All White

Two days ago I posted an all black outfit, this time I went for an all white outfit! This is the opposite photoshoot I talked about in my last post. It's shot by Mira in her beautiful hometown Tiel, in the Netherlands. It's absolutely stunning. I didn't expect such a gorgeous piece of nature in a city like Tiel, but just a couple of minutes away from the city center is this place. Unbelievable, right? You've seen me standing and sitting on a rooftop in Tiel, you've seen me near a church in Tiel, and did you expect that the city also has this? Well, I didn't ;-)





What I'm wearing:
H&M top // Bershka bandeau // H&M shorts // H&M heels

Hope you guys like this post! And what do you think about the first two pics? I finally figured out how to place two pictures side by side. I also figured out a way to rotate my pictures, as Blogger sometimes has it's way of rotating my pictures in a way they shouldn't be rotated. Has any of you faced these problems as well?

Black is the New Black

Black is always in fashion. Mira wanted to do an all black shoot, and this is what came out of it. At first, I wasn't really satisfied with the pics, they weren't as good as our other pictures were.. But in the end, as the pics were all edited and everything, I kind of like them! I added some text to the pictures, to make them kind of magazine-ish. What do you think about these pics?

There's an opposite photoshoot coming later this week!!






What I'm wearing:
H&M pants // DIY top // Bershka bandeau // Only blazer // Van Haren heels

What are you expecting for the "opposite" photoshoot? I'm curious to see what you'll guess!

Instadiary

Second Sunday of the month is Instadiary Day! Last Instagram update was at the 12th of May, now it's the 9th of June, so it's time to update you all. My Instagram account has kind of made a change the last month: since the beginning of June, the weather is getting better. But in May, oh my, the weather was awful. It made me feel like I should have worn sweaters, scarfs and beanies all month long. And it was already spring! Well, let's see what kind of pics I posted last month...




What's on the pics?
1. L.K. Bennett shoes at the Sarenza party
2. Sonia Rykiel shoes at the same Sarenza party
3. Dark, dark clouds of the Netherlands. OK, I may have exaggerated a bit by using a dark Instagram filter
4. I really felt like wearing scarfs and beanies, as you can see
5. Instabreakfast (because many people consider Instagram the perfect place to post their breakfast, lunch or dinner, making me jealous)
6. A DIY top
7. I was doubting about ordering these boots. And I did. Do you like them?
8. I wore a summer-ish H&M Conscious Collection top underneath my sweater, so I could just feel a little bit of spring on my body
9. A modern version of the girl with the pearl earring. Because that's what she probably would have done if she lived now ;-)
10. Garlic bread, which is super tasty!
11. Perfect summer items: a hat and heels from this year's H&M Conscious Collection
12. A sweet painting Mira made for me :-)

DIY stone necklace

Here's another DIY post me and Rinske tried out some time ago. I saw this DIY once on the German blog Mia's Little Corner, but unfortunately I couldn't find it anymore. Luckily I keep all of the DIY's that inspire me (with a link, but this time it didn't work anymore.. Bummer!) in a huge document on my laptop. I put some pictures with it, and the description of how I should do this with it, and then I save it for when I've got time.

Enough about that, let's go DIY!

What you'll need
- Some stones
- Wire
- Necklace chains
- Jewellery craft pliers

What you'll do

First, cut a piece of wire of which you think it will be long enough, then make a loop in the middel of the wire. Twist it to secore the loop.


Then you have to wrap the wire around the stone for the first time. Make sure you wrap it around very tightly, so the stone won't fall out.


Then just start wrapping the stone in wire, the way you like it to be. Again: make sure it's wrapped around the stone tightly. Also make sure you cover each angle of the stone, so there's no way it can fall out!


Cut the loose ends of the wire. The back of your pendant looks quite chaotic, but that's OK. People will only see the front of it, right? ;-)

And here are the results!! On the first pic, you'll see the result of my stone necklace, and on the second you'll see Rinske's result!



Do you like this DIY? And will you be trying it yourself? Or have you already made one? I'd love to see your result! There's also an option which is perfect for your summer holiday. You can check this DIY out right here. It's pretty much the same idea, but then with beach stones! So first you're gonna have to spend an afternoon on the beach, relaxing in the sun and finding some pretty stones, and then after this day, you can make this necklace to remind you of that perfect beach day!

Does this sound good, or does it sound perfect?

Relax

Yesterday I went shooting again with fellow blogger and friend Mira from Mira Tells! She writes about almost everything, from beauty product reviews to DIY and fashion, and also things she just wants to tell us about. She writes in Dutch, so I'm sorry for my English or another language speaking readers, but you can still look at her pics ;-) Besides blogging, she also loves taking pictures. And that's why we team up a lot for some photoshoots, sometimes with a special theme (this was a hint to some future posts), but sometimes "just" outfit pictures.





What I'm wearing:
C&A pants // DIY beaded heels // Vero Moda top

As you can see, I'm wearing C&A pants which I absolutely adore. Considering how much I loved their new collection, as shown here, I just had to go and check out what they had in stores. I found these pants and a cute top with an elephant on it (something different than a tiger, right ;-)?).

Hope you enjoyed this post guys! Do you have any plans for the weekend or for summer? My holiday will start in about two weeks. I'm going to France with my parents, sister and girlfriend, and to Hungary with my girflriend and her mother. I hope it will be great :-)
