Summer Trend // Flower Crowns

Flower crowns are a big trend for spring/summer 2013, and every fashion blogger seems to love them!
 I'm personally very in love with this trend, although I don't feel like floral themed fashion is really me. Of course I am going to try something like the above ones out, because, just look at them! They turn a basic look into someting a lot more cute and feminine, and give a bohemian touch.

These are my four picks which I stumbled upon online, what are yours? :)

My Warehouse365 Creepers!

I ordered my first pair of creepers a few weeks ago, and I wanted to share my experience with you!

A family member recommended their online shop so I decided to take a look. They have a few different ceeper shoes with different prints like Flower and Leopard. I knew I wanted the studded ones but it definitely was hard choosing because I liked the flower printed shoes a lot too! 

I'm usually really picky when it comes to shopping online, especially shoes. You never know if the quality is what you expect it to be, and what's also very important: the sizing. However, Warehouse365 did a great job on both quality and sizing! My beloved creepers are very comfortable, and eye-catching for sure :)
I got a size 37 because my feet are quite narrow, but they fit perfectly!

If you are interested in buying some good quality, reasonably priced creepers, I highly recommend Warehouse365!
Their shipping is FREE, which is always good!

OOTD - The Summery Dress

 
Dress - Primark
Shoes - also Primark

I finally got the chance to wear my dress I bought quite a while ago already, so I did!
Because I'm away this weekend I only brought these shoes and my creepers, but I think it looks okay like this.

I really hope this weather stays for a while because it helps me overcome my winter depression that lasted way too long!

Hope you're having a great weekend, because I sure am.

OOTD - The Thrifted Coat

Argh, it was so windy that day. You can tell just by looking at my face that I'm annoyed lol

Coat - Thrifted, €13
I got this coat from a thriftstore about a week ago, and I'm in love! It fits me perfectly and it's really warm. Summer is almost here but it's still super cold, so I don't mind buying a winter jacket!
I do think we might not get a proper summer this year AT ALL... deep sigh. The weather in the Netherlands really sucks.

Kisses, SJ 

OOTD - A Touch Of Asian Culture

 

 Top - Thrifted, €2.50
Necklace - H&M
Skinnies - Primark
Shoes - Modemusthaves (not available anymore)

I thrifted this amazing Asian-like top, along with some other items. I just love going to these second hand stores and buy clothes for cheap! I wore this to school and I got compliments on the top, when I told them where I got it they were all surprised haha :) It doesn't matter where you get your clothes from, as long as they're in good condition.

Wishlist #1

Hey guys!

I thought I'd share my current wishlist with you. These are the kind of clothing pieces I've been looking for lately/have seen but not been able to buy yet.


1. ROMWE Dog Muscle Tee: After the Givenchy Dog T-Shirt, worn by Kanye West, became popular, lots of other clothing brands started producing copies or give the design a little twist. I personally find the original Givenchy Dog T-Shirt way too expensive, even though I love it. That's why I'd rather have a knock-off or a twisted design instead!

H&M Kanye West Top: Speaking of Kanye West, I saw this top with his face on it in H&M the other day, I was hesitating to buy and eventually left the store without it. I now regret it, even though I'm not this 'huge' fan of Kanye West, I like him though. :) I really do love the way he's pictured on the top.

Forever 21 Crop Top: CROP TOPS. Why can't I find them? Literally nowhere. And because of that, I decided to finally go online. I discovered Forever 21 has a lot of them. I went all crazy scrolling through the pages, until I discovered they didn't have size XS or S in stock. *Sigh*...

ROMWE GIYONGCHY Muscle Tee: This top just appeals to me, it's simple but very fashionable at the same time. Fits perfect with the monochrome trend (which is perfect for me, I love black and white, heh.)


2. H&M Aztec Shorts: I'm in love with aztec prints! I don't have any shorts yet so this is definitely a wishlist item for me.

Etsy Studded Shorts: Studs added to a piece of clothing always create this 'rock' feeling, and I love that! I saw these on Etsy, obviously they are easy to make yourself, with some tutorials on Youtube I just might do it :)

Etsy Galaxy Shorts: Stars, the galaxy, lovin' it. It's so unique, and looks very good on most types of clothing! I especially like galaxy shorts because shorts, obviously, only cover a small part of your legs. This way the print won't be like BAM, right into your eyes. I like to play it safe with these kind of prints.
~(I want to DIY all three shorts! Giving your personal twist to something makes it even more unique)


3. New Look Creepers: Creepers, oh these shoes. Everyone has them, I want them too. I don't really feel like paying €70 for shoes, so it took me a while to find a cheaper pair. I actually did find cheaper ones which I'll be ordering soon! So be prepared because I know for sure I'll wear them a lot!

H&M Open Heels: When I was at H&M the other day, I saw these lovelies. They are so cute, aren't they? Perfect for summer!

Timberlands: Now, Timberland shoes (and the JC Lita's as well) are quite expensive. It would be amazing if I could get my hands on some real ones, but there's nothing wrong with a knock-off, either. I must go on the hunt for them, ha!

Jeffrey Campbell Lita's: You like them, or you don't. It's one way or another. The Lita's are kind of chunky, but I like that about them. They're different, and outstanding. Suuuper expensive though, but worth the money, from what I've heard.

Kisses, SJ.

This weekend me and my boyfriend decided to go to our 'secret' little island. There was a lot of dry wood and it was quite cold, so we made a fire! pyromaniacs. 
Unfortunately we didn't bring any marshmallows.. But we'll be coming back when it's summer to BBQ and sit by the fire late at night nomming on warm marshmallows.

Have a great day!

Barcelona Buys

Necklace - H&M / € 9.95
Shorts - Bershka / € 12.99
Legging - Stradivarius / € 10,-

I didn't get to shop a lot because we had a lack of free time, but I am happy with the things that I did buy!

I finally got this necklace from H&M that I have been seeing all over the internet, but was never able to find it  here! Actually, I found a similar necklace in Primark for €5 ,I think, but the material felt really cheap and it just didn't look good. I'm really happy I got this one from H&M.

What I got from Bershka is a high waisted dark blue denim short. It has two zippers on the front which are a great add, they look really nice when on and it fits perfectly. Denim shorts like this one aren't available in Holland yet, because the weather is still quite cold and not summery at all.

Last but not least, the leggings! Oh my gosh. I had never heard of Stradivarius, a lot of European countries don't have it. I am glad I discovered it though, they have a lot of nice clothing!
 I have been on the hunt for a pair of leggings like these for a long time. Stradivarius has various types of leggings, prints and colors, I wanted to get more but I didn't think I could style the more 'chaotic' print leggings really well. Even though this is a heavy print too, it's black and white which makes it easier to style (for me at least). I think it looks really good with a white sweater or top, but of course there are more variations of what you can put on top of it and everyone has their own taste and opinions.

This is what I bought when I was in Barcelona! I definitely want to go back someday, take my time, and visit all the shops and little boutiques they have.

See you on my next post!

OOTD - Floating In A Turquoise Sea

Sweater - Primark // Necklace - Primark // Ring - Primark // On my lips - Catrice Lipstick 190 'The Nuder, The Better'

Hey!

I recently got this turquoise sweater from Primark. I have fallen in love.
Turquoise is one of my favorite colors, but I didn't have a piece of clothing of it! Now that I do, I want more.. so be prepared haha :)

I paired this sweater with plain black leggings, and low black tennis shoes (which I got from Primark as well for €3), just to make the sweater stand out as much as possible. For accessories I went for gold. My owl&dragonfly necklace and black stone ring!
Gosh I feel so good in this sweater, it's really comfortable and warm. Perfect for the chilly weather here in Holland.

Hope you like it!

OOTD - High Low Eagle

An outfit I created with my recently bought Primark pieces. Hope you like!

PS. next post will be a review of the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain 'Beloved' :)

Primark Haul and bits of Revlon

Loose Black Tank Top // High-Low Eagle Tee // Light Denim Shorts // Black shoes // Knee High Socks

Flat Studded Backpack

I've been on the hunt for a more 'fashionable' backpack for so long! I get the feeling that I'm going to collect all sorts of backpacks from different stores, whoops.

Summery Dress

I can't believe I actually bought a dress. I normally don't like the dresses Primark has at all, they don't seem to fit right, but this one actually does! It fits me perfectly and even the waist band fits amazing. I'm not a dress person, but this summer I will prove that I am not afraid to show my legs! Here we go with the silly little accomplishments again :)

Revlon Nail Polish 'Grapefruit Fizz' // Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain 'Beloved'

For as far as I know, they don't sell Revlon in Holland, but I might be wrong. Anyway, I haven't been able to find it anywhere.  But today was my lucky day! I saw in a magazine that a store nearby had Revlon makeup for a limited time and went to check it out! Most of it was gone already, and unfortunately the lipstick was nowhere to be found (I wanted to get their lipsticks so bad!) but I managed to pick up these two things.
The nail polish claims to be scented when dry, I will find out sooner or later :)

So that was my little haul for today.
I will try to put an outfit post up soon!

Have a great day~

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!
