Instadiary

Here's another Instagram update for you! Sunday is still my day to post my Instagrammies on my blog, but I haven't done it every week since I made the promise to do it. I guess I've just been to busy, and some weeks I don't post any pics on Instagram, and the next week I might post lots of pics.. So maybe I should just update my Instagram once a month. The second Sunday of the month. How does that sound?

Parisienne

The end of the schoolyear is coming nearer and nearer. I've almost finished my first year at the Utrecht School of the Arts. It's been a great year, and as the months pass I'm getting excited for summer, but also a bit nervous: will I pass my propaedeutic year? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Will you cross your fingers for me? :-)







What I'm wearing:
New Look playsuit // Esprit heels (from Rinske // H&M hat

This little playsuit really made me feel like a Parisienne in the Netherlands! I love the color and the belt with it. The texture is great, it's a bit of a shiny fabric, which makes it look a bit more chic. The pics below were taken by Rinske last Sunday, when the weather was still amazing! It seems like I just can't stop talking about the weather. But it's been so strange here the last couple of months. It seems like yesterday that it was still super cold, and I was shaking in my thick winter coat. A couple of days ago I wore shorts, and now it's somewhere in between. It's not bad, but it's not good as well... I guess that's just the Netherlands. It keeps fascinating me in a way, otherwise I wouldn't talk about it in probably each post I've written in the last couple of months... Well, maybe it'll get better when I get used to the good (or bad, you'll never know...) weather again.

I'm super excited for summer holidays by the way. I'm going to France (celebrating my 19th birthday there on the 9th of July) and to Hungary in August. Do you have any plans??

Elephants

Here's the Mr. Gugu & Miss Go skirt I bought a couple of months ago, and which I got a couple of weeks ago! If you've been reading my blog for a bit longer, you've probably read the post. If you haven't, you can always check it out right here! Me and Rinske had a mini photo shoot last Sunday. The weather right now is exactly the thing I could get used to in a second! But hey, I live in the Netherlands! Why have one week that feels like spring, or maybe even summer?? That's way too long, right?! I bet Mother Nature thinks something like that when she decides the weather for the Netherlands. It'll be worse tomorrow, and we'll probably have rain. Not really a wear-your-shortest-shorts type of weather. But I'm enjoying it while I still can!






What I'm wearing:
H&M top // Mr Gugu & Miss Go skirt // Primark necklace // H&M heels

Enjoy the rest of the week! :-)

Rooftop Party // The Outfit

Here's what I wore to the C&A rooftop party event!! I wore the coat I'm absolutely in love with since I saw it in store. It wasn't a very cheap coat, but sometimes you just have to decide to buy something you'll be extremely happy with! So that's exactly what I did. I waited and waited until I got to wear it, and the rooftop party of last Thursday seemed like the perfect day to wear it for the first time!


Me and Tali from Rock My Heels










What I'm wearing:
Zara coat // H&M top // Bershka bandeau top // Pull & Bear jeans // H&M Conscious Collection heels

One thing I might have to change on the coat: it doesn't have a zipper, or buttons, or hooks.. So I guess I'm gonna have to leave the coat open or sew some hooks and eyes on the coat. When I went home, I used a big scarf to make sure I wouldn't get a cold, which was a great solution as well.. What would you do: sew hooks & eyes on it or just buy a super nice scarf to go with it?

Shopping: Mr. Gugu & Miss Go

"Keep Calm and Love Mr Gugu & Miss Go"

A few months ago I ordered some clothing I absolutely adored at the Polish website Mr Gugu & Miss Go. I ordered a swimsuit with a print of the birth of Venus (check it out in this post & also here) and a skirt I've been searching for for ages. So I checked the prices and I was amazed to see that I could actually afford these gorgeous items!! As fast as I could, I put them in my online shopping basket and went to the check out. I was super happy with my new purchases, but then it took quite a while for the items to arrive...

I checked my profile at the website again, and it turned out my order was canceled. So I sent Mr Gugu & Miss Go an e-mail and this was the beginning of a long, long e-mail conversation. Turned out, the workers of the website missed the order, as I payed from the Netherlands and I bought the items on a Polish website.. Technical talk, I guess. Then we had some more talk through e-mails and second bummer was that they didn't make the Venus swimsuit anymore. They had some problems with the graphics... Too bad, but the people over at Mr Gugu & Miss Go are amazing, as they showed me very fast which swimsuits they were still making, so I chose one. And they said they were gonna send me a gift as a compensation for the whole situation. "Ohh that's so nice!!" I thought.

And oh yes, they were nice. Very nice. They sent me 2 (two!!) bathing suits instead of one, and a button shown above (quite a great motto for the entire situation, don't you think?). Now all I've got to say is:

Thank you so much Mr Gugu & Miss Go for the compensation!!






What's on the pics?
galaxy swimsuit, cloudy swimsuit (not available anymore) and elephant skirt

The items look a little bit strange on the pics, that's because of my mannequin. She hasn't got a long enough body for the skirt so I had to use cardboard to not have it look even stranger. :-) I also had to use a small piece of cardboard on the bottom of the fitting doll, as it got a little bit too used over the years so she looks like she has a cameltoe if I don't use the cardboard haha.

How do you like these items?? Have a nice weekend guys! :-)
