Shopping: Pants, Shirts & Monsters

Afgelopen zondag ben ik met mijn vriendin naar de Swan Market gegaan in Rotterdam. De Swan Market is een grote lifestyle markt in Rotterdam, waar je echt van alles kunt vinden. Kleding (nieuw én vintage), kussens, kunst, sieraden, spulletjes voor je interieur.. Niets is te gek! Ik vond het ook wel een beetje een soort real life Pinterest, haha. Je kunt er zo veel inspiratie op doen!

Na de Swan Market gingen we nog even het centrum van Rotterdam in, waar ik een broek en een shirtje kocht. Ik was het helemaal niet van plan om iets te kopen, maar ik kon deze items gewoon niet laten liggen. Het monsterlijk leuke knuffeltje dat je ziet, hebben we op de Swan Market gekocht. Hij is handgemaakt door Wendy Wezendonk, die haar producten verkoopt op etsy en haar eigen site. Ik ben in ieder geval onwijs verliefd op ons Beastie!




Zoals je kunt zien blog ik vanaf nu hoofdzakelijk in het Nederlands. Vinden jullie dit beter of juist niet?

English: Last Sunday I went to the Swan Market in Rotterdam with my girlfriend. After that, we went on a tiny shopping spree in the city center of Rotterdam. I wasn't planning on buying anything, but couldn't leave these two items behind. They were screaming my name haha ;-). We bought the cuddly monster at the Swan Market, which is by the way a great place to find some DIY inspiration!

More information about the Swan Market (in Dutch) can be found here, and if you want such a cute cuddly friend for yourself, you can find more information on this etsy page and on this website. Aren't they amazing? :-)

Instadiary

Curious to see what I did last month? Well, read on and you'll find out all about it!

1. throw back to last year's shoot I did with Loes & Mira Ennen
2. The sky of my birth town Vlaardingen was amazingly multicolor last November. Gorgeous!
3. I went to the Maria Mena concert in Eindhoven with my girlfriend. I bought tickets for us for her birthday
4. Yvon and I did a selection for the Dutch TV show Lingo. And now I can say that we passed the test and will be on TV next year!!
5. Preparations for the smokey eyes tutorial
6. The results of the smokey eyes tutorial! Gorgeous, right?

1. I got this amazing Moleskine diary for Sinterklaas. I love it!
2. The first Christmas outfit of this year. Check it out here
3. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
4. We've got a distorting mirror outside the Intertoys close to our school. We just had to take the opportunity haha, charming right?
5. We had to make a radio show as a school assignment. We decided to write our own song (or actually Rinske wrote it) and built our own tiny studio to tape it haha
6. My walls are still orange and brown, but this way I can make it a bit more "me"!

What have you been up to last month? And again: happy holidays!! :-)

Dutch: Afgelopen maand ben ik erg druk geweest met school, daarom ook niet zo veel Instagram foto's dit keer. Op de eerste foto zie je een foto van vorig jaar, die ik maakte met twee vriendinnen Loes en Mira Ennen. Op de tweede foto zie je de lucht, hij was echt prachtig! Ik ben ook naar Maria Mena geweest in Eindhoven, als verjaardagscadeautje voor mijn vriendin.

Yvon en ik hebben auditie gedaan voor Lingo, en inmiddels mag ik jullie vertellen dat we door zijn! Joepie! Volgend jaar kun je ons dus bewonderen op televisie. De laatste twee foto's zijn voorbereidingen en het eindresultaat van de smokey eye tutorial die ik met Rinske maakte.

Voor Sinterklaas heb ik deze prachtige agenda in mijn schoen gekregen. Ik vind hem nu al fijn, kan niet wachten tot ik hem mag gebruiken! Verder zie je nog een foto van een kerstshoot van dit jaar en zie je hoe ik mijn kamer wat meer klaar maakte voor Kerst.

Vlakbij onze school zit een Intertoys, waar een lachspiegel buiten stond. Daar moesten we natuurlijk even gebruik van maken! Natuurlijk kunnen we ook serieus zijn: voor een schoolopdracht moesten we een radioprogramma maken, waarvoor we een eigen liedje opnamen. We moesten alleen even een eigen ministudio bouwen in een lokaal, haha. Op de allerlaatste foto zie je een paar tekeningen en een schilderijtje die en dat ik heb gemaakt voor op mijn kamer. De muren zijn nog steeds niet wit, maar zo worden ze toch een beetje leuker!

Hebben jullie nog wat leuks gedaan afgelopen maand?

DIY Ugly Christmas Sweater

Hurray for Christmas holidays!! I spent my week studying and making tests, and now I'm hoping I did well. I think I did one good, one bad and one I don't really know. So let's hope for the best! Now it's time for a holiday and hopefully good times, happy times, happy people and nice food ;-) . I went shopping today for the last Christmas gifts and I'm officially broke now. You don't really understand about December being the most expensive month of the year until you've got to pay rent and until you've got to buy gifts for everyone in your family, including a girlfriend and a mother in law. But all that matters is the happy face when you give your gift, right?

I made a couple of gifts myself. I asked you on my Twitter page how I should do it with the DIYs for my blog. If I posted them before Christmas, everyone would see what they would get.. But Rinske came with the solution: just give them now and post the DIYs later. So I'll be posting some DIYs after Christmas or I'll change them a bit so they can be Valentine's day gifts, or just simply spring gifts or whatever!

I spent yesterday making myself an ugly Christmas sweater. They used to be just ugly, now they're totally fashionable. So as a fashion blogger, I can't stay behind and just had to have my own Christmas sweater! Due to the expensive December month, I decided to make it myself. And it was actually quite cheap and nice to do!

Dutch: Hoera, Kerstvakantie!! Afgelopen week was ik druk met leren en tentamens maken. Ik had er drie, waarvan er één wel goed ging, één minder en één weet ik niet zo goed. Nu is het dus afwachten tot de cijfers binnenkomen. Eerst ga ik lekker genieten van mijn vakantie, met hopelijk fijne tijden en lekker eten. Vandaag heb ik mijn laatste kerstinkopen gedaan en nu ben ik helemaal blut. Je weet pas echt wat mensen bedoelen met "december is de duurste maand" als je op jezelf woont, huur moet betalen en voor je familie én vriendin en schoonmoeder leuke cadeautjes moet kopen. Maar het gaat toch om het blije gezicht van de krijger, toch? ;-)

Ik heb een aantal cadeautjes dit jaar zelfgemaakt. Op Twitter vroeg ik jullie hoe ik dat moest doen met de uitleg voor op mijn blog. Rinske, mijn vriendin, kwam toen met de oplossing: gewoon later de DIY plaatsen. Eigenlijk heel simpel! Ik kan dan wachten tot volgend jaar, of de DIYs iets aanpassen zodat ze goed zijn voor Valentijn of simpelweg de lente.


What you'll need:
- A sweater (I bought mine in sale for only €10,00 at H&M)
- Felt
- Needle and thread
- Some pompoms and small bells, depending on what you want to make
- White paper and a pen (or a template of something Christmas related, like Santa Claus)

Foggy Christmas Eve

Vero Moda coat // unknown brand dress // H&M heels
Make-up by Rinske

Here's number one in the Christmas-outfit-inspiration series! Sequins always work for the holidays, so I decided to show you a golden sequin peplum dress, paired with casual coat and some casual yet chic heels. Perfect for a party with friends, but also for Christmas dinner with the family!

Stay tuned for more Christmas outfits and Christmas DIY gift ideas! Have a nice weekend :-)

Nederlands: Dit is nummer één van mijn Kerst outfit inspiratie. Pailletjes doen het altijd goed met Kerst, dus daarom laat ik jullie vandaag mijn gouden peplum jurkje zien. Ik draag hem met een wat meer casual jas en hakken. Deze outfit is perfect voor zowel een (casual) feestje met vrienden als voor een kerstdiner met je familie!

De rest van de maand zal ik nog meer outfits én DIY kerstcadeaus plaatsen! Fijn weekend allemaal :-)

DIY Christmas gifts: robot cushion


English: Christmas is getting closer and closer. As a student, I know very well what it's like to stress about the fact that you don't have enough money to get amazing presents for everyone. Well, here's the solution: DIY presents! Most of the time, it's cheaper, more fun to buy/do and it can also be more personal! You can adjust it to everyone's personal wishes. And that's why I'm presenting you this cushion DIY, shaped like something you love. In my case: robots.

Dutch: Kerst komt steeds dichterbij en als student weet ik als geen ander hoe dit op je zenuwen kan werken: ik heb bij lange na niet genoeg geld om voor iedereen wat moois te kopen. Daar heb ik nu een oplossing voor gevonden: DIY cadeautjes! Het is vaak goedkoper om je eigen cadeaus te maken, het is vaak veel leuker en het is ook nog eens persoonlijker! Je kunt het volledig aanpassen aan ieders wensen. Daarom geef ik jullie vandaag wat instructies voor een DIY kussentje, in de vorm van iets waar je van houdt. In mijn geval: robots.

Rinske: Smokey Eye Tutorial


English: I'm not a beauty blogger, am I? Well, no. But my girlfriend sure knows how to create a beautiful look. And with the holiday season coming up, we decided to give you a tutorial on how to create a beautiful smokey eye make-up look!

Dutch: Ik ben toch geen beauty blogger? Nee, maar mijn vriendin is er wel erg goed in. Aangezien Kerst en Oud & Nieuw steeds dichterbij komen, hebben we besloten om jullie een tutorial te geven voor smokey eyes!

DIY embellished flower sunglasses

image from Dolly Bow Bow

Floral sunglasses. I came across some pairs on Instagram a while ago, and ever since that moment, I haven't stopped thinking about doing a DIY on them. So I took some time, some glue, some glasses and some flowers to try and get some happy glasses.

Why make some sunglasses now, when fall has started over a month ago? Well, this is the time when the sun isn't that high in the sky, but it still shines quite bright. So when driving, or riding your bike, or walking on the street, you're sometimes blinded by the sunlight, especcially later in the afternoon. And that's why you really need sunglasses now: to prevent accidents from happening (I may have exaggerated that a little bit, but I bet it happens with car drivers).

Want to know how my happy glasses turned out, and how I did it?

Fall's Glory


Last week I went to take pictures in Pretty Utrecht with my friend Nora. We hadn't spoken in ages so it was great catching up with her! Want to see what I wore that very day?

Spotlight: WebStash

Have you guys heard about the website WebStash yet? It's a Dutch website, owned by Senya van Kessel. She studied Food&Business, but was always interested in marketing and fashion trends / musthaves. That's why she decided to create a website full of original accessoires and fashion items, which resulted in WebStash!

Links to the products:
studded bra // infinity ring // cross bracelet // goodie box // Céline top // neon pink bag // Baroque sunglasses // statement necklace


Above, you can see some of the items I love. The baroque sunglasses are gorgeous, they have been on my wishlist the entire summer long, and with the good prices of WebStash (these sunglasses cost €10,95), I should actually not even be doubting anymore.

You can see that WebStash offers a great variety of products. Rings, necklaces, sunglasses, clothing (not just t-shirts, but also leggins and the amazing studded bra, even though I'm not sure if I would dare to wear it, but it's still amazing), watches... Nothing is too crazy for the webshop!

And you might have seen it already in the pic above, but WebStash also offers a goodie box! How cool is that? They offer a accessoires box with products for the amount of €50,00. The goodiebox itself costs only €19,95. Great deal, right?

If you'd like to check out the website after hearing about all these amazing deals, just go over and check it out! You can visit it through the links in this post, but also by clicking on my newest banner in my right sidebar. There's a brand new WebStash banner up there!

Have a great day guys :-)

Inspiration: home

It's been a couple of weeks since I've moved out to Utrecht and I've been so very busy that I haven't been able to really make it my place yet. I do have some decorations like flowers and candles, and of course I have furniture, but the walls are still bright orange and brown, which isn't really my thing. So I've been wanting to paint the walls white and really finish my place. The only problem is that I don't have any money. And I would also love to have these IKEA chairs, but once again: no money. But a girl can dream, right? And that's why I made this small collage of things I'd love to have for you, right during my exam period :-)


Sources: this, this and this.

Some of the things in the collage are actually quite affordable, but still I have to save money. And: how cute is the robot in the bottom? It's 30 cm high, which is quite big. Oh, how I want it. If only it weren't about €70,00.... !

What's on your wishlist when it comes to interior?

1001 Extensions


Long time no see! Don't get me started about everything I had to do the past couple of weeks! Yesterday we celebrated getting our propaedeutic diploma at school, which was a good party! This calls for a blog post. Of course I'll show you the outfit soon, when I'll find the time to take pics. But first I wanted to show you how you can make your hair grow SUPER DUPER fast!!

Outfit Summary Summer 2013


Here's a list of my favorite outfits that I wore last summer. Summer has officially ended now, but in the Netherlands, it has been like fall for the last weeks. We had one day of 30 degrees Celcius, and the next day it was freezing again. OK, not really freezing, but it certainly felt like it!

But I'll do my best. Any of you experiencing the same problems?

Rinske: Find it in a dictionary under "L"

Shopping: Transparent bag

Stradivarius bag

THIS bag. I searched for something like this for a long, long time, but during my holiday to the south of France (and the short visit to Barcelona) I found it: a transparent bag. I also love those Russian matryoshka dolls you can see in the pics. As a child, I loved finding smaller and smaller dolls inside every doll. I think I could literally spend hours doing this, and putting them back together. They squeaked a bit while I separated them, but I guess they haven't been separated in a very long time...

School starts again tomorrow, so I hope I'll have enough time for blogging like I'm doing now: a post every other day. I can't promise anything, because I have to go to Hilversum everyday from 9 in the morning till a quarter to 6 in the evening.. So hopefully I can find some time for blogging, maybe with my friend Mira, who also awarded me with a Liebster award. More about that soon.

And also more about this tiny thing: I'm going to live in Utrecht!!! Those of you who follow me on Instagram might have already seen it, but I'm officially moving to Utrecht. Of course I'm gonna miss everyone back in Vlaardingen, where I've lived most of my life, but I'll come back there, especially in the weekends. I couldn't live without my family, friends, and especially not my girlfriend Rinske ♥.

Has school already started for you?

Have a happy September :-)

Menswear


I'm wearing:
Lanvin for H&M blouse // Zara pants // Sacha heels // Fashionology necklace // Rinske's Modemusthaves.com bag


High heels. Something we haven't seen on my blog for quite some time. Well, OK, I wore heels to Fashion Week this year, but it feels like ages ago to me. These beauties were a birthday present from my girlfriend Rinske, who also took the pictures of this post and last post, featuring my Inkkas sneakers.

Also something that never fails: menswear. I loved this blouse from Lanvin for H&M the minute I noticed it in stores, so I took it with me into the fitting room and already decided I had to buy it before I even tried it on. And it has never let me down. It's a great blouse, it's comfortable, it looks good, it's oversized. I love it.

Have you got some pretty items from the men's departments?

P.S. Pics turned out quite blurry, I'm sorry for that!

Sporty Spice




I'm wearing:
Pieces top // H&M shorts // Inkkas shoes // Fashionology necklace


After showing you my new babies in last Thursday's post, I couldn't wait to do an outfit post with them! While going through my closet and fitting some things, I noticed that these shoes (and sneakers in general) make me look quite sporty. It might be because I barely wear sneakers, that I only think they make me look sporty. Whatever it may be, I decided to go for a simple, little bit sporty outfit. I combined my black H&M shorts with a top I bought a while ago at Pieces. I love the loose fitting of this top. I've worn it so much already, but never really showed it on my blog. Well, today is a good start.

Do you like these shoes? You can buy the same ones here, but be sure to check out the entire Inkkas website !

Cloud Nine




I'm wearing:
Mr. GUGU & Miss GO bathingsuit


This is one of the two bathing suits I bought at Mr. GUGU & Miss GO, and I love it. I hadn't expected it to be this photogenic. Literally all the pics of the bathing suit looked good, but then along came my face-without-any-make-up. This made it difficult to find any good pictures, but I managed to find four good pictures for you (although I still don't know about the fourth picture...).

Pictures are - just like these and these - taken at the beach in France. Looking at these pictures makes me want to go back again. And shop for bathing suits at Mr. GUGU & Miss GO again.

What do you think about this bathing suit? And would you rather wear a bathing suit or a bikini? Let me know! :-)

Shopping: Sneakers & Necklace


Do you remember my post about the amazing brandInkkas? And me stating how my favorites were the "Mojito" shoes, low top? Well, the people over at Inkkas were amazing enough to send me a pair. They apologized before sending them out: international shipping wouldn't be the best, but that wouldn't matter for me: I'd be going on a three weeks taking holiday! So when I'd come home, the shoes would be waiting for me. But international shipping wasn't slow at all. It was quick. I believe it was even in the first week of my holiday that I got a Whatsapp message from my sister, saying a package from Inkkas arrived.

And I absolutely love the shoes. They're so comfortable and eye-catching. I'll be doing an outfit post with them very soon!

Something else I'll be doing an outfit post with, is this lovely necklace. I bought it at the same store where I bought my neon shorts, shown here. They had all sorts of amazing neon items. It's lovely. Two of the stones fell out, but my amazing girlfriend Rinske had a trick (and I think it's a pretty good trick) to cover it up. We just took two stones from the ends of the necklace, and placed them in the missing parts. Had you already noticed the two blue stones missing? Or are you checking it out right now? If you had seen it: oh well, too bad haha, it's not such a good trick after all. If you hadn't seen it: ha!



Do you like these items? Are you excited for the outfit posts? ;-)

Neon, Neon, Neon




I'm wearing:
H&M top // shorts bought in Barcelona // Swarovski necklace // souvenir bracelets


Second holiday outfit post! I bought these shorts at a small store in Barcelona. I also bought an amazing necklace there, which I haven't shown you yet as I haven't had a chance to do it. But it will definitely happen! I just love these shorts. Neon is great if it's not excessively thrown into your face, to say it like that. I love the delicate neon aztec print (I always love aztec print) and the bottom of the pants, with the slightly frayed legs. I finished this look with a kind of flowy top, which I bought last year and still love. It's actually my favorite top. It's great with a blazer or cardigan for winters, but also perfect for summer!

Have you got a neon printed item yourself? And, more importantly: have you enjoyed your holidays?!
