Stylish & Affordable Festive Fashion Picks ❤

Heey lovies!

We've now reached the last and most festive month of the year, which means it's probably our most expensive month as well. With so many holidays and celebrations coming up, we tend to spend way more on our outfits than we would want too. But looking like a million bucks certainly doesn't have to cost half that much! Which is why today I'm showing you some of my personal festive fashion picks that are budget-proof for any wallet! 

Red and gold are my favorite colors for the Holiday seasons and it just so happens that these two colors are literally everywhere. Get the look: glitter clutch | co-ord top | co-ord skirt | flare dress | platform stilettos | beaded necklace 

Another festive color duo is definitely blue and white/silver. Get the look: glitter bodycon dress | mini dress | sequin playsuit | satin cuff sandal | crop top | chain necklace

Needless to say, the black/golden combination is totally necessary. Get the look: bodycon dress | co-ord top | co-ord skirt | sequin crop top | knitted skirt | glitter sandal | box clutch (similar)

What do you think of my picks? I love how all of them look so fancy, but still got an affordable price tag. I definitely can't choose a favorite, but maybe you can? I would love to hear it.

Trend Report Fall 2014: Metallics ❤

Heey lovelies,

One trend that I feel keeps coming back every fall are the dazzling Metallics. They are quite the item to transition rightfully into this new season. There is just something so edgy and bad-ass about wearing somewhat of a metallic look. Whether you accentuate this trend on your nails, a purse or a skirt: coolness guaranteed! What's fun about playing around with metallics, is that you can create a daytime look by dressing it down, or switch it to super chic by dressing it up.

After Pinterest fueled my metallics craving, I went on a hunt to find the most fashionable metallic pieces that would make a great addition to one's fall wardrobe. I scored big time! 

GOLD METALLICS

Crop top - Sweatshirt - Bomber Jacket - Mini skirt - Ankle boots 

Gold will forever be one of my favorite colors. It's just one of those colors that looks good and classy enough for any occasion. 

New In: Gold Leaf LA MODA Faux Septum Ring ❤

Heey lovies,

Ever since this year's summer first started, when I kept seeing some dope ass females on instagram wearing septum rings, I had this urge to try it out too. But with my fear of needles in the back of my mind, I went on a hunt for some faux septum rings. Didn't have much luck until I discovered that LA MODA had a small selection of faux gold and silver rings.  The faux ones are just £4,99 each! I just love how they have a real boho chic but also bad ass feel to them.

The first time around they were sold out before I had a chance to order them. But now that they got restocked again I took my chance. I ordered mine last Saturday and now one week later my package arrived from the UK. I was so excited to try them on and see if such a daring ring would suit my face. And if they didn't, well at least I didn't poke a hole in my nose haha. It took me a while to adjust the ring to a fit where it didn't constantly fall off, but here's how it looks.

My Entire Shoe Collection (HEELS Only) ❤

          HELLO LOVELY READERS

On facebook I asked if you wanted to see my entire shoe collection and your wish is my command. But because I have waaay more heels than any other type of shoes, I decided to just show my heels.. for now. In the past couple of months I have donated a lotttt of pairs of shoes that I knew I wasn't going to wear anymore, and I've also thrown away a few because they were torn beyond repair. So, these are the ones I was left with it.. I personally don't think I have a lot of heels.. at all! :P

Touch of Gold: Diewilikhebben Sandals ❤

     HELLO LOVELY READERS

A couple of months ago I received some gold heeled sandals from DieWilIkHebben and it completely crossed my mind that I haven't really shown you guys on-pictures of them yet. So when I wore the shoes a couple of days ago, I made sure to take some pictures for the blog. Butt.... the  most unfortunate thing just happened, as the pictures accidentally got deleted off of my camera :( So I had to do some quick improvising and snapped these pictures. 

No my camera isn't broken, I just really like this effect lol

Even though I am obsessed with shoes, I generally do not like feet and toes lol. That is why I'm really liking the strapped-all-over heels lately. Because they cover your feet so nicely and make them look kind of elegant. And all though I'm more used to wearing thicker heels, these did not really tire me as I initially thought they would. And as you can (hopefully) see in the pictures, the shoes have a double strap at the ankles as well which prevented my feet from slipping as I walked. These are just my second pair of Diewilikhebben.com shoes, but hopefully I'll be rocking more of their shoes in this upcoming summer! But of course, you can rock their shoes all year round! Aaaand DWIH has also just launched their newest product, the SHOECANDY! So definitely stay tuned for more of that on my blog soon. 

Oh, and the nail polish I'm wearing on my toes are the HEMA Long Lasting Polish in the mint green color 842. Just in case anyone was wondering...

Thanks so much again Agnes! :D

My Favorite Fall/Winter Color Combinations ❤

Working in a big warehouse, browsing a lot on online shops and reading my daily dose of fashion blogs have definitely made me aware of all the new trendy colors and color combinations for this new season. I do have a few favorites and that's what I'm sharing with you today. 

 What are your favorite colors/color combinations for this season?

New In: Gold Spikes & Burgundy ❤

Since today was my little brother's last day in Curacao before he leaves back to USA tomorrow, me, my mom and my brothers decided to hit up the city and do a little (school) shopping. My brothers both scored with some clothing, jewelry and some really geeky glasses. And I bought three very cute tops, which I will show in another blogpost, and I also got shoes..AGAIN :D:D I could have never guessed Curacao had so many lovely shoes from what I can remember, but they really surprised me. Most of them I haven't even seen in Holland yet!

I love Qupid shoes!

These babies were from Graficos (Otrobanda, Curacao). They have amazing shoesssssss! My mom usually hates spikes on everything, but she really liked this one. I wanted to buy another pair as well, which was breathtaking. But with a price of 119 guilders, I wasn't really thrilled to spend it on one pair of shoes.

Trend: Spike Bracelets ❤

Ever since I blogged about arm candy, there is a particular bracelet I have been loving endlessly: the Spike Bracelets. It's so edgy and can look fun at the same time. I definitely want one in gold and silver!

 I found a few places (in Holland) where I've seen them. My-Jewellery, WomansRevolution and Inmydresser sells them in silver and gold...yaay for me! Hopefully I can get them pretty soon. Asos also sells the single rows bracelets in a few different colors. I especially love the pink and the blue one!

Gold and Purple Catrice ❤

For the ones that follow me on twitter, might have noticed a couple of tweets about me finally finding a job. I'm very excited to start working, but I most excited about the extra shopping money I'll earn.. lol
Yesterday was my "first" day at work, where we got a lot of training to really master every skill needed (I started working at this catering business, so you'll need to know how to serve multiple plates, how to pour wine etc.. very fun, but hard work!)
There is one thing I don't like about it though.. the ladies are not allowed to wear nail polish.
I mean it's understandable why not, but I still don't like that rule.

Especially now, that I'm seeing and buying all these pretty colors. Yesterday I bought two from Catrice..and they're gorgeoussssss!! I couldn't help but put them on, just to show you.
On my left hand I have the Catrice, Ultimate Nail Lacquer in the color: 460 In the Bronx.

And on my right hand I have the Catrice, Ultimate Nail Lacquer in the color: 380 Forget - Me - Not!

Personally I love the purple one better..especially in daylight, the color really pops out! They were both €2,49 at Kruidvat.

I know my pictures don't always show the colors in the right quality, but I hope you can still get a good view! Do you buy your nail polishes at Kruidvat as well? Which one did you buy recently?
