New // Balenciaga Glove Sandals

Yes, another pair of shoes. But I had to buy them, I just had to! I went on a shopping trip to Maastricht with my parents and one of the stores we always visit is Kiki Niesten, which has the best selection when it comes to Balenciaga, Céline and Chloé. 

And what's even better: they have an outlet - Kiki 2 - across the store with discounts up to 70 %. Needless to say that the outlet is on top of our 'To Shop'-list too. When I bumped into the famous 'Glove' sandals by Balenciaga at a 70% discount AND in my size, I knew I would be sorry if I didn't get them. After convincing my dad that I really did need another pair of shoes in my life, I decided to go for it.

Just imagine them combined with a pair of skinny jeans, a dress, a skirt... They go with everything, right? Right??? Timeless classics to the core, yes! 

You can get them on My Theresa in white, nude or hot purple here. 

New // Liberty Necklace

Ever since Carrie Bradshaw wore a customised name necklace in the Sex And The City-series, it quickly became an it-item. It's cute, it's something personal and it's the perfect way to remember someone's name if you, like me, have some trouble with that. #OopsieMoment

A while ago, I got an email from Mijn Naamketting, a Dutch website which designs and sells customised name necklaces. They're hosting a month dedicated to women and they were looking for empowering women -- that's how they called it. Me? Empowering? I'm quite honored, I must say. They asked me if I would like to be gifted a necklace with one of my favorite words. The word had to represent what it means for me to be a woman and a blogger. So, here's the story behind the word I've chosen... 

Liberty: the condition of being free from restriction or control. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.

That's what I believe in. I've always been a free spirit, looking for new ways to test my limits. It gave my parents quite some headaches and ulcers, but I'm 100 % convinced that the best way to learn about life is to live it to the fullest, mistakes and failures included. Being a woman, I often hear people say: "That's different, because you're a woman." God, how I detest it when people talk like that. As a teenager, I kept playing Christina Aguilera's song 'Can't Hold Us Down' over and over again. The cliché that men are allowed to do more than women, purely based on their gender, should be banned for all eternity. 

What it means to me as a blogger? Easy peasy. The fact that this is MY blog, MY personal space, that I can wear what I want, write about what I want... That's what I love most about blogging. No restrictions, no limits. Hell, I can even publish 10 blog posts a day if I want to. There's no one that can tell me what I can or cannot do and padapapapaaaa... I'm loving it! Sorry, lame McDonald's-moment. See? This is exactly what I mean with the above. I can even write about lame McDonald's-moments if I want to. 

Now, just out of curiosity... Which word would you pick to represent yourself as a woman (and blogger)?

Outfit // Denim Touch

After feeling sorry for myself and my eye infection, I decided to stop wallowing and get back to outfit shooting again. As you can probably notice, it hasn't healed just yet, but at least I don't look like the Hunchback Of Notre Dame anymore. I don't really have that much to say... This weekend was rather emotional. They closed down the place where I worked for 5 years yesterday and saying goodbye to one of the best teams of colleagues in history was rather hard.

Anyway... I love the high waist / cropped pants combo with my Chloé boots - that you're probably already tired of. Just another outfit with the typical rock 'n roll touch that I love and for some reason, I immediately associated this outfit with London. I guess the British rock 'n roll culture is rooted in my heart big time now. It was time to take out my Stella McCartney Falabella bag again, which was a graduation gift for my mom. Being a firm believer of investing in designer bags: if you're looking for the perfect casual one for every day use, I'd highly suggest the Falabella. 

P.S.: I love this pink Stella McCartney Falabella Python wallet - as seen in You Magazine - and couldn't help but think how awesome the black and pink combo would be.  #Love

Money VS Budget // Kourtney Kardashian VS Krizia Schiavone

I was watching one of the new episodes of 'Kourtney & Kim Take Miami' and I couldn't help but wonder if Kourtney Kardashian might read Shark Attack - Fashion Blog...

Lol, just kidding. It was too funny not to post about it. Blue turban, the same Prada Baroque-sunnies... Talk about a déjà vu-moment! Sorry, I just had to. Little inside joke. I love the Kardashians, no joke. Khloé is my favorite K, though. She's fun, open minded and easy going. Kourtney, on the other hand, breeds some damn adorable kiddos. Mason is such a handsome little boy! 

The next 'Money VS Budget'-post will be a serious one again. I promise.
