Money VS Budget // Céline VS H&M

I spotted this round gold hair clip at H&M and it immediately reminded me of the models' hair during the Céline S/S 2015 show. There are multiple valid reasons why this accessory would be a justified purchase: 

- You don't need major skills in the hair department to nail this look.

- It will make every bad hair day disappear. 

- This look will cost you only 1 minute of your time.

- It's the perfect look for every occasion.

- You will look like a Céline model. Enough said.

I searched the entire web, but I never found any details on if the Céline clip was ever for sale. On another note: the H&M clip could be yours for only € 3,99 / $ 4,99. You can find it in stores or on their website.

What do you think about this look?

Is it something you would do with your hair?

Review // Clinique Summer Skincare

Aah, summer... The season that I have a love / hate relationship with. As much as I love feeling the sunshine on my skin, I hate all the things I have to deal with in order to keep my skin protected. Even though I'm 100 % Italian, my skin prefers to think otherwise. I'm very pale - Edward Cullen ain't got sh*t on me - and I hardly get a tan. I already made peace with the fact that I will never have a bronze glow and became best friends with the shadow over the years. Tanning beds are not for me either. I just don't have the patience nor the will to lock myself into a cancer spreading box. 

Don't get me wrong: it's not that I go into complete isolation during summer, but I know my limits and I am aware of what my skin can or can not handle. So I do sit in the sun from time to time - I have to soak up some vitamin D - but you will never see me laying in the sun for hours straight. Plus, I also apply sunscreen like no other. My friends like to make fun of my paleness and my sunscreen obsession, but I just don't want to risk damaging my skin for nothing. 

A couple of weeks ago, Clinique sent me some products to try out this summer, including a scrub, a body cream, a face cream and after sun. My trip to Italy and the recent Belgian heatwave gave me the perfect opportunity to try them out.

Disclaimer: These products were sent to me by a PR company / brand for review purposes.

Fashion // Get Ready For Festival Season

Festival season is upon us and I couldn't be happier. I managed to get my hands on a ticket for Pukkelpop, which is a festival near my home town and which I attend every year. This time, it was a bit harder, though. The tickets were sold out as soon as they were released and I was kinda heartbroken, because Linkin Park will perform there and I was a big fan as a teenager. They released extra tickets afterwards and I was too late again; sold out in 2 minutes and it left me heartbroken even more. And then they released another 1000 tickets and I finally got one! Linkin Park, here I come! 

Even though the festival isn't until August, I'm already brainstorming on what to wear. Each year, I browse through pictures of celebrities that attended Coachella for inspiration. Coachella is on my bucket list big time and I hope to get there one day (soon). This year, it was all about fringe, mini or maxi skirts, cropped tops and tiny cross body bags. I thought it would be fun to collect some of my favorite Coachella 2015 looks and to also show you where to shop them. I tried to limit myself to well known, affordable websites such as Asos, Boohoo, River Island and Topshop. 

Are you planning to attend any festivals this summer? If so, which one(s)?

Happy shopping!

Personal // Instagram & Snapchat June 2015

And here's my Instagram and Snapchat recap from June! I went on a holiday to Italy and spent quite some nights at Baouzza, a pop up club in the neighborhood that only opens in the summer. We also visited the Japanese garden in Hasselt and it's such a peaceful place; I fell in love with it. The Snapchat video is a short one, because I didn't want to bother my readers / YouTube viewers with double images from my holiday. I made vlogs about my stay in Sorrento and Capri, which you can see here, here and here.
