So, here's an outfit post, that's been a while, right?! :)

It was my bf's birthday yesterday and we celebrated by going to the movies with some friends to see Toy Story 3 ( one of the best cartoons of all time! )

I wore a head to toe Zara outfit. I never thought I would wear or could pull off such pants, but I'm happy I bought them. They have a classic feel without being boring.

Last week I bought one of the most desirable accessories for me. Remember the LV's Mechanical Pearls collection? Well, I was dying to get the hair pin, but it was too expensive for something small. I almost cried out of happiness when I saw a beautiful replica at H&M. I can't even describe how happy I was. It must be pretty silly, but still. Small moments like these make a girl happy.

Wearing: Zara pants, top & shoes, H&M hair pin & clutch.

The weather has been so great the past few days, I took a few breakes to enjoy the sun in the company of my bf or the girls. Unfortunately I'm now stuck inside until tuesday.

But they've been promising bad weather, so I'm not going to be tempted or distracted :)

Well, at least not by the sun!

I just worn this dress from the H&M Garden collection for the first time and I must tell you I'm absolutely in love with the popping colors. Despite quiet a volume the dress is very light, it's also short. So perfect for a hot day.

I went a bit color crazy by adding a neon belt & flats. I must confess that I've really have been bitten by the neon bug ^^

And yes, I'm the one who stays pretty pale the whole year.

Wearing : Dress H&M The Garden Collection, H&M flats, C&A sunnies, vintage nude clutch

I wish all of you great weather wherever you may be :)

Black is the new black

I'm kind of back (=

Sorry for my absence, but I have been busy and extremely sick the last few weeks.

I guess the school pressure got to me, I was exhausted. Happy to feel better now.

Last week I received my wedges that I bought on ebay, finally found what I searched for so long.

I wore them thursday for the first time and they're extremely comfortable!

They're a perfect addition to the black part of my wardrobe. I love wedges, there's something futuristic about them.

Wearing: Barbara Bui top, H&M skirt & leggings, Zara blazer, Ebay wedges

This studded Barbara Bui top if one of my favorite pieces. It's made from exquisite wool and cut in asymmetric lines. I have the same one in grey. They're just perfect basic pieces, I wear them a lot.

Yesterday I was on the hunt for a yellow leopard dress at H&M. At first I saw it on the website,

thursday I saw it hanging in the stores window, but all the stores were closed that day.

Both of the H&M's in Ghent had them hanging in the windows, but they were already sold out.

Belgian people have never been crazy about yellow/pink leopard print, but I guess the low price of 19,95 euro's made the people think different. Both dresses in the windows were reserved too.

I never experienced something like this in H&M... It left me frustrated, so i decided to go to Antwerp today. Same story there, dresses are sold out and every store has them in their window display. I didn't asked if these were taken too, but just bought the grey/black version with zebra stripes. Which is pretty nice too :)

I even like it more, it looks more elegant. Which one do you prefer?

Wish I found the earrings the model is wearing too!

School has just started again and things have been a bit hectic around here, so I've been missing out on the blogging field... But back now.

This sunday I visited the biggest European floral exhibition, called the Floraliën.

It took place in Ghent.

The venue of the exhibition was huge, I've never seen so much beautiful flowers in my life.

The ideas some designers came up with were incredible. This was one big inspirational trip for me.

It really stunned me how creative designers were with all sorts of plants, flowers, trees, ...

I really got an Alice In Wonderland feel there.

Off course this was the perfect occasion to debut the famous H&M rose jacket from the Garden Collection. This was definitely one of best buys I ever made!

Wearing: H&M The Garden Collection jacket, H&M skirt, Dita Von Teese for H&M Against AIDS shirt, Vintage clutch, Vivienne Westwood heart orb brooch, YSL seamed stockings, Asos flats.

Here are some pictures of the pieces I especially liked:

The Brussels Atomium rebuild in flowers.

This ball of flowers was huge, and so impressive. Didn't even look real.

Must have been a lot of work to put together something impeccably symmetric.

This sort of Bamboo is able to grow 30 cm a day. The exhibition runs one week...

This tree in a box was the most surreal thing of the venue. It looked like a tree in a mist, which reminded me a lot of Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow".

I bet Veronique Branquinho, knowing her obsession with trees, would have liked it too.

This orchid chess game was Alice in Wonderland meats Breaking Dawn cover (Twilight series).

Such white orchid "bridge" would be perfect for a wedding.

Garden Of Delight

Today I went to Antwerp to pick up some pieces from

the H&M Garden Collection.

From the moment I saw the collection, I fell in love with the colors and the floral prints.

The whole winter I longed for bright colors and floral dresses and finally they're here.

It was really hard to choose. So far I bought 3 pieces from the collection.

This jacket is so delicate and beautiful. Definitely one of the most beautiful pieces that I own.

I'll probably will buy these pieces later.

This is a real breakthrough for me, to buy so many colors in one day.

Can't wait to wear all this wonderful items.

Stay tuned for a new outfit post...

Matthew Williamson for H&M

So I was "accidentally" in the neighbourhood of one of the shops that sold the collection and couldn't resist to buy something. I got there before the shop got open, there were not that many people waiting in line and the actual grabbing was also less intense. The H&M that I went to sold just a small part of the collection. I didn't want to go to a bigger one, 'cause I don't really have the money to buy a more expensive piece. I really fell in love with that sequin dress, but it was out of my budget. I hate how they sell all of this guest designer collections at the end of the month, that's when I'm already out of money to buy something, or I just spend the last money on something small... ok, I'll stop nagging now.

The majority of the collection wasn't really my thing...

I bought the blouse and the studded belt (my guilt already sent me to hell & back). 

The paper bagmade me even more happy (it's pink on the inside). I really have a thing for nice bags :)

It's funny, just when I was riding back home I read an article about how shopaholics are happier than misers. Misers just feel like they miss out on life. Even tough shopaholics are hunted by feeling of guilt, it's nothing compared to the rush of happiness they feel when buying something... 

I just needed this excuse :p

I'll try to wear it soon, so I have some better pics to show.
