire day with my uncle and cousins and we decided to make a little trip to PRIMARK in Zoetermeer. I wasn't planning on spending too much, because as I mentioned before I didn't want to spend a lot of money on just clothes this summer. But even on a budget I was able to grab some great finds. 

I think this crop top was my only purchase that wasn't on sale, but even so it only costed about €7. 

My favorite item is definitely this two-colored monochrome backpack with a zipper right in the middle. And it was also on sale for €5. I saw this bag right after checking out, so my uncle was nice enough to check this one out for me ^_^

New In: PRIMARK Haul ❤

Heey lovies! I almost neeeever wake up early by myself without an alarm! But when I woke up a little after 8 today, I decided to shower, get dressed and pay a visit to Primark in Zoetermeer. I haven't been there since last October. Surprisingly it wasn't crowded at all, I had no trouble walking around. Primark had so many cute items and I grabbed as much as I could carry back to the fitting rooms. And thank God I did, because almost everything was too big or just didn't fit me right. Such a money-saving bummer!!!! But I did end up with these items and some of them are a TOTAL score!

Like, how cute are these two clutches? So so so so in love with them. And they were just €5 each!

And yuppp, I still can't get enough of gladiator sandals! I thought these were €10, but at the check-out it scanned for just €5! WINNINGGGG.

This cute on-the-go pug thermo mug is perfect for my extreme clumsiness. 

New In: Primark Zoetermeer Haul ❤

I've been praying to the Shopping Gods for a Primark store to open closer to the Hague. I know there's one in Rotterdam Alexander, but it's a bit too far for my quick shopping trip moods. And since the one in the Hague will open until Fall 2014, I was sooo happy to hear there was one opening in Zoetermeer end of October. So ofcourse I wanted to attend to opening. Initially, I wanted to be there when the doors opened. But after seeing pictures of HOW crowded it actually was, I was glad I chose to stay in bed a little longer.

I arrived around 1 o'clock and there was a lot of security, iron fences and still a very long line outside. Inside it was even more crowded. I even heard some people got light-headed and fainted due to the amount of people. Normally I hate shopping in a crowded store, but there was no way I was leaving empty-handed!
