In this article you get a glimpse into my personal life. Let me know which picture you like the most.

I absolutely loved a lot of shows during Milan Fashion week. Most Italian fashion houses are a bit extravagant, which is exactly my style. Roccobarocco presented the perfect mix between classic pieces and coulourful pieces. Read my report from that show and others here.

Last Saturday I went to a decadent party which was organised in a wine castle. My Flemish readers might know this castle since it was used to shoot the TV show "Zuidflank". 

Two weeks ago I was one of the few lucky people who got to attend the Blog Class Event. This was organised by Yara from This Chick's got Style. It was a very inspirational day. Read my report here.

At the Blog Class Event everyone received a goodiebag. Among others things my goodiebag included the latest Elle edition and some delicious chocolate. This was very welcome during the long train ride back home.

This is a picture from Yara and me after the Blog Class Event. Thank you again for this amazing day. I really learned a lot.

After the Blog Class Event, it was time for some amusement. Another party night at club Versuz with some Gin.

You might have noticed that I was a bit absent from the blog last week, this was because of carnival. Carnival is an event during which people get dressed up. One day I got dressed up as a soldier.

Keeping up with the Kardashians is one of my favourite shows at the moment. I was looking for a new show, after Gossip Girl ended, which could really take my mind of things. KUWTK does it every time for me. 

Last Thursday my best friend organised a dinner party. The main course was 2 pastas; the left one was spicier; the right one was my favourite with spinach and cheese.

The dessert was a millefieulle from chocolate and ice cream. It's probably pointless to say that this was one of the best desserts I had in my whole life.

The 8th March we celebrated women's day. I think every girl should have friends like the girls from Sex and the City. They have so much fun and can always count on each other.

Last Saturday I had one of my best outfit shoots so far. I chose a spring outfit and my friend knew this great location. These 2 resulted in a great outcome. For more pictures, check my article here.

After the shoot my friend and me took a well-deserved break.

Blogger Class Event by This Chick's got style

Last Saturday I got to be part of a very special event. Some of you probably know Yara from the blog This chick's got style. I have been following her for a while and really like her blog because of its diversity and great writing style.

A couple of months ago Yara started doing blogger classes in which she shares her experiences and gives newbies like myself some handful tips. I have been dying to go to one of these events but up until now always had other appointments. So when I got the e-mail with the confirmation that my subscription for this class got accepted, I was over the moon.

Before the event I was a little bit nervous because I had to travel alone to a huge city like Amsterdam. It was my first time there, shame on me. Luckily I live very close to the Dutch borders so I had an easy train connection. My biggest concern was how to get from the train station to the location of the event. Luckily Yara had launched the hashtag #blogclassevent. By using this hashtag on Twitter I got in contact with Kevin. We met up on the train and traveled together to Amsterdam. Kevin, you're really a lifesaver!

The location for this event was WestergasTerras. This is an old industrial site that has been turned into a park with a very authentic character. The café was very cozy with bricks and iron used in the interior. Yara and her team were super welcoming and nice. We immediately got a delicious smoothie offered to us. I expected to be the only Belgian among the attendants but I was wrong. Birgit, a blogging mother from Antwerp, was one of the amazing people I met at this event.

I'm not going to tell too much about the actual class, I can only advise you to attend one. Yara is a great and natural speaker and a real professional. She gave very good tips, things I would probably never think about myself. This class made me clear why she got where she is today. We could ask her anything and she was very open about everything. I'm really going to try to apply these tips on my blog the upcoming weeks and months.

After the class we stayed and chatted some more while drinking delicious martinis and healthy bites. Yara took the time to talk to everybody personally and of course to take pictures. This is a day I won't likely forget very soon. I had an amazing time and fell in love with Amsterdam although I didn't get to see the city center. A trip to Amsterdam is on my to do list for this year.

PS: Thank you Yara and team for the cute goodie bag!
