Lazy feet

Not sure if it’s the fact that I can put them on in 3 seconds, I don’t have to tie laces or if I ever noticed them if Celine didn’t remodel them from Vans original design, but I LOVE the slip-on sneaker. When the weather gets warmer I intend to live in these Givenchy ones! And they are half the price of the Celine shoes so it’s actually saving money, isn’t it. ^_^

Gym motivation

Since summer is just around the corner, I try to keep my workout routine going. However, this does not at all mean I enjoy going to the gym when I’m cosy at home and it rains outside. And it rains a lot in this country! Therefore to keep me motivated I put a 2 euro coin in a jar every time I go to the gym. When I really go hard in the gym I put an additional 2 euro in when I’m home again. This way, I start moving, stop excusing and I can buy something I really want at the end of the year.

Win-win-win!

Back!

It’s been years since I last posted something. Or 3 months, basically the same! Sorry it took me so long. Every beginning starts with a fresh page, therefore I decided to keep the posts a little bit shorter and no longer written in dutch. I hope you enjoy the “new” blog!

SShhh..

There is a new sneaker in town! Last year luxury footwear brand Royaums revealed pictures of their first collection and yes, the wait is over. Crafted from calfskin and python leather, finished with spikes and suede they for sure will upgrade any off-duty look to ultimate street style cool. I already developed a major crush on the Marion, a navy sneaker made out of python print calfskin leather. While I try to come up with reasons that justify buying them, I’m sure they will sell out in a nanosecond..

Oh oh oh op deze manier gaan we helemaal failliet maar: er liggen nieuwe sneakers in de winkels! Het merk Royaums kondigde de collectie vorig jaar al aan en nu is het zover. De sneakers bestaan onder andere uit slangenleer, studs en suède. Ik zou ze werkelijk met alles combineren: blousjes, gebreide truien, sweaters… Ben jij net zo verliefd op deze schoenen als ik?

Whether you’re single or in a relation, staying in or going out, ladies let’s all look fabulous today! : ) Lately, I love to wear pastel shades, stunning lace and super heels. What is your favorite outfit of the moment?

Wat draag jij op deze donderdag de 14de? Doe je iets speciaals aan omdat het valentijnsdag is of vind je het erg commercieel allemaal? Ik ben de laatste tijd verslaafd geraakt aan subtiele pasteltinten, elegante broeken van kant en hele hoge hakken! Wat is jouw favoriete outfit op dit moment?

The summer is magic

 

And so are these espadrilles! I cannot wait for the summer time to come around. It’s the time when you can do your workout outside, have BBQs with friends, mums don’t have to battle their kids to go to school and you can wear espadrilles!

I absolutely adore these flat shoes ever since Toms introduced theirs. During a trip to Argentina in 2006 Blake Mycoskie became friends with children who, he noticed, had no shoes on their feet. Born out of a desire to help these children he created Toms, a footwear brand that matches every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. Of course the Chanel ones are adorable too but my favorite ones remain Toms. One for one.

Terwijl het in Nederland gisteren (alweer!) sneeuwde, ben ik alvast aan het dromen over de zomer. Heerlijke BBQs buiten met vrienden, niet meer binnen naar de sportschool gaan maar gewoon een rondje door het park rennen en.. we kunnen dan ook weer zomerschoenen aan! Mijn favoriete zijn espadrilles van Toms. Het merk is in 2006 opgericht door Blake Mycoskie. Tijdens een reis door Argentinië raakte hij bevriend met kinderen en merkte op dat ze geen schoenen droegen. Hij dacht geen moment na en richtte meteen Toms op, een schoenenmerk dat voor elk gekocht paar een paar schoenen schenkt aan kinderen in nood. 

Natuurlijk zijn de espadrilles van Chanel super maar mijn favoriete blijven Toms. Wat vind jij van deze espadrilles?
