April resolutions

New year's resolutions didn't turn out to be a great succes. So I'm giving myself a second chance with 'april's resolutions. Why not. I have even put a little mood board together... See how I am already putting loads of effort into my new healthy lifestyle? Starting april 1st.

But that's not until next week. First I am going to enjoy a last week with easter eggs (chocolate ones, that is), some wine (loads of wine) and cheese (my favorite indulgence)...

Make-up inspiration

Usually my make-up routine consists of applying foundation, bronzer, a dash of blush , some mascara and a lipstick. 1 minute (ok 5) and I’m good to go.

Despite the many many products in my make up box I only use about five frequently. So every once in a while I start experimenting with the other 100 products in there. Every once in a while turned out to be last Sunday… Must say I looked pretty damn good when I went to take out Chinese food in my jogging (but with full make-up).

Currently I'm having a crush on Ck One's lipsticks. Even after the chinese food, it was still on, that's a reference.

Behold, my inspiration below.





Ck One Lipsticks. 710 Sin City, 410 wanted & 100 whatever.
Available at Douglas, Amsterdam (not in Belgium yet, but what a good excuses for a trip to Amsterdam...)

H&M's Conscious Exclusive Collection

I have to admit, I’m not very environment conscious. I recycle and all but honestly, if I use my bike it’s for the totally selfish reason that I hate traffic. And if I sell my clothes on the flea market it’s really just to buy new ones with the profit.
But… I feel a conscious vibe coming up. H&M has just revealed pictures of its conscious exclusive collection. They got me at exclusive and the conscious is a welcome extra.

You’ll be finding me in H&M april 4th (that’s when this collection is available in stores).

diy?

I look at this picture and I think to myself, ‘how difficult can it be to build that?’ Looks fairly easy, right?
Then I realize… very difficult. Tons of things could go wrong. At least if I get started with it.

So, If I find someone who can make this for me , is that still diy?

Gold rush


I’m having a crush on all things gold lately. It’s gotten bad. That bad that I haven even painted an entire room in our house in gold. (Looks awesome though). And painted a white lamp in gold (also looks awesome). And painted a bunch of frames...in gold (awesome!)

Left overs of golden paint are clearly dangereous around me, I’ll paint just about anything gold right now. And buy anything gold, like my golden napkins, golden pillows and golden tea holders. So unfortunate there’s no golden food. Or would eatable golden paint exist?

Sometimes, If I’m really into something I can go in overdrive, can you tell?

Excellent DIY idea

Easy does it

Rendez-vous Clio Goldbrenner

A bag can make or break your outfit. That’s rather basic knowledge, the kind they teach in fashion 1.0. Now, the key is finding that one bag that can uplift an ordinary jeans and t-shirt to fashion-worthy levels. Here, we’re entering a somewhat more advanced level. But not to worry, just go for a Clio Goldbrenner bag. Life can be simple.

Coincidence has it I met up with the lovely Clio a while ago and I (obviously) grabbed the chance to ask her some questions.

So now, if you show a Clio Goldbrenner bag, you now just a tiny bit more about the creator. Splendid!

Clio, what do you always carry in your bag ?

In my bag, I always carry my macbook, my makeup pouch and my perfume.

Which celebrity would you love to see carrying a Clio Goldbrenner?

Keira Knightley, I think she’s great !

What's on your personnal wishlist this summer?

An Acne jeans, boyfriend style but the feminine kind, silk blouses, a knitted pull in pastel shades by Athe Vanessa Bruno and a pair of APC boots. (I could live with that wish list as well!)

What trend for spring summer 2013 is your favorite?

I’m loving the ‘metalic materials’ trend this season. I’m wearing the new Clio M04 in silver a lot right now. It’s great in combination with an elegant and simple silhouette. Effortles chic!

What's your favorite piece of clothing (or accessories) of all times?

Jeans,I have an entire collection ! It’s a piece in which I feel both casual and chic.

Result of this little interview, the M04 is on my wishlist as well.
Tempted as well?

Refreshing

A flamingo in the bathroom, well isn't that refreshing. Or just weird? Can't decide...

Field of Flowers

It’s that time of the year again, where:


- I feel just as tired when I wake up as when I went to bed (and that’s really tired)

- Everything looks grey

- It’s still cold but I’m really bored with my winter wardrobe

- Spring seems like a dream that will never really come true

So, I needed something to uplift my spirit, something to insert a dash of spring into these grey surroundings. Flowers were an option, but after 1 week they look just as sad as the weather, so… not really an option. But I found something better: a FIELD of flowers. Ha, Beat that. Philosophy’s body lotion field of flowers is a deliciously scented indulgence with the magic power to instantly put a smile on my face. Acute depression avoided.
