NEW IN | Plastic heel

I wasn't planning on buying something in the city, but then I found these H&M transparent plastic heels for 50euros (and it was Valentines gift too myself :P ). I've wanted nice shoes with a transparent plastic heel for a long time. Ever since the designer collab of H&M with 'Maison Martin Margiela' in 2012. Unfortunately those ones were too expensive for me, I'm just a student after all. So this H&M ones are perfect replacement for it. The heel is a bit too high though, since it doesn't have a little platform in the front but it's something I can work with. Can't wait to wear them!

What do you think of these shoes?

OOTD | Going all soft blue

I should probably stop wearing the same old fake leather jacket in this weather or start using a different leather jacket. But this one is just so easy to throw on and I like the length and the amount zilver hardware of it. Anyhow, I couldn't resist buying this soft blue sweater when I saw it on the sales rack at H&M. At first I wasn't really sure about the frizziness but it suits the model of the sweater and for the price of 15 euros I couldn't resist.

I'm heading out to a 'winter food truck festival' in Binckhorst, The Hague. So I hope this outfit can keep me warm.

ootd | Tied shirt, Bomber and slip ons

H&M bomber jacket, Primark jean shirt, H&M jeans, H&M slip on shoes, Revival necklace

Hello there! Wearing my new slip ons for the second time.. which I finally broke in. My first time wearing them was awful! I couldn't walk the day after because I had blisters. I guess that is what I paid for. Wearing these platforms make me feel like going back to the 90s, so I paired it up with a knotted jean shirt and bomber jacket. How much more 90s can you be?

What do you think of this outfit?

Another reason why I'm so into the 90's again is a British tv series "My mad, fat diary" which is set in 90's as well. The show is focused on a 16year old girl with mental health and body image problems, it sounds like a heavy subject. But they approach it with a hint of humour, which makes this show awesome! I think I've cried from laughter and sadness at least once for each episode. The accents they use when talking made it very hard to understand sometimes, but after a while you get used to it and don't even remember how it was weird before. Oh! And the soundtrack is pretty awesome as well, with some old school jams! So definitely worth to check it out.

HAUL | Bandana slip-ons!

I was sitting downstairs when suddenly my dog was barking like a zombie apocalypse was about to happen. I was happy though because that means my H&M package has arrived. yay. I ordered these slip-ons with a platform and an awesome print. I love the bandana print, makes it look more badass. Can't wait to wear it with cropped jeans in the summer. The platform gives me a few inches extra and I at first was hesitant to buy platforms but the slip-on model makes it much more appealing! These were 19 euros but with a couponcode on their webshop, 15 euros.

What do you think of these slipons?

HAUL | Back to basics with H&M

 Blazer 45EUR here
Wool sweater 12EUR
Tricot top 10EUR here
Legging 10EUR here
Rings 5EUR here

I'm obsessed with blazers at the moment and I'm really digging the 'minimalist' and basic style as well. Seems more mature and you can never go wrong with some nice basics. I especially like the soft colors of the whole ensemble that I just purchased online and the cheap prices aren't bad either. I'm planning to go to Primark before working on schoolproject tomorrow to get some socks

What do you think of my haul?

I'm planning to go to Primark before working on schoolproject tomorrow to get some socks, I'll probably gonna end up with a whole lot more. So expect some more haul-posts soon!

OOTD | Green on black leather

COS blouse, Seven Sisters jeans, H&M faux leather jacket, H&M peep toe wedges, H&M hat

This week has gone by so fast! I could barely process my weekend. Oh well, have to start my week well with an edgy outfit. I'm wearing this COS blouse (which I'm totally stealing from my sister's closet) and I just love this dark green color on black. The color combination reminds me of Oliver Queen from Arrow (I know I'm obsessed) and the hat finishes it off.

Hope you had a nice weekend!

ootd | The ZARA skort

H&M jacket, ZARA skort, ZARA white sweater, H&M ankle boots

Now that 2013 is nearly ending, you have to make it count right? So when I saw 'the' Zara skort on sale I knew I had to buy it, because it was probably one of the fashion spring/summer trends of 2013. I don't even really remember who I've seen wearing it first, all I remember is that suddenly every girl wanted that skort. And I must confess I first didn't really wanted to give in but bloggers like SincerelyJules made it hard for me. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, these Zara skorts. That's probably why Zara decided to reintroduce the skort for the fall/winter collection 2013, since it was such a success. I like that instead of making it in a plain fall colour, they added the grey pinstripe model. Perfect for the fall/winter days.

Did you fell for the 'skort' trend? And what is your favourite fashion trend of 2013? Leave it in the comment box! I'd like to hear your opinion.

ootd | Lacey slip dress

H&M coat, H&M laced slip dress, Costes panty, H&M heel boots

Today I'm wearing my new H&M laced slip dress, see previous post, which I was so excited about since it was on sale. Unfortunately it was too oversized, so I buckled it and tucked the dress over it so you won't see the belt. It ended up fine but still a bit bummed. Same goes for the H&M boots I bought. I've read that it runs a size small, but it turns out now that I shouldn't have bought a size bigger.. Still wearable though but such an annoyance. Anyway, didn't realise that it would be such a H&M look but it's perfect for a small gettogether before NYE. Have a nice day!

Haul | Have a nice H&M winter proof holidays!

When was the last thing you've done something absolutely for yourself? Something you like to do in your spare time. Being an 'Industrial Design' and now also a Retail Design student, I get to do what I like ever since I was a little girl, which is to draw and sketch most of the time. I remember being in primary school that when we were allowed to do something we'd like, I'd always grab my pencil and paper ( Confession: Most of the drawings were 'Pokemon' related, I was obsessed with it ). But it's not the same anymore. I can hardly remember a time where I get to draw just for fun. So when I got out of uni and get to celebrate my winter holiday, I grabbed my tablet pen and played with it for a while. I've never drew with it before so it was nice to be doing something new and that I liked.

Anyway, I combined my drawings with the things I bought on H&M for the winter sale. I can't wait for the package to arrive! I've wanted to try the lace dress ever since I saw it on the Zara autumn/winter lookbook but am afraid that it would look too much as a nightgown.. We'll see about that. And it seems that I can't keep my hands off anything chelsea boot'ish. I probably own too much of similar boots already but this time it's real leather, so I hope it's worth it. The striped shirt would be nice to wear for some casual yet chic (when tucked in) look. The last item is a 'long black blazer' that I think would be handy for the holidays. And I got this ALL on sale! So go on to their site and I hope that you can find many great things like I did.

ootd | Preparing for new beginnings

H&M leather jacket, New Look cropped sweater, Primark midiskirt, Converse shoes, Flying Tiger tote bag

I can't believe how fast the last few months have gone by. Before you know it, it's time to celebrate christmas already and set up the fireworks. I'm excited to leave 2013 and start a new year with new beginnings and a fresh attitude. 2013 has been a real PMS bugger to me with its ups and downs and am ready to close this chapter. Anyway, I'm wearing another midi skirt today, because the weather is actually quite nice and paired it with an old cropped sweater from New Look.

ootd | Less per-suede-sion needed

Pimkie scarf, thrifted black suede skirt, H&M jacket, Nike janoski shoes

I've decided to join the gym again after such a long time, but this time with some more routine and dedication to it. I'm liking it and feeling great so far. It helps me put out my frustrations of my project for school. Less persuasion needed. The outfit I'm wearing was not intended to just go to the gym but for some brunch in the city as well. And I got to wear my thrifted black suede skirt. I've been wanting to wear a knee length (midi) skirt for quite some time now and this item certainly didn't disappoint me. I just love the suede material of it. Such a skirt is so versatile, you can either dress it up by wearing heels or dress it down with some sneakers and sweater. I can't wait to wear it more often!

*Unexpected update!*

ootd | First week of december

H&M polka sweater, Primark coat, H&M high waisted jeans, H&M ankle boots

Lot have been going on the last few days.. I dyed my hair back to one color (golden stars for those who noticed it right away). On saturday, I went to a christmas market in Munster,Germany where I mostly been eating calories-boms, I will do another post solely on this. And on sunday I went to a vintage kilo sale for the first time with my friend Roz. It wasn't anything big and I didn't really plan on buying something until I saw this suede leather skirt that goes right above my knees and a cute crochet crop top, which were never worn. All for 9 euros. Can't beat that right?

I got this polkadot sweater I think last year and am so bumped that I bought it a size too big. I like the sweater to be a bit oversized but not too much. And this item is right on the borderline. Nonetheless it's still comfy as ever and hold enough heat for me to be walking in this autumn weather. I went to Primark the other day and found this coat, which is actually too thin to be called a 'coat', on sale. I promised myself not to buy a coat anymore, I mean what is this 99problems post about. But I knew that I would have a great wear out of it, so I couldn't help myself. What can I say.. I'm a sucker for anything on discount.

Haul | 99 problems but a coat ain't one

Finally got some time to post my 99problems post, this time with some recently bought coats/vest or jackets. I seriously don't know how I got to this point where I bought all this. I couldn't resist the 'temporarily' H&M sale on the two pieces from the top. And I love how versatile and awesome the faux fur vest it. It can make an outfit 10 times more interesting! Definitely recommend this one. It's a bit longer than the one I already have. Considering buying one of these coats? All H&M coats/jackets are a bit bulky/oversized. So going a size down is definitely worth it.

ootd | A boyfriend jeans kind of day

H&M jacket, H&M blue gray shirt, H&M boyfriend jeans, River Island suede heels

Sister: "Why are you taking pictures? You're always wearing that.."
Me: *Disappointed*

Sometimes when I really want to dress up and put on awesome outfits, I don't feel inspired. I guess the best outfits come when you don't search for it. And it's not only about putting on outfits but in life general. Just like when you see a trailer of a movie and you get excited for it and when you've seen it, it just falls flat and you get disappointed (talking about Gravity) but when you don't have expectations, everything is way better. Anyone knows that feeling?

ootd | A lovely day to wear a dotted skirt

H&M white linnen shirt, H&M lyocell gilet, Gaudi (Indonesian brand) dotted skirt, Bershka pointy wedges,
Fjalraven backpack, Micheal Kors watch

Hi there guys! Sorry I've been MIA lately.. mainly because my project was taking so much of my time and I had to gain skills in autoCAD, Sketchup and such which forces me to make long hours. If you follow me on instagram, you'd know what's up.

Anyway, the following two weeks are my exams so I need to hit the library to study.. I can't do it without my favorite backpack at the moment. It has traveled with me quite a lot and I'm wearing it today as well. I paired it with a gilet I got on sale at H&M and a dotted skirt from a local Indonesian store.

ootd | This is not a carpet around my neck

River Island (old) vest, H&M Leather jacket, H&M shorts, Pieces shirt,  H&M ankle boots

Another outfit of the day. I have this vest more than a few years but was never able to wear it without people thinking that I'm wearing a carpet around my neck.. But this fall I couldn't care any less. The difficult part of wearing this (or these sorts of garments) is you never really know how to wear it with a jacket on.. The downside of throwing a jacket on top of it, makes you look bulky and sometimes even uncomfortable. So I like to wear the vest over my jacket. Same goes for fur vests or anything bulky. How would you wear it?
