beauty tip

A while ago, when I was in Spain and ran out of bronzer I tried the "Colacao". It's cacao powder (you know, the one you mix with milk) and it worked so good. I was so satisfied by it, that I took the box home with me in Belgium. The best part is that you smell like chocolate and the it stays super long. So, try it out!

outfit #74: denim

One of my favourite outfits is: a plain white tee + some cool jeans + heels. I bought those Levi's trousers a while ago for 3 euro (!) in a second hand shop (Think Twice in Brussels) and I'm planning to do some shorts with them. I also bought a second pair (3 euro!! Couldn't resist), also for shorts or I will make some ripped boyfriend jeans. So, take a close look at them, because they will be transformed. To be continued...

wearing:

white tee - random

trousers - vintage Levi's (3 euro on sale)

heels - H&M (20 euro on sale)

outfit #73: sunset

Here are some photos of what I was wishing to wear during 'summer'. Is it in your country also raining aaaaaall daaaaay long (and night) ? Today, we have finally suuuun ! So I might get this outfit out :). Hopefully this weather will stay for a week !

Can you believe this dress is from Zara kids, size 11-12 years? That is so cool of being little, you can go to the kids section! It's my absoulute favorite dress for summer! I wanted to buy it an a size bigger when I saw it before the sales, but I did like 7 Zara's in whole Belgium to find it and I only saw small sizes (even the 11-12 years was gone). So when I saw it on sale, in 11-12 years, I took my chance! And I'm so happy I did!

wearing:

dress - Zara Kids (18 euro on sale)

hat - New Look (5 euro on sale)

sunnies - H&M (5 euro)

bag - Primark (3 euro on sale)

sales shopping: accessories

Hey hey!

What have you been up to ? I'm having the time of my life! Here's a brief recap of what has been going on:

1. The 1th of July, what a torture. I was for about 10 hours in a shopping mall, the first day of the sales, standing the whoooole day giving chocolate away and NOT being allowed to shop. Horrible. Thank God, Spain won, at least! I partied with my dad and brother (really really weird haha) and then I met with some friend in an Italian bar, haha. You should have seen me waving the Spanish flag while someone was singing an Italian song (yeah, it was karaoke night). Awkward.

2. I've been to "Liège", to the only Belgian Primark! God, what a dissapointment. Well at least I got beautiful sunglasses (see picture) for only 1 euro. And other stuff too (coming soon).

3. I've partied a lot. A looot (Maybe too much). TD (university parties), Wood, in the centre, BBQ's, ...

4. I succeeded all my exams! But you already knew that :).

5. I need to wear glasses! Noooo. Well, I don't mind it sooo much! I think it's kind of cool, I just can't decide wich glasses. I remember going with my mom to the optician and that I saw all those people taking houuuurs to choose a pair and I was like "come on, just pick one". Now, I understand. And I think I'm ten times worse.

6. I won tickets to a festival in Ghent (10 days off). So, I might be partying while you'll be reading this, haha. Even if the "festival" lasts 10 days, I'm probably going to go 2-3 days.

7. I've been to Liège (twice), Kortrijk, Ghent, Knokke, Waterloo and Brussels in 2 weeks. That's a lot for me. I'm like discovering my own country! And I'm going to Antwerp and Ghen again soon.

Apart from that, I also did some (some is an eufemism) sales shopping. Those are some of the accessories that I bought :). Hope you like it !

Sunglasses - Primark (1 euro)

Hat - New Look (5 euro instead of 12)

Shoes - Women's secret (15 euro)

fav beauty products

Those aren't not only my "fav" beauty products, but also my beauty products I can't live without. I need them all the time and have them always with me just in case (emergency!). I also always have deodorant with me and red lipstick, just in case I can't change for a night out. It always gives an extra touch to an outfit.

1) Dry Shampoo

Where would I be without dry shampoo? I have really greasy hair :( and this is my saver ! If I wash my hair every 2 days, I immediately get dandruff so then it's better for me to use dry shampoo! Plus, it gives my hair extra volume; I kind of like my hair better when I use dry shampoo then after I washed it. Oh, and I use the powder: much better and last sooo much longer. Is a bit expensiver, I think, though.

Klorane, about 13 euro.

2) Lip balm, Carmex

Carmex is the best (that rhymes a little!). I don't use another lip balm, because this one is just perfection. I often use it in combination with lip stick, because lip stick is so dry. You immediately feel the effect on the lips. I noticed a lot of people hate the smell. It's also available in cherry but I think it actually smells even worse, haha.

Carmex

3) BB cream

You probably heard of this "miraculous" cream, the BB cream. Well, actually, for me, it really worked. My skin is so much more smooth and even. It have less pimples too. So, I definitely recommend it. I buy Garnier because it's a mix of cream and foundation. I also tried Olaz, but I prefer Garnier (less expensive too!). Soooo worth it. I apply it every day on my skin and then I use my HEMA concealer for my eyes. That's it!

Garnier, about 10 euro.

Sorry for the bad quality pictures! Took those with my compat camara during exams.

outfit #72: the uniform

Hey guys!

It's been a while, I know ! But I've been nejoying my freedom, away from my computer and courses! It's been gooood, aaaah.

Speaking of exams and stuff, I passed all my exams! 3rd year, here I come! I'm so so happy ! Now I can enjoy 3 full months of vacations (I start end september) and then exams in December. But that's for later!

This is what I mostly wore during the exams. Jeans + black boots + comfy sweater. Again a €3 euro sweater. The color is so so so beautiful, perfect for a more cold night during summer. It's pastel bleu/mint (the realy color doesn't come very good on the pictures!). I was so happy when I found it!

Like it?

wearing:

sweater - vintage (3 euro) (similar here)

jeans - Cheap Monday (50 euro)

boots - Pull&Bear (20 euro on sale)

outfit #71: life on mars

Hey you!!

It finished my exams yesterday! I know I passed 2 of the 5, so I might have 3 exams to repass, we'll see. What a relief to be over that horrible period.

Yesterday was such a sunny day (and so hoooot)! I went in town to go check some sales, but they weren't very good yet (they officialy start the first). Then I went home back with a friend and we drank some cocktails while listening to music, tanning, etc. Just chillin! Much needed.

You might be already sick of this sweater, but I just can't get enough of it. It goes with EVERYTHING (might do a "5 ways to wear it"!). Those Levi's shorts are also a goes-with-everything-piece. This was kind of my uniform while studying :).

wearing:

shorts - Levi's (18 on sale @ UO)

sweater - Lacoste (3 euro @ vintage shop)

bag - Il Bisonte (my grand-mother's)

sunglasses - H&M (5 euro) (similar: here,

the end is near

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say that I'm currently in an exam period so I won't be posting a looot (you might have noticed that already, haha!). I'm a my dad's and I do have internet and stuff, but not my computer and I forgot my camera cable at my mom's. I already have some fashion and beauty posts prepared, so stay tuuuned. Oh, and also a DIY project!!

Anyway, I'm not forgetting you (hi!). hope you are all doing well. And those of you are in the same situation as I am, GOOD LUCK. Keep on smiling :).

maison martin margiela + h&m

Did you hear it? Belgian (youhou!) Maison Martin Margiela is collaborating with H&M! They will launch a - probably amaziiiiing - ladies collection in november (Nov. 15th). Can't believe this! Martin Margiela at H&M prices?! I need to see this. Can't wait to see the collection!

I must say I'm kind of surprised. MMM never really did commercial moves and now they will be collaborating with one of the most commercial brands ever, H&M? It's really unexpected! And I'm not sure they loyal fans will be very pleased about this step. I am for sure very curious about it...

outfit 70: magnum

This is actually not a recent outfit. I wore this when I did the Magnum Pleasure Hunt in Brussels. Magnum (you know, the ice cream) organized a whole tour in Brussels with shops. They also made a "bar" where you could have free ice creams, massages and manicure. I went with my mom (who totally fell in love with the music at the bar) and it was very cool. I didn't buy anything though. I wore this with white all stars, because it still hurts when I wear heels :(.

Anywaaaay, I did a shopping break monday and went to the 3-euro-sales at Think Twice (vintage store). I scored some pretty nice (DIY) stuff that I will show you sooooon. So stay stuned (don't forget to follow me hihi).

wearig:

pants - ZARA (10 euro on sale)

T-shirt - COS (my mom's)

blazer - H&M (20 euro on sale)

watch - fake CASIO (5 euro) (you can get your real one here)

What an expensiiiive outfit, haha.

Ps: Sorry for the bad qualite pictures! My reflex died when I was taking them, so I switched to my compact one...
