Marni @ H&M

So, with 1 day and 23 hours left before launch, I'll share my petite list. On the day prior I'm actually working, so I hope that ..
1. I'm back home at 00.00 so I can order online
2. Still at work and order over there
3. Way too late so on to Utrecht to wait in line and hope for the best..

What I hope for?! These 2(yes, just 2) items..

There will probably be A LOT more who are hoping for these items..but maybe it's just meant to be. We'll see, and ofcourse, I'll let you know if I got anything!

Do you have any Marni @ H&M items on your wishlist?!

Nou, 1 dag en 23 uur voor de lancering van de collectie kon ik het niet laten mijn bescheiden lijstje met jullie te delen! Op de dag voor de lancering ben ik aan het werk.. dus ik hoop dat
1. Ik op tijd klaar ben zodat ik online kan bestellen om 00.00
2. We nog even aan het naborrelen zijn en ik daar even wegsneak om te bestellen
3. Veel te laat, door naar Utrecht om in de rij te wachten..

Er zullen vast heel veel meer meisjes zijn die deze items ook hopen te shoppen, misschien zijn ze voor me bestemd.. Nouja, we zien wel! En natuurlijk laat ik het weten als ik iets heb kunnen bemachtigen!

Heb jij al een lijstje met items van Marni @ H&M?

Lots of LOVE

Outfit: Shine, shine on..

So, yesterday some one (I won't call any names but it starts with a J and ends on etske.) forced me to put up some outfit posts, which ofcourse, is my desire as well. SO, here it is! Not the best shots(I guess they will come with a better camera and sunshine), I look a bit pale with no lips, on the second photo you'll see I actually have got them, haha!

H&M sequined shirt

ZARA coated jeans

ZARA suede anckle boots

Edit:

Gister dwong iemand(ik noem geen namen maar het begint met een J en eindigt op etske) me een outfitpost online te zetten, wat ik natuurlijk zelf ook heel leuk vind. Dus, een outfitpost! Niet de beste foto's(die zullen vast wel komen met een betere camera en meer zon) want ik lijk een beetje witjes en het lijkt alsof ik geen lippen heb, hoewel in ze in de 2e foto toch duidelijk aanwezig zijn, haha! 

 

What do you think?!

Lots of LOVE!

CRAVING AND SAVING

WOAAAA! When I did my casual round of blogs last night, I stopped by The Blonde Salad as always but this time, I fell in love. O.M.G. I love the new Alexander Wang sandals!

They look so easy to walk on(which they probably aren't), they have different colours and are fashionable. To pay them I'll have to suffer for a while(they are a little less than my wage this month, 15 euros less to be exact, pretty good for some work in the weekend though) but anyhow, I'm up for it!

Love them as well?

Lots of love!

WOAAAH! Toen ik gisteravond mijn dagelijkse rondje blogs deed, kwam ik langs The Blonde Salad, zoals gewoonlijk. Deze keer werd ik verliefd. O.M.G. wat zijn ze prachtig, de nieuwe Alexander Wang sandalen!

Het lijkt alsof ze superlekker lopen(wat waarschijnlijk niet zo is), mooie kleuren en materialen en zijn bovenal fashionable. Om ze te kunnen betalen zal ik even moeten lijden (ze kosten bijna evenveel als mijn maandloon van januari, 15 euro minder, wat nog best oke is voor wat weekendwerk) maar dat heb ik er in ieder geval voor over!

Vind jij ze ook zo mooi?!

The ´Burgundy´ babe!

When I saw Isabella her Style Report from Social Morphose I started to follow them on Facebook and today, a style report about me was online! They putted up a real nice story as well, which is in Dutch, but I translated it as well! Thank you Social Morphose!

Carlijn, ‘The Burgundy Babe’. Je doet me een beetje op Nigella Lawson denken. Met volle teugen geniet jij van ‘food and fashion’. Voor jou dan ook deze ‘yummie’ outfit.

Little List..

This time, a list with my favourite trends!

1. Skinny jeans!
I remember a Dutch artist on Idols sayin´ ´I would NEVER wear one of those ´carrot´ pants
1´. Well, I saw her last year and I bet she has about 20 in her closet. Anyhow I actually was with her at the time. But since I got a skinny jeans, I NEVER wanted something else and will never say some trend is ugly or that I would never wear it. You can find me in any colour or type. Coated, pink, black, with and without zippers, heels or sandals.. you name it!

2. Hats!
Again, 3 years ago I thought Í´d never buy a hat, but I looooove them now. I´m planning to buy a JOSH V hat next season!

3. Sequins
Totally in love. I was quite late on this one actually. First I thought they were a bit over the top, but now I wear my sequined shirt a LOT. A sequined dress, clutch and maybe a skirt or hotpants are on my list!

4. Skirts
Guess it´s not a trend, but still. Anyhow, something I also discovered just yet! Since my Topshop skirt I didn´t buy another, but now, I see SO MUCH nice ones that I really love, and I´m already thinking about which ones and combinating them..bad isn´t it

5. (biker)Boots
BIG like for them! I´m still saving a bit for the ZARA ones, the black ones with black studs. Rough, but detailed and wearable everyday. Since the dark green ones I can´t think of a better kind of shoe(apart from the high heel ofcourse) that´s better to combinate! Skirts, jeans, dresses, shorts, everything is possible!

What is your favourite trend?

LOVE!

Wish, a wish, right now!

Just a few minutes ago, I checked out the ZARA site, where I found some new products I love..

As you can see, turquoise is something I really like, and I'm also into the asymmatric skirts and dresses! There's a thousand ways to combinate..

As in the picture, with boots, to make it rough or with heels/wedges to create long legs!

1. Dress with fringes, €39,95
2. Long flowered, €79,95
3. Asymmetric skirt, €39,95

Versace & H&M

Last week I ordered these earrings and a bikini, thinking I'd like the bikini more..but it's the other way around! These earrings have SUCH a vintage look and I'm in LOVE with them.

What do you think? Did you order something?

This was my outfit today!

And at the and of the day, the amazing two finger ring came in the outfit for a little colour and kitsch, bought it at H&M! Like?!

Lots of love!

Sale shopping..

Actually, I don't like sale shopping that much, everything in my size happens to be sold out pretty much everywhere and everybody is pushing and pulling and screaming and.. the waiting at the fitting rooms. Lucky bastards we are with webshops. So I was browsing around the web last night and saw the H&M sale for the first time(BLIND?!) and ofcourse, I couldn't stop myself from ordering some nice shirts and very nice sunnies!

I'm actually craving for shirts that make an outfit special, and I already tried this one last November at a H&M store and they were pretty nice, but I didn't think I needed them. Now I do(do I?). Anyway, it was love at first sight, nothing different to say about the sunnies, let the sunshine in pleeease!

All H&M sale

What dou you think about them? And what about sale shopping?!

LOVE!

DIY: I 'Shell' tell you a secret...

About storing jewelry...

Years ago, when my aunt and uncle didn't have children for themselves, I used to sleep over, they were living in a much bigger city than the one me and my family lived in, so it was amazing for me! We did shopping all the time and had a lot of lunches and amazing dinners. Remember I was writing about that aunt with great cooking skills?! Well, she's the one!

Anyhow, after dinners, lunches, shopping and a night of sleep, I was mostly spoiled with a morning in the bath that had a great view on the city and the park but the only think I was looking at were the mirrors.

She made the mirrors herself, two big ones with tropical shells she found on all of her trips, such a great memory. I was obsessed with the mirrors, and when they moved to a bigger house..I GOT ONE OF THE MIRRORS!

Mirror and jewelry you think? Well, since the shells have all different shapes, sizes, points, curves and perfect placements, the shells are great to make them more usefull and pretty by hanging them with your bling! Mine mostly filled with my nacklaces, bracelets, long earrings and big rings. I think it's amazing because we all need(want) a mirror, we all love jewelry(most of us) and I think it's a great way to save room when you don't have a lot of space to store your jewelry or if you don't want a jewelry tree!

Now, it's pretty easy to make one yourself!
What do you need:
- Mirror
- Paint
- Shells
- Gluepistol

Get some paint in the colour of your choice and give the mirror the colour you like. When the mirror is dry, it's time to get the glue pistol. Make sure the shells stick to the mirror very good and do this untill you think the mirror is full enoug! Ofcourse you can do the same wit photoframes or other things you want to 'pimp' up!

And hey, pick a nice sunny day to collect the shells, maybe with your lover or a girlfriend to make it a nice day out!

What do you think about this?! How do you store your jewellry?!
A more detailed post about necklaces is coming soon!

Lots of love!

Little List!

Because of the holidays, I didn't even think about what day it actually was! Did you?! I just saw my agenda for the first time this year and was amazed by the speed of the days(10th already!). Well, it's Tuesday as well, and to go back to last year, I posted a little list every Tuesday. This will probably shuffle between days of the week from now, but I'll keep you up with my lists..ofcourse!

What I'm showing you today? My favourite nailpolishes for this moment!

1. My absolute favourite, FIRE, Chanel LE VERNIS
classy, fashionable and goes with every other colour!

2. PARTICULIERE, Chanel LE VERNIS
I couldn't be happier at the moment they told me 505 was going to stay in the collection, SUCH a great, nude colour that I wear a lot

3. BLUE SATIN, Chanel, LE VERNIS
when I want to go dark, but not black

4. Stormy Grey, YSL
grey, but blue-ish grey, very special

5. Nails in Mannequin, TOPSHOP
nude, but it has colour, great for a day at work!

What are your favourites?!

Lots of love!

Food diary!

After a week with a LOT of sleep, sport and rain, I also tried to eat healthier, which I did from the 2nd of January.. let's see what was on the menu!

1. This was my breakfast 3 times this week, it's something that fills very good and after this, I'm not hungry untill (late)lunch.

2. Well, what I said at 1 is not totally true, after 1,5 hour of fitness, I'm mostly craving for something to eat and I decided to bring something healthy with me!

3. This was the 30th of December, my friend and I went to Doetinchem where she wanted to buy an outfit for NYE and ofcourse, we had to eat something(I guess we danced enough to burn this all)

4. My friend Linda came by to have a drink

5. 1st of January, the Dutch tradition is to eat 'Oliebollen' at the first(and second and third...) of January, so we did!

6. A healthy milky drink with strawberry/cherry flavour to start the day, I like!

So, did you eat a lot during the change of years?! And do you have any resolutions that involve food for 2012? Tell me!

Lots of love!
