OOTD: My ray of light!

Belgium was the warmest place in Europe last week, and boy, have we noticed! 

We had a couple of holidays, which means that most of us spent 4 or 5 days at home and had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather (and each other's good moods that came with it)!

 

 

 

 I, unfortunately, wasn't one of them. I didn't have to go to school, but I did end up working. We'd had a couple of extremely hot days before so I decided to keep my outfit basic and short! Here's what I wore!

 I wanted to get a tan (because so far, I think I look like milk), so I wore some high waisted shorts. These feel so 1950s and I'm so happy I got them! They are burgundy and come with a tiny belt with gold detailing.

My shirt was white, as well as my shoes.

My bag was black and white with some gold detailing (it's a Michael Kors knock-off).

 

I also wore my favourite gold watch from Claire's and a bracelet with pearl detailing (I got this online from Six, but you can find similar jewellery at H&M).

I kept my accessories quite minimal. I did end up adding this cute necklace, I got this one at Claire's I think - this actually used to be one of my tattoo ideas! I still absolutely love the infinity symbol and the heart intertwined, it's just not going on my body (or at least, not now).

Have a lovely day!

Hey you guys!
Happy Wednesday! How are you doing?
I'm sorry for not updating the blog these past few days, college is quite busy sometimes! I have an outfit of the day for you today!

This dress is probably my favourite dress of all times, I got it online and I just think it's so, so beautiful! I love the colar and the "marine theme" of this dress. Makes me so happy!
I decided not to put on too much accessories, just my watch and some pearl earrings - since this dress is an eyecatcher on its own. I would love a little delicate, pearl necklace, but I don't have one right now, so I'm going to have to work on that.

On days when I go to school I usually take my black handbag with me (because I don't have a white or beige one), but when going to the mall, I like to pair this with a blue Chanel look-a-like purse!
When I go to school I always wear ballet flats, but when going out or hanging out with friends, I like to wear white Mary Jane pumps underneath this dress.
Elegant!

OOTD: Pastel Perfect

Hello everyone!
How have you guys been doing? Today I have an outfit of the day for you! I actually wore this outfit last week, when the weather was still good.
Right now, there's a whole lot of rain, a lot of thunder and lightening (which I'm not a big fan of... like, AT ALL) so I'll probably have to stop wearing skirts and dresses for a while.

Anyway, in this outfit I'm wearing I have on a burgundy T-shirt that you (unfortunately) can't see. Over top, I'm wearing a white cardigan. I paired that with my pastel blue skirt (which also has burgundy, light pink and green details in it) and my light beige ballet flats.

OOTD: Parrot ♥

Hello everyone! How have you been doing?

Once again, I have an outfit of the day post for you guys. I know this is not as much fun as it used to be because you always see thesame white wall in the background,
but I don't have my "photographer" (aka sister) here with me now that I live alone and I can't go outside and put my camera on timer because I'm pretty sure it'd get stolen while I wast trying to take a picture.

 

Okay so today I wore a babyblue dress with parrots on it. This is a halter dress, which is perfect for this kind of weather, it's still quite hot outside!

I got it online (on Topvintage.nl).

I put my beige cardigan over it. This one is from H&M. I tied it in a knot so it wouldn't be too long and take away the "wow" effect of my dress. I quite like how this turned out to be honest! My nude ballet flats are by H&M as well. My watch is from New Look. 

 

I like this look a lot, what do you think about it?

OOTD: Spring is coming!

Hello everyone! 

Spring is here and I'm so excited, it's so nice and warm outside. Time for dresses again! I have a little outfit of the day for you. I took this pictures in the house before I went to a friend to celebrate his birthday.

 

I got my dress from Topvintage. I have said it before and I will say it again: I love their dresses. They are so  comfortable and beautiful! Oh, and also very va-va-voom! 

I put a few flowers in my hair for more pin-up "feel", these are by H&M. My make-up is based on this tutorial (click here) and my lipstick is "Russian Red" by MAC.

I love this look!

Manicure monday #1

Hello everyone! Today I have a manicure Monday for you.

As you probably know if you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm in love with the vintage/ pin-up style. 

One thing that I've wanted to try for a long time is the half moon manicure - you might know this from style icon Dita Von Teese, she wears it a lot too! I finally managed to do it one or another way! Take a look with me?

I'm wearing fake nails in these pictures, I like fake nails because my natural nails always break (they're so weak) and using stick-ons hide my nails (and can't make them break).

The colour that I used on my nails is "Do you speak love" by Essence, which is a perfect colour for winter and the holidays. I think the colour looks very classy and sassy!

What do you think?
Thanks for reading! Make a stranger smile!

OOTD: Different

Hi! How are you doing?

I have another outfit of the day for you! I was in the mood to wear my newest skirt so I decided to make it a rockabilly/pin-up look. Why not? I'm very satisfied with how I looked, I think it was so cute. I also went to some stores and you wouldn't believe how much everyone was looking. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but I don't really mind. As long as I am happy...

Are you ready to see the outfit? Keep on scrolling...

The skirt and shoes are from New Look. My T-shirt is by H&M and my bag is real vintage. My bandana is from a local shop - you can find this anywhere really - and my glasses are brand new! I just got them a few minutes before taking these pictures. They're by C&A, which is a store that is available in Belgium and the Netherlands, but I'm not sure if there are any other countries. I'm quite lucky because I have a very annoying face shape so sunglasses normally don't fit me, but this model is just right! Ah, finally I'm being rewarded, haha! 

 

This is my absolute favourite picture (below)!

 

Thanks for reading! Have a very nice day!
