New patterns, good patterns

Prints, prints and prints. That’s all I have to say for today… No, I’m just kidding of course.

But I do have some print-related news for you. A little birdie told me that for S/S13 we will be covered in porcelain. Yes, you’re reading that right. Porcelain. It may remind you of your granny but not after you see these beautiful pieces.

Just Cavalli and Rebecca Minkoff are two of the designers that enchanted the runway with their breakable pattern. The blue and white are perfect fit for next summer, which I’m already longing for. Can’t you just imagine wearing a pretty blouse or dress like this during a sizzling spring? I know I can.

Would you guys rock this pattern? Or just leave it up to your grandmother to play with the porcelain?

Beautiful secrets

You are one lucky reader today because I decided to give you a sneak-peek into my beauty rituals during the summer. These products will protect you, repair some damage and most of all make you smell delightful.

 Eau Ravissante – L’Occitane

This Eau de Cologne is perfect for a hot summer day, like the past few days. You can use this flower water on your whole body. It has a strong female and floral scent. You will feel fresh and gorgeous.

Cacao shower cream – Ziaja

I picked up this wonderful shower cream in Croatia during my holiday there in the Konzum. It has a great texture but most of all I like the kind of caramel candy scent it leaves behind. It will soften your skin, so that deserves some points as well. I already regret not taking more tubes back home – so dear friends of mine that are travelling to Croatia, you know how to please me!

Mattifying cream – Essence

I use this pink day cream under my foundation because it will stop some of my glowing skin. Of course, during extremely hot days, nothing will save you!

Hair shampoo Sun – Wella

This shampoo has been by my side every day after sunbathing. It tries to repair the damage done to your fabulous hair by the sun. Sadly you can only buy it in a hairdresser salon, so you can imagine it comes at a higher price than your normal shampoo.

Mythic Oil – L’Oreal

It seems like a bad plan to spray oil into your hair, but it works! It makes sure that my hair doesn’t dry out completely. But I would suggest not using it when you just did your whole hair because it tends to make your hair kind of greasy. I normally apply it before I go to bed and know I have to do my hair the next morning.

Body Cream – Rituals

If you have ever used products of Rituals before, you know they are great! This body cream really nurtures your skin and smells like something you never smelled before but in a good way. And as we all know, it is important to hydrate your skin during the summer to make sure your tan will stay longer. So start smearing!

Shimmer – Essence

This palette of different tones of gold is perfect for blondes. I mostly use it as a blush but you can also use it on your eyes and the rest of your body if you want to shimmer like a disco ball.

So there you go, my beauty secrets revealed. What are your beauty essentials this season?

Sunlight hitting my eyes

The weather has been good to us lately! Everyone is feeling the summer vibe that leads to a lot of BBQ’s, swimming, chilling and tanning. No complaints here! I love all things summer.

Yesterday a couple of girlfriends and I decided to take a mini-roadtrip to the sea. The ultimate chilling experience! We gossiped, tanned, had some drinks and drove back home totally ‘zen’. I can recommend it to everyone who might be experiencing some – does this even exist? – Summer stress.

Now indulge some pictures of the summer of my life!

Summer sales: the aftermath

Summer sales have come to an end – although there are still a lot of stores that have a pile of bargains laying there, waiting for you to be bought. I decided to put all my sales items together the other day and was kind of surprised of the amount of items I purchased. I didn’t really go on a whole day shopping spree during the July sales but managed to buy one item – or maybe two – at a time.

Still, I love all these items and have already worn them all at least once. So, no real shame there! Yay!

But of course everyone has their favourites and so do I. Here is my top 3 of this year’s Summer sales.

1. The tribal necklace

This beauty was a real bargain as it was 70% off! I found it at Zara after I had seen it already some weeks ago on a colleague at Elle. I loved this piece of jewellery the minute I saw it so my heart skipped a beat when I spotted it at Zara.

2. The Chanel-look-a-like jacket

This creamy jacket has it all! You can wear with almost anything and it will make you look elegant and sophisticated. Big up for Zara again! J

3. Crazy print pants

When my mom saw me in these pants, she wasn’t too excited at first. But needless to say I adored it. I love prints and especially this 90’s feel on these pants. I scored this piece at Urban Outfitters in Brussels for 50% off. We love the 90’s!

Dress to BBQ

Nothing screams summer like a good BBQ with friends. Last night it was that time of the year. Food, friends and some drinks later you have got yourself a great party. Of course this comes with some preparations that are necessary to ensure a memorable night.

For a BBQ you can almost go any direction in choosing an outfit. So hurray for the ones who like dressing up or if you just prefer a more casual style, that’s cool as well. I choose a more casual outfit because of the heat yesterday and the chance to finally wear some of my summer clothes. In Belgium we can count the days that this is possible on our two hands! So you’re a lucky bastard if you get to wear your short shorts and tank tops more than once a year. So I went for a jumpsuit with some sandals and a cool pair of sunglasses to top it off. 

Enjoy some pictures of yesterday evening down here. Are you up for a BBQ?
