Life has started again

First of all, thank you very much for your concerns! :)
My sore throat was probably the result of some sort of a cold I had for the past two weeks. With a peak on that evening (and the morning after), but later that day it completely disappeared and I was a normal healthy person again! 

Now the second week of university is at its end I can tell with certainty that my social life is a lot better then previous year! But I'm not sure yet that's a good thing, I need some peace and quiet now and then. So in my spare time I watched season 3 of Glee, love that show haha ! But that isn't good either unfortunately. I need to focus on my lessons again, I've got some grades to pick up!

Here is an outfit from this week:

You know that kind of dress, hanging in your closet, barely touched cause you always think meh, and then you try it on again and think waw ? I had it with this one !

Oh, no! My favourite shoes are getting worn out! I just got them about a year now :(

dress AllSaints, jeans MANGO, shoes River Island, necklace Claire's, hat Seeberger (P&C)


PS Here and in the previous post you get a little sneak peek of my new place! Cause I know some of my friends who haven't been here yet will read this. :) It's way, waaaay more cosier!

Sweet dreams

Yesterday, it was Student Kick-off here in Ghent. That's a big party for the students in the city to open the new year. I was in the mood for something sweet so I grabbed this old H&M dress and combined it with some knee socks. Quit simular like here actually. I also had to go to class first and I didn't want to look slutty with that mini dress and knee socks. That was a main reason to sweeten things up too!

The first thing when I came home was grabbing some honey! I had a horable sore throat, I hope I'm not getting ill. And unfortunately the honey didn't helped that much, I'll be visiting a pharmacy today!

dress H&M, jacket (new!) Promod, friends necklace Claire's, flower necklace Urban Outfitters, but the original flower fell off and my niece from JUNE fixed it with a new one :)

Late summer traveling

Hi there!
Last week I went to Rome for a short holiday with my parents. After a year filled with archeology and art history this is like a dream coming true, even though Ruby and I visited the city before. I took a gazillion pictures, which I'd love to show to you! Of course I don't want to overwhelm you so I forced forced myself to make a selection. Are you ready? Here they come !

I saw my name on the ground! How awesome is that?! And check those huge lashes, spotted at the airport in Eindhoven! I wonder which mascara she used. ;)  The green parrot-like bird can be found in almost every park in Rome. But they are perfectly camouflaged, so prepare to search a while!

Oh yes, of course we visited al the main touristic attractions, since they are pretty interesting. :)
Seeing the Angel's castle reminded me immediately at Angels & Demons (aka The Bernini Mystery's film version). (right top)

A very creepy me below at the corner, but some beautiful light in the overly decorated basilica.

On top of the dome...

Way too crowded at the Trevi fountain. But I guess it actually works. Since I threw a coin last time, and here we are, two years later I'm in Rome again!

Finally satisfied when I found some shadow and a place to sit. It was 30° in the middle of the day, waaaay to hot for my stay-inside-whole-August-body! And the stupid thing is that I'm not even a little bit tanned after dying of heath for 5 days!

Yup, birdspotting was one of my favourite temporary hobbies. Man I love my tele lens!
And meet my friend the pineapple! Probably the closest I ever get to a boyfriend ;)

Of course I did some shopping too. I bought a perfect "thing" to add to Ruby's birthday present, which unfortunately didn't survived very well in my suitcase. :( I also bought Urban Decay's NAKED palette! That was standing on my wishlist for a very long time, but we haven't got a Sephora in Belgium. And it turned out that Rome's Fashion Night Out was held that week! I couldn't miss that of course. After some high fashion outfits, a fashion show, way too loud music and several flyers, I succeeded to buy a black jacket/cardigan at Promod. Finally! My previous one was totally worn-out.
At certain moment a woman gave my very enthusiastic a flyer when she saw me. She asked something too but after making clear I just speak English she looked disappointed. But something in her first reaction made me very curious about the content of that flyer. Later google translate helped me and it appeared to be some course to become a stylist, or a designer. Now I'm wondering if that's a compliment or insult about my style, certainly since I was dressed in my easy going tourist outfit! :p
Now I'm (desperately) enjoying the last part of my vacation. My class begins next Monday al ready! On the other hand I can't wait to move to my new place. But first a foam party Friday, I'm really curious :D

September's yield

The moment my resits were done had to be celebrated of course. And how do you celebrate some frustrated weeks of constantly studying? Shopping of course ! So the next Saturday after my music lessons I immediately went to the Wijnegem Shopping Center with my broken phone as a perfect excuse. It resulted in some beautiful boughts, that are mainly basic. Mission accomplished!
Further I have to apologise for the colours, they are different in reality, but they come close to the original colours!

Not very basic, but a black blouse always comes in handy, even if it's see through. And I immediately fell in love with the leather collar! (New Look)

A basic warm cardigan that fits on everything, perfect for winter! (WE)

And of course after buying a cardigan, I spotted another one!
I rarely pass the children's section in my local H&M, since it's on a floor without woman's clothing lately. But this time I entered the store via this floor and on my way to the escalator I noticed this cute cardigan, looking rather big, and oh so cheap! (Just 15 Euros, wow!) You'll understand I made a little happy dance in the fitting room. Or maybe I did that mentally. (H&M kids)

Perfect pants for winter! (H&M)

And I totally fell in love with these earrings, I've been wearing them non-stop lately! They sparkle so beautiful in the sunshine :) (H&M)

So that's it! Meanwhile my September shoplog has grown more and more, certainly after my holiday this week! But more about that later...
