We love: Batoko


Batoko



My mailbox is bursting out of its seams with the reoccurring same message over and over  flashing on my screen: IT'S BLACK FRIDAY, IT'S BLACK FRIDAY! Although totally not a big deal or even a thing here in Belgium, purchasing things and subscribing to American websites makes it a more than familiar phenomenon. Yep, the day after Thanksgiving is a safe guarantee for bargains all over the web, which is why I choose to talk about a brand I absolutely love: Batoko. It's fun and slightly weird, just as all the good things in life should be. Check it out below for yourselves or on their website of course, but I'm already an enthusiastic follower since a few months. I mean, I was more than sold the moment I spotted a watermelon crop top, that's all it takes really. 

If you'll excuse me now, I have to go order some stuff!

We Want: White kicks

With the holidays and January (aka most depressing month in the history of mankind - no, I do not have a tendency to dramatize) long behind us, I feel February is just launching us home straight to - dare I say it - spring. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been living with my head in the sand, I do realize it is BIT(ch)ING cold. But my experience tells me that spring will arrive sooner than you might think. Add with that a little bit wishful thinking, et voilĂ , you'll comprehend the topic of today's blog post.


One of the most important things in life (you know, superficial life, aside from peace, solidarity, the environment, equality...) are shoes. Especially when slowly sliding into early spring mode, these shoes primarily need to be warm enough whilst blending in with your spring wardrobe. Let me let you in on a secret, I think I have found this white raven (pun intended) amongst shoes: the white sneaker. Yes, it has already been making quite a few impressive appearances, but I predict that no self-respecting girl (or boy for that matter) will be able to live without these precious the upcoming months. They are the perfect transitional shoe from winter to spring, since you can already start wearing them as of now (at least when it's not snowing and your feet don't freeze like mine do when the temperature drops). Take a look at some stunners I'm thinking about purchasing. 

Sneakers
                       Reebok, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Adidas                                         Nike, Adidas, Adidas, Converse, Nike


And if that doesn't make you want to run to the website of Zalando and click some of these babies home, then you will most certainly feel this urge when browsing through these inspirational pictures below.

What do you think?

We Want: Outfit inspiration

Again I failed to make outfit pictures this week. I blame the wintery season and my procrastinating habbits on Sunday. I do have some new items I want to show you, so I made a collage on Polyvore with said items and stuff I still want.

Here's set number one:


Pastel Winter


River Island fake fur coat
€125 - riverisland.com


Zee Gee Why stretchy jeans
€53 - asos.com


Vans floral print sneaker
€55 - nordstrom.com


Artful Blossom Drops - anthropologie.eu
€16 - anthropologie.eu






The earrings, My Little Pony Shirt and Vans are actually mine and I was thinking how I could wear them all together. A pastel winter outfit came to mind. I find my dear black skinnies to harsh on these pastel Vans so I opted for a softer grey, mom jeans from Asos. I am seriously thinking about buying these jeans as my other pairs of jeans from Asos fit like a glove.  And I need a new coat this winter. I really love this white furry one on this outfit, but I'm not sure I'm going to wear it enough. Therefore I don't know yet if I'm actually going to buy it (probably yes).


And here's number two:


Christmas Attire


Jumpers sweater
€22 - romwe.com


Asos top
€28 - asos.com


ASOS fake fur coat
€105 - asos.com



ASOS ribbed beanie hat
€13 - asos.com


ASOS oversized scarve
€23 - asos.com





I am 100% in Christmas-mood. The search for the perfect Christmassy sweater was harder as I anticipated but then Instagram showed me this pretty Romwe piece. It's not really Christmas as it shows Little Red Riding Hood, but it has snowflakes and the right colors so I'm satisfied. I chose the same pants to go with this outfit because I have a feeling I will be buying them soon and will be wearing them non-stop. I have to work the 24th of December and I totally see me wearing a sort of outfit like this to work, you know to spread the Christmas joy.

Next time I promise you I will take outfit pictures again! Making collages like this actually takes up more of my time. :D Are you guys looking forward to Christmas as much as I do?

We Wear: '90s Vibes


Ah yes, the weather has gotten to the point where I can finally fully express my inner '90s summer child. Considering it had me dreaming and feeling all bubbly with inspiration already in February, you can imagine that those 'blah-what-should-I-wear-I-hate-my-entire-wardrobe' days have vanished (for now). Also, I've been busier than a mosquito at a nudist colony, so not having to think at all about my outfits in the morning does make getting everywhere in time just that tad easier. Expect a lot more where this came from! 

An item I'm pretty sure you'll be getting sick and tired of in the next few months (years?) is this denim jacket right here. I was on the lookout for that perfect oversized acid denim jacket and when I stumbled upon this one, I even took it home with me in a few sizes bigger. Bigger AND bolder. ("Did she really just quote 2 Fabiola?" - Yeah, she sure did. / "What the effing hell is a 2 Fabiola?" - A Belgian '90s Eurodance band, check it).   


 Currently listening to:
Well, naturally I had to reminiscence about my youth and put 2 Fabiola on.
Currently craving for (fashion wise or other):
MORECROPTOPS (you'll see soon enough!).

Denim jacket, bag: Primark - Choker: Claire's - Dress, hat: H&M - Boots: Doc Martens

We Are Inspired: SS14 Mood board

With the end of February in sight and the sun popping up every now and then, yours truly is slowly starting to think about spring and summer. Over the past couple of weeks, I started pinning like crazy and thought I'd share some of my spring/summer mood board with you guys. Key words are 90's, denim, flowers, pink, dark colors, bare legs, chunky shoes, hats, sneakers... 

May you feel as inspired as I'm feeling on this particular lovely Sunday afternoon!
Oh, and spring, will you hurry up already? Thanks!  



























Enjoy your Sunday!

I laughed so hard with this picture of Full House's Deejay.
