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 at least the preppy collection I got to see yesterday. I couldn't really choose between all the pictures I shot so I posted almost all of them. My fellow bloggers and I had so much fun. We went for a drink after visiting the pop-up store and we even dipped our feet in the water, I felt like I was on holiday.

Anyways, Knokke is so beautiful and I couldn't think of a better place to put the Tommy Hilfiger pop-up store! It just feels so right, you know? Unfortunately I didn't buy anything, although I wanted to... I have to save up a bit for my iPhone 4 and my car. In the meantime, I'm having so much fun with my Macbook Pro!

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 so I did... here's a video I made from the private opening. You can't believe how fun it was to shop in an almost empty store! Add a €100 gift voucher on top and there you go: you made my day! Thanks to Oona and Forever21 for the great evening full of clothes, music and delicious snacks!

I miss London

You've already seen (and liked) my London buys, but I didn't get the chance to show you some pictures I took during my stay there... I was thinking about what to post today and since my small movie of the private F21 event isn't ready yet, I browsed to my files full of pictures. I found these ones from LDN and that's when I realised I miss the city! The food - fish & chips, the shops - Topshop and Kurt Geiger, the cosy areas to walk around - Covent Garden, the people...  So far I can say I'm definitely going back! Any tips?

76 Mahogany

Just a few detail shots of an outfit I didn't end up wearing to a pool party after all - due to hot weather. I do love it because it's so simple and comfy - my trademarks, haha - and very versatile. You can wear it to go to a friend's house, go shopping, grab lunch and so on! Anyhow... the title refers to the - back then - color of my hair. Why back then and not now? Well, you tell me! The first week after dying my hair, the color remains intact and the way I want it: as red/purple as it can be. But afterwards it just fades... People tell me it still looks a bit reddish, but sorry guys, I really don't see it! I'm back to the orangy/brown hair :/ The only solution I can come up with is dying it over and over again, which will cost me a fortune! But oh well, you got to spend money if you want to look good...

I'm wearing an H&M short, Silence+Noise blouse, Vintage shoes that I received from my cousin, Primark bag

Zara pointy heels that I finally found in the right size / Two packs of nail polish by H&M, I don't really recommend them but love the colors though / A Zara jumper which reminds me of an Isabel Marant one. Thinking about getting it in blue as well / The Monki hat that I bought during my 5 hour stay in Amsterdam for FW

I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me! Who knew you could do so much with just a scarve? Enjoy!

These are just five ways to wear a Carré, but check out the Veritas website for more!
