I bought myself an Elle UK last week, which is a huge treat because it is super-expensive here in Belgium (well yeah, I find €8 a lot for a magazine). But I read a very disturbing article in it about how you should regularly replace your make-up, because otherwhise it gets filled with bacteria! I daresay it kinda freaked me out. And so, I went straight to the store to get myself some new brushes, foundation, compact powder, blush, red lipstick and a make-up bag (I had just recently purchased mascara so I felt no need to replace that too). Oh, and while I was there anyway, I also grabbed myself a new gold, shimmery nailpolish!

The brushes are from Hema, the foundation is Nivea, the make-upbag from H&M and the rest is all from Catrice, which I think is a great brand if you don't want to spend much money on make-up - I prefer to save my money for expensive clothes ;)

How about you? Are you a cheap girl like me when it comes to make-up or a big spender?

Looklove: Karmen Pedaru

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I thought I'd share this casual, basic look of Karmen Pedaru with you that I found at Stockholm Streetstyle, AND how to get it! The jacket that she is wearing is from Isabel Marant. But since it seems to be out of stock in all the online shops I know, I found a similar and much cheaper jacket at Topshop!

1. Black maxi dress by Vince at Theoutnet €98,30
2. Boucle jacket at Topshop £45
3. Leather shoulder bag by Diane van Furstenberg at Net-a-porter €530
4. Leather toe post sandels at Asos €15,38

You like this look?

Colour me pretty: Gorgeous green

Ever since I saw this picture of Anne-Catherine at Vanessa Jackman's blog, I've been smitten with the colour of this lovely ladies pants. I also love the cute jazzy brogues she paired them with, and her haircut, and the blazer, and - The whole outfit just has that perfect je-ne-sais-quoi... You can see more of her style on her own blog.

Oh btw, does anyone know the correct name for this colour?

New kid in town: Tribal skirt

Hi lovelies!

Yesterday I hopped in H&M with my boyfriend to buy him some new basic T-shirts, but when I saw this tribal-print mini, I just couldn't resist! But, I pledged that this would be the last item I bought there for at least two months. For making this this post made me realise that I shop at H&M WAY to often! And I instead I would much more like to shop less and save up for some more expensive purchases at COS, Massimo Dutti, J.crew,... So that 'll be my new quest ;)

Looklove: Flapper dress

Late Afternoon

It's been a while since my last post. The reason for this is, I was at Pukkelpop festival, where a terrible storm took place on Thursday. Several stages/tents were ruined and five people died. Luckily my friends and I were all okay...But I can tell it took me a few days to get it out of my system!

So now it is and I am ready for fashion again ;) starting off with an outfit of one of my favourite bloggers over at Late Afternoon. I love the dress she's wearing. It's from the Asos Salon collection. I admit I have been wanting to buy it for a long time, but unfortunately it was a bit over budget... Still hurts a bit to see it again though!
