We Wear: Different.

 Sweater: Titi and the German Kid - Dress as skirt and tights: H&M - Sneakers: Vans - Coat (see below): NastyGal

As you may know or may not know, I once studied photography. I wouldn't exactly make that same choice again but I did enjoy my time as a photography student. We also had a "fashion" assignment and I remember asking my dear Karolien to be my model. (If anyone is interested in actually seeing those photos, I could make a post about it, just shout!) This all has been seven years ago already - auwtsj.

Times haven't changed that much: people still study photography and that same assignment still exists. And that's how I got asked via a friend of mine to co-model with him for a girl with that very same fashion photography assignment. I didn't have to think twice, I know it can be annoying to find a model for your shoots so there.

There were only two conditions: I had to choose my own outfits (yes please) and I had to look angry or absent. Two things I'm rather good at. So here are the results! If you want to check out some of her other work, go visit her website!

No mom I don't smoke, it was for the sake of the photography. Feeling like trailer trash is fun.

Leather Jacket, skinnies: H&M - Body, headband: Forever21 - Sneakers: Nike Air Max (Footlocker)

Crop Top and pants: H&M - Necklace: Market in Porto

The look on my face tells me I wasn't too sure 'bout that crop top.

We Wear: Dream coat

As a true Leopardanian, a leopard coat just could not keep missing in my closet. However, I did not want a furry one (got that already) or a short one, and the color needed to be just right. You understand it was not an easy assignment, but I finally came across the perfect one. The impeccable reincarnation of the classical versus edgy combination. Although I must say I wasn't completely convinced about the color when I clicked it home, it has proven to be every inch my dream coat. And that moment when you finally lay your hands on a much searched for coat, just bliss. Also loving my new kicks and so comfortable!

On a completely different note, on this exact moment I'm hitting the awesome sunny slopes in Val Thorens, yihaa! Have a nice week!

We Wear: Newbies

 Faux leather jacket, skinny jeans: H&M - Top: Zara - Sneakers: Vans - Bag: Urban Outfitters - Angry bitch face: my own

A very simple outfit today consisting almost entirely of all new items. Last weekend has been very busy and this was the outfit I wore to spend a whole day celebrating our birthday girl Eline. We enjoyed a scrumptious cava-brunch and afterwards headed to Maastricht for some serious shopping. I only bought food-related stuff. I have a growing obsession about (healthy) food and I can't go shopping without returning with another healthy cookbook or weird ingredient "to add to my granola". Even at Sissy Boy I bought a Chai tea herbal mix (partly because of the uttermost beautiful packaging). But I must add I also fell in love with a dress and numerous pieces of tableware (table -> food). I seriously don't know what has gotten into me.

But since this is a fashion blog, I'll also tell something about the clothes. As you can see, I finally bought myself a new (faux) leather jacket. I never owned a biker model before and thought that needed to change. Et voila. The blouse is a birthday-coupon well spent at Zara. I love the simplicity of the cut with the colorful print. I really do like very simple outfits however I also want to dress up like a creamy sundae for summer. You've already seen my new Vans in my previous outfit and I've been wearing them ever since. I love me a good pair of basic sneakers. And when in Dublin I figured I deserved a new bag. I've been carrying around my Zara one for ages now (a year) and it was time for a replacement. As for bags, I also tend to grab all black ones. Maybe this is a tendency I need to break, to try and spice things up a little. Or maybe my choice of outfits need to bring balance to the chaos that is my mind. I don't know, maybe I'm just tired or philosophic, but I didn't always dress this "goody-goody" and I refuse to say that I grew up because I most definitely didn't.

So how do you guys feel about homemade peanut butter?

We wear: White on white

It has happened: After all those years shaking my head at the sight of Lies reaching for ANOTHER white purse, white pair of shoes, white earrings, white whatevers, I too have caught the disease. It may be due to the incredible weather we've been experiencing these past weeks, but I've been neglecting my pitch black garments - well, kind of - and instead reaching for those few completely white items. I even became obsessed with finding the perfect, completely Tipp-Ex alike white nail polish, a mission that I did succeed in by the way (Only You White French by Ici Paris XL to the rescue!). Also, white jelly sandals are now hopefully on their way to my doorstep. 

PS: You may be mistaken, but I'm not wearing white socks in these pictures. Just the normal tone of my skin, folks. No worries, I'm already soaking in all the sun I can!

We Wear: Dublin Tourist

I love travelling. Seeing the world, indulging in foreign food, drinks and habits and just wander around with big eyes and soak up everything you see. So that's what I did when I went to Dublin last week. We arrived in the evening and after we dropped our things at the hotel (with a verrrry cute receptionist guy, hot damn) we went for our first Guinness. Of course Guinness, or what did you expect. Pubs in Ireland do tend to close early so we were friendly asked to leave after that very first pint. We crossed the Liffey and explored the city some more, stumbling upon another pub with a lot of people outside. We hesitantly went inside but I immediately felt at ease: a guy with a guitar singing some songs, a lot of loud (and probably drunk) Irish people and glass scattered on the floor. Definitely my kind of scene. We ordered some more Guinness and easily blended in with the crowd.

After a couple of rounds, some light dancing and getting rid of one annoying and very drunk dude - they come with every country -  we decided to hit the sack. The tone was set, the love for Dublin was growing. (Actually that love started immediately at the airport where I discovered a hot iron in the ladies room. I felt like Dublin really understood me - and others with difficult hair.)

I didn't take many outfit pictures I'm sorry, but you'll get the idea. I wore the same kind of outfit during our two day stay. I had my new leather jacket with me but it was too damn cold and windy so I stuck with my precious leopard coat.

Leopard coat, cardigan, shirt, skinnies: H&M - Sneakers: Vans - Sunglasses: ModCloth - Bag, scarf: Zara

Sorry for the I-hung-myself-in-my-scarf-look.

I want these tubes in my house / loft / apartment

Obligatory walking selfie.

Can you guess what's in the bag?

And here's a sneak peek of some new items, curious yet?

Have any of you ever visited Dublin? Did you like it as much as I did?

We Wear: Being nice is cool

Let's spread some love on this nice, sunshiny day, shall we? And what better way to do so than with the always-by-my-side tote bag staple? Exactly. The rest of the outfit entirely consists of items that made an appearance on the blog before, I seem to reach for them time after time again. I guess you could say I'm in desperate need of some new inhabitants of my closet (spoiler alert: I'm doing a great job at prepping for spring and summer). Nevertheless, I think that scarf/blanked might just be my best winter buy. 

Coat: my mom's - Jeggings: Pull & Bear - Scarf: Zara - Tartan shirt: Primark - Boots: Doc Martens - Beanie: Choies - Tote bag: Titi + The German Kid

I realized just the other day that I am in fact a true fan of the weather we've been experiencing lately. A slow transition from winter to spring, one day running around bare-ankled hiding my face behind sunglasses, and the other day snuggling up in that cozy knit I cannot seem to part with. Something we Belgians entirely missed last year: In the blink of an eye, we went from snow to heat wave, or at least in my mind.
