Little ball of fur

Everybody knows that I'm a cat person and Nougat is without doubt my number one favourite! Just look at this grey fluffball, even dog-lovers (including Sabrina) melt when he works his magic on them. Evidently I asked for my earmuffs back today, what's up with that?!  
The cute lion cub on the top left is Antwerp's pride: Nestor! Get it? Pride is also used to describe a social group of lions. I'm so witty with words (a little self-complimenting never hurt anyone). Nestor is a little rascal, more pictures here.

Mug shots

From self-complimenting to selfshots, I'm certainly staying on topic. As you can see on the pictures, my mum bought a new curling iron. If only I had a personal assistant that would do my hair every morning #firstworldgirlthoughts. It baffles me every time how much volume you can create with simple curls. Volume is greatly needed when you have a disappointing amount of hair on your head..

My appearance in the Flair a couple of years ago, perfect #tbt material. So sweet that my grandmother kept the magazine for all these years.

Busy Bee

I'm an original member of the 'Les Boudains' quiz team and I'm proud of it! We've been quizzing for a couple of years now, but since 'Quiz me quick' (a Belgian tv show) the boys have taken it to the next level. With success I may add! 

Last week my mum and I attended a ladies night at Ici Paris XL in Mechelen. Label of the night was Dior; they have some really good products. I also took pictures with a proper camera, so maybe I'll whip up a post next week. 

My trip to Amsterdam with the Rihanna bus, read all about it here.

Behind the scenes of the Bird project. Curious? Be very curious! Creative mind behind this project is the lovely Sabine Peeters. Want to see her at work? From this week on, you can watch the new tv show Shoot! on VIJF, every Wednesday at 22h10.

New, newer, newest 

Everything new in my life. Joico recently renewed its products and added, among others, a dry shampoo. Finally I can start testing, my hair gets greasy way too fast I tell you! My interest was already sparked by Annebeth from the Styling Dutchman, she swears by this stuff ;-). If you ever plan on using a new hairproduct brand, one name: Joico! I've been using these products since I was a baby, they never let me down once. 

Since I was bored with my hair, I also got a new haircut. Nothing too radical, otherwise I would freak out my boyfriend I'm afraid :D.

I also bought some hand embellishments, you can never have too many nailpolishes or rings. 

Garment features

I like my fair share of prints, mostly nature related. You either are a biologist or you are not! My leopard sweater is featured here, and my flower shirt here. 

Me: Spring, why are you so cold?

'Spring': So that you can stay inside and snuggle eachother.

Me: But Spring, why do you bring snowflakes?

'Spring': So that you have a nice sight when you look out of the window.

Me: But why were you so warm and gentle last week?

Winter: BECAUSE I WANTED TO TORTURE YOU AND LET YOU THINK I WAS SPRING!! DIE NATURE DIE!!

It wasn't spring...

These sneaker flatforms with black scales still are my current favourite pair of shoes. Want some examples of how to style them - which isn't that hard by the way - have a look here, here and here.

Instagram Feed #3

I'm back, after almost a week radio silence (i.e. no internet). Ah la douce France! Planning on visiting Bourgogne yourself? Château de la Grange is the place to stay, for realsies. The charming lady behind this picturesque homestead is no less than Sabrina's mom. Pampering guaranteed ;-)! More information, pictures and recommendations here. 

Back to my small selection of ample January pictures. What else was there to do, besides studying? Instagram is so relaxing.

Instagram Feed #2

Today we've been blogging for three months now and I must say that I'm really getting into it. I'm glad we took the leap, I've wanted to start a blog for quite a while. Since we're only newbies, it would be really lame to give you a 2012 recap, but I can offer you my December in pictures if you like? 

Instagram is also becoming a daily activity. Some people start their day with reading the newspaper, I look at pictures on instagram ;-).

I made a presentation about felid coat patterns, I do not only wear clothing with cat prints I also study their function ;-) ◆ Ready for a Disco party, before the glitter spray shower that is ◆ Best buy of the year: vintage black Céline ◆ My study buddy, what would I do without you?

My boyfriend with his superfly new shoes ◆ It's the season: hot chocolate with amaretto ◆ A signed poster of my favourite comedian ◆ My cutie Nougat in a Christmas setting

My first DIY haha :-D ◆ These holidays I went BANG with my new favourite sweater ◆ We're not the only ones confused by this weather ◆ Nina, Wendelien, Ruth and I wishing you a Happy 2013!

Have you already heard about zotopkleding.be? A site full of the latest fashion news and trends. If you are interested you can also show readers your personal style in the 'Your Style' section, so that's what I did! Wanna see?

Drumroll please......
I present to you my first monthly instagram feed! A few snapshots of November.

A new hair colour, haircut and awesome sweater ❖ One of my favourite desserts: Moeilleux au chocolat (I'll even order it before my main course just to be sure) ❖ 'Into the Wild', not the movie (thank god), but very darkgreen nailpolish ❖ My mum and I before a lovely evening out

New addition to my room, I really like the combination of purple & silver ◆ Details of an outfit ◆ Piet Konijn has some attitude ◆ Delicious dish with fish and cauliflower mash, find the recipe here

 

Our first giveaway, in collaboration with Simple comme Bonjour ◆ Another new 'Sparkling' nailpolish ◆ A vintage Coca-Cola Christmas card ◆ My two most favourite boys in the whole world snoozing the day away

When I was little I would always wait until this commercial was on. It still puts me in a very good mood whenever I hear 'Holidays are coming!'. No holidays without the Coca-Cola trucks and of course Love Actually, deuh.

I really can't sit still when I hear this song!

Gala Glamour

I look marvelous, right? I never knew my hair could look so voluminous! Inspired by vintage goddess Kerry, I asked my mum to transform my hair into a genuine beehive for a gala. Instant glamour! You like the result?

(Also a big preview of my next outfitpost)

 Sorry ozone layer for all the hairspray..

With the Birthday Girl

It's funny to see all the different picture qualities, or actually it's not.. I really need to get myself a proper camera! My loyal little camera hasn't been the same since the sandy plains in Tanzania. Sometimes I can even make better pictures with my iPhone, just saying. I also have one semi-decent picture of my awesome platform sandals. I was so happy that I finally had an occasion to wear them and then one of my heels came loose in the middle of the night.. Luckily I also brought a pair of snake print sandals.

I even liked my hair the day after, what I wouldn't give to have more and thicker hair! 

After this picture overload, I'll leave you with Kerry's hair tutorial video:

Wearing: earrings - Urban Outfitters; Dress - Nümph (via Lily); platform sandals - Nelly.

Cheers
