Antwerp Fashion Night



One date was marked in my diary for over a month: Friday, September 28, the first edition of Antwerp Fashion Night! And what an incredible day it was. After some trouble with the train, Hanna and I arrived in Antwerp for the press event and the pre-party at La Fête des Belges including cupcakes, bubbles and hair & nailstyling! We met up with Steffi (whom we met before at the Public Image event), got our hair and nails done and talked A LOT :D

Sneakers



If you'd told me a year ago I'd be wearing sneakers today, I'd be laughing: They were so not my retro/girly style. But times have changed, and not only did I start to like the look on others (Elien, Sabina and Leeloo rock their sneakers!), I've recently bought a pair too! I have to say, it's a nice change to wearing heels all the time (not that I do that - the cobblestones on these pictures are the reason for that) and I think they still look elegant. Even my boyfriend approves! SCORE

Goodbye Summer!

Well, I'm back in my little room in Leuven, I had my first class today and I'm sitting here with a big cup of tea and a blanket: summer is definitely over! Not that we had some sort of crazy summer here in Belgium but still: now it's back to business instead of chilling all day in my pyjama's, watching series and making cake! I figured I'd do a summer recap post to remember those awesome months for the last time before I'll go and join the OMG SO GLAD ITS FALL hype that's been going on for like a month. Or not: the only reason I like fall is because I can wear warm clothes without freezing my ass off (I hate winter), the same reason I love Spring more than Summer (fashion-wise): you get to wear bare legs and summery clothes without the "It's way too hot for anything more than a swimsuit, and I'm going to sweat my ass off after 2 minutes outside" hassle! Now am I just rambling or do you feel the same way? :D
Anyway, my little summer recap!


Celebrating my 20th birthday


Spent two amazing weeks in Turkey
Learnt to sew and made my own dress!
Enjoyed cosy nights with friends <3
Studied a little bit... (and passed my exam!)






Ate A LOT
Enjoyed the sun with my boyfriend <3
Started working at 'Reispunt' coffee bar, and still loving it!
And finally bought myself some sneakers!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get myself a pumpkin spice latte while I'm wearing tights, sweaters and scarfs again, because apparently that's what bloggers do now that it's FALL OMG. Blogger clichés ftw!

September Shopping

So I may have disappeared for a while here, sorry for that! I've been working a lot the last two weeks, most of the time I'm finished working around 8PM, so I don't have much spare time! I do have some spare money now thanks to that, so I already bought myself some things to celebrate, haha. Well, most of the stuff I bought is either vintage (1 euro at Think Twice vintage, love that shop), on sale, bought with a voucher or just cheap :D So I didn't splurge or anything (yet - still have to receive my paycheck...) but I'm planning on some wedge sneakers (finally!), a new school bag and a trip to Primark soon, so expect more shoplog posts soon! So, what I bought:

Knitwear! From top to bottom: Zara sales - Forever21 sales - T2 Vintage

H&M dress

Planning on a colourful autumn! Vintage T-shirt - pants secondhand, bought from a friend

Some vintage pieces that require DIY-ing (aka spending the afternoon at my grandmother's, including afternoon coffee and biscuits!):


Real leather skirt - I'm thinking of turning it into a 60s skirt!

I can so see this turning into a sexy wiggle dress!
Gangsta sunglasses, from ebay
What do you think of my new buys?

Summertime Sadness


The title of this post isn't really appropriate, because I couldn't be less sad at the moment: I'm free from exams (did go better than the last time, so fingers crossed!), I had the best weekend chilling with my boyfriend and I had my first workday today and it went well! I'm working at a coffee bar called 'Reispunt' in Leuven, so come and say hi if you're in the neighbourhood! I *might* get you some free coffee :D Some photos of my weekend:

Holiday Photos: Blue Lagoon

I'm currently studying for my exam Friday (I made a pact with myself that I will never, EVER have a resit again), so this is just a quick post - the last post about my holiday in Turkey! As I said in my previous post, we spent our last days at the Blue Lagoon, apparently one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! I can't testify for that, as I haven't seen that many beaches in my life, but it was definitely an amazing place! We even joined the die-hard British tourists and went on a boat trip around the lagoon: there are a lot of little bays in the Blue Lagoon area that you can only reach by boat, so off we went!

Babalon Night @ The Public Image

Last Friday I was invited to the Babalon Blogger's Night at the Public Image store in Antwerp together with some other bloggers! I had a great time looking at the wonderful collection, drinking delicious cava (:D) and meeting lovely bloggers: Nikki, Renée, Hanna, Steffi, Anouk, Nathalie and many others. Some pictures of the store and the collection:
