Whats a girl gotta do with her pay check...

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! 

I certainly had! Had a bit of time to relax and see family and I was spoilt rotten with presents. I got Body by Burberry - a lovely perfume in my opinion. Also, I still had a gift certificate left from my graduation last year and got myself the Inimitable Intense mascara by Chanel (SO good - my #1 mascara) 

So the title explains it all. Got my pay check & accidentally surfed to www.topshop.com where I accidentally threw some of my cravings in the shopping basket and accidentally clicked BUY BUY BUY - OOPS?!

Got myself the Topshop Ambush Boots a.k.a. the Acne Pistol Boots wannabees. Actually - I think I might like the Ambush Boots better than the Acne ones...

Also got a concealer make-up brush and the eye crayon in sunshower.. I quite like Topshop make-up.

Yippie!!

It's all in the (leather) details

1. Leather Sleeve Jumper (brand unknown) 2. Leather Sleeve Jeans Blouse (brand unknown) 3. Rag & Bone Crawford Suede and Leather Sweater 4. Rag & Bone Baxter Leather-trimmed Wool Sweater 5. Marc Jacobs Leather Sleeve Jumper 6. Alexander Wang Leather Sleeve Jeans Jacket 7. Rick Owens Leather Sleeve Jeans Jacket 8. Givenchy Leather Sleeve Coat 9. Leather Cuff Jumper (brand unknown)

Yesterday evening I had to drag myself to the Kalverstraat (one of the busiest shopping streets of Amsterdam) for some last minute Christmas shopping - something that you'd rather not do on one of the last evenings before Christmas! Obviously I can never resist dropping into the H&M for a quickscan of new clothing and accessories - and my eye fell on the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" clothing line which includes a nice dark navy jeans jacket with leather sleeves - unfortunately it was no longer available in my size... 

In the mean time I will drool over some of these other partly leather/partly -insert any other fabric- items!

Also quite obsessed about the partly leather/partly wool scarf that Sabrina from Aftrdark is wearing here D.I.V.I.N.E.!

Happy Holidays y'all!

DIY: Sparkling Heel Boots

Want to learn how to make sparkling heel boots yourself so that you can pimp up those boring old pair of shoes that you know are still lying somewhere under a pile of clothes in your closet and give them a second life? I just stumbled upon this very helpful DIY guide... and I must say; the results look quite impressive! Look for yourselves...



These boots were made to sparkle

OK so you might have spotted them on the right column of my blog under "best new buys" but these sparkling beauties that just arrived from the other side of the Canal deserve a blog post on their own...

I will post some photos myself as this picture does not do justice to these lovelies <3

Fall cravings

Although I really REALLY despise rain & the colder weather that comes with fall and winter, I really like the fashion in these seasons - maybe better than summer fashion. Here are some fall cravings. I'd really like a rust-colored belted maxi skirt, some grey denim shorts, and a few other things...

I am so happy that I already have the Monki Faradiba clutch in eggplant - I think it's absolutely lovely and can be both chic and more edgy. Thank Buddha for the online Monki shop!!!

Hair inspiration

Some lovely hair inspiration...

B.A.C.K.

Ok ok I admit it, not writing a single blog post since March is quite a long time of blog silence. Actually, it is a true blog-killer to have been away for more than 6 months to say the least. In the mean time my laptop crashed and as a consequence I lost all my blog documents. But more importantly, I have been very busy juggling 3 (!!!) responsibilities a.k.a. part-time jobs at the same time, which has led to a serious lack of spare time... I have really missed blogging! Which is why I am B.A.C.K. 

I realize that I do not have a lot of followers but I hope that the few I do have will enjoy my coming posts - thanks for following me!! I really appreciate it

Lately I have been obsessing about some pieces of the already well-known Fashionology jewellery line again. The jewellery is designed by the lovely Rachel who also has a blog (click!) you might be interested in. 


Look at these pretties & fall in love.

Get armoured!

Get this beauty of an armour ring for only 8 pounds (was 10 pounds) at ASOS.com - ASOS also offers free shipping at the moment so its a steal! Ive been wanting this specific one for a while now so I placed my order!

Alexander Wa-ang BABY!

I have been a fan of Alexander Wang for quite some time now and I just got myself this fa-abulous Alexander Wang skirt 60% off at net-a-porter! Cannot wait to get my hands on it and wear it with a nice fuzzy warm knit and some black wedges!

Shout out to Annemerel from Annemerel.com for posting the skirt on her blog!
