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?

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?!
