La Vie En Rose | OOTW

Let's put on our rose coloured sunglasses for this week's outfit, because I'm having the best summer you could possibly imagine. I have road tripped through France, I have visited many cities, I have just come back from my trip to London (where I bought this pretty dusky pink dress ... and maybe some other bits as well) and soon I'll be off to Paris! But first, let's have a look at this week's outfit!

Jumping the Bandwagon | NYX Wonder Stick Review

I've been getting a lot of complements on my makeup lately. Especially on my "bone structure". Now, being a beauty blogger, I think it's only fair to finally reveal my little secret: I have finally jumped on the bandwagon and got myself a cream contour. And I have got some thoughts about it. So, let's have a look at the NYX Wonder Stick.

Bralettes | A Sheer Obsession

Bralettes have been appearing more and more outside of the bedroom lately. They are no longer just a way of surprising your partner after a long day. but have become a sneaky way of spicing up a simple everyday outfit.

Big City Life | Brussels

This past week, I have been staying in Bruxelles for a pretty amazing internship. I still have two weeks to go, but how I wish it could be more. I’m not only taking the first steps towards doing the thing that I love. The internship also got me back in a “big city”. A place that breathes culture and movement. A place where I feel at home.

I'm a Proud Ladybug

Meet my ladybug shirt. This is one of the few clothing items that makes me feel good, without having to conform to society’s norms of the beautiful sexy woman. Don’t get me wrong, I like wearing pretty dresses and high heels, but there is something special about wearing a button down shirt, smart shoes and plain black pants and stil being able to rock your strut.

Smudged Lips | MakeupTrend

The many liquid lipsticks that appear on the makeup market may be smudge proof, but that is not where it's at this summer. Lipstick will look lived in or will be barely detectable. Lines blurred, lips patchy, let's have a look at this summer's makeup trend: smudged lips.

May & June Favorites 2016 | VIDEO

It’s monthly favorites time! Since I have been going through finals and therefore I was living like a hermet in my room, I found it hard to get together my favorites. I just hadn’t been doing a whole lot of fun stuff. However, every so often, I did put myself through some retail therapy and I found some gems along the way.

Normcore Uniforms | Identity Crisis Averted

According to some very fancy psychologists, millennials are going through an identity crisis as a result of our quickly changing world without the stereotypical role models. Are normcore, trends and the concept of millennials giving us our sense of belonging back?

The Grown Up Jelly Shoe | Creeper Sandals

A series of exams, my new-found obsession with the Man Repeller and a serious case of retail therapy might have led to some new purchases. Say hi to these new babies: my very first pair of creeper sandals. They are white, loud and understated all at the same time. And yes, creeper sandals are pretty much jelly sandals for grown ups. Nothing wrong with a little 90s fever.

Bold Blue | SS16 Makeup

Is it possible to incorporate runway makeup into your daily life? Well, I have made it my mission! My daily makeup with the blushed cheeks and the simple eye makeup is just not cutting it anymore. I need some color! And there was plenty of color in the Spring Summer ‘16 runway makeup. So, I delved into the photo archive of pretty much every fashion magazine and selected some of my favorite looks. (I might have made a mood board as well. Read: this might turn into a little series!) The first look I decided to go for is a mix of the Fendi graphic liner and the blue eye makeup obsession.

Ruffle Rumble

This tomboy is making her way into girlines with this spring-summer trend: ruffles! I used to avoid ruffles like there was no tomorrow. An expression of disgust would adorn my face every time my mom would try to get me to put on a frilly ruffle-y dress. What can I say? I just have always liked a simpler minimal look. However, now ruffles are back - and I am actually picking out my own clothes - I seem to have found a piece of clothing combining my minimal style and my secret love for some ruffles here and there

Sun Kissed Glow

I have been enjoying minimal makeup lately. I just use a bunch of SPF, some under eye concealing , mascara and I’m good the go! … So you would think. Here are some tips and tricks on how to fake the summer/spring sun kissed glowy look without or before having to spend hours in the burning sun.

APRIL FAVORITES 2016

Another month has passed and that means it’s monthly favorites time! I put together a little collection of my favorite things of this past April. Watch the video below to find out which bits and bobs I have been loving this month!

How To: Side Split Blouse

Ever since this winter, the side split blouse has been appearing in stores left, right and center. Sadly, I haven’t seen them actually being worn too much. This isn’t too much of a surprise since it’s a lot different from last year’s crop tops and not the easiest piece to style. Want to know some ways to pull this fashion trend off? Let’s have a look at some!

New Season, New Eyeshadow stick | Essence Review

It’s a well-known fact that I’m a sucker for a good cream eyeshadow, preferably in stick form. I’m just not a morning person. So I can’t be bothered with putting a lot of time into my makeup on the early mornings. In February, I reviewed the Rimmel Magnifeyes eyeshadow stick, and I still love that one, but I lately I have been loving a more minimal and simple look and the Rimmel one is quite full on. So, I decided to branch out and try the new Essence 2-in-1 eyeshadow & liner sticks. 

The Neckerchief | Throwback Trend

Now we know the choker has made its way back to us from the nineties, but now its close relative has arrived as well. The neckerchief is back in all its glory. From the office to a festival, this accessory is fail-proof. Time to get sailor chic with this one. Ahoy captain.

Brussels | VLOG

I went to Brussels and took my camera with me. Follow me around as I visit my modeling agency and a memorial for the Brussels terror attacks. Enjoy the vlog!

Wandering around Brussels

I had a little wander around Brussels yesterday. Well, let’s be honest I did actually get lost a few times. But then again, that makes you stop and look around. So I wasn’t too annoyed by that. Eventually, I managed to see the people I wanted to see and visited the places I wanted to visit. So it’s all good. 

Makeup Starter Kit

The world of makeup is a wonderful place. Nonetheless, it can be overwhelming when you’re entering it for the first time. I’m here to make the transition a little bit easier and help you get on your way. I will be talking about the essential makeup items. These are the easiest products to get started with and will help you achieve a fresh face throughout the ages to come.

TOMBOY DRESS UP | Dungaree Dress

Being a tomboy by nature, I have never been one for dresses or skirts. The times I did wear one, it was mainly because of silly gender roles and a stupid will to fit in. This dungaree dress however complements my not so girly personality perfectly. It’s a plain black denim dress with a minimalist seventies feel. And I have been all about those seventies lately. Not the in your face floral print kind, but more so a dialed down minimal version. After all, I do have to brave the streets and stares of 2k16.
