Valentine's Day…

Yup, that dreadful day was yesterday…being a single is not easy during that time, but surprisingly I got away without any hurt feelings or a need to punch someone in the face xD It turned out to be a day like every other day too; I was "working" with my friends on our "future" video, that we had already more or less long planned to shoot. I won't give away what it's all about; maybe one day you'll see for yourself =) But because I knew exactly that it was Valentine's Day (my bestie "pretended" to not know what is happening in the world ;)), I wanted to dress to look the part and so here you have it, my V-Day inspired outfit^^

Heart Sweater: Divided by H&M

Nude Platform shoes: New Look

Rest: H&M

Earrings (& Piercings) : six

I hope that you all had a very nice and lovely Valentine's Day, maybe even in the arms of your love and if not, at least made it throughout the day without a "doom & gloom" mood because of all the chocolatey-rosey-heartshaped-happiness xD

See you later, alligator. x]

the caged bird?

Long time no see xD I've been sick for quite some time now, more precisely: I had a flu. Adding to this I had my end of semester exams and I'm in my 1 month vacation, but so far I couldn't profit from it -.- So here I am, on my way to being healthy again (especially my lungs need to get fit again), with an outfit post for you =)

Nude (rose) Jumper: H&M (some years ago)

Black Skinny Jeans: H&M

Nude Platform Shoes: New Look

Jewels: six

I don't know exactly how to explain this, but the jumper has a nice shape, it slightly looks like a skater dress but at the same time it doesn't xD I found it in the back of my wardrobe after searching for a warm jumper since we have around -10°C here! *freezing* I haven't worn it in ages and I have the same one in grey too^^ Somehow I never realized that I actually like them or I just wore them in a way I didn't really like it, who knows…=)

See you later, alligator. x]

P.S: I lost my "picture corner"…So there's a "new" background and my sister is now my photographer^^ *Thanks Rachel ;)*

just a little green, like the color in the spring…=)

Online shopping, where would I be without you?! Certainly not owning this dress xD I love this dress! I love it so much, that I even got it in black, but I love it less in black xD (I will show it to you soon^^) The color was the very first reason why I really wanted to get it! This green, I don't even know the name of it, I simply love it: it's bright, it's bold and it's unusual xD and that's exactly what I like^^ The cut of the dress is something I like too, but I should have got it in a smaller size, to show it off better. "Send it back" I hear you say? Sending stuff back has always been a dread for me, so no, I will live with this^^ Anyways, people seem to like it because I got some lovely comments about it, so yeah…x) It's a very good "everyday dress", especially for "lazy" days where you just have no inspiration!=)

I have like so no clue what my hair is doing there on the left xD

Green Knitted Dress: Asos

Scarf: H&M

Owl Necklace: gift from Mavis

Tights: I don't know

Boots: Closer

Watch: Ice Watch by swatch

I wore this outfit to university on the last day of the winter semester. It was a day of mixed feelings…First, I was excited to go because there were some "Christmas Lectures" I wanted to attend, but then in the morning, I didn't feel so good after all and was in a "blah -.-" mood, thinking of all the people I got to know throughout this semester who were here just for 1 Erasmus/Abroad semester…It hit me that we won't have classes together next semester and that I probably will never see them again since they live so far away; it made me a bit sad. I went after all, was too late for any class there was, but I had my friends who made a great job to cheer me up again xD So yeah…=)

See you later, alligator. x]

one for the money, two for the show…x)

I have a black cardigan I wear quite often these last days, so here is the same cardigan worn in 2 different outfits x) The cardigan has very loose sleeves and in general it is sooo comfy, also, it is easy to dress it up or down =) (PLEASE IGNORE my facial expressions xD)

☃ I'll be home for Christmas… ☃

I had a very nice and lovely Christmas at home with my family =) I forgot to load my camera's battery in advance, so I don't have any fancy pictures =( But I was able to take some in the evening of what I wore…x)

The story behind the dress: I went to H&M. I saw it. I loved it. I tried it (and took this picture). It was awesome, but there was only one dress left: one size smaller than mine with a broken zipper. I was disappointed. I wanted the dress! On Christmas Eve (Dec. 24th) I did my last round of shopping and I went to H&M to fetch my sisters a dress and I browsed through the women's clothes and there it was! My size, without a broken zipper, without anything flaw and I bought that baby!xD Of course I had to wear it on Christmas!xD

Black Glitter Bolero Jacket: H&M (years ago)

Black Tank Top (b/c of the way the dress is cut): H&M

Black Flower Dress: Conscious Collection by H&M

Glitter Flats: H&M

Sorry of how the pictures look, Blogger thinks it funny to mess around with my pictures and I am certainly not amused…-.-' Tried several times to re-upload them, but they look even worse, so I surrendered…don't know what is happening here…o_O

hummingbirds/honey suckers. xD

I love these little birds who look like as if they are just hanging in the air. They colorful and tiny and constantly moving, which, all 3, reminds me a bit of myself xD Now on to the pictures…

WARNING: I don't know what's wrong with my lightning, I need to fix this…o_O

Top: New Look

Nude Tank Top (underneath): H&M

Black Skinnies: H&M

Shoes (which you can't see): New Look

Watch: Ice 

I got this top during my last trip to Bruges and like the hummingbirds and the cut; it's so loose and wide and I prefer clothes which aren't tight on your body, but give and leave you some space to breath^^ Actually, before I saw this top, I had in my to make a hummingbird shirt myself, so either way, I would now possess a Honey sucker shirt xD

The wizard and I.

It wasn't intended, it just happened! I wore this to uni yesterday and when I was dressed and was looking in the mirror, all I saw was a Hogwarts student or a witch out of Wicked…I like it!^^ At uni, my Bestie Leslie and my friend Lilian asked if I was aware of the fact that I look like a Hogwarts student, by then I knew it xD Seems like I can't let Harry Potter go so easily…*sob*

Glasses: Jenyfer

Black oversize jacket: H&M

Blue Shirt: H&M

Bow: Asos

Black Pocket Skirt: H&M

Peacock Feather Tights: H&M

Some DIY stuff xD

Yup, you read right. Here are 2 things (of one I am kind of proud, it's on you to find out which one) that I managed to do myself xD To clear this right from the start, it's not the first time, but before I just don't know what happened why I didn't take some pictures…o_O
Anyways, this used to be a plain white t-shirt for MAN (I wanted something more loose/wide) and I cut out the neckline to sew one that I like better. (btw, my sewing skills are not the best. at all.)

"Sometin' You Might Like" (you can still see the pencil lines)

on the back (neck hight)

This is one of many t-shirts I did and it took me quite some time…I worked like about a week on this one and it's still not completely done (it still needs ironing to fix the color and to be washed to erase the pencil lines) so that I can wear it. It's a bit of a "tribute" to my favorite band Puggy because "Something You Might Like" is the title of their current album and one of their songs and the sentence itself is self-explanatory *hint to the gentlemen ;)* so yeah…

I used C. Kreul Javana fabric paint (bought it at a crafts shop for around €4 each) in 'grey' (intended was black, but it was sold out) and 'ruby red'. The pen you see is a textile marker from Pilot in 'black' (around €3). If in any further time you want me to explain how I do "all that", let me know, I'll try to document my next t-shirt then x) I will do some outfit posts as soon as the shirt is ready to be worn xD

And the next one…Ladybird/-bug nails xD

I should have been doing a bit of a 'retouche' on the nails, now that I see my flaws xD

My sister bought this 'Duo Nail Polish' from H&M yesterday and I volunteered to try it. Not being a big fan of pink, I tried red, which is the 1st time in my life ever that I am wearing red nail polish! And I found out why…I don't like it that much…=/ This red (on its own) is a bit to light for my taste, but I didn't want to waste it, so I grabbed my 'So Laque! Ultra Shine 30 Noir de Chine' nail polish by Bourjois and just put some dots on the red polish to see what it looks like…and tada! doing it on the 2 hands and here we are with the ladybird/-bug nails xD

P.S: My Giveaway is still running, so feel free to enter it here!xD

Animal print.

Nail polish: "27 No More Drama" by essence & go

These shorts are the only item I possess with something close to animal print xD The sun decided to show itself today after more than a month of RAIN x_X This year, we really don't have much luck with the weather and I miss my beloved sun so much that I might have a little winter depression if I don't get my dose soon…xD Anyways, since it was ok outside I decided to get my shorts out of the wardrobe and get myself outside in the garden and take some pics there…=) Also, today I'm free from work and I had an extra long weekend, where I did mostly sleeping and watching movies. Tomorrow, back to work for another week and then I'm done for this summer x)

Hat: New Yorker

Black oversize T-shirt: H&M

P.S: My facial expression is a disaster, sorry about that xD

Lace butterfly fly away (:

This is what I wore last Saturday =) I went shopping with my Mom and my 3 sisters because my 10year old sister went on Monday with her class on a 3-day-trip to a castle and she still needed some stuff. It's strange how I feel that there is someone missing although I have 11 siblings…but she will be back on Wednesday, so it's ok…=) Anyways, here is what I wore:

Lace Bolero: New Look

Grey T-shirt: H&M

Black Carrot pants: H&M

♪♫ Fête de la Musique '11 in Dudetown ♫♪

Yup, outdoor festivals arrived and even my town was hit by one!xD Here is what I wore to exams and because of an impromptu decision I didn't change for the festival in my town:

Hat: New Yorker

(Fake) Leather Jacket: New Yorker

Stripy Sweatshirt: H&M

Black Skinny Jeans: Vero Moda

Black Sneakers: H&M

Giraffe Necklace: six

'Fête de la Musique' (means: Feast of the Music) was Saturday 18th and it is one of the biggest festivals/feasts that my town and the Dudetown's Fête de la Musique is the most popular one because we usually have the best bands playing!xD First I didn't really want to go because of my exams on Monday and Tuesday, but I AM SO GLAD I CHANGED MY MIND afterwards!x) Puggy, one of my favorite bands, played and I really like their music and after listening to them while studying, I thought "why not?!" and called my cousin to say that I'll join her. It was THE BEST concert I have been to so far! We stood in the 3rd row and because of some people moving, we stood in the second row pretty much on the left but in general had a good view to the stage. I could ramble on about how great they were and are and everything but to make it short: I simply love Puggy's music and them!♥

 

One of my favorite songs from Puggy from the album 'Something you might like': "How I Needed You"
