OOTD: Be your own sunshine

Hey guys! How have you been doing? 

Even though spring is not happening for another (few) month(s), the sun has been shining and it has been very uplifting for everybody's mood! 

There's nothing like having lunch or a drink with people you cherish and feeling the sun beams on your skin. Through the window that is, because outside it's still too cold, but I guess beggers can't be choosers.

This coat is one of the newest items in my closet. I have quite a few coats, but I don't have bright ones like this one. I really loved to colour and have been looking for a similar coat for a while now, so I took my change and brought it home.

Because this coat is so bright, I kept the rest of my outfit basic. Black boots, black jeans and a black sweater.

I ended up going for my Kenzo sweater, which is black, but the brand logo is stitched on in thesame shade of yellow as the coat.

OOTD: All yellow, out with my fellow

I have always thought it was a strange thing that people get close around Christmas, only to ignore each other for the rest of the year. 

My boyfriend and I try to go out on a date night at least once a week. It's our way of reconnecting, especially if we haven't had time to really make time for each other the rest of the week. We both work a lot, both have our hobbies an both have friends that we like to keep in contact with - and sometimes that's a lot!

We always take a walk to some restaurant that we've always wanted to try (or we go to thesame one twice in a row) and try to avoid our phones the whole night to talk to each other - which isn't easy when you have the most beautiful dessert in the world standing in front of you!

It's a rule we made when we first started dating because I didn't want stop going out together and forget about all the fun experiences we've had. I didn't want us to just stay home and sit in front of the TV, sharing nothing but an interest in the series we're watching.

While walking to restaurants all around Bruges, we often find really nice places that even we - as locals - forget about or haven't even discovered yet.

Last week we had a pancake date (I know, I'm an old lady on the inside) and walking up this bridge I just had to have a picture.
This outfit is something I wouldn't typically wear during the winter time but well, what do you know, I was in a good mood.

My leather skirt as well as the shirt that I'm wearing come from a store called "Shop One". I got these items in Portugal because I didn't know the brand yet but they had really cute things. Wouldn't want to miss out on that!

My purse, tights and boots are by H&M.

Thanks for reading! Happy Wednesday!

OOTD: November, November

Goodmorning! Happy November!

It's been a while since I've done an outfit post, so... here's one! 

I got this dress yesterday. It's a dusty pink wool dress with choker detail. There are even pearls attached to the choker. This one's from Moggy's. I think it's so pretty! 

As it's getting colder, I decided to go for tights and my knee high boots. 

This outfit looks great with my long, black, open coat and my pink and tan scarf.

I'm liking this outfit a whole lot! What do you think?

Thanks so much for reading!

Malaga outfits ♥

While Belgium is getting cold and rainy, Malaga is a tropical, magical place with lots of sunshine and very little clouds.

While we were there, we had the chance to take a couple of pictures. We only had handluggage for out flight so the pictures are taken for a phone - nevertheless, I wanted to share them.

OOTD: Pinky promise!

Hi! I'm a bit late with my post today, my apologies! 

It's been a while since I've done an outfit post, I was starting to miss it already. But, here I am, with my first outfit post of August!

Have a look!

On the way to the location where we wanted to shoot the pictures, we saw some funny and/beautiful things. This was hanging outside a café, which I thought was pretty funny.

Today's outfit was pretty simple. I simply paired my black jumpsuit with a cropped checkered shirt, which I tied together to create a waistline.

I combined them with my new white shoes, which have a glittery detail - so cute!

Since this outfit was pretty simple, I decided to spice things up with accessories: my clutch being the most important detail in this outfit. It's a very hot pink bag in the shape of a bow. I got it ages ago but never wore it, until now!

 

Clutch: New Look

Jumpsuit: New Look

Checkered shirt: H&M

Shoes: local store

Pearl bracelet: Claire's

OOTD: The Venice of the North

People often say that Bruges is the Venice of the North. I have no idea if it's true or not, I've never seen Venice with my own eyes.

But there is one thing I do know: I think Bruges is pretty wonderful. It's quite small if you think about it, different from Ghent (which is another important city here in Belgium), but I think there's a lot of atmosphere, culture and character here.

 

When I first moved here, two years ago, I had this plan to explore Bruges during the weekends... But things kept coming up and I decided that school and work were more important. 

However, I decided to make up for lost time and I've been making a lot of walks, discovering more and more beautiful places, with my sister by my side.

Woops! Resting bitch face!

We had such a nice day together, just spending some time, doing some shopping and sipping a couple cocktails in the city center. As always, I was armed with my camera and we snapped a couple of pictures of my outfit.

It wasn't that hot out so I'm wearing beige/light brown trousers and I paired it with this amazing black top with golden glitters in it. It's a bit odd, sometimes you can spot the gold glitter and in other lighting it just disappears. 

What I love about this outfit is that the colour of my trousers, shoes and purse match perfectly.

For accessories, I wore these two H&M necklaces, that I showed you in my haul earlier.

That's my outfit of the day! I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

 Thanks for reading, I hope you have a nice day!

OOTD: Sheer maxi skirt

Goodmorning everyone! How are you doing?

I'm on the verge of finishing my exams, so I couldn't be doing any better! My last two exams will take place tomorrow and my knowledge of history will be tested, so I'm very nervous! Especially because it's an period of time that I didn't know much about before!

The exams are a very stressful time for me, I often have no time to spare so anything is good enough, as long as it's comfortable.

Most of my exams have been oral, so just going to school with comfy jeans and a basic T-shirt hasn't been an option for me. I always try a little harder when I'm going to be talking to the professor face to face - I think being well dressed at an oral exam proves that you are well prepared and that you wànt to put effort in a good 'reputation'/attitude.

Even though I haven't had much time to make new pairings or think about my looks extensively, I've found an outfit that looks like I've put a lot more effort into it and is still very comfortable.

Take a peek?

This outfit has got to be my favourite outfit of the moment. The shirt with the sequin lips has been a favourite for over a year now, but the maxi skirt is brand new. 

It's safe to say it's already a favourite!

Pairing the shirt and the skirt was quite easy. Since the skirt is blue, I wanted to go for something a little more "neutral" for the upper part of my body. A black or white T-shirt was a little too boring so I decided to go for grey and sparkly! It draws attention, but not too much. It's a nice detail, but it doesn't take away from the pop of colour that my skirt provides.

In order to create a waistline, I tucked the shirt in my skirt.

For accessories I wore a bracelet that matched the blue of my skirt perfectly. It's a great eyecatcher. It's only one bracelet, but looks like a whole lot of arm candy. I also wore rhinestone earrings that matched the sequin lips on my shirt. 

I got the bracelet and handbag from a market in Barcelona and the earrings were a gift.

My shirt and skirt are by H&M, my shoes are by New Look.

If you're still in school, I'd like to wish you good luck! 

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!

OOTD: Winter Weather

Happy Thursday!
It's been quite a while since I posted an "outfit of the day"! It has been freezing in Belgium and I wasn't ready for it. At all. But now I have decided to stop holding on to summer and just embrace winter. It is December after all.

The sweater I'm wearing in this post is actually one that I got by H&M. It's such a sweet colour, I'm crazy about it!
To spice up my sweater, I added my statement necklace. This one is also by H&M. I like this necklace because there are so many colours in it - it's a really great way to wear colour even though the weather is depressing.

Watch by New Look

earrings by H&M

I wanted to keep this look casual, so instead of wearing a blazer, I wore a grey cardigan. I also finally got some winter boots, I'm in love! They're classy, they fit well, like I said, I'm in love!

What do you think of this outfit? Thanks for reading!

OOTD: Owl

Hey everyone! Happy Monday!

I have enjoyed a week of vacation and now I'm ready to work again! 

I have an outfit of the day for you today. It's getting cold here - not cold enough to wear a coat yet, but cold enough to wear pants.

 

I wore a shirt with a glittery owl on it. Owls are my favourite animals so this shirt really makes me happy! I paired it with a beige cardigan and nude ballet flats.

My clutch is also glittery.
