Barcelona

Finally I'm posting my Barcelona pictures! I'm really sorry it took me so long, somedays I just hate photoshop...
We had a wonderfull time in Barcelona. The weather was super, we had so much fun, we saw lots of great and pretty stuff (much more than what I'm showing pictures of), the hotel was great, lovely dinner, friendly people, ...
I know some pictures are really small, but I'm not going to change them again. If you want a better picture, just click to enlarge them (but I guess everybody knows that already).
This post is really long, it has about 40 pictures in it. Not too much if you know that we have more than 300 pictures. It was hard picking out my favourites! If you guys want to see the rest of the pictures, just go to my myspace.

As you guys already now, I've also done some shopping there. I wish I found more there, because Mango etc. are so much cheaper in Spain. But than again, I still needed to get everything on the plain.
My boyfriend bought me a gorgeous dress at Mango for my birthday. I took a picture, but it was really bad. I guess you guys will see it when I'm wearing it.

Post 100!

This is my 100th post and I don't even have that much to say!
I want to apologize for not posting that much lately, but I've just been so busy.
Last week we were on a hunt for a nice appartment/studio for next schoolyear and thursday we finally found one. I'm looking forward to move there in september and I can't wait to decorate the place.

Today my boyfriend and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary! We are going out for dinner this evening and maybe watch a nice movie.
I promise that I'll post my outfit shot tomorrow and of course some other stuff!

Favourite dress and jacket!

Lately I've been shopping so much I couldn't even keep up in my blog posts. It seems that I'm getting more and more addicted to shopping. Maybe it's because of this blog and all the pretty things I see on other blogs? Well, I don't know, but I still love shopping. I could go shopping every single day. Only my bank account isn't too happy about all my shopping. Like my closet, it's exploding, I haven't got place enough for all my clothes and my bedroom at home is filled with shoes. I guess that's life for a girl like me!

Last week I bought a dress and a cardigan/jacket and they both became my most favourite pieces (even sometimes I think everything I own is my favourite piece).
The dress is from Mango. It's my second piece from the Penelope & Monica Cruz collection for Mango. I'm a big fan of their collection, even though sometimes I find some pieces too expensive for my studentbudget (especially because I'm saving up for a pair of Sonia Rykiel shoes). This dress was 60 euros, really not much because I know I'll wear this dress so much. I just love the flowers and the color combination. The neckline is something different aswell.
If the weather could just get a little bit warmer, than I could wear this dress without a cardigan and that would be even better!

The cardigan/jacket is from Zara and it was 50 euros. I was searching for a navy blue jacket for over a year now. In my opinion this one is perfect. The fabric is so soft, I love the golden buttons, of course the color is great and it's really warm (perfect for wearing during cold days). I've also added a picture that shows the back of this jacket. I know these 2 pictures aren't good, but I tried several times and this was the best I could do. When I wear it you'll get better pictures, promised.


Wow, I had a lot to say today. Weird, because usually it takes me a while to write my posts and I never have anything to say it seems.
I'm still working on my Barcelona post. It's taking me so long because we made so many pictures and I need to resize them (1 picture is about 1,2 MB and that would just take up too much space). Not having photoshop myself isn't helping either.
I promise the post will be online sunday!

The same dress

Yesterday was a relaxed day. First I had to go to school for 3 houres and in the evening we had a D&B party. We organized the party ourselves, so we did need to do some work, but it turned out a great night. There weren't so many people, but it's not like you need a lot of people to have fun!
I wore the same dress during the day and evening. With some changes it turned out to be a great dress for a party!

Day time
Sweater: H&M
Dress: H&M
Tights: H&M
Shoes: Secondhand

Party-time

For the people who are into D&B, Dubstep, etc. : My boyfriend made his own blog and is going to post about parties, records, mixes, ...

Shop till I drop!

Lately I have been shopping so much! I can't even keep up posting everything I've bought...
Today's post is about 2 shopping days  with my sister in Antwerp. I went the week before I went to Barcelona and I went last week.

These are my black platforms from H&M, the ones I have in purple aswell! I just love wearing them so much, I couldn't resist buying them in black aswell.
They are really comfy and I love wearing high shoes like that. They costed 30 euros, so I would be crazy not to buy them!

This grey t-shirt from Urban Outfitters is so lovely to wear. I love the loose collar and the color! It costed 36 euros, not so much, because I decided that from now on I'm going to spend more on beautifull t-shirts like this one. I'm sure the quality is better than H&M, so it's worth the money.

My sister has a lot of flowers to wear in her hair and so took me to Accessorize, where she gets all of her flowers. There were so many lovely flowers, I just couldn't contain myself and I just had to buy some. I went for the green, the white and the purple one. I think it was about 8 euros for one flower.

Afterwards we went to Akotee. It's such a nice shop with lots of cute stuff for your house etc.
I bought myself this box for 17 euros. The drawing is really nice and I thought the handle was just to cute. It's really big and I just haven't decided what I'm going to put in it.
I also bought a dark blue skirt at Urban Outfitters, you can see it here. Now on to the second part in this post: shopping in Antwerp last week.

I bought myself 2 dresses that remind me of the twenties-era. 
The first dress is the pink fringes dress I saw already a few times on several blogs. I already wanted to buy it when I was in Barcelona, but they didn't have my size anymore. I was so happy when I saw it in Antwerp last week. It was the last one in stores and I didn't doubt for a second. It was 30 euros, but if I think about all the good times I'm going to have wearing dress, really not too much.
This is one of my absolute favourite dresses!
This is the second dress, it costed 20 euros. I just love the black in combination with the soft pink. The ruffles at the bottom are so cute and in fashion right now.
I normally never wear pink and I ended up buying 2 pink dresses. I guess it's because of the soft pink color. I'm still sure you would never see me wearing hot pink, etc.

Finally I found myself a big floral scarf with fringes. It was about 5 euros in my favourite secondhand shop. I love the bright colors!

This gorgeous necklace is from Urban Outfitters. My sister and I found it and both said at the same time, I don't even want to know how much it costs. It looked so expensive to us. When I turned the ticket around and saw that it only was 23 euros I bought it immediately.

I also bought 2 body's, a strapless one from Urban Outfitters and 1 with 3/4 sleeves at H&M.
I normally never wear body's, because it's just not so easy to wear in my opinion. I did buy them, because I hate it when my t-shirts go up and people can see my back and it's cold aswell:)
