Shopping in Antwerp

Last weekend me and my friends went on a shopping trip to Antwerp. It was lots of fun! Antwerp is a beautiful city with lots of great shops that we don't have here in Amsterdam. In the end I didn't buy that much but I did have a great time!

Wearing H&M sunglasses, a coat from Topshop, the green top from River Island over a white collared Primark top, white Zara shorts andNelly.com brogues.

Antwerp is a beautiful city.

The gang

Amanda rocking the diva look. She's wearing a vintage jacket and top with H&M x Lanvin sunglasses. Some of you have asked if she has a blog, and she started one recently! You can find it here.

Whenever I see a zebra, I need to be in a picture with it.

After a long day in the city, we went out to dinner and then had an old fashioned sleepover at the hotel where we straightened and braided each other's hair and did each other's nails.


And this last photo was just too funny not to share, haha.

The winner of the Lisanne Janssen giveaway is Komomo. You'll get an e-mail soon about your prize! If you liked Lisanne's designs, stay up to date and inspired by following her blog.

UnlimitedPR Blogger Event

Yesterday I was invited by UnlimitedPR to come to their wonderful blogger event. Here we could do all sorts of fun activities and experience their selection of brands. We got to style outfits, get our make-up done by MAC and watch cool 3D films with stylish 3D glasses from Kiss & Kill.
This is what I wore! A flapper-style beaded top fromNelly.com (find it here) over an H&M blouse, Zara shorts andNelly.com shoes.

There was a MAC make-up artist that created some really cool looks to go with Swatch's new collection of watches. Nanne got bold blue eyes!
Marloes getting her picture taken.
I want this in my house! So classy.
Of course there were lots of yummy snacks.
Beautiful leathers from DNA.
Pepe Jeans is coming out with an Andy Warhol line. Really cool!
Loved this little beaded clutch from Pieces.
Nice watch from Calvin Klein.
For G-Star we got to design our own brogues. It was really fun to see what everyone came up with, of course mine were pastel.
I really want one of these bathing suits from Mama Maria. The retro shape is so flattering! They reminded me a lot of the Esther Williams bathing suits from ModCloth that I've been lusting after since forever.
Pretty Lara Rose.
Some lovely things from Marlene Birger.
It was a very fun afternoon. Thanks UnlimitedPR!

ASOS wish list

Yesterday I spent the entire night putting things in my ASOS shopping basket, then taking them out again cause the total added up to, you know, more than is in my bank account right now. Figured I'd make a little wish list and thinking about which ones I really want to buy. I'm thinking a lot about dresses #4 and #6 and shoes #4. Which are you favorites?

Dress from Romwe, shirt and leather bag from Kling.

I moved my furniture around a bit this week, I always love doing that. Feels much more feng shui, haha. Also, I can take outfitphotos in the living room now instead of my rather hideous kitchen.
