OOTD - Jack Daniels




Jack Daniels Top - The Bazaar // Blouse - The Bazaar // Black Tights - These are so old! But you can find them pretty much anywhere :) // Shorts - DIY // Boots - Primark // Spikey Bracelet - Primark // Ring - €1 Shop

Hello!

I combined a few new pieces with old ones, because I was so excited to wear my Jack Daniels top and the new black blouse I got the other day when me and my mom went to The Bazaar. The blouse feels very funny, it looks like fake leather but when you feel the fabric it's almost like a little waterfall in your hands? I don't know haha!

I hope you're all well~

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY

It was my birthday yesterday, Feb 10, and I turned seventeen!
At 0:00 exactly my mom surprised me downstairs with this heart made out of candles, and you have no idea how much I like candles. My boyfriend was there too and they both wished me a happy birthday. We then watched tv together for a while and my boyfriend and I went to watch a movie in bed.
In the morning I got ready and had breakfast, which included the Mocha cake, but hey it's my birthday so everything is allowed :)
At noon me and the boy went to town again, just to spend some time together. The weather was just fine, it was windy but the sun was shining.
Overall I had a great day, did nothing super special, but that'll be saved for next year when I turn eighteen!

Out & About





Jacket - Bershka / Scarf - Primark / Faux Fur Collar Vest - Coolcat / Leggings - My Style / Boots - Primark

Hello there,

On February 9th the boyfriend and I decided to go to town, even though it was freezing cold. We had a good time and I got some nice accessories as well!

I'm surprised how active my boyfriend is with helping me shop compared to other men. I often see them standing in a corner of the store with bags of other shops surrounding them, typing furiously on their phones to kill time until the girl finally returns so that they can go to the counter to pay.

So yeah, this is pretty  much it I think. Birthday post is coming up!

PS. I want to apologize for not blogging much lately, I haven't been feeling well and stress + lack of sleep made it all worse. Sometimes I have to take a step back and take the time to relax. I will try my best to keep up some kind of blogging schedule from now on!

Haul!


Marilyn Monroe Tee - Action / The Beatles Tee - Action / Beanie - Action / Super Skinny Bleached Jeans - Primark / High Waisted Baroque Shorts - Primark

Because it's winter I'm constantly on the hunt for any beanies. I was never the girl that would wear stuff on her head, but that changed rapidly this winter. I decided that I'm not going to 'torture' myself anymore by not wearing any headwear, just for the fear of other people's opinions. Beanies actually look pretty neat on me! Oh these little personal achievements may seem stupid but they mean so much to me :3


The Script T-Shirt and The Script #3 dog tag I bought at the merchandise stand at the concert! You can also buy The Script merchandise here

They didn't have the girls tee anymore, it sold out so quickly :( I still wanted a shirt so I had to buy a men's M size. It looks neat when tucked in shorts or jeans, I'm just not sure about the sleeves yet, because they're a little too wide for my girly arms haha! Maybe I will cut them off.
I'm in deep love with the dog tag, it just looks amazing and the material is really good.



I hope you have a nice day!

The Script @ Ziggodome Amsterdam

Waiting outside with the other 16.998 people outside, woo! It was cold out but because everyone was standing so close to each other in this massive crowd, it actually got warm, haha!

From the moment we walked into Ziggodome, til' I said down on my seat, I was so amazed by how big it was. And all the people! We had an amazing view, even though we were not close to Danny and the others. There was a moment when he walked into the standing crowd, we got a little bit jealous there because HELLO.

Hannah and Me :)





Everyone was singing along to all of the songs, everyone was so enthusiastic.
Danny was really good performing live, his voice was amazing and sounded exactly like what you hear on the  recorded songs.
It made me feel so warm inside to see the guys, especially Danny, smiling because they were so happy and proud of themselves of what they accomplished in just a few years. "You cannot believe what I am seeing right now, from this stage." said Danny.
This was the 3rd time they performed for so many people, I'm so happy for them! It really touched my heart seeing Danny and the others so emotional <3



Overall it was an amazing concert! We had a great time and I'll definitely go see them again next time when they're in Holland!
