Bye Bye, for now.

Summer essentials.

My sincere apologies for being offline for a while. Blogging came to a zero level the past 3 weeks because of some projects, busy at my job due to our various events and the festival season that is not far away anymore... Another big change in my life will be (hopefully) in a couple of months: leaving the nest and looking for something for ♫ just the 2 of us ♫. 

Time for something else now...

Browsing web shops for summer essentials, that's right. I must admit I've got my periods of impulsive shopping and this period is seriously not impulsive. It's not that strange because I've noticed every year when summer is around the corner I don't buy a lot of clothes. I guess it's so much easier for me to buy sweaters and other winter essentials?! That doesn't mean I don't like summer stuff, on the contrary! All those vibrant colors and tropical patterns, waaaauwwie! Check my mood board below. I picked several, different items per theme, things that caught my eye immediately!

Oh, before I forget. Because of the moving part it will be necessary to sell a lot of my stuff because I could probably rent a van for my room alone... But that means lots of new/almost never worn clothes, shoes and accessories! More info soon!

LFW: street style favorites

What I love about fashion is that I can follow up different looks through fashion magazines and street styles. That doesn't mean every trend or look is inspiring for me, on the contrary, some are just hideous. Anywhooo, September is a special month because of the inspiration that different street styles have to offer during the Fashion Weeks. I gazed endlessly and I think if I would attend every one of those Fashion Weeks that I would be a little paparazzi and capture about a gazillion pictures. Here are some of my favorite styles that catched my eye immediately from LFW. Unfortunately I can't call myself the photographer of these pictures below.

The seaside.

White x silver.

This outfit includes two new items: my white blouse from Urban Outfitters (here) and the silver shoes from Zara (here). Both very comfortable and wearable. Some of you know I'm a sucker for black because it always shows some elegance in your outfit, it hides the bad parts and maybe unconsciously because my hair has the same color?! The detailing in the white blouse convinced me immediately, especially the little black linings on the wrist and the little black buttons are adorable. When it comes to shoes I do like thinking outside of the box. When they're shiny, full of glitter or when they have a striking color it's jackpot for me and this pair of brogues meets my criteria no doubt.

It's weird to go for an outfit without any statement jewelry or delicate rings that's why I've chosen this mint green nail polish because it does somewhat get noticed. To come back to those delicate rings: I've been gazing for a little while on some lovely silver rings from Wouters & Hendrix, yes I'm making room for some silver jewelry as well!

Festival of Colours: Holi Festival!

Festival? Check!

Amazing music? Check! 

Lots of colour? Double check!

Everywhere happy people? Triple check! 

This pretty sums up how I experienced my Saturday. Two party animals (Eva and Margaux) joined me to experience a first ever organized festival in Belgium: Holi Festival. 

This feast of colours is one of the most important celebrations amongst the Hindu communities. It is their way to celebrate the transition from winter to spring but also the victory of the good over the evil. The gulal (colour powder) is used during this celebration which makes it one big colourful day. Social boundaries are vanished for one day which results in one equality. It's a pity though that only such a celebration makes people forget about the differences amongst each other.

To come back to the Holi Festival. It was a day full of striking colours and everyone was happy. Throwing the colour powder at each other created also a day without boundaries. Everyone around me was having fun, talking to and dancing with each other.

There were a lot of positive and negative reactions before the festival even took place because of the fact the ticket sale and lineup was announced pretty late. My opinion: I wanted to attend the festival anyway because of the colour concept. My opinion during and after the festival? Seriously, the lineup included a lot of unknown names (for me) but it was GREAT, the whole lineup was awesome. There were some problems though with the music in the very beginning but that was solved quickly. Everyone was having fun with the powder, laying in the sun, chillin' and sippin' beer anyways so it really didn't bother me at all.

Holi festival, you'll see me back next year!

ps: there's a similar festival coming up in Brussels in a couple of weeks for those who are interested.

I scream neon.

A little get-away to the countryside in la Bourgogne with family and friends, lots of food and hot hot hot weather. Check. It was short but damn good. Even though I had a couple of days of rest I'm still tired. I hear insomnia calling for a while now. 

Living comme un dieu en France goes perfectly well with a laidback outfit. I'm very picky when it comes to shorts because I'm the owner of some big thighs but this H&M high waisted ripped shorts are a-maaaazing. The neon t-shirt feels 100% casual and I've been wearing it A LOT this summer. Neon is not always an easy color to use in a wardrobe if you ask me but I do think jeans goes with everything. Besides that: everyone can see Sabrina coming from far with this screaming color ;-)! My hair got a little pampering by the way: say hello to my donut bun! It has been on my inspiration moodboard on pinterest for a while and a couple of posts ago I've mentioned it as well but I finally tried it out. It's easy to do but in my case it isn't a 1-2-3-job, it took me a 'while' to get it all right. I blame it on my clumsiness and thick thick hair. I've got some more donut bun-galore in my next post because yes I'm totally into it right now!

See ya!

Rock the boat.

Somehow the outfit made me think about a girls-only school and uniforms. This can sound weird but I always wanted to go to a school where uniforms were required. It seemed so chic.. Now I can't imagine wearing the same thing everyday, that would be just so damn dull.

I've been challenging myself in terms of colors such as the white blouse and the silver shoes I bought recently. Another item was this red COS jumper, it caught my eye immediately. Maybe because of its unquestionable brightness, to be fairly honest normally most red items seem old and unattractive if you ask me. This one has without a doubt a magical glint. It's finely ribbed and has a relaxed fit so you can wear it with a skinny jeans or a dress/skirt. I opted for the latter. The denim dress has been hanging in my closet for such a long time because of its exaggerated cleavage that made me extremely uncomfortable. This jumper gives me the opportunity to wear it again. Happy girl here. 

Last but not least, I bought a new nail polish to add to the collection: Rock the Boat by Essie. The name is really awesome. It's light blue with a subtle shimmer which is a good addition to the denim. 

Tonight I'm off to France again, a little de-stress time but I'll be back on Monday. I'll be making pictures over there, yeaah.

Au revoir!

Oh my silver goodness!

Wauwsieee hide my wallet. Last time I showed you my pink galaxy cravings well now I've got some silver goodness for you. I'm on a rooooooll or I just have a big interest in fashion ;-)!

I've put another outfit together but this time there are some items that I've already purchased, such as the black Vero Moda pants and the white blouse from Urban Outfitters. Yesterday was a day of 'celebration' because 1. my dissertation came to an end (YAY!) and 2. my parents 29th anniversary. Because of the first reason I really wanted to get out of the house after so long and I decided to browse some shops in Antwerp, hence the white blouse for example ;-). To be quite honest, white isn't really my favorite color but this item seemed well enough for me. It has a little see-through effect which makes it romantic and sexy but still sophisticated enough, I liiike.

The silver Zara shoes are truly adorable and have the same sophisticated edge I'm going for with this outfit. Shoe-addict is one of my middle names so it's my duty to buy them (yes, duty!). As I'm always aiming for gold accessories it's good to have some silver items as well, don't you think?!

I can totally imagine myself wearing this outfit with a donut bun! It's something I wanted to try for ages and even more from the moment I saw one of my best friends doing it. It's absolutely pretty and so easy apparently: perfection!

What do you think of the outfit: too much or good enough :-)?! Honest opinions are the best!

Bye for now!

Pink galaxy cravings

Dress your life is still based on 2 girls, only 1 is blogging less than the other. I plead guilty. But that's all going to change véry soon since my thesis deadline is approaching (22nd), FINALLY. Besides that I finally have people around me that can take pictures. LOVE IT ALL.
