New in | Black peeptoes

I told myself some time ago that with shoes, I was only going to buy good quality from then on. Good quality, good leather, and gooood prizes.

And normally the H&M shoes are just not it. But than I saw these online here and all those good intentions flew right out the window.

I ordered them and three days later they arrived. The heel is just the right hight, so walking a whole day in them should not hurt. I guess I'm gonna find out today, I'm taking them out for a stroll since the rain finally stopped, and God knows for how long that might be..

Rain or no rain, wind or no wind, I pulled out some summer gadgets today.
Although many many bloggers are talking about the bad 'summer' weather the last month, including me, I actually should be fine with it. I'm at the office all day long, every day of the week, for the rest of the year.
Everyone around me would just get more and more tanned if it was nice weather. That's my selfish side talking. But, all jokes aside, this weather does make you long for summervacation even more!
The blue heels I scored last year at a big 'big brands' sale. Along with 30 other girls who wanted them too I guess getting my hands on a pair was quite a victory.
They are skyhigh so I guess with these this was my first practice walk since a looong time.

P.s. Don't forget this diy + giveway here!!

Diy | Scarf turned skirt + Giveaway!

Why not make a skirt out of a scarf on a rainy day, hoping for summer to come soon?

I had this really big red printed scarf, square shaped, and I never wore it because of the unfortunate shape.

So, inspired by all the prints and patterns this season I wanted to make my never worn scarf usefull.
It's an easy diy and the skirt turned out to be a nice silky, highwaisted, Zara-like skirt, perfect for hot summerdays, whenever the may come...
When the bare legs can come out, I will show the skirt with an outfit!

Zara skirt

Outfit | Tie-dye

Yesterday was mothersday. This post is not a day too late because all over the world (where people do celebrate) this celebrate-your-mom-excists day is being celebrated on different days, so I've heard.

My mom told us many years ago that it was not necessary for us to bring home gifts, because it all was too hyped and if you wanted to give her something for being a sweet mom, you could have done it every day of the year.

I think the real reason for her to say that were those ugly steatite shapes we brought home from elemantary school every year, and we told her they were penholders or something..

Today, she all the sudden was upset about not getting something for mothersday. You can't really argue with that on a day like this so I did the laundry all day...

Rainy as it is - it almost feels like if summer just ended and autumn is on it's way - I did some shooting between making breakfast and folding socks. The furry top and tie-dye jeans just came with the mail a few days ago and I'm so happy with them!

Outfit | Flashy

Between bright sunshine and big drops of rain, I dragged my roommate out for some shooting today.

We've just dodged an actual tropical rain shower, it was above 20 degrees and suddenly people in shorts and sleeveless tops had to pull out their umbrellas. We had to wait for it a long time this year, but I guess everyone can tell now, that summer is just around the cornor.

I did a little mix-and-matching today. The nude and the babyblue print, with some black accents here and there. I find myself adding black accessories to the outfits I wear 80% of the time, I guess that 'color' goes with everything. Lucky for us we can get a tan these days and not look like a totall black and white movie anymore..

New in | Asos

Internetshopping is my number one activity when I have free time on my hands. And with that kind of favorite activity it would be logical for me to have lots and lots of clothes. I do have that, but just not from the internet. I always find myself doubting about buying something I like on the internet. I guess I ask myself those many questions that make you doubt; will it fit, will it be the right color, will it look as nice on me as it does on that model? Having to return it is a big disappointment. But this time, I saw this skirt and top on Asos, thought about it for a few days, and when the sizes started to run out I bought those damn clothes.
The River Island silky maxiskirt is a perfect fit and I love the pastel color.
The top is from Asos. It is sheer and there is fur on the front which gives it that special one-off-a-kind kinda idea. At least I hope it's one-off-a-kind in my social network, because owning something that nobody else wears is just way more fun!

Outfit | Double trouble

When I was a little girl, I literally was a twig. All my jeans were too big and there was no such thing as an actual ass. And then, the day finally came: clothing allowance. When living in a small town me and my friends took the bus to Utrecht and shopped our hearts out.
At H&M the jeans always were a size too big or too small. Nothing fit me, but anno 2013 I finally can buy some nice printed pants over there.
My salary was not a day to early and the first thing I did today was taking that golden cart for a trip into the city. I only had 1 hour and these H&M pants were the result.
I think you are going to see these pants more often on the blog, in many other combinations!

Outfit | Green envy

It's a Saturdaynight and I'm at home, my couch and a very comfy outfit are my best friends and I'm zapping with a big cup of green tea in my hands.

Today the sky was clearblue and that's rare these days. I had nothing else to do than just sit on my balcony, getting a little sun and (hopefully) become a bit more tanned than the ghost I was this winter. 

A few posts ago I wore these pants with a big leather top, and although I looked 4 sizes bigger it seems these pants are wearable in many ways, cause today I combined it with a tighter top and I was happy about the way it turned out. It sort of a classy but still comfy outfit. 

This is, by the way, an allmost total Zara look. Oops.
