HAPPY NEW YEAR 

Knot

Hello fashion victims from the first hour! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you spend all your time with your beloved ones... 

Today I thought I would surprise you guys with an accessory post! And first of all I would like to make a shout out to Delfien Debroux from the do it yourself blog operation-DIY.blogspot.com 

Just like me she is a student at the university of Leuven, and she also likes to spend her free time on fashion, more in particular, on making accessories. I already made her navy necklace for my nieces and myself, just by following the instructions on her blog (see the pictures below for the result!). But a month ago I saw that she had created a new necklace, also based on the 'knotting-principle'. So beautiful! Due to schoolwork, I didn't have enough time to make this one myself, so I asked Delfien if she could do it for me. I chose the color blue, because I think that is easy-combinable with a lot of stuff. When I went to get my necklace at Delfien's place, I also met her in person for the first time: what a super nice girl! We were already following each other on social media, because of our shared passion I think, but I still prefer connecting with people in real life ;) 

Do you like the two creations? For more ideas go to Operation DIY and try some out yourself! 

Some head deco

Hi fashion lovers! As you all know (or don't know), in "student-language" Christmas time also stands for study time... Between all the Christmas magic, a lot of work has to be done as our exams will take place from the beginning of January until the first of February (sigh). So from now on, my day exists for a big part out of studying, eating and sleeping. On top of that, it won't be a surprise if I tell you guys that I'm strolling home in my sweatpants and hoodie... (don't expect any outfit post from that ;p) 

But as this horrifying period just started, and the stress is still far away, I'm still treating myself with some Christmas shopping now and then! The perfect distraction... Yesterday my eye fell on this beautiful hat! My mom always says that everything fits me when it comes to headgear, although I sometimes really doubt that. But this time, I think I have to agree.

I have always had a lot of respect for people wearing hats. Today, it is still seen as unusual by a lot of people and I seriously don't get why?! It's super elegant and feminine, and it gives your winter-outfit that extra cachet. In winter times everyone looks the same: big coat and a scarf. So hurray for the people who are trying to pop out in all kinds of ways! I'm already preparing myself for the weird looks on the street, but this time I'm ready to bring up my 'je m'en fous' attitude!!! 

Do you guys dare to wear hats? Or aren't you ready for this?

That coat

The perfect winter coat... the search for every woman (and man?!). In cold freezy times it's the kind of garment where you're seen in most of the time, so it's quite important that you buy a good one. And certainly one that you're not already sick of the next month! 

This time I wanted my coat to be long. Really long... The kind of coat that falls below your knee... But I didn't found what I wanted. But then I fell in love with this beauty at Sandro. It's a big investment, I know, but totally worth it! We're already good buddies. 

What kind of 'body warmers' are you guys wearing? 

Pinko Trunk Show

It seems like Pinko and I are becoming good friends! A few weeks ago I had the chance to go to their Antwerp shop for an exclusive fashion show. There were just 30 of us, oh so cosy. We had a presentation of the whole winter collection, with some special advice during the show about how to combine the specific pieces to create a perfect Pinko look. 

Pinko has a lot of styles: the über girly woman - the party woman - the more sturdy woman... You just have to choose what fits you best and Pinko will fix it for you ;) With some bubbles and sushi a super cool event. Afterwards we went for a Burger at Ellis: su-per-de-li-cious!

Winnetou

Hi dear fashion followers! It’s been a long time since I’ve done an outfit post, so today that will be the topic ! Lately I’m going through a lot of stuff, and with the exams coming up there is just so much to do... But there is always time for fashion, don’t you think ? 

I'm in looooooove with my necklace from Hugo Boss. It's quite eccentric, I know, but sometimes I like that. Now and then we just need to pop out, and here the necklace definitely does the work. Combined with this elegant dress from Vanessa Bruno, it just comes out perfectly. 

Fun fact: at a party there was one person who just couldn't stop about 'the feathers' that I was wearing. Since then my nickname became Winnetou. It wouldn't surprise you guys if I told you that I'm talking about a male person? Sometimes they just don't understand us women! ;) (this necklace is totally fashion, right?!)

It's Christmas time...

For me the upcoming period is definitely the most beautiful time of the year. I'm over the moon with everything that's linked to Christmas: the tree, the cosy moments of being together with your loved ones, the good food, the presents... Also the Christmas songs are absolutely super essential when it comes to the month December (non stop on my iPod). 

Last year, during this period, I was in the most amazing city in the world: London! Ok, for me this city never can do wrong, but last year it seemed that also in Christmas setting London is thé most beautiful place on earth. And on top of that, for a shopping freak like me, an extreme walhalla! Can't wait to be back!!! 

Here some images to show you guys what I mean... And don't forget to shake it up, because it's Christmas time! Are you guys going on some special Christmas shopping trips?

Cold winter days

It's freeeeeeeeeezing outside. Man oh man, it feels like my toes are falling off! High upon the list of winter essentials: scarfs! The bigger the better. I found the perfect one already this summer... black and gigantic! But sadly, it was one of the things that got stolen last week. So also a goodbye to you, my wooly friend...

No worries, look at this beauty over here. It's even more perfect. And believe it or not, this scarf is from Tommy Hilfiger's New York line: coincidence or not? I think I'm becoming their 'living advertisement'. Anyway, this will be my companion for the upcoming cold days. 

How are you guys bearing this freakin' cold?
