Like a princess


I'm getting more and more into dark lipstick lately. I'm crazy about this and this. But when I tried it myself I noticed that my darkest lipstick isn't as dark as I thought. No problem, let's try something else! I added a Rituals lip gloss with the applicable name Ruby and it became a beautiful shade of cherry red. Together with my (at the moment) curly hair and flowered tiara I felt like a princess!

Also a little outfit sneak peak. It was a normal day for college and lazy me didn't feel like dressing up in the morning, so it became a simple pink-ish tee with purple-ish pants. Luckily the nail polish Ruby gave me last week brought salvation with a hint of mint.

Brussels - L'Oréal Paris Professionnel

Brussels - L'Oréal Paris Professionnel - Journey 




Hello everybody! Siel and I went to the "L'Oreal Paris Professionnel" event! It's was amazing and here are some pictures from our journey to the event in our capital Brussels. We went there by train, but we were brought back by taxi. What a service, don't you agree! Though it was quite late when we arrived home, but it was definitely worth it! The show was truly amazing and spending time with Siel is of course even better! Now I apparently have a sore esophagus and you know what, it actually hurts quiet a lot, but it has moments I don't feel it at all. Yesterday evening it really bothered me a lot, but this morning I only felt a little sick. Apparently it's because I have too much acids in my stomach, so lets get rid of it! Enjoy the pictures and we hoop you had a nice weekend too.

Like a tea tray in the sky

Hello sweet readers, how are you all. Weekend is approaching. Siel and I are going to Brussels on Sunday and I can't wait to finally meet her again. I'm sure it will be amazing, like always. In the main time, I hope I can please you guys with these tea pictures. The cute teapot that looks like the one from "Beauty and the Beast" is from Zalando, previously shown in this post as well. The amazingly stunning feather earrings are also from Zalando. Like I told you before, they have a lot of amazing products, be sure to check it out, but before that enjoy the pictures!

Wonder girl

I'm feeling more and more like true Wonder Girl lately!
(Wonder as in Wonderland if you might have wondered)
A few days ago I went to an Oxfam bookshop and came across a cute, old and little Alice in Wonderland book. It didn't mention a date of publication, but on one of the first pages was 26-12-'21 written in pencil, so it's probably an edition from before (terminus ante quem) 1921! The book got a nice place on my bookshelf next to my other treasures, Jane Austen and Jules Verne.
And a couple days earlier I've got the DVD of Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland as another birthday present, awesome!

The phrase "Off with his head!" always reminds me of Ruby, who couldn't stop shouting it around when the movie just released. Oh and just one little thing, Ruby isn't my sister, she's my best friend! :)

I love that Alice hasn't got her typical (Disney) blue-dress-with-white-apron-outfit yet. That image will be stuck in our heads for ever I guess, but it wasn't what Lewis Caroll made up.
Did you know by the way, that the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland (1951) is actually a compilation of Lewis Caroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the looking glass, and what Alice found there'? I didn't until yesterday!
