Looklove: Neutrals

30 Jun 2011

In case you - just like me - sometimes feel tired of all the colour blocking, neon and prints, it's nice to know that a girl can still look fabulous in neutrals, muted colours and basics. Here are some of my favourite streetstyle pics to proove it!

New Hair + French braided bangs

29 Jun 2011

Hi there!

Today I found out that I had passed all my exams! To reward myself I decided to go to the hairdresser for a new colour. I was blond and changed into this: new hair!

Inspired by my new look, I tried out some different hairstyles like french braided bangs.

Now these ar REALLY easy to do! You have to kow that I'm a total klutz when it comes hairstyles and even I could manage them. I used this tutorial as a little helper ;)

So well, I guess I'm not actually still craving for a yellow skirt since I bought this pretty exemplaire from Zara last week, but before that I really did :) And I just wanted to share this pretty inspiring outfits with you! The first one is from Sterlingstyle, one of my daily reads. On the second one you can see the fantastic Taylor Tomasi, photographed by Garance Doré. The third one is from the lovely Emily over at cupcakes and cashmere. I really like how she toned down the yellow with the lace top.

In case you hadn't found your perfect yellow skirt yet: Here are some verry pretty ones...

I've had a fabulous day so far! This morning I went to a gym to give my lazy body a wake-up call. I hadn't worked out for a month (what with all the exams and stuff), so it really felt good! Then I rewarded myself with a relaxing 10 mins on the sunbed. Afterwards I did some shopping with a friend and we had a delicous lunch (a baguette with mozarella, bazil, tomato and black olives, yum!). Back at home I passed some time at Fashion Gone Rogue, where I found this gorgeous editorial for Elle Vietnam.

I really love the rich fabrics, the glittery materials and the animals prints. They're paired with gorgeous chunky jewellery. The combination of all this might have been a bit too much I can imagine, but here it works out perfectly! The pictures even have a very light and breezy atmosphere...

It's shoe time

Very much in love with this pair of tan booties from Topshop! They look exactely like the ones from acne that have been making their way arond the blogosphere a few months ago. They just look so sturdy, timeless, egdy and practical. I really liked them in black too, but those were immediately sold out!

I love the deeply saturated colours in this shoot. It gives the photos retro/eighties feel. And I love the neon dresses! Though I'd rather pair up some neutral with neon accents, like those adorable sunnies in the first pic ;)

As summer vacation is coming closer and closer, I find myself more and more longing for the perfect bikini. Over at Anthropologie they have some very lovely ones this year! I especcially adore the one with the tribal print. Which one is your favourite?

Macaron delight

Macarons Macarons

Above you can see the macarons my boyfriend got me for my birthday - amongst other things, of course ;). I had never tasted macarons, but I was always going on about how cute and stylish they looked and how desperately I wanted to go to "Ladurée" in Paris to try them out! So well, maybe a ticket to Paris would've been a slighty better present but this one is quite close I dare say!

Oh, and by the way: they where absolutely delish!
