Shark Attack Travels... // Monaco

Hi guys,

I apologize for staying away from the blog for such a long time. During my absence, I went on a trip to Italy with my best friend to visit two of our ex-colleagues who are studying Italian. It was the perfect break to re-charge my batteries and was exactly what I needed. During our stay, we went on a road trip to Monaco, which only took us 45 minutes by car to get there. I've been wanting to go to Monaco for as long as I can remember and it's even better in real life.

Some of the highlights... Or lowlights, call it whatever you want:

* Paying 7 euros for a Coca Cola;

* Standing in front of the Hotel de Paris to see al the Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Porches... (you get the picture) drive up and down;

* Dario insulting a local by saying that he didn't like the royal palace -- if looks could kill;

* Feeling like an outsider with my Longchamp bag and cursing myself for not bringing my Chanel bag with me. My mom made me paranoid by saying I'd lose the bag with my luggage at the airport or would forget it somewhere;

* Drooling over all the pretty Chanel Boy bags;

* Chilling at Life Club;

* Hoping I'd bump into Pierre Casiraghi, without any luck;

* People watching at Café de Paris;
* Deciding it was probably best not to go to the Monte Carlo Casino;

* Laughing at Dario who played a paparazzo, hiding behind every trash can and yelling: "OH MY GOD, IT'S KRIZIA THE FASHION BLOGGER" from time to time.

Feature // Forever 21 - The Skinny

Featured along two of my favorite friends / co-bloggers on Forever 21's official blog, also known as The Skinny. I'm still honored each and every time someone comes up, asking if they're allowed to take a picture of my outfit. Plus, it's a nice opportunity to show you what I wore to the F21-store preview, since the outfit-pictures I took weren't the best.

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.

The Bags

Hi everyone!

A lot of you asked me if I could do a post on my bag collection,

and I've finally found the time to take some pictures of my bags.

School is demanding a lot of my time right now,

but I'm doing my best to post as much as I can!

These bags aren't all mine,

I also included those of my mom and my sister,

since we were each other's bags often.

The advantages of living with women who are all interested in fashion. :D

P.S. As you can see, I'm not the best photographer, but I'm working on it! ;)

P.P.S: Prepare yourselves for a picture overload! :D

Longchamp

Here's another bag that's making her first debut on my blog:

The Longchamp Legend-bag.

It was my first 'designer' bag and it was a present from my mom.

She bought it for me on a trip to Lille. 

I remember I had a hard time choosing between this bag and a red Valentino-bag,

but I'm glad I chose this one - You can never go wrong with black. 

The shape reminds me of a doctor's bag,

it's just too bad that the bag isn't that steady anymore as it used to be.

The shape has grown out of it a little.

And I must admit that the bag itself is already a bit heavy to carry, you grow arm muscles carrying
this bag and everything in it for an entire day! :D

Kate Moss has the same bag - As you may know, she was and still is Longchamp's

muse (and now also their co-designer).

I've always been an 'I love gold'-girl.

But when I saw this shiny, silver tank top, I immediately fell in love.

I love the 'wrinkly' effect.

I bought some matching ballerina flats too.

P.S.: Now you can see how terribly short my hair is. 

I still have to get used to it! :(
