What We Wear Wednesday: Moroccon dreaming

So I have been back from my last holiday for almost a month now (no worries though, the next one is already planned), and I'm only getting around to posting pictures about it now. Busy, much? After my holiday marathon and the obligatory attendances at several festivals (Graspop, Rock Werchter...), the time has come to get some serious work done. Luckily (sadly?), the weather gods have finally given in to summer! 

On this particular last holiday I went to Taghazout, near Agadir in Morocco. I had never visited a muslim country, and I have to say it was sooo much better than expected. We mainly went there to surf the shit out of those waves (talking big, you know how I roll) and it was GREAT! I really made some good progress, the weather was hot hot hot and we met some great, super funny people along the road. Win-win-win situation! Oh, and I jumped (a little) cliff, booya. First picture you see me jumping, last one you see me landing aka a big splash of hair and arms. 

Outfit-wise not much to tell you, I practically lived in my bikinis/wetsuit and every morning I found myself reaching again for denim shorts and a simple shirt (which is actually my go to summer gear on days I don't have to work). HOWEVER! I did manage to wear some real clothes every once in a while. I present you exhibit A: 

Dress: Stradivarius - Sandals: Sac d'Anvers - Backpack, bracelet: souks Marrakech - Denim shirt: Men's department H&M - Hat: H&M - Necklace: vintage - Sunglasses: Ebay

The dress is one of my Stradivarius buys from Porto and the backpack is a heavily bargained item that I bought in the souks in Marrakech. Can you believe the shirt was only 5 euros in the men's department of H&M? Big fat mental high five to myself. 

So do you guys have any holidays planned? Or festivals you're attending? And for the surfers out there, any good spots that are not too far away from Belgium that I should visit? The surf vibe is buzzing yet again. 

I'll leave you guys with one very breathtaking view of the ocean from our apartment and one very funny picture of a wave approaching me. 

What We Wear Wednesday: Porto buys

Yes, it's Porto again. Sue us. We've spent last Friday dancing in the rain, which was fun, but I'm craving some sunshine here! Sunshine! Cocktails! Swimming! Dresses! So it's time for some reminiscing.

During our first day in Porto, we went shopping. It was hard not to as our apartment was only a couple of streets away from the big shopping street. And there I met Stradivarius. It was love at first sight, like head over heels, and I've been thinking about him every day since I got back. He totally ignored my budget and left me broke to the penny, but oh my I couldn't care less. The things I got in return are totally worth my madness! I swear to God that we hadn't been drinking Caipirinhas beforehand but we acted like wild animals in that store.

This dress and the bag are some of my buys at Stradivarius. Strapless, tie-dye, white. I really do not need to say more, do I? Yes, it occurs to me also that my skirt from my previous post kind of resembles this dress, as it's also light blue and tie-dye'ish. So what, it's my thing now. The zipper on the back does tend to open, without me wanting that. But nothing a little hook can't fix. Thank you Natalie for 'hooking me up' each day!

Because of all that dancing in the rain all night last Friday, I'm stuck with a throat infection. So I'm going to leave you with this and a promise to write a more coherent story next time.
