Money VS Budget // Dior VS Zara

It's been a while since the last Money VS Budget post, but when I saw these black patent ankle boots with translucent heel at Zara, they immediately reminded me of the boots starring in the Dior Fall '15 fashion show. I couldn't find any prices on the Dior boots; they weren't mentioned on their website. So I guess it's best to visit a Dior store if you want to go for the real deal. 

For more info about the Dior boots, go to their website or to your nearest Dior store. 

You can shop the Zara boots on their website.

Personal // Instagram & Snapchat July 2015

As you may have noticed, it's been a bit silent here for the past month. I decided to take a small break to clear my mind and figure out on where I want to go with my blog. I spent tons of time with family and friends and combined it brainstorming sessions as well. It was perfect to recharge my batteries and I'm full of inspiration and new ideas now.

You can have a sneak peek into my personal life on Instagram and Snapchat; my username on both is Krizia_S. Find some of my favorite pictures and moments of the month of July below. 

Review // Dior Addict It-Line Eyeliner '879 It-Pink'

I love myself some eyeliner, especially when I go out. So when I saw the campaign pictures of the new Dior Addict It-Line Eyeliner in pink, I just knew I had to get my hands on one. I acutally got my hands on the last one at the Inno-store in Antwerp, so I'm just going to consider that as a sign.

What does it promise to do?

Fashion eyes: fabulous line vibrant color. 

Easy, intuitive and addictive application. Get a bold, even and versatile line in one simple stroke for intense "doe-eyed" effect. Quick-drying. Rinsable: easy to remove with warm water or make up remover.

Of course, I couldn't go on using this eyeliner without writing a review about it. Curious to find out my opinion about it and to see the look I created with it? Just click, click, click below!

Shark Attack Loves... // Emma Watson In Christian Dior @ The Golden Globes 2014

Photo: Tumblr

I'm usually not one to go crazy over pretty gowns and dresses at award shows, not because I don't like them, but because there usually isn't anything excited or refreshing going on there. The same happened while watching a recap of the Golden Globes 2014 show - even though I don't think that Jennifer Lawrence's dress was that bad, not bad at all, actually.

And then Emma Watson walked down the red carpet in Christian Dior. I saw the front of the dress and was like: "Yawn, nice color, but that's about it." And then she turned around. The sexy, but classy, open back. The black skinny trousers underneath. This I like. Of course, Emma's getting a lot of criticism through social media (surprise!). I'm sure she sticked to the dress code, she just decided to add her own personal twist to it. Who ever said that there are rules in fashion? To me, fashion is all about experimenting, doing your own thing, expressing your personality and so much more. Just wear what you like and like what you wear.

Beauty // 'Golden Jungle: Crocodile Leather Effect Nails' by Dior

The 'cracked effect' nail polishes have been among us for quite some time now, but for some reason, I always felt that they weren't my thing. While strolling around at Planet Parfum yesterday, I took a look at the Dior section and spotted the words 'Crocodile Leather Effect Nails'. Curious as I am, I asked the sales woman for more information and she told me that it was nail polish similar to those who cause the well known 'cracked' effect, but that the big difference was that this one would create "the crocodile skin effect" on my nails. I still didn't know what the hell she was talking about, but she definitely triggered something inside of me. Not really sure what to expect, I decided to buy the polishes anyway and asked my mom for help, since my nail polish applying skills aren't the best. 

I found a tiny manual inside - thank God - and here's what I had to do:

1. Apply a base coat. Very important, children!

2. Apply a coat of the gold nail polish and wait a maximum of 2 minutes. The first coat should still be slightly wet when proceeding with step 3.

3. Apply a single thin layer of the khaki top coat. After several minutes, the khaki crocodile leather effect will progressively appear on top of the gold base coat.

4. Add a top coat. Very important too.

And so I did. I applied. I waited. And I freakin' loved the result! 

All I've done for the past few hours is staring at my nails. Yup, I've got a new favorite.

Do you want to see the result too?

Outfit // Paris Fashion Week A/W '11

All pictures by Ellaandlouise.com

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!

The Collection

As I promised you in my previous post, 

I went looking for the missing pieces in my collection and I found them.

I'm sorry for the absence on the blog, but school has been taking in a lot of my time!

Lost & Found: J'Adore Dior

When I was younger, I used to collect Dior's collector items -- They designed one 
every season.

I don't know why or when I quit collecting them, but somehow I did and I lost 
my items out of sight. Today, I found this keychain again, which includes two 
colors of lipgloss. As you can see, I never used the lipgloss. I'm not sure if I 
can use them now, since it has been a couple of years since I bought this keychain. 

Now lets hope I can find the other collectors items too!

Things I Can't Live Without

I had my first exam this morning, and I think it went well, but I won't talk about 
it too much, because I don't want to jinx it.
I got up at 6 a.m., and I literally look like *tuut*, so no outfit post today.

The title of this post says it all, I guess. Here are some things I definitely 
cannot live without. The idea to write this post popped up in my head when I got 
home from school.
How come? Just go to the Blackberry-section and you'll understand. 

The first thing I can't live without is, of course, my blog. I never imagined it 
would become such an important part of my life.

Christmas: The Presents

First of all: Merry Christmas!
As you can see, I didn't receive that many presents last night.
I asked for money, so that I can buy some things I really want
and need.

Nevertheless, here are some of the presents I did receive:

1. Maxi dress received from my aunt. Still figuring out when I 
can wear this. :D
2. Miss Dior Chérie-perfume. I always wear this perfume, I love
the sweet scent.
3. Dolce & Gabbana-bag. To be honest: this is my mom's present,
but of course, I can't wait to wear the bag myself. I already
brainstormed about possible outfits to wear this bag with. :D

What were your presents?
