Dolce far niente

I’m glad to say: Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore! I’m staying in Italia for the moment, in Dimaro. Up ‘till now I’ve visited Trento and Bolzano, some typical Northern cities. The sun was on our side today so we had breakfast outside before taking a dive in the pool! The good life…

Now, when I think of Italy, I immediately crave some Kiko! If you don’t know this make-up store, shame on you! If you do, you’ll know how great – and cheap – it is. I managed to squeeze in some time for Kiko in alternation with some churches and other cultural activities – read sitting on a terrace and having some Spritz.

Signing out now with some pictures of our adventures here!

Crazy pants

This Friday I met up with a friend from Brussels, mainly to do some catching up – read updating her on my tales of the whole summer – but also to go to a stock sale of Beauty Queen in Ghent. So she hopped on my train to Ghent and after getting lost several times, we found our way to the Braempoortgallerij where we scored some nice beauty stuff. I bought a compact powder from Pop, some grooming cream from Bumble & Bumble, a nail lacquer from Ciaté – they were only 2,5€ so I’m already regretting not taking home more of them – and some body butter. Good times! After this we strolled around the city a bit and I have to say I was really surprised by the coolness of Ghent. A lot of fashionista’s and hipsters hanging out there!

My outfit of the day consisted out of the crazy print pants, a simple black blouse and my lovely pink allstars. Comfort above all!

Enjoy some snapshots of the day right here!

P.S.: I’m leaving for Italy today but I’ll try to squeeze in some blogging time there as well so you can see me loving Italia.

Growing up

As some of you might already know, I’m leaving for London very very soon. Starting a new adventure and discovering a whole new culture *excited*! I got accepted to attend the London College of Fashion, which is a part of the University of the Arts in London. I will be studying Fashion and Lifestyle Journalism with some exceptional fellow students from all over the world.

In a few days I’m leaving for a last holiday to Italy and after that, I’ll be house hunting in one of the Fashion Capitals of the world. Nice detail: it will be London Fashion Week during my short stay there! I will definitely try to spot some celebs or fashionable people for you guys.

Either way, I’m super excited to start this new period of my life. Besides all the things I will be learning throughout this experience, I’m also very much intrigued by the London Fashion scène which I will be living in 24/7. London boys and girls have a very specific style, which is very different from the Belgian one. They will surely inspire me to take a step out of my comfort zone and try something new. The London uniform to me is: a jeans short, loose T-shirt and creepers. Their hair is preferably dyed ombré or has some extravagant colour.

Curious about what will happen to me during my stay in London? Then stay tuned and follow me on Twitter (Karin_Cuppens) and Instagram (karinc90) for a daily update!

From the streets:

True London girl: Rita Ora. I think she is a great influence nowadays for the London girl. I love all of her styles. She can go from super casual to fancyspancy!

Tip it up

In a crazy hair mood? Then I’ve got some good news for you! I’ve tested a tutorial with which you can colour the tips of your hair – like an ombré – and still be able to wash it out after a day. Easy and budget proof!

All you need are some pastels and a hair product like leave-in conditioner or some oil. If you follow these steps you will get instant rock ‘n roll hair.

Step 1: Comb out your hair and slap in some oil. I used my Mythic Oil from L’Oreal.

Step 2: Spray some water on the tips of your hair. This will make it easier for the pastel to stay in your hair.

Step 3: Start colouring in your hair. I choose a light pink shade but you can go for any crazy colour.

I prefer to wear this hairstyle in a ponytail. It gives certain edginess to your haircut but you will have to prepared to take in some negative comments because not everyone is as cool as us!

I’m thinking about actually dying the tips of my hair in this colour and wanted to test it if it would fit me. And I have to say… I’m sold! Stay tuned for the make-over!
