River Island jingles all the way

Summer 2011 hasn't really turned out to be hot and sticky, so River Island decided to make it even more chilly - with a fancy touch, that is. They're thinking quite ahead, because the press and a lot of other bloggers got to see a preview of their XMAS 11 collection earlier this week. Not all the items were my cup of tea but as you can see, I did make some pictures to show you guys! The first pair of shoes remind me a lot of Sam Edelman and I love them, although they're a bit too high for such a small gal like me. And what about that envelope clutch? Pretty, yes. Handy, question mark. Anyways,...

Te quiero ahora

1. Modcloth Sommelier Sophistication Satchel - I discovered it together with Modcloth itself. I had heard of the webshop before but never went to take a look. What do you know... I'm in love with the bag! It's currently out of stock, but I'll be immediately contacted and I think you can guess what my next purchase will be?2. Jeffrey Campbell Rosie Cutout Combat boot - It doesn't always have to be a pair of JC Lita's. No, just give me these - not so simple - combat boots and I'd be really happy!3. Nike Dunks High AC Vintage - My friend's sister posted a picture of these Nikes and I fell in love....

Don'ts like a dude

Problema número uno - don't mind my Spanish vocabulary, I just booked a flight to Barcelona baby! - is that boys don't know how to mix & match... AT ALL! Okay just kidding, some boys do. But this combination just hurts my eyes... Why would you ever consider of wearing two garments like the ones above... together!?!? You just don't. Let us, girls,  do the mix & matching or combine a printed t-shirt with plain colored pants/shorts.Yes, I'm begging you... Don't ever buy shoes like these. I don't care if they're Lacoste, Diesel, Hugo Boss or Alexander McQueen for Puma... Just don't consider...

Moments for body and soul

Let me introduce you to a new Belgian cosmetic brand: Blicious. I came in contact with their products when I visited the SUMO press days a few months ago. I was quite surprised to see such fancy looking products and knowing they were Belgian! Yes, this tiny country can quite surprise you! Anyways, I was also very surprised when I received two of those products in my mailbox. And how lucky am I, I received products I could actually use! I'm not a big fan of using a lot of products, but some body wash and cleanser & toner can never hurt, right? There are 3 steps to the use of Blicious...

The first ones

About a week ago, I made a new friend. No, I'm not talking about the kind you don't know at all but saw once a.k.a. a Facebook friend... No, I'm talking about the kind that helps you with a few important things in life: blogging, keeping in touch with (fake) friends, answering emails, taking webcam pictures and so on... Yes, I befriended a little thing called the Macbook Pro! Here are some of the pictures I took with Photo Booth = best invention everrrrr! About 15 minutes ago I tweeted I was going to do something in a post that a normal fashion blogger wouldn't do... The thing is that all those...

Top 3 blog posts of July

N°1: Natalie Off Duty - A little something for youIt doesn't always have to be another blogger's outfit post that I mention in this top 3. This time it's a blogger showing her talented side! Natalie Suarez might sound familiar as the girl behind the blog Natalie Off Duty, a model, the sister of fellow blogger Dylana Suarez... But she can also sing, you guys! She chose her favorite song by Adele, Someone like you, which is also my favorite! It's really fun to see how she knows the song by heart. We're dealing with a true Adele fan here... and a stylish one too! N°2: Oh May God - WIW: Paris...

The preppy details

You know your day is going to be great when it starts off real bad or just totally weird - read: A man screaming at you in the bus that his shoes are prettier than your face. That's what happened to me yesterday... Once in the Tommy Hilfiger pop-up store in K-town, I forgot all about the (weird) incident. I was quite surprised when I laid my eyes on some of the preppy pieces. I never thought I'd be a Tommy Hilfiger liking gal, but I should have known when I fell in love with the Bennington Low Duck boots a.k.a Olivia boots! But now I can tell you with certainty that I quite love TH, well...

Forever 21 store opening

Last week I got the chance to visit the brand new Forever 21 store before it opened for public, so I hurried home after work, ate dinner and changed into another outfit very quickly! I wanted this opening to be as special for you guys as it was for me, so I took my old digital camera with me to make small videos. As some of you may have already read on twitter, I just bought a Macbook Pro and I honestly couldn't be happier! It's probably the best invention ever, together with the iPhone of course :) I had heard from iMovie already but since I own a Mac now, I could just play around with it! And...
