New in: GUESS Sandals

Hi loved-ones,

How was your weekend? Mine was great, I finally had some "fun-time" with my boyfriend and friends. Saturday-evening there was an event were all restaurants and bars made special food and sold it on the streets. Also there was this big big big flee-market that was taking place at night! It's super fun trying to find treasures in the night. Sunday we went to a free festival with these great Dutch Dj's and danced all day and had some relax-time in the park. So as you can read I had a lot of fun.. And I did some shopping too. I couldn't be more pleased because I scored these great GUESS sandals with discount! They are perfect for summer and they are made of suede which give them a classy look. The little gold G sign on the side is a super fun detail which I really like and they are so comfortable! And all of that for just €42,-.

I really wanted to share them with you.. What do you think of it?

 

 

With Love, J.

A Piece Of Yellow

Hi Loved-ones,

How was your weekend? 

Mine was great! My boyfriend and I went to Anvers (Antwerp) to spend some fun days together. Did you already know that this city is a great city for shopping (and culture)! No matter which brand you like, you can find it there.. From H&M to Forever21 and from BCBG Max Azria to Armani, they have it all. We wandered trough the shopping-streets to find the perfect new outfit. 

If you have the change to go to this amazing city just take it! 

But enough about that.. When I was in Anvers I notice all the yellow items hanging in the stores. I knew Yellow was an upcoming trend, but never thought it was a color for me.. I have to say I'm totally disagreeing with my first opinion after this weekend. 

Yellow is a really powerful color and you can combine it with almost everything. Even when you are really white when it comes to your skin you can go for some really nice yellow sneakers or statement necklace. And did you know Yellow is a holy color in Asia? So lets buy some yellow! 

I picked some of my favorite pieces.. 

J.W. Anderson €314,75

Superga €59,95

Dsquared2 €210,-

Clover Canyon €125,14

H&M €39,95

River Island €54,-

Kate Spade New York €279,11

Givenchy €1.665,-

Zara €49,95

Valentino €550,-

Are you gonna add some yellow to your closet and which piece do you like most?

With Love, J. 

The Short Story

Hi lovelies,

How is your weekend so far? Mine is great, the weather is so sunny over here in Holland it makes me happy and wishing it was summer already! 

When the temperature is getting higher and the sun starts to shine I can't wait to pull out my shorts again.. Shorts are one of my favorite pieces for spring and summer, because you can combine them in so many different ways. You can put heels under it to make your outfit more feminine, but you can also wear them with flats and a nice simple t-shirt or top for a casual look. And another great thing you have them in so many different types. You have the denim shorts for a casual or tough look but also the very classy, feminine ones made from cotton or lace. So there is a perfect short for everyone!

As you can read I really love the short! Just to give you some ideas how you can wear different styles when it comes to a short I collected some of my favorite combinations for some inspiration..

What is your favorite way to combine your shorts?

With Love, J.

2. Feminine with The Full Skirt

This trend is a very ladylike one! The Full skirt is a classic item and is making his way back into fashion. They come in all types and sizes, so there is a full skirt for everyone.

4. Crop it up with the Crop Top

Okay I know what you're thinking right now 'yeah right, no way, I'm not ready to show my belly yet', at least that was my first reaction to this trend. It's not that I'm full figured or something, I'm very content with how my tummy looks but still even I have to hit the gym more often. Okay enough about that issue. The Crop top.. Even if you are full figured you can pull of a crop top, look at the Kardashian's. So even the crop top is for every figure and it comes in different type: long sleeve, lace, cotton. When you combine it with a high waist jeans and some biker boots you create a very tough look, but when you combine it with a nice high waist pencil skirt so it will only show a little bit of skin you create a very classy and sexy look.

River Island €10,-
