The dead will walk

Happy Halloween everybody! What are you up to tonight? Anyone celebrating here?

I'm staying at home. I had my fair share of Halloween fun this weekend. This Friday I'll be going to the show of the famous Glam Rockers (read mockers) Steel Panther, so I'll have another chance to dress up.

In some trashier costume version.

As I told you, we took a walk at the cemetery in the evening. I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out to be. I could do stuff like this every week. Dressing up, yes! 

I was something between a vampire or a zombie Lana Del Rey. Whom, I found out today, will be playing in Belgium next year. Hoping I'll be able to go!

Here they're! Must be one of my favorite pictures on the blog so far!

Wearing: H&M dress, shoes and earrings, DIY cape and flower crown, Mongolian fur stola.

Thanks again to Annebeth for organizing and inviting me to this great party!

Strasbourg - A day to relax

As you are reading this, I'm already on my next trip to Barcelona. I've never visited Spain, so I'm very excited! Promising to return with many pictures.

In the meantime the last post about my trip to Strasbourg. On the last day of our stay we decided to relax a bit and just chill at a little park before one of the universities of Strasbourg. We had the whole place almost to ourselves. The university was closed for summer. I can imagine it otherwise being very crowded, as Strasbourg holds about 40000 students.

So we just lay on the grass, read our books and took some pictures.

Wearing: Asos dress, old sandals, Ray-Ban Laramie sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, Topshop earrings.

Could definitely picture myself living in that neighborhood.

Our reads. I finally read The Portrait of Dorian Gray and loved it. The lover is obsessing with Game of Thrones, such a devoted reader <3 p="p">

This is the end of my posts about Strasbourg. I had a really lovely and romantic trip. Hope you enjoyed my posts! Barcelona report coming up next.

Tomato to go

The titel says it all. My favorite vegetable, a tomato, was my inspiration for this outfit. It doesn't have to be serious all the time, right?! If I do color, I do it all the way.
Another fact, my outfits are more sporty than ever. Blame it on the sneakers.

Wearing: Thrifted blouse, H&M shorts, Ebay sneakers and claw bracelet, Swatch watch, Ray-Ban Laramie sunglasses.

Tomorrow me and my boyfriend are leaving for Strasbourgh. I'm very excited to finally go on holiday. The weather forecast is promising. Because we're going by car I don't need to worry about packing so much. I packed more clothes than I'd probably need to, but I like to have my options. And when on holiday I usually change several times a day anyway.
I'm also preparing a few posts, to entertain you when I'm away. We're taking our laptop with us, so I hope we'll find an internet connection. If not, I'll be kicking it cold turkey style.

So long, dear readers! I promise to take zillion of pictures!

Summertime Sadness

What do you do when you're bored? I usually read, draw or DIY stuff.

Today I finally got around to make a flower crown. Because, obviously, every girl deserves a crown.

After I was done I felt inspired or just still was bored and decided to take pictures with it. I used Lana Del Rey as inspiration. I don't think we've got the same look or vibe, but a little tribute wouldn't hurt anyone. I really admire her style and looks. Even though, not natural, she looks beautiful. I'm not an anti-surgery freak, so whatever floats her gorgeous boat. A real fan of her music too, probably listened to her record for 100 times already. Need to get my hands on that vinyl! Hope to get to see her live soon!

Here we go!

I'm content with how the pictures and my crown turned out. Need to get more flowers soon!

Candy Cane

Well, let me start this post by screaming out: 'I'M FINALLY FREEEEE!!!' 

Excuse me my enthusiasm, but after weeks of being held hostage behind my laptop, I'm finally finished with my thesis. It's already printed and I only have to drop it off at my college tomorrow. 16000 words later I feel both happy and relieved and kinda proud too. Though I was never one to pay a lot of attention to my grades. I guess I was lucky I always had good grades without doing a lot of effort for it. Though education is important, remember that kids! In the end the amount of diploma's won't make you better or smarter at living your life or the choices you make. Being smart in life and in studies doesn't always go together, but that depends on the person, I guess.

Well, enough rambling about smartness. My thesis is slayed and that calls for a celebration!

I did that by finally relaxing in the sun, with a minor sunburn as a result. But I finally have some color now. Though I enjoy being pale in the winter, I hate to be nor pale or tanned in the summer. You know when your shoulders get a color, but the rest of the body still looks white? Well, I try to avoid that. I overdid it a bit, by lying around in the sun for hours, while reading. I looked like a lobster for the first 24 hours, but now only my shoulders and neck area are still sore. I didn't expect to get burned, that never happened before in Belgium, but I guess I didn't try as hard before as I did now. Well, a lesson learned!

Still I couldn't be happier with the current weather, sun always makes me happy. So does my new dress with candy cane stripes. It's perfect for the summer. Such an effortless 50's look takes me to the setting of an American diner or a drive in cinema. Oh, how I wish I could time travel!

The dress is made by a Belgian designer called Caroline Mampay. The range of dresses goes from children sizes to grown up's. The shoes are from my beloved Belgian lingerie brand La Fille d'O. I bought both items at the Contemporary Fashion Days or the designer stock sales, last month.

Wearing: C'est Quoi la Vie? dress, La Fille d'O shoes,Vivienne Westwood brooch, Laramie Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Meanwhile in the 'backstage' our dog tries to get attention.

Mr. Galliano, I miss you!

Just a little reminder of how big of a fashion hero John Galliano really is.

Eternal love to him for changing fashion. Dior would not be what it is at this point
if it wasn't for him. It's sad to see how ungrateful people can be sometimes.

I miss him and his brilliant vision. Hope he'll be back some day.

Enjoy this red parade.
