Merry Christmas!

Today I'm going to have an extraordinary dinner (made by... my mum!). Last night we had a lovely party. My cousin got married and we had such a great time! The bride looked gorgeous, even as the rest of the family did. Loved it!

Anyway, tonight I'm heading off to France, I'm going to do some serious snowboarding for 8 days. Hell yeah! I'm so excited :D However, I won't be able to update this week, but hopefully shortly after that I will be posting some outfit-pictures with my new Topshop and Miss Selfridge boots (The MS-ones arrived! Gosh, they're lovely). For now: I wish you all a smashing Christmas and a lovely new year!

New Finds (again..) @ Topshop

Yes, I plead guilty. I bought some stuff again! Both boots I've been longing for for like.. months. Now they will be mine. I was also looking for a pair of skinny leatherlook pants (that won't be loose at the bottom), hopefully these are the right ones. They're from the Tall-collection, so they will be tall enough anyhow (finally!). The chunky knitted scarf I found by accident and liked it. Looks like it will keep me warm without the itching (it's acrylic). What do you think?

New Finds!

Hurray! I finally found some overknee boots that - hopefully - don't have a hoochy feel combined with my blonde hair. I know overknees don't necessarily need to be trashy, but worn by myself it feels like they do. I think these suede ones are really gorgeous and look like they are comfortable too. I ordered them @ Miss Selfridge, as well as the hareem pants. Hopefully they are long enough for me.

Today's Outfit

The snowing persists. The world turns to a fairytale-ish place, but I spend most of my time indoors, where the my central heater has to cope with a lot of additional work. I think I will try to go outside in a little while (and replace my boots with some comfy and warm uggs.. not that they 'd improve my outfit, but I don't really care.. as long as my feet don't hurt as much as they usually do when it's freezing cold).

Today's Outfit

Oh my God, it's getting cold! Obviously a good reason for wearing my leather pants. When outdoors, I wrapped a huge scarf around my neck. The chunky knitted beanie keeps me (and my ears :p) warm and gives me the opportunity to sleep a little longer in the morning (for like.. 5 minutes, I never spend too much time in creating a complicated hairdo).

New Coat <3

In fact, I was looking for a fur-coat, but came to the conclusion fur coats just don't suit my bodytype or something like that.. I look like a hundred pounds heavier, and my shoulders look like I've been bodybuilding for ages. Then I found this coat. You don't have to be a smartass to determine that I have a lot of black hanging in my closet, so it ws about time for a change. I can't really define the colour of this coat, it's a kind of cream/grey/mintgreen-ish color. The shape of the coat is slightly oversized (which is a very useful shape when you like big knitted sweaters 'n stuff during very col days) and the sleeves also are very loose (I like!). At last, mention the collar of the coat: it is a bit upright and wrapped around the neck. Furthermore, I just want a simple, long, black coat, because mine's already kicked off. I've been wearing it for a couple of years. Think I shoud head off to Zara's soon.

My boots, my boots, my boots are okay! ;)

I love my new boots.. When I first saw them I tried them on, but didn't bring them home.. unfortunately, cause when I decided to get them, I wasn't able to find them in a size 38 anymore! Aaargh! Once I stopped having my heart set on them, I came across them while shopping with my BF. Hurray, ofcourse I wouldn't make the same mistake again, and bought them immediately. What do you think? They're a sort of destroyed black/grey and laced up. Luckily, they are very narrow too, 'cause I've been looking for narrow laced up boots for ages (okay I admit, I sometimes blow things out of proportions) that suit my thin feet.

Today's Outfit

All black today (again!), 'cause I love black (and combined with silver even more!). Not quite sure about the dress.. I adore it, but unfortunately it is one size too big for me.. I wanted it so badly I didn't care about the size, lol. If I'll even find one size smaller, I'll buy that one.. for now I just have to cope with this one (or eat more ;) uhuh - no I won't).

New Finds!

Bought some new stuff last week: a silver cross pendant, I already have many of them, but still love it, Acne jeans and - lovethemorhatethem - Ugg Ultra Shorts in black. Didn't buy the Uggs for their elegance or their graceful appearance obviously, but there's something about them I do like. Since I've been doing that for years, today I ordered some in black. I seem to order everything in black.. ;) That's why my black jeans (had one pair of black jeans, Nudie) needed a substitute. This piece is a bit of a gamble, because I never had Acne jeans, so I hope they'll fit.

Today I went to Rotterdam for a tiny shoppingspree with a friend and bought a cute little studded bag (I'll show you later on) and truckloads of.. socks! Yep.. socks! I needed some socks and tights, so I grabbed them as bargains at Primark! However, they're terribly ugly (think: elephants and pigs on it), so I think I'm not going to show them :p Furthermore, I bought some 120 denier tights, patterned-tights (they have a black floral-ish print, like them a lot) and some house socks (yeah, socks again!)/house shoes.

In the meanwhile I already received my red Zara cape-coat which I mentioned a few posts ago.. and Oh-my-God.. it's lovely. Slightly too big, but lovely anyway! I'd love to show you some pictures, but unfortunately I left the coat at my parents' house.

Lovely Leggings

I've been wearing nothing but wuite simple, legging-big-sweater/tee/blazer-outfits lately. One of the things that make my outfits complete are leggings. I adore leggings, as long as they are tall enough for me.. and reache my ankles. Here are some of the versions I like. Most of the time I wear them joined together with an oversized top/sweater or a basic dress. Boots underneath and ready to go! :)

Dear Santa.. ;)

Today's Outfit

Extremely simplistic.. sometimes that's all I need. Now I'm heading off to my parents' house for this weekend.

New Find <3 Topshop

Bought this cardigan today, hopefully it will suit me, I'm kinda picky when it comes to cardigans..

Oh my God..

Just when I thought it wouldn't get any better.. Acne made these. Dámn..
