If you don't like The Simpsons, you're probably not in my circle. Whenever I hear that world famous, insanely epic introduction tune, flashbacks are taking me back to simpler times that took place years ago. I can still remember watching every single episode, sitting in my grandparents' living room with my sister after school, waiting for our parents to pick us up on their way back from work. Damn, what I'd give to relive it all just one more time.
When Blackfive gave me the opportunity to pick out some items from their web shop, I immediately clicked this Bart Simpson shirt home. Now, I would be me if I didn't add a touch of leather to my outfits, so I decided to combine it with this leather pencil skirt. I'm really loving how this look turned out. Ay caramba!

If you had told me that I'd be wearing Nikes incorporated in an outfit a couple of months ago, I probably would've looked at you with my best "Yeah Right" type of smirk on my face, eye rolling included. I never really got the trend / hype / whatever you want to call it, but I must say it most definitely tickled my curiosity.
When a super friendly fella from JD Sports mailed me, asking me if I'd like to choose a pair of the shoes they're offering on their website, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to find out what it is that everyone likes about wearing Nike sneakers combined every outfit possible: casual, chic, sporty or yet super feminine ... it seems globally accepted to wear Nikes with everything nowadays.
I decided to go for these white / grey / pink Nike Max Thea sneakers and threw them on for a day out with my mom. A pair of skinny jeans, a simple tank top and my lace bra (to add that girly touch, y'know?) seemed like the perfect, yet still kinda safe combo for losing my Nikerginity -- yes, I just invented that word. I can definitely see why everyone wears them, since they are extremely comfortable. It feels as if you're having super comfy cushions stuck on the bottom of your feet. However, I was a bit paranoid while wearing them, a feeling I rarely get when it comes to wearing clothes. I constantly kept asking my parents if I looked OK, if the sneakers matched my outfit, if they were 'me' or not.
I'll be honest: I think they are dope as hell, even though I still have the urge to wear them to the gym and to the gym only -- nothing wrong with that, right? However, you never know; there's always a chance that you might see these Thea's on the blog more often.
Please Note: Even though Birkenstocks are also in the 'Acceptable To Wear With Every Outfit Imaginable'-section, you will never EVER see me wearing them. To those who do wear them: no hard feelings?

I'm so late with this post -- most of you will already have read tons of posts about this event -- but I still wanted to share my pictures of the most talked about and most anticipated store opening of the year: & Other Stories. Even though I was sick as *beep*, I jetted off to Antwerp for a night full of drinks, bites, clothes, shoes, make up and a reunion with my blogger buddies. That's me with my darling Valerie of the blog Mirror Of Fashion in the picture above. Be sure to check out her blog, I love her!
The & Other Stories store in Antwerp is a gigantic 2-floor building filled with the most drool worthy items. The brand is registered under the H&M Group and has ateliers in both Paris and Stockholm, which definitely shows in their clean, minimalistic yet sophisticated design. And not to forget: your wallet will love the store too, since everything is totally affordable. Thumbs up! My favorites are the shoes and beauty department; they are out of this world.
The store was literally packed with fashion lovers, celebrities, bloggers ... but I still managed to snap some pictures before it was too crowded. Enjoy!
Another Clinique beauty product has landed on Shark Attack's HQ (which still is my kitchen table, but still sounds fancier). Leave it to Clinique to be always on the search to improve and re-invent themselves. They recently launched the 'Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm' and I was more than happy to try it out.
I must admit that I'm kinda sloppy when it comes to removing my make up before I go to sleep. I even go to bed without even trying to take it off more than once... I can hear all the beauty bloggers (and normal people who just know it's the right thing to do) gasping for air as we speak / read / whatever.
Anyway, thanks to Clinique and their new cleansing balm, I now had an excuse to remove my make up like a good girl and so I did. Want to know my opinion?
