Love You, Queen B.



































I'm totally into Gossip Girl these days, it's the perfect relaxation after a day of studying.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have my first exam tomorrow,
so it's kind of hectic these days.

Even though I wouldn't mind having Serena Van der Woodsen's wardrobe,
I must admit that I like Blair Waldorf's style more.
I really like here preppy, girly and almost doll-like sense of style.
The way Leighton Meester plays Blair's character might be another reason too.
I absolutely love her!
I just wanted to show you some of my favourite pictures of Blair's outfits.

Queen B., you know I love you.

Sienna Miller: Like Or Dislike?

Immanuel from Style 4 Guys posted this picture of Matthew Williamson and Sienna Miller on his Facebook.
When I wrote a comment on how I don't like Sienna Miller,
a small discussion occurred. ;)

It basically comes to this:

Immanuel likes Sienna, I don't.
Is the fact that she's with Jude Law, appearing naked on 9 of the 10 pictures that are being taken of her,
having that annoying smirk on her face (Yes, you're holding Matthew's hand, we get it!)
or the fact that she's screwing around with married rich men?
I don't know - I just don't like her.

Immanuel's reply to this?

"You don't like her because you're a woman. Most women don't like her!"

And now I'm wondering...
Do ALL women hate her?
Feel free to post your opinion here - And also explain why you do or don't like Sienna Miller.
I'm curious already!

P.S.: To show you I'm not THAT mean: I really like the way she's dressed... It's just HER I don't like! ;)

Casual...



































The sun is really shining today,
and I still have to get used to how warm it has been the last couple of days.
I don't really like Sundays - There's nothing to do, most stores are closed ...
That's why I'm wearing such a casual outfit today.

The short is from the H&M Garden Collection,
and I love the fabric... So light and thin.
It's perfect for days like these.
Now that I think about it:
My whole outfit is from H&M. :)

I hope you've had a nice weekend!

Silver & Gold



































I'm going out tonight - Only girls allowed.
We're celebrating the birthday of a friend of mine
(Happy birthday, Marika!), so I decided to keep my outfit all simple for tonight.
The attention has to go to the birthday girl, right???

The weather has improved a lot the last two days, and it's supposed to stay
like that for the next couple of days.
I decided to wear my silver shirt I bought at Rue Blanche:
I love the thin fabric and the way it 'glitters' in the sun.
This shirt definitely belongs to one of my favourites now.
I also bought the tank top in the same colour and fabric.

Since my shirt is silver,
I decided to paint my nails gold - I wanted to break the silver and black pattern.
Too bad the nailpolish isn't really that visible due to the sun.

Shirt: RUE BLANCHE // Jacket: H&M // Pants: H&M // Ankle Boots: NEW LOOK // Sunglasses: RAY BAN // Bag: CHANEL

Happy Birthday To My Beautiful Sister!

Today, on the 19th of May, my sister celebrates her 24th birthday.
Since I won't be able to see her today, I would like to tell her:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU!

My sister means the world to me,
even though I might not show her that as much as I would like to...
I'm going to work on that...



































My sister on the left and myself - both wearing our Christopher Kane outfits. ;)

Even though it might seem that we have the same style - judging from the picture,
it actually isn't true.
There might be some things in which we have the same taste, like handbags for example,
but our style is still quite different.
And that's OK for me. Even though my sister's style is not the same as mine,
I still consider her one of the best dressed people I know.

Once again:

I love you, sis'!

Shark Attack Meets... // The Sartorialist
























I've been waiting anxiously for this picture to arrive. Scott Schuman and I - don't think I have to tell you who he is and where I met him. It still seems so surreal...

Event // Blogger Meeting With The Sartorialist (Official Pictures)

As I promised you in my previous post:
here are the pictures of The Sartorialist-meeting that were taken by the photographer of Oona.
























Mr. Schuman arriving at Maasmechelen Village. I really love this picture. I'm not sure who the two other men are - mabye MMV co-workers? - but I absolutely love the way they are dressed.

Event // Blogger Meeting With The Sartorialist




Today was THE day - my sister and I finally got to meet Scott Schuman a.k.a. The Sartorialist. It was raining this morning, but luckily it already stopped when we arrived at Maasmechelen VillageAfter meeting with Otto, we made our way to the lounge where all the bloggers would come together.

We arrived about half an hour early and there were some bloggers there already. I immediately recognized Emma (My Fashion Blog), Andy (Style Scrapbook), Immanuel (Style 4 Guys) and Emi (Frock 'N Roll). My sister and I both received a goodie bag, which contained... The Sartorialist's book (among other things)! This means we are now in the possession of FOUR books of the Sartorialist. :D

While we were hanging around, waiting for Scott Schuman to come, a friendly boy from Dutch Streetstyle - I forgot to ask his name - asked me if he could take some pictures of me.  It was the first time anyone ever asked me that, so I must admit that I was a little bit nervous. But the pictures looked nice when I saw them on his camera, so I'm really excited to see them!

Michael Black arrived shortly after. He's the Group Merchandising Director for Value Retail and he talked about Scott Schuman while we were waiting for him to arrive. While Michael Black was talking, Mr. Schuman suddenly entered. The first thing I was thinking? "Wow, he seems so normal!" I don't know what I was expecting him to be, but I really loved the fact that he was so down-to-earth. He was so friendly that my nerves disappeared in a heartbeat. He sat down with Michael Black and we were ready to start.

Mr. Black was the first to ask questions - on how The Sartorialist started, for example. I've only see a few people so passionate about what they do - It was so great to see him tell about his big passion with so much love. Afterwards, we even got the time to take a personal picture with Mr. Schuman - I'll put them on here as soon as I get them - and there even was some time to sit down with him for a personal chit chat while he was signing our book.

In this post you'll see some of the pictures I've made. Tomorrow I'll post the pictures that were made by a photographer of Oona. This was such an amazing and interesting day - I still can't believe it happened. I would like to thank the people at Oona for making this possible!

P.S.: Sorry for the long post, but I really wanted to share this experience with you. I haven't even told half of what I would like to!

Event // The Sartorialist's Exhibition At Maasmechelen Village



































As you already may know, my sister and I will be meeting  Scott Schuman / The Sartorialist at Maasmechelen Village tomorrow. There's an expo running about him right now, and he will be at Maasmechelen Village for the closing of the expo.

My sister and I decided to have a look at the expo already, and we took some pictures too. I've decided to show you some pictures right now, but only those pictures that don't give too much away.
Don't want to ruin the surprise, do we? :)

Shark Attack Loves... // The Cointreaupolitan Star



































We all have seen Carrie Bradshaw & Co. drinking Cosmopolitans as if it was water. Forget about that, there's a new cocktail that, I think, will take over that top position.

I wanted to introduce you the Cointreaupolitan Star. The Cointreaupolitan Star will be presented at the Festival of Cannes, to give that little extra to the celebrities that will be strolling around there. The Festival will start at the 12th of May and will end the 23rd of May.

You'll probably be thinking:

'Why the hell is she writing about a cocktail?'

It was the picture of the cocktail that convinced me to write this post. First of all, it is served in the pretty Cosmopolitan / Cointreaupolitan-glasses, which I have always loved. I always wanted the Swarovski ones!

Plus, the cocktail is pink - I'm a girl & I love pink... And last but not least, the glass is decorated with feathers and golden glitters. Yes, for real, golden glitters!!! Just take a look at the picture and you'll know what I mean.

Since not all of us are so lucky to be invited to the Festival of Cannes, there are other options available. You can also taste the Cointreaupolitan Star at l'Axess in Brussels. You could perfectly combine it with a shopping city trip! :)

I rarely drink alcohol, but I'd be willing to make an exception for this! Then again, I'd probably be holding the drink all night long and not drink it, just because it looks so pretty...

New // The Sartorialist Book



























In my previous post, I wrote about how I was waiting for the postman to stop by this morning. Shortly afterwards, while I was putting my make up on, the doorbell rang and I almost flew downstairs! There he was, the postman with an Amazon-package in his hands... They're here!

Two copies of The Sartorialist's book - one for me and one for my sister. As you already may know, since we cannot shut up and write about it, we are going to meet Scott Schuman himself very soon,
so it seemed nice to get our books signed!

Fashion News // Meet The Sartorialist At Maasmechelen Village



































My sister and I have been dying to tell you this, but we had to wait for the official confirmation. We just received it, so now we can tell you that...

THE SARTORIALIST IS COMING TO MAASMECHELEN CHIC OUTLET VILLAGE!

Mr. Scott Schuman himself will be present at Maasmechelen Chic Outlet Village, also known as Maasmechelen Village, on Monday, 17th of May.

I live in Maasmechelen, and I really can't believe he's coming to this teeny tiny place!

My sister and I will get the chance meet him personally - I can hardly breathe -  and to talk about fashion blogging and street style. There will be other bloggers too!

And guess what... You can meet him as well! He will have a signing session for his first book 'The Sartorialist' at 16h30. I already ordered my copy, it should arrive tommorow. You can buy your own copy of the book at the Information Desk at Maasmechelen Village.

And last but not least, there will be an expo running at Maasmechelen Village about The Sartorialist,
from 14th of May to 17th of May. And it's FREE!

A huge, huge, huge thank you to the people at Oona for making this possible!

Don't miss it!
This will be an experience you will never forget!

Collection // Marc Philippe Coudeyre



























My favourite collection at the press event I went to, was definitely the Avalon-collection of Marc Philippe Coudeyre. He is the head designer of Natan, the Belgian brand that dresses our royal family most of the time. Natan has a more classic touch, so I expected the collection of Marc Philippe to be classic too, but it definitely was the opposite. The colours, the fabrics ... Everything is just right. Did you know the jewelry is hand made?

My sister and I kept going back to have a look at the collection over and over again. Even though I like the whole collection, my favourite pieces are the golden / bronze leather shorts, the black glittery jacket and, of course, the black and white outfit I showed you in my previous post.

To see more of Marc Philippe Coudeyre's work or if you would like to buy one of his pieces, you can go to the Princess Blue in Antwerp or to Sketch in Knokke.
