We Wear: Hiking outfit


Well allright, a 6km walk isn't REALLY a hike but more like a fun trip. I didn't see myself as one of those people who goes for a walk on a Sunday, but the alcohol and abundance of food, which are an obligation during the holidays, made us crave for some exercise and fresh air. Since we weren't really hiking hiking, I thought of my suede Vans as the perfect walking shoes. They got a little muddy but did a great job.

You know what's weird? I'm not wearing my leopard coat! A couple of weeks ago I felt it was time for me to check out the SheInside webshop. I don't know why I had never visited it before so it was time for a change. I bought not only this magnificent coat but also overknee suede boots, a shirt/dress and two pairs of earrings which will all find their way to the blog eventually. I have to admit that our indian winter does come in handy as this coat isn't really subzero-proof. Did "subzero" remind anyone else of Mortal Kombat?

Anyway, the walk was great and I love this outfit. Comfy, walky with a touch of lipstick. My cup of tea!

We Wear: Wedding attire


Ahhh weddings, if not for the food, I love attending them because they provide the perfect occasion for me to dress up and go all the way. Already over a month ago (where did *time* go?), I was invited to the wedding of one of my childhood friends who I've known since I was still getting my Barbie doll named Jessica in all kinds of trouble ranging from graffiti spraying to skipping class. Merely thinking about how we used to spend over a day just dividing up all the garments, tiny shoes, furniture, cars... before we could even think about really playing with our expanded Barbie set just makes me long for those days (where did *time* go²). Or you know, makes me want to own a house just like my Barbie did: Hell, who doesn't want a pink mansion? 




I saw this dress online over at Sheinside (now Shein) and just knew I had to click it home. Only afterwards I realised it would be absolutely perfect to wear to my friend's wedding. The quality with these budget websites is always tricky though, so I wasn't entirely sure how it would end up. But the beauty of it is that for only 30 euros, you can never make too big of a mistake. I unpacked it and it was absolutely gorgeous! Although I have to admit that it seemed to be tailored for a giant as it was to long for me with my 1.75 meters in high heels.  No worries, thanks to my grandma that got dealt with the appropriate way. 




This dress also sparked my omnipresent mermaid gene once more and I thus wanted mermaid hair. I brought in my sister who out of the blue made this fishtail braid, therefore completing my transformation. I am really satisfied with how everything turned out, the wedding was awesome with a lot of dancing and gin tonics and my friend looked absolutely stunning. Now, can someone please invite me to a fancy party so I can wear this stunner once more? That would be great. 

PS: Due to circumstances as in me forgetting to bring my camera, these pictures were taken with my phone which is getting crappier by the minute.

Bands that will be performing at Pukkelpop
Currently craving for (fashion wise or other):
Uhm, better weather?!

What We Wear Wednesday: Galaxy


The quest to finding the perfect galaxy printed leggings was not easy, but I can finally announce that I did succeed. After browsing through numerous online shops, checking out stores both here and in the US and not finding that perfect pair of leggings, that is. I wanted it to be mainly pink, not too pricey and a real BOOM galaxy print. Doesn't sound that hard, but it certainly proved to be a hard job. I ended up ordering it on She Inside, a website that offers GREAT clothes and I even got a discount, so yay! Another plus, the leggings are made of the best fabric ever and when stroking my own legs (everybody does it), it feels like petting a horse, so soft!

When I first took the leggings out for a spin, I could literally hear people going all like 'OMG, those leggings... buzz... buzzz, leggings!' There was even some finger pointing involved, if I remember correctly. Naturally I just pretended that everybody loved it, because what's not to love, right?! Anyway, because the leggings are quite the eye-catcher, I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple and tried to updress it a little bit by adding the black blazer for that effortless casual look.  


I'm going to stop yapping now, because in a few hours we'll be heading to Porto, Portugal for some serious sun and/or cocktail overdosing. I'm SO READY for it, screw you Belgium-where-the-sun-never-shines. I'm exaggerating; enthusiasm tends to make that happen. TATA!
