A different type of outfit post, since I'm still (ugh) struggling to juggle the blog, a full time job, a household and my social life. Here are some snaps of my outfit that my boyfriend took in between and that I uploaded on my Instagram-account. Apart from the last couple of days, the weather has been good to us in Belgium.

It has been raining cats and dogs now, but the sun should come out again this weekend -- which is great news, since I'll be attending Tomorrowland this Friday. Who else will be there? My mind has been going overdrive on which outfit to wear, though. I still haven't decided, so a little help is always appreciated. Tell me, what's your favorite go to outfit for a festival?

Let me know!

Kiss! 

Outfit // Boy

Well, well... It looks like spring is finally hitting Belgium! Time to take my Boy out for his first photoshoot! It feels so good to be a mom, hehe. I haven't worn another bag ever since I got this one -- it's been a long time since I have been in love this much. Superficial much? Probably. After keeping a spring cleaning in my closet, I rediscovered these Isabel Marant pants that I got a couple of years ago. They're very low and expose practically everything when I sit down, but I still don't have the courage to part from them. Overexposure it is, then! Oh, and totally-worn-off leather jacket is another item I can't say goodbye to... Not until I have found a notable replacement. 

Now that the sun is shining, I finally had the chance to try out my Tavat sunnies. My eyes are very sensitive; whenever the first rays of sun come out or the streets are covered with white, bright snow I get teary eyes, a burning feeling and a headache as soon as I step outside. The symptoms go away after a minute or ten, but it has made me much more aware of eye protection. Tavat is know for their melanin lenses, which block both harmful UV rays and violet-blue light. I'm going to spare you all the technical details (you can read them on their website here) but I have noticed that, when wearing the Tavat sunglasses, I don't have to squint my eyes so much anymore. My eyes will always be a weak point, but it's nice to actually notice a difference.

Outfit // Fresh Popcorn

These pictures were taken in Antwerp by Annebeth before an event. It was one of the first sunny days of the new year, so I decided to finally wear the Fresh Popcorn shirt by Filles À Papa that I got a while ago. My dad hates it, but I think it's too cool. Filles À Papa can do nothing wrong for me -- literally. I decided to combine it with two other items that I hadn't worn in a while: the Stella McCartney Falabella bag that my mom got me as a graduation gift and my beloved Chloé Susanna boots. 

I've been quite happy for the past couple of days. Q-Music has been playing the Top 500 From The 90s non stop on the radio and it brings back so many memories! It got me dancing and singing all day long, to the point that it's driving my friends crazy. I also got tickets for the I Love The 90s party next month. Peter Andre and Hanson are going to perform. I repeat: PETER ANDRE AND HANSON ARE GOING TO PERFORM! I used to have a major crush on Peter Andre when I was in my early teens and everyone has danced and sung to MMMBop at least once. Don't you dare to deny it. I'm so excited and I'm already thinking about my 90s outfit; big hoop earrings, super dark lipliner, pink eyeliner, high wasted jeans ... It's so difficult to choose just one 90s trend. What's your favorite memory / trend / song ... from the 90s?

Outfit // Foulard

Some quick shots of what I wore for meeting up with my friends to do some drinks. I ordered this foulard / scarf / whatever you want to call it on Asos a while ago and never got around to wear it; until now. My friends compared me to a dog, a farmer AND asked me if I had a hickey that I wanted to hide, but I think it adds a little extra touch to the look, don't you? The Balmain-shirt is a recent purchase and even though I usually don't like big logos on my clothes, I think this one's cute. It has some cool details on the shoulder, which I forgot to photograph. Oopsie.

Before I forget: I'm sorry for not looking into the camera very often in these photos. If you don't pose right while wearing this scarf (a.k.a. looking straight into the camera), there will be some major double chin alert. Or maybe I just have one, that's possible too.

Outfit // Leather On Leather

To my readers who started school again: I wish you all the best for this new year! You might not believe me, but you're actually going to miss school at one point in your life, so enjoy it as much as you can.

As for the outfit: it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it was exactly what I had in mind when I found this leather pencil skirt at New Look. I think this is my favorite look up 'till now. Not very practical - no air and too much sweat - but definitely my thing. I never thought I'd dare to participate in the cropped-topped-bare-belly-trend, but these high waisted skirts are perfect to cover up most of your, uhm, flaws. ;)

Sorry for not moving too much from my spot, but my neighbors were all peeking through their windows or passing by 'on purpose' while shooting this outfit. Trying to keep low profile.

Outfit // California 66

I got this shirt at the new Sandro and Maje store at Maasmechelen Outlet Village, which has become my new favorite store in town as soon as I walked in. Two of my favorite brands at a major discount? It can't get better than that.

This shirt has 'summer' written all over it, with the number referring to the historic Route 66. You know, the route that starts in Chicago and goes all the way to Los Angeles? It's been a dream of mine to go on a road trip through the USA and even if it's still a dream for now, I hope I can make it come true some day. In the meanwhile, this shirt will do just fine. I'll be going on a 10-day trip to Italy in a couple of weeks to visit some family and go back to the place where I used to spend every summer. It's been 10 years since the last time I've been there, so it's needless to say that I'm excited. Plus, I might be going to Santorini this summer with some friends, so things are looking good so far.

I paired this shirt with my favorite leather jacket that I've worn to death (it used to be pitch black when I bought it) but that I just can't say goodbye to, some fake diamond earrings to bling things up, my purple jelly flats and my purple Balenciaga bag. Matchy matchy, but not too much.

Outfit // Egyptofunk

If you're a regular follower of the blog, you've probably noticed my collection of printed T-shirts by now. Some might think they're childish, but I just can't stop the urge to buy one more every time I see 'em. So when Balenciaga's Egyptofunk collection hit the runway, the hunt for one of these T-shirts started. I failed miserably hunting down Givenchy's Rottweiler-shirt and when I started seeing the Egyptofunk on all fashionistas possible during Fashion Week AGAIN, my fear of them being sold out started to grow stronger every second. But fear not, my friends! 'Cause I've found the Skyline Vegas Shirt at  Handsome in Hasselt. Some might think they're an 'it-item' which will only last for this season, but I don't give sh*t. Printed shirts are my thangggg, y'know?

Anyway, the futuristic prints remind me of 'Back To The Future'. Totally love that. But I also link them with those bad ass Wonder Woman heroines -- don't ask me why. Since most heroines wear tons of leather, and I happen to own tons of leather, I decided to go for an all leather suit while wearing the shirt for the first time: my totally worn off leather jacket, my new high waisted leather pants from the Lana Del Rey-collection at H&M (whatever Lana loves, I love too, lol) and my leather boots -- which, combined with my leather pants, look as if I'm wearing bootleggings or leggingboots. None of the two previous mentioned terms actually exist, but I think you get the picture. Since there's some purple in my shirt, I decided to take out my purple Balenciaga-bag. A bit of matchy matchy, but not too much. 

As for the hair, I cut and dyed it. It was very necessary, even if I don't like the result. As for my eyebrows... Don't even ask. I have to draw them with a pencil 'cause I managed to get half of my brows waxed away during a 'waxing malfunction' (another non-existent word) and lets just say I'm not so good at drawing. It's not like I have another option, so yeah.

Outfit // In Front Of The Camera

It doesn't happen every day that someone follows you around with a camera, but it's exactly what happened to me today. An ex-class mate is studying journalism now and she's making a reportage about fashion bloggers. She asked me if she could follow me around on one of my 'blogging days' and voilà, I'm getting filmed while I'm typing this. 

This is just a comfy outfit to work on my internship and go out for drinks with some friends tonight. The colors of my shirt matched these Chloé wedges very well and since I haven't worn them for ages, I decided it was the right time to take them out for a spin again. :)

As for the shirt: you all know that I'm a big fan of The Doors. I'm actually planning to marry Jim when I go to heaven (or hell?). Yes, I've got my future all figured out. ;)

I'm so in love with these pictures Kim took of Sofie (on the right in the picture above) and I during Paris Fashion Week, outside of Dior. It was my first fashion week and I was so happy to bump into Sofie, since I didn't knew anybody there. I also got to meet Kim, who has quickly become a dear friend of mine. Thanks for the pictures, baybay!

Outfit // Glam*It

A while ago, while shopping in Antwerp, I was stopped by the Glam*It-team and asked if I wanted to get featured in the 'She's Got The Look'-section. Yes, please!

Glam*It is one of my favorite magazines - I read it every month. So, when their main company announced that Glam*It would be taken off the shelves, hundreds of Belgian fashionista's were mourning this decision. The last Glam*It-issue hit the stores this month and I'm so bummed! Even though my picture didn't make it into the magazine anymore, I'm still proud that they even considered me to get featured. Glam*It's fashion editor Elspeth sent me the picture just now -- Thanks, Elspeth!

I was wearing:

Jacket: BERSHKA // Blouse: H&M // Shorts: H&M // Shoes: ACNE PISTOL BOOTS // Bag: BALENCIAGA 

P.S.: May I also add I that find knees ugly? This picture proved me right once again.

Outfit // The Doors

For today's outfit I got inspired by one of my all time favorite bands: The Doors. Their lead singer, Jim Morrison, used to wear these type of outfits all the time, meaning leather pants, leather boots, chunky belts, a white or black shirt and a leather jacket.

I can still remember the first time I heard a song of The Doors. I think I must have been 14 or 15 years old and I was watching a movie called 'The Lost Boys'. In the movie, they play The Doors' song called 'People Are Strange' during one of the scenes. There was something about Morrison's voice that got me completely hooked and I still am today.

Last spring, I finally got to visit Jim Morrison's final resting place. He's buried in the Père Lachaise-cemetary in Paris. I had been waiting for this opportunity for years and I found it so strange how I could feel so sad about a person I'd never even met or known in my life. I guess it shows how much music can affect us. I've put one of my favorite songs in the end of the post, called 'The End'. This music might  not be everyone's cup of tea, but I still wanted to share it with you, since music is a big part of my life too.

Outfit // Twinkle

Wearing one of my new favorite items in my closet: this pink and silver treaded shirt I found at Zara. I love the cut, the shape, the colors and the fact that it has a teeny tiny Missoni-print if you look closely. I paired the shirt up with a rather simple outfit, so that the shirt doesn't get blocked out by something else. These pictures were taken before my trip to Brussels, where I had a lunch date with Aureta. You'll see pictures of my stay in Brussels in my next post.

I bet you're thinking: "Is she wearing those sunglasses AGAIN???"

Yes, because I have a major crush on them and I wish I could wear them all the time. Today, a boy even asked me if he could touch the sunglasses, giving me a whole speech on why he loved these glasses that much. It was so cute. :D

In a couple of hours I'll be 'running' in the Stiletto Bloggers Run among Kim, Kim # 2, Kim # 3, Afrodite and Hanane and Farah from Fashion Fabrice. Here are some quick outfit shots of what I'll wear during the run! Of course, I'll post a full report of the Stiletto Bloggers Run ASAP!

Gotta run (literally), talk to you later!

Outfit // In Bloom

The sun shining, everything around you in bloom ... Could it be more perfect? When I saw it would be a great day, I immediately took out my red pants I showed you in my previous post. What do you think? As for the location: we shot these pictures in a hidden park I never knew existed until my mom told me about it today. I'm wearing the same top as in my previous outfit post - bad blogger - but I loved it combined with these pants.

Outfit // Old Pink

Hi everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed this beautiful sunny day! 

My mom and I went shopping in Maastricht, and since the weather was perfect, we decided 
to take some outfit pictures.

I've been a good girl and I've been keeping my promise on adding some more color in 
my wardrobe. I bought this old pink - How do you say this in English? - blouse a couple 
of days ago, which is perfect for days like these: warm, but not that warm to walk 
around with bare arms. I love the light fabric!

Unfortunately, it seems that I won't be separated from my favorite leather jacket, 
which I wore to give this outfit an edgy touch... Again!  

For such warm and sunny days I prefer not too much make up, since I have a very 
sensitive skin. I'm only wearing some lipstick and mascara.

I think this outfit would have been better with heels, but unless you want a broken 
ankle, I advise you to wear some flats if you ever visit Maastricht! The city is 
covered all over with cobbles and they really ruin your heels.

Enjoy this sunny day!

x Krizia

P.S. I'm still figuring out how I can get my pictures to have the same largeness, 
so bare with me! Suggestions are always welcome!

*UPDATE* An anonymous reader informed that the right term for this color is dusty 
pink! Thank you!

Paris Fashion Week // Day & Night

Here are the other pictures of my Parisian day and night during Fashion Week.

I miss Paris already - Two of my greatest interests are out there:
history and fashion.
I didn't have to time to be the tourist, but I'll go back to Paris
next month with my best friend, and we'll go to all the touristic 
places. :D

P.S.: In this post you'll see the celebrity I saw on the
Champs-Elysées.

Outfit // KISS

Finally, the sun is shining again, which 
instantly reflects on my mood and outfits too.
My mom took these pictures, and we had so much fun! 

Even though I like to dress girly, I also love to wear 
outfits with a raw edge. The KISS-shirt is actually a 
men's shirt, but since I'm a big fan of KISS, I had to 
have it.

I think I'll take this leather jacket, the shorts and the 
tights with me to Paris Fashion Week this Friday for my 
outfit throughout the day. I'll change the shirt 
and shoes - I wouldn't last long wearing these ones - and 
add some accessories. What do you think?
For the event I'll attend at night, I have another outfit, 
of course.

Hi everyone!

Here's a quick post of yesterdays outfit. The sun was shining,
so my mom and I decided to go out shopping -- Didn't find 
anything, though. 

I decided to go for the 'chic-meets-rock' look, finally wearing
my favorite leather jacket again. 
I'm a big fan of leather jackets combined with dresses. 
What about you?

P.S.: As you may notice, I have the habit to twirl my hair when
I'm taking outfit pictures. ;)

King Of Pop

Today's my first day off after 8 long days of work -- I slept until 11 a.m., which is probably the first time that ever happened.
Even if I go out, I'm already awake at 9 a.m.

I was standing in front of my closet, going through my shirts, when I bumped into this one that
I found at Zara a couple of months ago.
I can still remember what I was doing when Michael Jackson passed away.
It was one of those events that everyone will always remember -- It's like when someone asks you:
"What were you doing when you heard about 9/11?"
Now it's something like:
"What were you doing when you heard that MJ passed away?"

I was still sleeping, when my sister came into my room to tell me the news.
The night before, I was watching the news, when they said that the King Of Pop had a heart attack.
I couldn't believe it, hoping it was a mistake.
When he was accused of child abuse, I always said he was innocent. A lot of people laughed at me because of that,
but I didn't and still don't care.
And his 'Greatest Hits'-collection was and is always playing in my car, along with Guns 'n Roses.
So, here's my tribute to the one and only King Of Pop -- R.I.P.
