Event: Press Opening Primark Den Haag ❤

Hello lovelies!

I wanted to get this post up as soon as I got home from the Press Opening of the newest Primark addition in the Hague, so you are able to fit a little shopping trip into today's schedule. You're welcome. So I have been looking forward to this day for a little over a week now and can you believe I had the nerve to oversleep? Anyway. After a warm welcome, a catered breakfast, an official opening ceremony and a short tour, it was time to shooopppppp! I'd seen so many things I liked, so many things I wanted, it was just crazy. It was a bit of a race though, because I in no way wanted to still be browsing around when the humongous herd of people were let into the store. Luckily I was already in the checkout line when the doors officially opened!

Event: Nelly Pop Up Club - Amsterdam, Rotterdam & The Hague ❤

Hello lovelies!

I have had such a busy weekend. But I can't in no way complain, because picking out free clothing and shoes was one of the main activities! If you've been following my blog for a while now, or you know me personally, you know I can't ever say no to free clothing! So when I heard that Nelly.com was having a Nelly Pop Up Club in Amsterdam, Rotterdam & the Hague, to give out "Black Tickets" for the first 100 in line, I rallied up my cousins and friends, friends of cousins, friends of friends to get ourselves some early Christmas presents.

I was a little surprised at the small selection we were able to choose from, but nonetheless the "walk-in closet" was filled with some pretty glamorous stuff. And whenever you mix tasty cocktails, heavenly popcorn, stunning clothes and a bunch of fashionable females, that always calls for a good time! Below you can see a little compilation of the event in the different cities.

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)?

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?
