Shoplog #29

A decent black nail polish was still missing in my beauty cabinet, but this gap has been filled by my latest shopping trip. The readers, who follow me on Instagram as well, surely know that I have a new, favourite brand. It's a Dutch brand called Nikkie. Recently I bought a skirt and now I ordered this pastel pink dress online. Do you like it?

NL: Een degelijke zwarte nagellak mankeerde nog in mijn beautykastje, maar dit gat is nu gevuld dankzij mijn laatste shoppingstrip. De lezers, die me ook op Instagram volgen, zullen zeker al gemerkt hebben dat ik een nieuw favoriet merk heb. Het is een Nederlands merk genaamd Nikkie, recentelijk kocht ik er een rok van en nu bestelde ik een pastel roze jurk online. Wat vind je van mijn nieuwe stuks?

FASHION: Trend report Spring/Summer 2015

Spring is lurking around the corner and I really feel like stuffing my wardrobe with new items. Instead of just going on a shopping spree I try to be prepared for the battle and keep the new trends in mind. I make a difference between trends that seem to be short lived (not spending a lot of money on these) and trends that are here to stay. In today's blogpost I will share my favourite trends for this spring with you.

NL: Spring loert om de hoek en ik kan niet wachten om weer nieuwe spullen te kopen voor in mijn klerenkast. In plaats van in het wilde weg te gaan shoppen, probeer ik altijd voorbereid te zijn op de nieuwe trends. Daarin maak ik een onderscheid tussen de trends voor één seizoen (hier geef ik niet zoveel geld aan uit) en trends die een aantal jaartjes zullen meegaan. In de blogpost van vandaag deel ik mijn favoriete trends voor deze lente met jullie.

Q: Which is your favourite trend for spring? 

The Seventies

China Town

Back to black

Combat

Denim

Shoplog #7

Lately I have been saving up some money for a decent camera and my holiday to Tuscany next month. My latest shopping trip feels like ages ago. The past couple of weeks I had some really stressful times at work and Thursday I decided it was about time to spoil myself a bit. Every Thursday evening the shops stay open late at Maastricht and sales have already started in The Netherlands. Look below to see what I bought.

NL: De laatste tijd probeer ik wat geld te sparen voor een degelijk fototoestel en mijn vakantie naar Toscane volgende maand. De afgelopen weken waren enorm stresserend op mijn werk en afgelopen donderdag vond ik het dan ook tijd worden om mezelf een beetje in de watten te leggen. Elke donderdag zijn de winkels later open in Maastricht en de solden zijn al begonnen in Nederland. Lees verder om te zien wat ik gekocht heb.

Beauty Trends spring 2014

Yesterday I showed you my favourite fashion trends for spring. But an outfit is nothing without some decent make-up to lift that outfit up. I really want to try to spice up my make up this season. I usually tend to stick to the same kind of products/colours in contradiction to my clothing style. I don't really know why, I guess it's all about changing my ritual. These are some of the trends I really want to try out this season. Let me know which trend is your favourite!

Little miss orange

The real dare devils go for bright orange this season. If this is too much for you, red or a pastel shades of orange are an option as well. If you really want to be on trend, go for a mat lipstick.

John Galliano

Tinted lipglass Morange Mac

DKNY

Dior addict extreme 433 Délice

Glitter & Gold

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that gold is my favourite colour. This trend is already in my usual make up ritual. During the Christmas season from 2012 I found this perfect Dior eye shadow palette. I'm a little bit panicking because it's almost empty. But I guess this  season is the right time to move on because this spring it really is all gold that shines.

Golden pigment Mac

D&G Sicilian Jewels collection gold lipstick, check my review here 

Copper gold nailpolish Mavala

JC De Castelbajac

Black as the night

This trend is not something new. It seems like the smokey eye will never go out of style again. No wonder, there isn't one beauty trend which is more beautiful, chic and sexy if well done.

Pink glow

Last year it was all about grungy nude, this season it's about girly faces with lots of blush. If you're not afraid to show off a bit you can combine this pink blush with a lipstick in the same shade.
