QOTD #1

Everyone has a quote that means a lot to them, makes them happy or something else. Today i have one in the category that means a lot to me. The quote is : The only constant thing in life is change.

The reason why this one means a lot to me is because it`s just the simple truth. Sometime we wish everything remains the same as it is, and sometimes we just want things to move over and change. For me this quote means don`t look back but look at all the things you have right now and appreciate & enjoy it!

Which quote means a lot to you?

nailpolish #1

My plan was to show you girls the things i bought yesterday, but i changed my mind.
The reason for this is that  the nailpolish i`m gonna show you is just perfect for the upcomming days:)




(sorry for the messed up photo`s, i hope it is clear enough to show what i mean)

When i bought the nailpolish i thougt it would be a light grey with some sparkles in it, but when i applied it on my nails i got a bit of a surprise being it blue. I would describe the color as an icy blue kind of shade, and it is perfect for freezing, snowy days like this!


I bought it at Kruidvat from the Catrice sale and it`s called Have A Good Day, which i will have because it will make my outfit just a bit more special. The only weak spot is that the nailpolish is quite thick so applying is a littlebit harder than what i`m used to.

What do you think of this nailpolish?

Outfit i like







back
Today i wanna show you guys a outfit i adore. It`s a black and (army)green outfit.
Black is my all time favorite color and i think 90% of my wardrobe is black. It`s just a color that makes you feel comfortable.

The outfit is just simple, but totally my style. I really really like the green/black blouse (i found it here) I`m doubting if i should buy the blouse because i don`t know the website. Does someone has any experiance with Sammydress?




Shoplog: Pretty in Pink




Last Friday i had several appointments for school and my new apartment. But between the appointments i found some time to shop. I haven`t bought much but i thought it is worthwile to show to you.




As you can see both items are pink, normally i don`t wear pink so this is just coincedence. Lately i`m trying to buy more colorfull items instead of alle black and grey which i normally wear all te time. The blusher i bought is from HEMA, a store in the Netherlands ( and Belgium) which sells clohting, make-up and stuff for your home. The blush is from the Wet & Dry collection and costs 4,50 which is around  $5,85 not much for a blusher if it`s pretty and works well. The blazer is from a secondhand shop in The Hague which isn`t located at een shoppingdistrict. The blazer only costs me 7,50 which is around $9,75, a bargain! The blazer is made of suede and just perfect for spring and late night summer evenings.


Tell me, which items have you bought lately?

The last few weeks we had some amazing weather in holland! We`ve had a lot of soft and sunny days.
But unfortunatly the weather is changing and it`s getting colder and starting to freeze. The positive thing is that if it`s getting cold enough for a couple of days we can iceskate again!

But when the weather is getting colder we have to make sure that the wrap ourselfs warmly, and that means we`re gonna wear more scarfs. Personally i wear scarfs all the time, i love them. They will keep me warm and they are availlable in many many patterns, prints and colors. I even wear them inside.

I thought it would be nice to collect some goergeous scarfs, and because of the sale everyone will be able to buy one, even if you have a student/low budget. So take a look with me.

Make-up, cover up or??


Make-up, do you use it on a daily- weekly- or monthly base? And when you put your make-up on, is it to cover up your flaws, just because it makes you feel better or something else?

personnaly i don`t use make-up on a daily base. I only use make-up when i have a special occasion or to make me feel better that day. When i put it on to make me feel better, i just put it on to cover up my flaws which make me insecure that day. A little masacara, eyeshadow/ eyeliner, concealer and lipstick will make my day on those moments, and sometimes just a lipstick is enough for me. When i have a special occasion i will use just a little more, i will start with concealer and my foundation, after that i will put some eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara on, and to finish it all i will use some blush and a bright lipstick.



The products i use are very different, some are very expensive and some are cheap. The last few months i`ve noticed i`m not willing to spend big bugs on make-up anymore. Nowadays i find make-up from brands like Catrice and Essence just as good as the more expensive ones. The only product i`m not willing to spend less on is my mascara. My sensitive eyes will  just endure mascara better from brands like Dior and Estee Lauder.




I do wanna use make-up more often though, but most of the times i just forget to put make-up on or when i do remember i just don`t have any time left to put it on. I think i have to start to use mascara and a lipstick on a daily base, just a little but it will make a huge diffrence in the end.

So tell me, how often and how much make-up do you use?

Moving!






Hello there!

I`ve have some great news, i`m moving! Since a few months i`m living in Wassenaar, a small village close to The Hague. Although i had a great house, they will demolish it at the end of this month. They came with this news 6 weeks ago and i had to find a new house. Ass you guys will understand it gave a lot of stress to find a new house that was availleble very quickly, and lucky me! 2 weeks later i heard that i will have a new apartment from the 1st of feb! My new appartment is in The Hague, in the same street where my parents live!



So for now i`m living at the loft of my aunt, which i`m gratefull for taking me and my boyfriend in for over a month:) But a new house means SHOPPING! I didn`t knew shopping for a new house gave so much stress..
I had to buy a new floor, curtains, chairs etc. The last two weeks i had to combine study, work and everything else, wich wasn`t easy. But now i can say i have most things i need, only my dream curtains are left to find.

After everything is done, i hope i will be able to start reviewing and writing about everything i love.

For now i wish everyone a (late) Happy New Year!

Love,
