Another ReTurn


Almost a month has passed since my last outfit post. Time both flies and drags by painfully slow.
So well, here I am again. Just ending the last days of my internship over here. May will be marked as a writing month, my thesis is due on May 29, D-day. The reason for the lack of posts has been the usual: 'no time + bad weather' combo. Spring has been fooling with us once again and I'm really one of those people who get really moody when all you see is rain. So I've been hit by another wave of melancholia the last few weeks.
Luckily it didn't rain today during my lunch brake and I've had a chance to take some pictures.
I really wanted to show off my new coat. The sweet girls of Black Balloon let us choose a piece from their collection yesterday. Although they have a lot of nice pieces I had to choose by far the most exquisite piece, the Sweetie Silk Coat. It's minimal, but still shiny and oh, so perfect! Sweet, sweet, sweet! 
I also bought their trade mark 'Urban African Queen' earrings and a necklace (will snap that one soonish).
Actually working there was quite dangerous, now my wishlist is even longer than it was before.





Wearing: Black Balloon coat and earrings, H&M dress, Zara bag & gloves.




Right now three free days await me. The longest weekend since January. I'm looking forward to it, I need my rest. Tomorrow I'll be (FINALLY) cutting and dyeing my hair. It's been about seven months since I last dyed my hair, must be my record so far. Lately I've been using my actual hair color just to cover my grey hair. Planning on doing something crazy again, though, a bit bored with mu current hairdo.
Monday and Tuesday me and the boyfriend are gonna work on cleaning our new house and just spend some quality time together. I can't wait until we're going to start decorating, too exiting! 
Hope all of you have a nice weekend out there, thanks for stopping by, bye! x

Recently my blog turned 3 years old. Kind of hard to believe that my fashion baby already can walk and talk.
The time flew by, the baby has grown, but one thing stays the same: I still enjoy blogging as much as I did when I started it. As every parenting process, also this one has it's up's and downs, but we're here to learn.
To celebrate this little event, I'm organising a series of giveaways to thank my readers for sticking with me!

So, not much to say here as my last post has been just yesterday. I never could be that type of blogger that would post everyday. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the freaking time, really!
Anyhow, I have some nice posts lined up for next weeks. Can I tell you a little secret? There'll soon be two give aways , which I'm totally excited about! So stay tuned!

In the meantime I'm showing you my outfit that I wore to the Big You event last week. It was one of those first spring days. It was still chilly, but already sunny outside and that familiar spring feeling already kicked in. Everything suddenly looks brighter and better, I just love it. Leaving those dark winter days behind us.



This embroidered waistcoat has been hanging in my closet for years. I'm not even sure if I wore it already. It was just a piece that I had to buy, but, obviously, is not for daily use. I'm glad I bumped into it. The same with the blouse, I love it's pleats and that Klein blue. Apparently both pieces are the perfect match!




Wearing: Zara blouse and waistcoat, H&M jeans, Sacha boots, Black Balloon earrings, Michael Kors watch.





Lot's of cudos to Gilles for taking my pics, I think he did a wonderful job!
