Fashion Wishlist: Minga London ❤

Don't you just love when you finally discover where some of the clothes you've been lusting after on Instagram, are from? I just had one of those moments with the online shop Minga London. And since I haven't shopped online in a little while, I thought it would be fun to make a lust list. I might even a place an order afterwards, who knows? 

These first two sweaters below are my absolute fave and so me! I'm really debating on which one I should get first! I think right now the Princes one is winning. What do you think? I'm also really liking the mermaid shell bathing suits and slogan bodysuits (which could totally pass as swimwear as well). And you can never go wrong with black sweaters, am I right? YAAASS! And as a 90's kid, you know I gotta represent! 

 Internet Princess sweater - Shopping Is My Cardio sweater - YAAASS sweater (sweaters available in more colors) - Mermaid Shell swimsuit - Mermaid Shell swimsuit - Bae Watch bodysuit - Mermaid bodysuit 

Black Is My Happy Color halter top - Bitchin bra top - 1990x Kid crop top - I'm A Lot Cooler On The Internet sweater - All Black sweater (available in more colors)

Now that you've seen my Minga London lust list, which of these items are on yours? Let me know in the comments! And if you're in Europe you're in luck, because Minga offers free EU shipping! Not in the EU? Don't worry, there's also worldwide shipping.

How You & Your Friends Can Become Squad Goals ❤

If you've been somewhat living on social media for the past year (I'm not judging I swear), there's no way the hashtag squadgoals didn't cross your path at least a thousand times. It definitely became a thing after Taylor Swift decided to bring her posse of "Bad Blood" bad girls along to last year's VMAs. Ever since then girls everywhere have been aspiring to become just as fierce as the OG squad and continuously attempt to display just how tight their friendship bond really is, no matter how big or small of a group. 

If you and your friends dream of obtaining that absolute level of 'goals', keep reading because I've gathered tons of cool props and clothing to help you parade your squadness.

Fitspiration: Cute & Affordable Active Wear ❤

The first week of 2016 is officially behind us and I'm proud and impressed that the goals set for this year are still all I think about. If you've read my previous blog post, you know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle was on the list. And even though I have been more cautious of what I eat now and often choose home-cooking over take-out, I still haven't gotten my butt back into the gym just yet!

Fall 2015 Fashion: Grey is the New Black ❤

Grey is such a versatile color when it comes to fashion. I was really into it this past summer, but I love it even more this time of year. It's simplistic, oozes sophistication and is basically the new black in my eyes. I've gathered a few grey items, that I would love to add to my fall wardrobe. I'm especially loving how there are tons of shades to choose from.

The first top items include some everyday platform boots, a cozy "Not your Bae" sweater, a very pretty metallic top and a grid check duster. This duster coat is perfect for days you feel like layering. The four bottom items are a nice bouclé oversized coat, a casual rib knit pencil skirt and a fancier metallic pencil skirt, as well as some really fashionable ankle pointed stiletto boot. 

I like the look of this bouclé cardigan and the knit roll neck crop jumper seems like it can keep you really warm, despite it being cropped. And nothing screams fall more than a wool hat, am I right? I also really like this faux fur satchel and plunge ruched knitted dress. As well as the light grey nail polish & dark grey nail polish from H&M. 

How do you feel about wearing grey in the fall of winter season? Which of these items would you like to add to your wardrobe as well?

Summer Festival 2015 Fashion Inspiration ❤

Hello lovelies,

July is right around the corner and that means festivals, festivals and more festivals. Even though the only music festival I'm going to this summer is at the beginning of August, I'm already stressing about what I'm gonna wear. Because we all know, festivals are not just about the music anymore: they're like an open air runway show! In case any of you need some outfit inspiration, check out these four outfits I styled with an aztec bralet, fringe shorts, an off-the-shoulder romper and a print dress. 

Get the look: Embroidered Bralet - GLAMOROUS | Gladiator Sandals | Heart Shape Sunglasses - EMBLEM EYEWEAR | Beaded Clutch Bag - H&M | Aztec Shorts - New Look 

How to wear: Wide Leg Trousers ❤

Hello lovelies,

I definitely believe one of the biggest summer trends this year are the wide leg trousers. Usually I stay away from every fashion trend that's anti-short girl. But if styled correctly, even these trousers can be rocked by us petite fashionistas. So, which of these nine looks do you like best?

SOLID COLORS 

Solid colored trousers are so easy to style, as they are super versatile and can be dressed up or down. Wearing solid colors is also ideal if you are still into colorblocking, like I am!

STRIPED

Striped trousers are a short girl's best friend. They are the key item to fake a taller appearance, especially in photos. Do stay away from horizontal stripes though! 

 PRINT

When wearing a print item, I love keeping the rest of my outfit a bit more simplistic but still use colorful accents here and there. 

Wide leg trousers are seriously a big thing in every store now, so there's no way you'll have trouble finding a pair you like. I have two now, but I can't wait to score a few more. What's your take on this trend?

My SS/15 Essentials ❤

Hello lovelies,

 It's been spring for a little while now and probably like every other blogger, I still feel like there a few fashion pieces missing from this season's wardrobe. So I thought it would be fun to make a list and show you all my (missing) essentials for this year's spring and summer. 

On top of my list is a pink Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera. These pretty polaroid cameras have become such a hype. And I finally think I'm ready to splurge my money on one as well. 

top: 1 | 2       bottom: 1 | 2 

I used to hate flatforms shoes with a passion, but somehow they made my list anyways. I think being petite, I now definitely see their practicality of being comfortable but still having a little bit of heel for everyday all-day wear. 

top: 1 | 2 | 3    bottom: 1 | 2 | 3

Lately I have been leaning more towards backpacks instead of purses and crossbody's. They not only look very boho chic, put also carry a lot more. 

top: 1 | 2     bottom: 1 | 2

On every online shop I've browsed on for the past couple of days, I've been checking out their floppy hat selection. They're perfect for those bad hair days, those "mannn the sun is shining hard" days, those "my outfit is kinda blah" days, don't you think?

top: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4     bottom: 1 | 2

Besides grey being my official spring color, I also can't get enough of striped clothing. I had on a striped asymmetrical dress on Easter last week and I got so many lovely compliments. 

Last on my list, but not least.. flash tattoos! I know they've been in since last summer but I'm still very much obsessed with them. 

What are your ss/15 essentials? And what do you think of mine? Also, take a throwback look at my SS/14 essentials.

What I'd Wear to Coachella 2015 ❤

Hello lovelies,

Even though Coachella is a music festival, the fashion is always a huge part of it. And every year I dream of being able to attend. But between plane and festival tickets, it's probably going to cost me two month's worth of student loan lol. But a girl can certainly dream of her Coachella outfits.

Here are six outfits that I would totally wear if I was going to Coachella this year. To me Coachella fashion is all about looking fashionably comfortable and lots of bib jewelry, fringes, stripes and just everything bohemian. 

Outfit 1: Sleeveless blazer - Floral Skort 

Outfit 2: Striped halterneck top - Fringe hotpants

Outfit 3: High Neck crop top - Denim shorts - Metallic Flatform sandals - Dainty layered necklace 

Outfit 4: Ribbed wrap crop top - Palm tree slip-on sneakers 

Outfit 5: Striped crop top - Crochet pencil skirt

Outfit 6: Aztec crop top - Sliced front split skirt - Gold BIB necklace

What would you wear to Coachella?

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.

Dress to Impress for your Internship Interview ❤

Heey lovelies,

For the last couple of months I have been so determined to find a great place to intern abroad, but unfortunately I haven't been so lucky yet :( But it has got me thinking about the moment I'd have to come in for an interview and decide on what to wear. I'd want to look stylish and well put together, but also want to keep it comfortable and effortless. I thought since I have to start my internship next January, a lot of you would have to as well. So I'm hoping my outfit picks can help you out a lil.

I think midi skirts are the most appropriate type of skirts for any internship position. Mini skirts just easily give off that "party girl vibe" and maxis might just be too uncomfortable to move in all day or that split can be too revealing. Personally I don't like wearing flats to a formal meeting, because I really need that extra height. So I would opt for a pair of shoes that have a reasonable heel/platform height. 

Outfit 1⇢ blouse - Sheinside | midi skirt - Boohoo | ankle boots - Asos
Outfit 2⇢ blazer - Boohoo | cami - Choies | midi skirt - Boohoo | booties - Forever21
Outfit 3 ⇢ blouse - Sheinside | necklace - Boohoo | midi skirt - Boohoo | booties - Forever21

Wearing trouser pants to an interview is always a safe bet, but make sure you let your personality shine through with a lovely statement necklace, a little pop of color and/or a fun print. Pants certainly don't have to be "boring", even if the position you're applying for is all about professionalism.

Outfit 4 ⇢ sweatshirt - Choies | necklace - Choies | leggings - Chicnova | booties - Forever21
Outfit 5 ⇢ blouse - Chicnova | necklace - Choies | pants - Choies | platform heels - New Look
Outfit 6 ⇢ crop top - Choies | trousers - New Look | ankle heels - New Look

I really hope I have given you some insight on what you could wear to (internship) interviews that show off your sense of style and lovable personality. But remember: no matter what you decide to wear, make sure you feel confident!

Ps. do you guys have any tips on finding a perfect Marketing/Social Media internship (abroad)?

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. 

Pictures from Pinterest

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. 

3 Easy, Fun & Affordable Halloween Costume Ideas ❤

Heey lovies,

For a lot of people October isn't just about grey weather and orange leaves, it's also about Halloween. Now I for one have never really celebrated Halloween before, but this year I might be going to a party or two. And here comes the dilemma: what costume do I want and how much am I willing to spend? I refuse to get an expensive costume, since I'll probably only wear it once. So I've come up with a few costume ideas that are affordable and wearable on several occasions. And with a little luck, you'll already have everything you need right in your closet!

WALKING SKELETON

[1] Skeleton long-sleeve dress | Skeleton tank dress | Skeleton bodysuit 

[2] Skeleton print leggings | Skull socks | Skeleton gloves | Skeleton print leggings | 

If you're like me and not creative enough to draw some bones on your black attire with a white fabric pen, then you can always get these items and you'll be done!

SEXY ANGEL 

[1] White sleeveless pleated dress | White backless flare dress | White textured mini dress 

[2] White skater skirt | White long-sleeve bodysuit | White asymmetric skirt | White skater skirt | White split midi skirt | 

I'm sure you must have a white dress laying around some where in your closet. No? A white top and skirt then? Still a no? No problem, I got you covered with all these white little pieces above. All you need is your halo and wings, or are you already fly enough? ghehe.
