Weathergirl

 
Good evening this is Siel from Two Wonder Girls with today's weather report.
Yes, I want to dedicate a blogpost about the weather. I guess I am that superficial. But you have to admit that the weather lately is a bit strange over here. Last week I was ready to take out my sunnies al ready. I grabbed the first pair that I could find and threw it in my bag. Unfortunately I was just too late to enjoy the wonderful spring weather. On day one I was practising with a driver instructor. (tip: If you're in Ghent next Thursday, keep away from the roads!) And I spent day two entirely in an auditory. You'll understand that I was a little disappointed with the grey and drizzling weather afterwards. My sunglasses are stored again, but this won't let me down. I still see some positive aspects! Let's see:

Positive:

• Well hello fur coat! I was about to put you away, but it seems that your last days aren't over this year. Aww yeah!
• One last chance to go playing in the snow. Snowmen, snowballs, ... here I come ! 
• I'm not tired of my winter closet yet. Some specific items can be worn only in this period of the year,  so I have to hurry! But I'll try avoiding this.
• The closet in my dorm room (or clothes rack actually) is still filled with winter clothing. That's handy, very handy!

 Negative:

• I was planning to wear heels whole week, to test which pair is most comfortable on a special occasion on Friday eve! Brr I guess it will be boots again.
• Yeah I was really looking forward to the heels thing. I don't often wear heels, especially in winter, but I loved wearing them again last week. Heels can provide a sudden boost of femininity and confidence.
• Some sunshine and more pleasant temperatures would be better for my annoying cold. I'm tired of coughing and snot. Snot, isn't that a great word? It was so awesome to find out it's the same word in English!

 
Final conclusion:
An extra week of winter, snow, soup, candles, blankets, ... That doesn't sound so bad! (Forgetting about the fact that it's a bit strange after a week of warm spring weather.) But bring on the sun again afterwards! I want to wear sunnies and floral patterns and summer coats again!

Chocolate chip cookie dough topped with banana cream

Today I went to Julie's House with my university buddies. Julie's House is a self called cupcake store in Ghent, that serves the best pies in my opinion! Every time I come there I think about dragging Ruby to see this place, she would totally love it! Though there might be a risk of losing her for ever, she might get overly attached to this tea time loving place.

It was hard to choose between the Apple brown sugar cake and Chocolate banana pie, but as you can see, I opted for the last one. And though it weirdly looks as yellow as curie, it tasted deliciously like banana! With a hint of chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmmm
For a drink I choose the Sweet Love tea by Kusmi, also highly recommended. Certainly if you fell miserable whole week like me, after suffering of a bad cold!

Oh and I went to the hair dresser the day before! Nothing special, just cutting the dead ends and layering a little bit. The main reason why it looks so different is because it's almost a middle parting and it's very straight. But it won't last. As soon as I wash it, it will be normal again, like three post below. I kinda liked this, but I don't mind having my own more curly/nonchalant hair style again!

Tomorrow will be a busy day, filled with music school activities and hopefully some redying my hair!
See you seen!

A hidden gem

JBC is a store that is seriously underestimated by the young folks here in Belgium. They don't seem to notice it, they aren't interested, they have forgotten about it. I can count all my friends who visit their store now and then on one hand. But I understand why, despite JBC's attempts for a fresh new image most young people see it as a boring family store. A place to go shopping when you were a kid or for your parents. FALSE. They have proven to be young and dynamic. Remember their multiple collaborations with De Designers (Belgium's Project Runway), or Christophe Coppens? And last fall's collaboration with Alice Temperley and Kaat Tilley? That's not bad at all, on the contrary!

I'm going to prove to you that JBC is a cool and trendy store. Even so much that my mother starts to complain that it's "just for the young folks". These lookbook pictures from the current collection remind me that I urgently have to visit one of their stores!

Nevertheless, I see JBC as a hidden gem. The lack of visits from my generation causes that the best pieces (in my humble opinion) and sizes remain in store. So shhh, don't tell too many people!

Beauty and the Beast?

Hello, this is Ruby speaking after a long time again. Happy B-day to you again Siel! I had an amazing time and I hope you had too. ^-^
.

It so hard to meet with Siel, because of school work, but I hope we can meet more often because being with here is just way to much fun. I can't find anybody else who can make me feel so happy, so thank you Siel! ^-^ Besides. Some crazy picture are up for today. Ruby with a blond wig, never seen that before, huh! Perhaps... you did a long long long, time ago, but this one definitely suites me much better. Do you guys ever wear wigs just for fun? I think I have 4 in total now and it's fun. (but warm -.-" and my hair gets messy of it.)
Besides hair, I adore this teacup/pot! It's from zalando, and they really have to most amazing stuff! Like this teacup/pot which looks  like the one of Beauty and the Beast, don't you agree? Yeah and me as teacup and teapot lover, know that I keep collecting till I have no space anymore and have to upgrade the house, but this one has definitely deserved a nice place! There are more nice cups there, so you should take a look. Besides that they also have clothes and jewellery, shoes... Have fun checking the site out!
