Outfit // Take Two

Take one: wearing this shirt with no belt, with a pair of black skinny jeans and my grey Isabel Marant sneakers.

Take two: enter belt and boot, exit Isabel Marant sneakers (I still love you, babies).

That moment when you're wearing an outfit you think looks fabulous on you, decide to shoot it, look at the pictures and think: "Dude, WTF happened?" That's exactly what happened when I was wearing the first outfit. Such a bummer though, because I shot that particular outfit during a shopping trip to Maastricht, meaning that I finally switched locations and therefore had a different, non-bricked background for a change. #FirstClassProblems

As for the hair... I wanted to go back to blonde and I don't know what the hell that hairdresser was sniffing on, but it turned out this ginger / copper / I don't know-kinda color. Not exactly what I signed up for, but hey, it's just hair. Cut it off, it'll grow back. Dye it and don't like it, just dye it again. 

And as for the lipstick: probably my new favorite. It's called 'Flat Out Fabulous' and it's by MAC. Plus, it's not red! *Shocker* But it's a nice change and it's matte -- I love matte lipstick.

Trend // Bambi Prints

I was figuring out what to wear this morning, when I stumbled upon these two items that were given to me by the ever so sweet people at Sugarhill Boutique. Bambi prints! It's not the first time we've seen them pop up on clothes before, which is how the idea for this post came to mind.

Shark Attack Loves... // Balmain F/W '13

I'm probably way too late with this, but I still wanted to share what I hope will become at trend for this fall and winter. I've had a gazillion things to do lately and it was only until yesterday that I had the chance to have a look at the F/W '13-collections.

I'm not a big fan of winter clothes, to be honest. They make me feel trapped and claustrophobic. Turtlenecks are one of those items that send chills down my spine. They literally make me feel as if I can't breathe and I think I only own two of them, both purchased by my mom. Too bad for me, but it seems that turtlenecks are going to be one of the must have items again for fall and winter...

While browsing to the collections, the Balmain one immediately caught my eye. I'd already seen a flash of it on Sofie's website, but I could finally have a closer look at it. While clicking trough the images, I immediately knew: TURTLENECKS. Oh, the horror. Until I clicked a bit further and I bumped into the leather turtleneck pictured above. You know me, give me some leather and I'm a happy girl. Leather turtlenecks... I must admit that they definitely triggered something inside me. I'll keep an eye open for them and who knows: the leather version might change my opinion.

The leather turtlenecks are nice, but I just love love loveee the draped skirts and the fact that they're worn over black pants. They're going straight on top of my wish list. I can already see myself wearing them with a pair of black skinny trousers and leather boots, preferably over the knee or high waisted. The fact that they're gem colored, such as ruby, amethyst and emerald, makes it even better. 

Thoughts?

Outfit // Globetrotter

I'm so excited that I can finally show you this adorable dress by Sugarhill Boutique! It's my favorite piece from the F/W '13-collection. The print contains all of my favorite must-sees over the world. I've already had the opportunity to see the Eiffel Tower and the Statue Of Liberty myself, so up next are the pyramids in Egypt or the Taj Mahal in India. Not on my dress, but still on my list: the Great Wall of China. 

Sugarhill Boutique has captured my heart since the first time I got to know the British brand. I still have other items to show you and I can't wait to hear your opinion about them. If you want to discover the brand yourself, you can visit their website. Bonus: all of the items are super affordable.

Luckily, there are a couple of selling points in Belgium too. You can find Sugarhill Boutique at  Vegas (Antwerp) and at Hippy Chic (Leuven). #Happy

By the way: I absolutely love the lighting in some of these pictures. Doesn't the light mark remind you of the pictures in The Omen? One of the best movies ever, just saying!
Last thing to add... Knees are the ugliest body part ever.

Outfit // Leather On Leather

To my readers who started school again: I wish you all the best for this new year! You might not believe me, but you're actually going to miss school at one point in your life, so enjoy it as much as you can.

As for the outfit: it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it was exactly what I had in mind when I found this leather pencil skirt at New Look. I think this is my favorite look up 'till now. Not very practical - no air and too much sweat - but definitely my thing. I never thought I'd dare to participate in the cropped-topped-bare-belly-trend, but these high waisted skirts are perfect to cover up most of your, uhm, flaws. ;)

Sorry for not moving too much from my spot, but my neighbors were all peeking through their windows or passing by 'on purpose' while shooting this outfit. Trying to keep low profile.
