EN// Finally a new outfit online! I've had a little trouble having a photographer present on the days I had a good outfit... and with the hot hot weather, I really wasn't bothered wearing anything remotely worth shooting. Well enough with the excuses, here is a new super simple outfit that I was wearing today. Scored these jeans in the finale sale at Zara. I wasn't planning on buying another pair of printed jeans (I think I own like 20 pairs allready... not kiddin!) but they fit me perfectly. And they are high wasted, a feature of which I didn't own yet. I have always been hesitant to wearing high wasted jeans, since I thought it wouldn't fit perfectly since I have hips and all.... but it's not! It's like my first pair of jeans that don't crawl down whenever you try to bend over. I'm a fan! Well since I hurt my ankle again... (accident prone??) I have to wear comfy shoes, so my fake vans are perfect! Combined it all with a new linnen tee from zara. Another thing I own in large quantities: back tee's! I think a basic tee is one of the worlds best inventions!

NL// Eindelijk een nieuwe outfit post! Ik heb de afgelopen dagen niet altijd een fotograaf gehad wanneer ik eindelijk een leuke outfit aanhad; want met dat warme weer heb ik niet de moeite genomen om mezelf foto-waardig te kleden. Okay, genoeg gezeurd! Hier de simpele outfit die ik vandaag aanhad. Deze jeans heb ik de final sale van de zara gescoord! Ik was eigenlijk niet van plan om nog een geprinte jeans te kopen, daar ik volgens mij al 20 bedrukte jeans/broeken heb. Maar hij zit gewoon perfect en ik heb nog geen high-wasted jeans in mijn collectie. het even geduurd voor ik een high-wasted jeans wilde proberen daar ik gewoonweg heupen heb en ik altijd dacht dat dat niet samen ging met die hoge taille. Maar dat is helemaal niet zo... het is zelfs ontzetten prettig! Nu hoef ik helemaal geen rekening te houden wanneer ik buk ofzo: broek blijft prima zitten! Daar ik alweer geblesseerd ben (alweer ja....) zijn mijn zeer comfortabele nep-vans de ideale schoenen. Heerlijk gecombineerd met een simpele linnen tee en mijn outfit is af. Nog zoiets waar ik zeer veel exemplaren van heb: basic t-shirts! Ik ben echt van mening dat een basic tee een van s'werelds beste uitvindingen is! 

I'm wearing:
Printed Jeans: Zara | Tee: Zara | Sneakers: Primark | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Necklace: Fashionology | Lipstick: Hema

Inspiration: Wise Words













EN// I love Pinterest! Since my photo editing program is pretty much stuffed I decided to pinterest the whole night (and listen to Amy MacDonald...) in stead of fixing it.... so I thought: why not treat you to some of my favorites quotes? I can literately spend all night pinning, getting inspired by all the wise words, lovely pics etc. So for today I leave you a scrapbook-page of my favorite quotes; hope they inspire you as much as they inspire me! 

NL// Ik ben verslaafd aan Pinterest! My photo editor programma werkt momenteel niet, en in plaats van daar iets aan doen heb ik de hele avond gepinned (and Amy Mac geluisterd...). Dus vandaag laat ik jullie mijn favo quotes zien! Ik kan letterlijk de hele avond pinnen; Ik raak zo geinspireerd door al die wijze woorden, mooie foto's etc. Dus: hier mijn scrapbook-pagina met een paar van mijn favo quotes. Dat ze jou net zo mogen inspireren als ze mij inspireren!

EN// What a weekend we had! It was warm, sunny & hot! Loved it! More on my weekend later on this week!
This is what I was wearing Saturday eve to my brother's B-day BBQ. By the way: don't you just love the lavender field that is just outside of my house? Love to stroll around here (or run) it's so relaxing!
Now to the clothes: everything I'm wearing I found at the back of my wardrobe, love these instant ensembles of stuff I didn't even know I owned.

I'm wearing:
Maxi dress: H&M | Sequin sleeveless vest: Dept | Necklace: Maison Scotch | Belt: Primark | Sandals: de Bijenkorf | Sunnies: Ray-ban | Lipstick: Hema

NL// Wow, wat een weekend hebben we net achter de rug: warm, zonnig & heet! Heerlijk! Meer over mijn weekend komt later deze week op de blog. Dit is wat ik zaterdagavond aan had naar t BBQ feestje ter ere van mijn broertjes verjaardag! By the way: wat vinden jullie van dit lavendel-veld dat serieus net achter mijn huis ligt? Ik vind het heerlijk om hier doorheen te wandelen, of te rennen natuurlijk. Zo chill. 
Nu mijn outfit. Alles wat ik aan heb vond ik ergens in mijn kast. Ik vind het heerlijk om outfits samen te stellen van items waarvan ik niet eens wist dat ik ze had! 

Ik draag: 
Maxi dress: H&M | Gilet met pailletten: Dept | Ketting: Maison Scotch | Riem: Primark | Sandalen: de Bijenkorf | Zonnebril: Ray-ban | Lipstick: Hema

Beauty: My Daily Make-up Products

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

EN// I have been meaning to do a post like this for a while, but I never seem to have all my products new and in mint condition. So since this is as good as it;s gets, I figured: why not shoot this baby right now?
These are the products I use for my everyday make-up. Nope, I'm not a beauty guru, neither am I a beauty blogger, since I seriously hardly know anything about make-up. I'm the kind of person that asks what product to buy, and then sticks with it forever (or until it goes out of stock...).

NL// Ik wilde al tijden zo'n blogpost maken. Maar het lukte me nooit om een moment to vinden waarop al mijn dagelijks producten nieuw en ongebruikt zijn. Sinds nu alleen mijn blusher half op is, was dit het moment om deze foto's te maken. Overigens: ik ben echt geen beauty goeroe, ook geen beauty blogger. Ik weet vrijwel niets van make-up. Ik vraag advies aan mensen en dat volg ik op tot de producten niet meer verkrijgbaar zijn. 

Foundation : Max Factor Face Finity (Natural 70)
Eyeshadow Mono : Rimmel Glam'eyes (180 Gold Rush)
Eyeshadow Palette : Catrice Absolute Nude (010 All Nude)
Powder : Rimmel Stay Matte (005 Silky Beige)
Blusher : Max Factor Flawless Perfection (223 Natural Glow)
Eyeshadow Base : Essence I Love Stage
Under Eye Concealer : Hema (01)
Eyebrow Pencil : Hema (11)
Kohl Kajal Pencil : Catrice (020 Nearly Black)
Mascara : L'oreal Paris Lash Architect Waterproof  (Black)

Food: Strawberry Smoothies

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

EN// As you might know I'm a sucker for smoothies. I could live on these things! Now that summer has hit the Netherlands I'm even more into these healthy beverages. I have a super simple recipe and a little insiders trick for you.

NL// Zoals jullie wel weten hou ik enorm van smoothies. Hier een super simpel recept!


You'll need:
1 banana / 1 banaan
250 grams of strawberries / 250 gram aardbeien
soy milk (as much as you like) / Soya melk (zoveel als je wilt)
Blender or mixer

Extra:
Ziplock freezerbags  / druk- en sluit diepvrieszakjes
wooden skewers for decorating / cocktailprikkers

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Step 1:
I like to have an ice cold smoothie. So I always have chopped banana in my freezer. This is also a good tip when you buy a lot of bananas at once, when you think they are nearly going bad, you can chop them and freeze them. I use ziplock bags so that I can choose how many slices I use and put the rest back in my freezer.
// Ik houd van ijskoude smoothies, dat bereik ik door bevroren fruit toe te voegen. Ik vries bananenschijfjes in druk- en sluitzakjes in. Hierdoor kan ik altijd het gewenste aantal eruit halen. Dit is ook een tip als je net als ik veel bananen tegelijk koopt: wanneer ze bruin worden kun je ze invriezen. Zo hoef je geen fruit meer weg te gooien.

Insiders tip: Make sure you place the pieces next to each other in the bag, so the freeze separately.
//Zorg dat je de partjes naast elkaar invriest, zo voorkom je dat ze aanelkaar vriezen.

Step 2: Wash, clean and cut your strawberries. Add your frozen banana (or un-frozen if you didn't do that step).  // Maak je aarbeien schoon, halveer ze. Stop ze samen met de bevroren banaan (of niet-bevroren banaan) in een maatbeker.

Step 3: Use a blender or mixer. // Blenden maar

Step 4: After 10 seconders of blending add your soy milk. // Na 10 seconden blenden, voeg soja melk toe

Step 5: Pop in glass. Add a wooden skewers with a few pieces of strawberry for decorating // Doe in een glas en versier met een cocktail prikker met stukjes aardbei

 Enjoy!!

Extra recipe: Frozen banana + soy milk makes a terrific soft serve. Healthy ice-cream!

Extra recept: Bevroren banaan + soja melk maakt een heerlijk gezond soft-ijsje!

Ps: Not to sure how the EN/NL thing worked out... Has anyone got tips for me?

Outfit: A Casual Workday

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Hello guys! Well I made it through festivalmonth, so I'm back in the blogging business. With that said it is so busy at my work I'm not sure if it's true what I'm saying now... well just wait and see shall we. The good news is my blog mailbox is empty! So if I didn't reply to you, please send it the mail again, I had to work my way through a lot of mails, so I could have gotten lost along the way.
Well this outfit is kind of a request of some of you guys: what I wear to the office. Well this is just a normal office look. I don't wear jeans when I have meetings, but on a normal day I love to dress down but always like to wear a jacket on top. These shoes are the best sale buy I got this season, they are perfect for workplace  and the light colour is perfect for summer.
By the way: needlessly to say, these photo's were taken a few weeks ago, when it wasn't that hot yet. On an office day like today (26 degrees!), I would wear a skirt of a light blouse.

Hope you have a great week! I know my week is going to week very busy, so I'm going to be so happy when it's Friday.... Keep calm!

I'm wearing:
Jacket: Zara | Peplum Top: H&M Trend | Jeans: H&M | Belt: Zara | Boots: Zara |

She's been on my blog before, and now she's back. My favorite pet in the whole wide world: Zipp.
I'm actually terrified of dogs, seriously! But because I have known her since she was a pup, this is different, she gets me. This is what I like to wear after a hot day at the office, when I'm just hanging around my house: sweat shorts and a tee. Super simple, nothing fancy.
Have you got nice plans for the weekend? I'm going to Bospop tomorrow! Can't wait to see Amy MacDonald perform. That'll be the last festival of my marathon... then I can finally spend my weekends blogging again (or cleaning my messy house...) But first: Bospop it is!

I'm wearing:
Ramones Shirt: Pull 'n Bear | Sweat Shorts: Pull 'n Bear | Sneakers: Converse

I have packed my bags to go to the Rock Werchter festival, but I couldn't leave without showing you what I was wearing Saturday when I was out running errands: sporty in black. I love these wedge sneakers, so I wear them every chance I get. Also these old leather leggings, which are ripped on both knees (and yes...that happened cause they are so old) throw on an oversized sporty top and your good to go.

The next few days I'll be sleeping in a tent, wearing easy outfits, enjoying the music. The weather should be good, the line-up even better. I'll show you my adventures when I get back!

Have a good weekend!

I'm wearing:
Big Tee: H&M | Leather Leggings: H&M | Sneakers: Nike Dunk Sky High | Cross Bangle: Fashionology.nl
