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 // Royal

I've been loving history as long as I can remember; it was my favorite class in high school and I finished my bachelor in history and English. Ancient Egypt has always caught my curiousity and triggered me to read and learn about it. We know so much, yet so little about it.

I remember that in high school, my class had to pick an historic figure and give a speech about it. My choice was Tutankhamun, or also known as King Tut. This young pharaoh ruled during the 18th dynasty and even though he didn't accomplish anything admirable during his reign, we all know him. Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley Of The Kings on 4 November 1922; one day before my birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Sorry, I can be very obsessive when it comes to Ancient Egypt. Anyway, he did not only discover King Tut's mummified body, but also a huge treasure that was scattered all over the tomb. The most valuable and well known item that was found that day, is Tut's solid gold burial mask. It was always a dream of mine to discover a pharaoh's tomb that has been left untouched - since most of them have been raided by thieves - but I think it's safe to say that it ain't gonna happen any time soon (or ever, for that matter). I could go on about this topic for days, but at least now you know why I'm such a huge history lover.

Anyway, back to my high school days. I gave my speech about Tutankhamun and got an A+. The teacher even forgave me for talking about Howard Hughes instead of Howard Carter. I had seen the movie 'The Aviator' just the day before - they were playing it on TV - and he had seen it too, so he understood the mix up and was quite amused about it. 

When Fusion Clothing gave me the opportunity to choose one of their sweaters, I immediately clicked the King Tut sweater home. I just L-O-V-E it. I love how bold and eye catching the sweater is. You really don't need more to pimp out your outfit to the max. Even though we are experiencing tropical temperatures here in Belgium the last couple of days, I still found a way to make the sweater work: tank top, denim short and my beloved sweater tied around my waist.

What do you think?

Outfit // Summer's In the Air

... And baby, heaven's in your eyes.

I'm your national anthem.

Adding some Lana Del Rey to remember the glorious sunny day we had here in Belgium. I also read that we will probably have a nice, warm and almost rainless summer, which makes me happy. And I finally managed to get my hands on these awesome Stan Smith For Adidas-sneakers, which makes me happy as well. *Insert Pharrell Williams here*

Even though I've been absent for a while, I don't have that much to say. My grandmother passed away, so life was hectic, chaotic and emotional -- which explains why I haven't been blogging lately. Plus, I'm taking over my colleague's full time hours for the next two months, so I have to figure out how to combine work and blogging for the next couple of weeks.

I'm off to pay my grandfather a visit now.
Enjoy your evening!

Outfit // Never Grow Up

Never grow up... A motto that suits me perfectly. Just thinking about getting older gives me anxiety / panic attacks and visiting my grandmother in the elderly home gets me depressed for the rest of the day. I know, my dad always tells me that I should be grateful to live a long life, but it's just the way I feel bout this subject. Call me the female Peter Pan. 

When I saw this Donald Duck T-shirt on Choies, I just had to click it home. I've been to Disneyland about 9 times now (and I want to plan a new trip soon) and Donald Duck has always been my favorite 'old school' character. I think it's because my dad can do the best Donald Duck imitation -- he did it once again when he saw me wearing this shirt and I still get tears from laughter every time he does it. Besides that, this shirt reminds me of simpler times, when I was literally care free and day dreaming non stop. It helps me escape, even if it's for a little while. Then again, you're never too old for Disney, right?

Outfit // Ballin'

Temperatures are finally rising here in Belgium, giving me the perfect opportunity to wear the Balmain jacket my dad got me during sales in January. I was doubting to wear it with a pair of black jeans - fearing that I'd look like a bumble bee - but I think it turned out pretty well.

Besides that, I don't really have that much to say. For the last couple of days I've been working and enjoying the sun with my family and friends. That's about it!

Shark Attack Travels // Ascoli Piceno: Lost Count

Sooo, this happened during my holiday here in Italy. Remember my previous post, where I told you I was meeting up with 2 friends from Belgium? Something funny happened that night and while we were still laughing about it, I slipped and broke my ankle. Apparently, I can't laugh and walk at the same time. I was wearing my Chloé Susan boots and it's actually the second time I fell while wearing them, because the sole is so slippy. I definitely learned my lesson. Should I sue them? Just kidding, because I love those shoes to death. The first thing I thought was: "Oh my God, are my Chloé shoes okay???" Until my friend asked me: "Are you in pain?" And I was like: "Yeah, acutally I am!"

The picture above was taken right before I went to the hospital. I got all dressed up, explaining to my mom that I might bump into a Dr. McDreamy or Dr. McSteamy. Well, that didn't happen and we ended up sitting in the First Aid waiting room from 10.30 am 'till 6 pm. Italian hospitals are the worst and you have to pray that you don't end up there during your holiday. I rented some crutches and a wheel chair, but the doctor told me to stay inside and keep my leg still. That's why, as stated in this post's title, I lost count of which day we are today. Anyway, here are some snaps of when I was being a rebel and went outside.

HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER!!! LOVE YOU!

Shark Attack Travels // Ascoli Piceno: Day 4 + 5

The reason why I skipped 2 days of photographs is because I was stuck inside, collecting votes for the competition in which I could win a vintage Chanel-bag. My best friend Dario spent 3 days at my aunt's restaurant back in Belgium, asking every single client that entered to vote for me. He's such a sweetheart and I bought him a nice Thank You-gift, but I can't tell you what it is, because he reads my blog! I ended 2nd in the competition and I want to thank everyone who voted for me!

We went to Meletti to drink a crodino yesterday, which is a 100-year-old bar and used to belong to the Meletti family, famous for their anisette. After that, we went straight home. It started to rain again, so it wasn't fun to stay outside.

P.S.: Sorry for the repetitive bag and shoes. Flying with Ryanair comes with tons of restrictions, so I hate to limit myself to one bag and two pair of shoes (my Chloé boots and Chanel espedrilles). A nightmare for every blogger!

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.
