Dressing up

Recently I got this new chic dress, and I love it. I mean, how could I not? When in doubt, a LBD is always a good idea!

This dress is due to the material and lace details quite a fancy dress, which is great for those evenings when I am going out to dinner. I’ll just add this pair of heels, and my little watermelon pink MK bag to add some colour. In fact, tonight I’ll be heading out in this exact outfit for my dad’s birthday dinner. Great thing is: it’s really comfy as well.

The pictures I took today have all been taken in the backyard of my new home, I’ll give you an update very soon about how my life in Curacao has been these last months.

If you’d like to shop the dress I wore today you can use this link: ?http://www.shein.com/Black-V-Neck-With-Lace-Dress-p-233181-cat-1727.html

I’ll speak to you soon!

LBD X ADDIDAS

Dress: Monki/ shoes: Addidas Stan Smith/ bag: Zara/ lipstick: M.A.C. – Russian red

Hi babes!
I’m pretty sure every girl knows that the LBD is a essential. Now this one might not be so ‘little’ but a nice black dress is always welcome! I got this one at Monki and I’m obsessed. The turtleneck and slip give it a bit of a ‘sexy’ touch, but combined with some sneakers you can also wear it pretty casual.

Fall outfit inspiration

I love Fall outfits, simply cause I love layering, long coats, sweathers, the cozyness and colours and much more. Since I’ve been so busy lately I decided to create some outfits that I would wear this fall and to get some inspiration off.
Since I was able to choose out off an entire bunch of clothes, I did add some more expensive items (just the absolute to die for designer bags). But I mostly sticked to shops I personally always like to shop!

Coat: Monki/ top: Zara/ skirt: Zara/ heels: Zara/ sunglasses: Celine/ bag: Etudes Studio

Coat: Zara/ shirt: Shop Sincerly Jules/ jeans: Topshop/ scarf: H&M/ bag: Givency/ shoes: converse X Comme des Garcons.

Sleeveles leather jacket: Mango/ shirt: Comme des Garcons/ jeans: Mango/ shoes: Zara/ bag: Balenciaga

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you would like me to make more of these let me know, cause I surpriseingly enjoy making them!

Speak to you soon!

Hi loves,
It’s been a while, but i’m back to blogging! I just got back from a 5day (school)trip to Paris, and had a blast. I love Paris so much, the buildings, desserts, and the language, I find it all gorgeous.

Today is a little outfit post, this isn’t a very spectacular outfit, but great for days you want to be comfortable and still look a bit put together. I’ve had this sweatshirt for about a year now and i’m still in love with it. It was so comfortable during the 7hour busride, but also classy enough to step out into the lovely Paris with. My friend was kind enough to take some random pictures of me before heading out to dinner, so here they are. You’ll see more pictures in a upcoming blogpost soon!

Have a nice day!

Dressing up | a day in Amsterdam

Dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs // bag: H&M // heels: Omoda // watch: Daniel Wellington // sunglasses: Prada
Hi Loves,
Last week, while I was still school-free, I went to visit Amsterdam with one of my best friends. We shot a few photo’s of our outfit’s so we could make outfit posts. (may’s blog is coming soon!)
Practicully all we did was stumbling a bit through the city, go inside a few shops, have lunch and go home, but it was a blast. I always love days like these, and Amsterdam, I can’t wait to go and study in this city in a few years.

I was wearing this dress I actually got for a wedding, now i know this isn’t a very ‘weddingly-like’ dress, haha. But after trying on a lot of ted baker/karen Millen dresses, I finally found one that I could wear multiple times, then just one. I personally love this dress cause it looks chic but it’s also really comfortable.
Great thing was, I wasn’t the only person who liked it. I got multiple compliments, and when May and I visited the Bijenkorf (a very luxurious shop) the people for once gave us samples, and smiled at me when i was touching a Givency Bag, such a nice thing to expierience, me and May felt really fabulous, haha.

We had lunch at Sla, which is a dutch salade bar, were you can put together your own salade, it was so delicous! And healthy aswell ofcourse, I’ll definetly visit this place again!

Well to anyone who, as me, has started school again. Good luck!!

Thanks for reading!

I simply love this, the pictures, the sign in general. It remindes me of the Hollywood sign (obviously) I saw last year, but sadly couldn’t get so close to.
Yes, this blogposts means I am back in the Netherlands, home, for now at least. It’s stating to look like I’ll be moving in Januari…. How i feel about this? Mmm although I’ll have to miss my friends, moving to a island in the caribieën does sound appealing. It opens this entire new chapter I never thaught of possible. Well, nothing is for sure yet, so I’ll just end that here.

Today is a sort of outfit post, kind of randomly, I had planned all these outfits and didn’t end up taking pictures of one of them. It just wasn’t on my mind. This outfit is simple, but kinda describes me, simple black & white and a pop of pink, I match the flamingo’s, haha. Gotta love those fluffy pink birds.

If I don’t upload i miss it, and I feel like there is so much I want to write to you guys about. School is about to start, but that would be the last thing on my mind, ugh. Well what more to say, just a little update. I’ll make a few other posts soon, I wrote them back in Curacao but didn’t wanted to upload them without pictures, so they’ll be up soon. They are more personal, tho, a new categorie I’ll call “inspiration” so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading babes!

Colour block

Skirt: zara/ blouse: Cos/ shoes: vans/ sunglasses: Prada/ bag: micheal kors/ watch: daniel wellington/ bracelets: shashi

Hi Loves!
This (read: €13) pencil skirt, is my life, i love it so much. It’s really nice body flattering and just a simple trow on, which still makes you look chic.

Especially in combination with this blouse. Somehow i found myself matching the colourful-mosaic designs from gaudi today. But ohwell, this top is great for hot weather, since the fabric is silk and nature-fabrics usually don’t make you feel so sweaty. I really like this combination. What do you think?

Speak to you soon!

Easy breezy & icy blue

Dress: weekday/ bag: micheal kors/ sunglasses: prada/ shoes: vans/ watch: daniel wellington/ bracelets: shasi
Right before my trip, i was looking for a very summery dress, that i would be able to just throw over my head, and step in to some 30 degree weather with. I found this dress at weekday, and felt like it fitted my need. When i just came out of the plane i changed into this easy throw-on. I love the icy blue colour of it, which i think somehow looks really good in combination with my ‘watermelon pink’ bag. What do you think?

Speak to you soon!

BACK TO BLACK

Hi everyone!
Finally an outfit post again! Theire my fave, it took a while but i got a lot more coming soon!

Today’s outfit makes me feel kinda fabulous. The jeans and top are both from the australian store http://www.weareroar.com.au . I love their store! They have such gorgeous items, i wish i could have them all! They also have a gorgeous collection of coats! You should definetly check out there site; http://weareroar.com.au and instagram; @weareroar.
Now let’s talk the outfit!

The top i’m wearing is from the brand Bec & Bridge. It’s a very good quality fabric and really comfortable as well. This is the kind of top you can wear really chic, for exemple on a pencil skirt, or really casual with jeans like i did.
These jeannss….!!! I love these jeans, their by far the most comfortable pair i own, + the hight in the waist is just perfect, and the cutouts at the knees add a nice extra touch! These are the J-Brand jeans

I hope you enjoyed this post!

3 designer pieces | wishlist

Hi everyone!

I always like to keep my eyes on the latest trends and designer pieces, and there are a ton of designer pieces i wish i could afford. i have a list on my phone actually with all sorts of designer pieces i hope too own one day, haha.

but if there would only be 3 designer items i would be able to buy, these 3 items would it be,

#1 the designer handbag

okay, obvious one. but honestly any designer bag can make a simple H&M white tee and jeans look like a million bucks. you’ll probably wear this bag a thousand times, since it’s an accessory which matches any outfit, especially a black structured bag.

my faves:

Saint Laurent – Sac de jour

givency – antoniga

balenciaga – city bag

#2 Leather Jacket

i feel like a good quality leather jacket is definetly worth the investment, especially if you’re like me and you wear leather jackets all the time.

my faves:

acne studios

Saint Laurent

#3 Sunglasses

Maybe your not able to wear sunglasses year round, and isn’t it the smartest idea to go on a hike while wearing a pair of designer sunnies, i definitely feel like a pair of cool shades can totally update your look! Wearing a pair of designer shades gives me that fabulous “movie-kinda” feeling. Totally worth the investment!

my faves:

Fendi

Celine

What would be your top 3?

Happy Monday!

XOXO

Sophia
