It’s about time!

ImageHi Guys!

Today wasn’t like any other lazy sunday! I actually managed to get out of my pajamas and on the road in search of a new watch!

I’ve had my eyes on these Michael Kors rose golden watches for such a long time now, I decided it was about time to spend my money! And so I did…

Hoi!

vandaag was het voor de verandering eens geen “lazy” zondag voor mij! 

Al een ruime tijd geleden is mijn liefde ontstaan voor de rosé gouden horloges van Michael Kors, maar ik vond ze altijd te duur om er echt eentje te kopen. Tot vandaag…

That’s not all!

I also spotted this cutie at the register so I had to get it (it was 50% off)!!

Toen ik ging afrekenen zag ik deze cutiepie hangen aan de kassa, deze kon niet ontbreken in mijn collectie (zeker niet aan de helft van de prijs)!

I got all these items at the Michael Kors store at Maasmechelen Village, a store worth visiting since I got this all for a much better prince than the regular retail price!  😉

Alle items werden aangekocht in de Michael Kors winkel in Maasmechelen Village, de moeite waard om eens te bezoeken als je op zoek bent naar een goedkoper Michael Kors horloge! 😉

New Nails / Nieuwe Nagels

Image

Yesterday I got some new nail stuff!

Gisteren had ik weer eens een dagje vrij en dus heb ik weer wat nieuwe nagelspulletjes gekocht!

I’m proud to present you my two new nail loves! First of all I got this new nail polish by Catrice Cosmetics, it’s this really pretty golden bronze color called The GlamoureX Effect (number 24).

Met veel trots stel ik deze nieuwe Catrice Cosmetics nagellak aan jullie voor, het is een super mooi gouden/brons kleur genoemd The GlamoureX Effect (nummer 24).

Once applied this nail polish seems to appear more silver than bronze (I think all those little glitters are the ones to blame!). Still like the color though!

Eenmaal aangebracht lijkt de kleur echter veel lichter uit te vallen, de lak lijkt meer zilver dan brons door alle glitters die erin verwerkt zitten. Maar ik vind het nog steeds een super mooie kleur!

Image

Next to a nice golden bronze color I had been searching for the perfect neon orange/pink/coral nail polish. Still I didn’t manage to find one I actually liked at the drugstore :(. Instead I picked these babies up… These are the “new” (in Belgium!) imPRESS Press-On Manicure nails in the exact color I was looking for!

Naast een perfecte bronzen nagellak, stond ook het vinden van de ideale fluo oranje/roze/koraalrode nagellak op mijn lijstje. Helaas slaagde ik er niet in een kleur te vinden die voldeed aan mijn eisen, in de plaats daarvan besloot ik dan maar de nieuwe imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway nagels te kopen (en te proberen!).

The package comes with 24 nails, a prep pad wipe and a small file!

Het pakket bestaat uit 24 nagels, een “prep pad” doekje en een kleine vijl!

Bikerista

 Hi there!

Biker is the way to go this season!

So fashionably as I am I couldn’t let this trend pass by without joining it!

I already own my very own pair of biker boots (see previous post), and I also have a “”cool chick” leather jacket but I wasn’t satisfied yet!

So I opened my wallet once again and here is the result: 

All these beauties were purchased at Modemusthaves, a site every fashionista (on a budget) should know! They sell beautiful & trendy shoes, clothes and accessories! Please check it out!

New Year, New loves

Hi there, since it has been since last year that I wrote something on this blog it’s about time for me to date you up on the new things in my life!

First of all: Happy New Year!

New year resolution: write more blogposts!

So now we’ve handled this sh*t let’s move on to the more important things in life! (Yes, I only have one new year’s resolution because I don’t believe in these things actually working, at least not for me)

The first week of the year I was lucky enough to have some days off, so guess what happened next! Indeed, I took my best friend onto the train to Antwerp City for a whole day of shopping galore! Since it was only the second day of the winter sales and the crowds where overwhelming (more clothing items on the floor of the store than on the hangers, a one hour waiting line at both the fitting rooms and the cash register! (or almost)), I didn’t really buy that much, but the thing(s) I did buy where absolutely worth it (and without any discount!).

Don’t you just love it! At least I do, I just keep looking at it all the time.

It’s called Emilie and it’s about the cheapest wallet I could find at the LV store (which had a decent size).

The next product I absolutely love is this Philosophy packet which I got as a Christmas gift for myself. After using their Raspberry sorbet shower gel for a few months I thought it was about time to ad a new fragrance to my collection. This box consists of a shower gel, body lotion and a lipgloss all in the same great scent called vanilla frost.

I purchased mine at the Ici Paris Xl store in Hasselt but you can also order it online. 

 

Just do it, you’ll love it! (I promise)

 

Next thing is a product I had heard so much great things about I just had to get it! It’s the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain(or Rouge pur couture vernis a levres) in number 18 called Rose Pastelle. I choose the lightest color of pink available because that’s what I like my lips to look like, though some might find it a bit too much Barbie-like 😉 (I don’t care, every little girl wants to be Barbie right?).

So far I like it a lot! It looks very fluid and weird when you put it on, but once dried it leaves a perfect color on your lips which will last you a long time (even when drinking)! It’s almost like the gloss kind of disappears and the color stains your lips to the very, very best.

Please forgive the bad pictures in the (almost) dark but I just got it today and I absolutely had to show you guys! Though I was clever enough to take a picture of me wearing it in the daylight.

This item can also be purchased online here.

Last but not least their is my latest nail-polish addiction called Leading Lady by (what else?) Essie!

Its the perfect Christmas nail-polish you can ever wish for. The color is just beyond pretty and! it even has some sparkles in it!

The only downside about this is that it is pretty hard to get off your nails! 😦

That’s all for now folks,

see you soon (hopefully!),

Matte Hatter

Hi guys, here I am again, Yes I’m still alive and kickin’ but I’ve been so busy my blog hasn’t been getting the attention it actually deserves!

I’m so happy, today I finally found the one nail polish I absolutely had to have!

After seeing this picture about a month ago my quest for the ultimate matte black nail polish started!

 

 

Finally today is the day where I can proudly show you guys my very own matte black nails ( I still have to work on getting that french manicure right 😉 ):

 

I was a bit hesitant when I actually was standing in the drugstore with this Bourjois So Matt nail polish in my hands, because I thought it was going to be yet another promising product with little or no results. However I was (luckily) proven wrong this time! I absolutely love the way it makes my oh so shiny Licorice by Essie look. Don’t you?

 

Now let’s move on to some more professional pictures…

 

 

 

Shopping!

Since I had a day off yesterday, I couldn’t resist to the attraction of shopping, so that’s what I did!

This time I decided to stay close to home and go to Hasselt instead of my beloved Antwerp.

Yet again I managed to find a few things, which you can all admire in my latest Youtube Video which is uploading right now! (I’ll post the link asap!)

Let’s dip dye some more!

Believe it or not but the dip dying trend really made it’s way through our entire life!

A few days ago I was searching the web for some Converse All Stars and guess what I found:

After seeing hair and clothing being covered in this trendy color scheme, shoes and (yes you’re reading this right) dogs couldn’t be forgotten!

Both Emma Watson and Alessia Ambrosio couldn’t resist the trend!

Now let’s get back to “normal” and have a look at these fabulous hairstyles
