Summer Wish List

Hi ladies,
although the temperatures have been high enough to be summer already, the summer season starts this weekend. So to be completely summer ready I made a little wish list.

Outfit of the day: Date night

Hi ladies,
I take every chance I get to dress up, because I love it. I enjoy dressing up especially on date nights. So I thought it would be fun to share an ootd, or should I say outfit of the night :)

J. got me this tassel necklace, which is similar to the Stella & Dot one. Stella & Dot pieces aren't available here, so I was so excited to get this one from him.
I love the animal print on this Esprit top. I think it's so fun and classic, which I love.
I mixed this outfit with two of my favorite accessories, my Tory Burch flats and my Longchamp Le Pliage.

 Do you like dressing up?

Photo Diary: My Homemade Birthday Apple Pie

Hi ladies,
May was my birthday month and it was so much fun celebrating it with family and friends. Ever since J. and I are together he bakes an several apple pies on my and his birthday. 

May Empties

Hi ladies,
at the end of every month I get excited to take a peek in my empties bag to see how many products I have finished and share them with you.

Outfit of the day: neon pink and navy stripes

Hi ladies,
I think this will be my last long sleeved ootd for this season, because the temperatures have gone up! I can't wait to share more summery looks with you now that it's a lot warmer. But for now, here's my last spring outfit for this year.

May favorites: Caudalie, Nuxe, Shu Uemura,...

Hi ladies,
I had such a great time in May. We had a lot of sunny days and high temperatures, which I enjoyed a lot! As a consequence, I adapted my make-up and skincare routine.

Photo Diary: The Body Shop party

Hi ladies,
Friday I posted the purchase of the month of May. I hauled my purchases from The Body Shop at the member party.

Purchase of the month: The Body Shop

Hi ladies,
this month The Body Shop gave a little member party. It was a lot a fun and I wanted to show what I bought that night.

Spring outfit of the day: polka dots

Hi ladies,
the European royals are a great inspiration to me. I think they have a great sense of style. 

April empties

Hi ladies,
today I wanted to share my empties! I love finishing products. It's nice to use up a product and make room (for new ones haha). I finished some skincare, shampoo, perfume and shampoo. So it's a wide range of products.

Photo Diary: King's Day

Hi ladies,
two weeks ago we celebrated King's Day, which is  celebrated on king Willem-Alexander's birthday. It's one of my favorite celebrations! It's his first year being a king, so it was his and our first King's Day.

Spring floral look

Hi ladies,
Happy May! It's the first Friday of the month again, so it is time for another Friday's Fancies. This month's theme is floral, which I love wearing during the spring. I hope you like this outfit :)

Purchase of the month: French Pharmacy: Caudalie, Bioderma, Avène, Nuxe,...

Hi ladies
I have finished quite of few of my skincare products and I'm not going to France any time soon. So I had to make an order at one of my favorite French Pharmacy websites.

April Favorites: L'Occitane, Estee Lauder, La Roche Posay

Hi ladies,
Although I'm super excited it is almost May, which is my birthday month, I can't believe how fast time flies! I actually have a wide range of favorites this month

Spring outfit of the day: Nautical

Hi ladies,
every spring I love wearing nautical pieces. Striped shirts, navy and a pop of red are such classics, yet they never get boring. 

Photo Diary: Chocolate workshop

Hi ladies,
I recently went to a chocolate factory to make chocolate truffles and a chocolate box. I wanted to share some pictures, because we had a great time making everything!

March Emties: Rituals, Clarins, Clinique

Hi ladies,
Empties are my favorite posts to make and to read. It feels so good to finish a product and to clean out those bathroom cupboards.

Quarterly Mascara's: 1st of 2014

Hi ladies,
After seeing Kristin Gehm's video Mascara Madness, I decided to start doing a similar blog post. Every quarter I will share the mascara's I have used during those three months. This way I throw out mascara's before they expire.

March favorites

Hi ladies,
I know I'm a little late this month, but I wanted to share my favourites of the month anyway.

Rainy Spring look: April Showers

Hi ladies,
normally we have pretty rainy weather during spring. However this year, spring has been wonderful. We had a lot of sunny days with high temperatures. Last year around this time I made a super colorful Rainy Spring look, so this year I couldn't pass it up and made another bright look.

Happy Friday!

Photo Diary: Weekend getaway @ Beach, the dunes and wild horses

Hi ladies,
a few weeks ago, J. and I went away for the weekend. We visited a little beach town, which has beautiful dunes. 

Spring outfit of the day

Hi ladies,
The trees started blossoming and I started swapping out my warm winter sweaters for spring clothes. I also picked up a few things that I showed in my spring wish list. I'm excited to start wearing my spring wardrobe again, so I thought it would be fun to share my first spring outfit of the day (and year!).

Purchase of the month: L'Occitane en Provence

Hi ladies,
No matter what season, I love burning candles. I even burn candles in the middle of summer! Now that spring has sprung I wanted to change out my candles and get a floral candle.

Clarins Facial Treatment

Hi ladies,
one of my favourite skincare brands is Clarins. So when I heard I could book a facial with a Clarins beautician at my local beauty store, I got super excited! I got a Clarins face treatment done on Friday, which was a great start of to my weekend.  

Make-up look: March

Hi ladies,
I'm totally in the mood for spring, because we had some wonderful sunny weather the last few days. I already started wearing some fun and vibrant colours as you may have seen in my spring wish list and my spring look. I also starting wearing a different make-up look.

February Empties

Hi ladies,
this is my 200th post! I can't believe I already posted that many times on my blog. I'm very gratefull for all of the sweet comments, lovely followers and friends I have made because of this blog. I'm so excited and I can't wait to continue my journey with you! 

Today I wanted to share one of my favourite things to post, which are my empties. 

Spring Look: Neon lime green look

Hi ladies,
Although radiant orchid is the colour of the year, I've been obsessed with a few different bright neon colours as you might have seen in my spring wish list. I especially love lime green accessories. So I made a look with some accents in this colour.

February Favourites

Hi ladies,
as you might have seen in my travel make-up bag, this month was all about pink! I didn't chose on purpose all pink products and I didn't realize they were all pink until I had taken the picture. Isn't that a fun coincidence?

Photo Diary: Alps

Hi ladies,
I went on a trip to Austria a week ago and I absolutely loved it! I already started organizing all of the pictures that have been taken. So I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourites.

 

Spring Wish list

Hi ladies,
it's starting to get light longer and the weather is a lot sunnier, which brings me in the mood for spring! I'm tired of all the dark colours and I want some fun and bright pieces in my wardrobe. Here are some of the pieces I have been eyeing!

Products I want to use more: February update

Hi ladies,
at the beginning of this year I shared I wanted to use certain beauty products more often in my make-up routine. During January and February I started using some of the products I picked for this little project. So I thought it would be fun to share those with you and give an update on how I'm doing.

TLC (Tender Loving Care) tag: Winter edition

Hi ladies,
I just returned from my lovely vacation in the Alps. I had such a wonderful time doing winter sports such as (après-) skiing! And I really enjoyed spending time with my family. Although I love the snow and the cold weather, it does take a toll on my skin as it becomes more dry. During vacations like this my skin definitely needs some extra Tender Loving Care!

Purchase of the month: Guerlain Météorites Perles

Hi ladies,
as soon as I heard Guerlain was changing the formula of the Météorites Perles, I knew that this was going to be my February purchase of the month.

What's in my travel make-up bag: Winter Sport edition

Hi ladies,
I really enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics on television. I love supporting our Dutch team and I have great respect for all those talented athletes. I'm actually going to Austria on vacation to do some winter sports myself! So I though it would be fun to share what I'm going to bring with me on holiday.

Valentine's Day look

Hi ladies,
Happy Friday!
Friday next week is already Valentine's Day. Therefore, this month's theme for Friday's Fancies is a date look.

Hi ladies,

Beauty on a budget: Bourjois Healthy mix foundation

Hi ladies,

Hi ladies,
this month just flew by, didn't it? Although I already shared what I have finished from my project pan 2013 in my round up, I wanted to

January favorites

Hi ladies,
as you may have seen in my make-up of the month, I have been loving a natural look. So I wanted to share some of the products I have really enjoyed for the last month.

Beauty Resolutions 2014: Products I want to use more

Hi ladies,
at the beginning of this week I did a roundup of my project pan 2013. For this year, I wanted to do something a little different.

Make-up look: January

Hi ladies,
I love changing up my make-up, especially when I have new beauty products to play with! Most days, I haven't been wearing foundation or eye shadow, as I have been loving a more natural and simple look. So I though I would share the make-up I have been wearing lately.

Project Pan 2013: Roundup

Hi ladies,
before I share my new beauty resolutions for 2014, I wanted to end Project Pan 2013! 

Purchase of the month: Chantecaille The Wild Horses Palette

Hi ladies,
Chantecaille is one of those brands I never had heard of until I started reading beauty blogs. Immediately I was intrigued by this high-end beauty brand. I never purchased anything, until I heard about the Wild Horses palette.

My 2014 resolutions: one step at a time

Hi ladies,
every year I like to have a few new year's resolutions. Often my resolutions are similar to most people's goals for the year. However, this year I wanted to start the year a little different.

 

Friday's Fancies: January

Hi ladies,
the new Friday's Fancies is once a month in stead of once a week. So for this week's theme is new year, new you! I decided to make an outfit that I love to wear, because that is one of my new year's resolutions: do more of what I enjoy!

Happy Friday!

London beauty haul

Hi ladies,
after Christmas J. and I went to London for a few days. We enjoyed our little city trip. The weather was lovely and all of the Christmas decorations were still up. Before going on this trip, I made a wish list. Although I didn't buy everything I had planned, I'm happy with everything I got!
