I always look everywhere but today I came across a site called SheInside. I didn't really look at that site before. I think it was because I didn't really know what kind of clothes they sold.

L'Oréal 1+1 Free Lip Products

Recently the shops in my neighborhood had some good discounts on my favorite makeup brands. That's why I decided to take the chance to haul some good lip products.

You can see already that there is also a Baby Lips from Maybelline New York in the picture and that's right. We now have Baby Lips in the Netherlands! I'm so happy :) Click read more for the review of these products.

Huge Winter Clothing Haul


Today I have a new video for you and it's a clothing haul for this winter. I went to Primark, River Island and H&M. I always love the River Island so much but I think everything is so expensive. That's why I bought just one sweater. Still I think the shopping experience is better than it's in the Primark. It's very chaotic but I love it because everything is cute and cheap. What do you like to shop? I can never leave H&M without buying something, same thing for you? Or are you just an all-round shopper like me? Let me know!


World Fashion Today Live

After my art history test I rushed to the train and took the first train to Amsterdam. Yesterday I went to a live talk show about fashion, trends and retail. To summarize everything they said into one simple sentence: it's all about the experience of your customers! It was the first time for me to visit a live talk show and it was really nice. I also talked to an amazing fashion blogger. In this post I will tell you all about it!

Day Zero Project

 

Today I would like to show you an amazing project, people from all over the world are joining. It's day zero. The purpose is to achieve 101 things in 1001 days. My day zero just ended and I didn't achieve everything. This is why I'm busy making a new list with things I want to have done in 1001 days.

It's not just for fun. It has a purpose. Sometimes you aren't proud of yourself. By achieving things in your life, and seeing that you have achieved something, you will be more confident and happy. Even though I did not do everything of my '1001 day bucket list', I see that I have done so many more things than I would have expected. This makes me feel better because sometimes I just don't see the light anymore. Also I'm writing down some fun things to do because sometimes I only think about work. It's easy to forget about the good things. I would love to share my old list with you. It expired somewhere in September because I started on the 5th of December 2010. Curious at my list?

Meet my cat and hat || OUTFIT

Today I am wearing some awesome new clothes. I'm wearing a skirt from Romwe, but I'm also wearing my new hat! And look at this gorgeous knitted hat. I fell like this hat is made for me. When I first looked at the shop Hoedshop.nl I thought it would be darker but the color turned out just fine. I like how vintage and schoolgirl-like this outfit is looking. However it looks a little bit granny, it also keeps it's modern twist because of the deep blue skirt. I love it! Do you?

Strawberry Necklace

A few days ago I got a really cute package from Hoobynoo World. They send me an adorable strawberry necklace called Sally the strawberry. So cute! When I took a quick look at their site I found out this necklace has been ordered by Lateysha Grace and Nicole Morris from MTV's The Valleys, to be worn during the second series. I think this necklace will be such a cute addition to my jewelry collection because it can make any outfit look instantly cute. I also love the red color! What do you think of the necklace? Let me know!

Do you ever keep shoes which don't walk comfortable?
