Scotland the Brave.

I'll take the high road and you'll take the low road,

and I'll be in Scotland before you.

For me and my true love will never meet again

on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

In total I've spent about 11 weeks in Scotland the past year and I must say that it really left an impression on me. The best way to describe my experiences: rich culture, heartwarming people, and delightful panoramas. Since I was there to work on my thesis, outfit pictures weren't a priority, and my limited clothing options didn't help either (20kg, seriously?). But then one weekend my mum and a friend came to visit, losgeheeen! We shopped till we dropped and visited the Scottish Highlands and Glenturret whisky brewery. They can talk about the vanilla, fudge, soft.. flavours all they want, I'm never going to like that intoxicating stuff.

New in | Jimmy Choo

Give me something blue and someting glitter like and you'll make me a happy girl and this time it was both. SCORE! I normally don't bring posts about what's new in my closet but Naomi said "just do it guuuurrlll" and I thought, okay why not, for everything there's a first time.

Breaks during exams are mainly eating, sleeping and some online shopping ofcourse and June was no different from that. From the moment I saw these pretty Jimmy Choo's it was love at first sight. Hesitation was out of the question and I purchased them immediately. There were no regrets since that moment and with the beautiful sun and temperatures in our petit Belgique right now, these pretty ones are sparkling all the way. To be 100 % honest, I've never had shoes - besides all stars - that felt so comfortable. I'll soon make an outfit post! What do you think: yay or nay?!

Have a lovely day!

Casual it is.

I've been postponing my school work for already 2 days. Yeah, I'm good at doing that but I've decided to be laid back until saturday/sunday. The next couple of days are filled boyfriend-time, bbq with friends and other fun, lazy stuff. That means in terms of clothing being as casual as you can. No worries, there are no joggings included but rather easy stuff to wear and no soar feet because those shoes are just so pretty but hurt as hell. 

Couple of weeks ago in France I went completely laid back when we stayed home: during the day shorts and a top and during the evening some jeans. From the moment we went out for dinner or something else I couldn't go without my dresses though ;-). Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of those outfits, stupid me!

That was all for today ;-)!

Comme un Dieu en France

Wearing: Dress - Macys / Cardigan - Newlook / Sandals - River Island / Sunglasses - Zalando (c/o Oona) / Watch - Michael Kors / Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs

 

Oh yes, I'm still alive ;-). After my finals I decided to be impulsive and make a trip to La Douce France with one of my best friends. In dire need of a break and it was wonderful. 

We have a getaway in the Burgundy region and it's only a 6 hour drive. If you're in need of a (long) weekend or a week with lots of delicious wines, winetasting, food and feeling comme un Dieu en France, this is the place to be ;-). It's our Chateau de la Grange which you can rent whenever you want and the price depends on the number of people and the length of your stay. Each stay will be arranged personally with my mom so that your stay will be your ultimate desired holiday.

Our trip was really fantastic with temperatures around 32° and combining markets, shopping, going out and lying in the sun. IT.WAS.HEAVEN.

I'm looking up several holiday destinations for September. If you have any recommendations, do tell :-)! My results were awesome and from tuesday my focus will be dissertation, dissertation, dissertation that has to be handed in by August 22. So after that I will be in dire need of another perfect sunny holiday! 

Until next time ;-)!

Reunited and it feels so good.

I'm back home! I spent the past couple of weeks in lovely Scotland for my never-ending thesis. How I missed everyone at home, my furry cuties in particular! If you haven't noticed yet: I'm a cat lady to the bone. Now tell me, how can you not fall in love with these furballs? 

The outfit is laid-back as can be, I just wanted to wear my new wicked soft sweater & striped top. In Scotland there were already sales on every corner, aah how it makes shopping more fun, especially when you can share them with your visiting mum. The Gap really surprised me, I didn't think too much of the shop in NY, but this time I scored some good basics and a dashing printed shirt. The heart ring is one of my current favourites; subtle & elegant. I feel like a classy lady when I'm wearing it. Intriguing how such small details can make the difference. 

Now I'm off to eat some pickles crisps. Don't judge me.

Cheers
