How to style a New Years dress two ways - Classic

Hi lovelies, 
I promised you a more classic New Years Eve look so hear it is. I wear the same dress but combined in a different way. Let's take a look?
What do you need : 
- The same open back Zara dress
- A blazer for outside
- A pair of heels
- A cute necklace
- Earrings
- A basic (or extravagant if that's what you fancy) clutch
H&M pineapple necklace from a couple years back
Vintage clutch from my grannie; big plus about this one, it has a build in mirror for touch ups
New Look lace pointy shoes
Back Detail. It has a leather waist, very nice
For the make-up for this look I chose : 
- NYC Smooth Skin Mousse Foundation in 701 Natural Beige
- Sleek Rose Gold Blush
- Essence Sun Club Bronzer in 01 Natural
- Catrice Eyebrow Stylist : 020 Date With Ash-ton
- Mua Undress Me Too Eyeshadowpalette : Devotion-Dreamy
- Chanel Eyeliner : 66
- Hema Mascara
- Maybelline Color Sensational : Pleasure Me Red

I hope you have a fantastic evening.

How to style a New Years dress two ways - Edgy Chique

Hi lovelies,
For today's post I'm letting you see how I styled my New Years Eve dress in 2 different ways. I went for a more classic style which you'll see tomorrow and a more edgy look to be seen below. I chose this outfit to show that there are other options than the regular heels and blazer combined with a red lipstick (hint hint for tomorrows post). 
 For the outfit I opted for the staple in this mini-series : A black open back dress from Zara (39.99€) combined with : 
- A leather jacked to face the cold on your way to the party
- My trusty pair of black all stars because who wants to have painful feet on a night out
- A black clutch that goes with everything
- A tooth necklace to edge things up and break the dress because it doesn't have a deeper neckline
- Earcuff earrings and my stretch on the other side
- A cross bracelet

Earring from New Look last year
Necklace from H&M 2 years ago
As for make-up :
- NYC Smootch Skin Mousse Foundation : 701 Natural Beige
- Sleek Rose Gold Blush
- Essence Sun Club Bronzer : 01 Natural 
- Maybelline Mastersmoky Eyeshadow pencil as a base : Smoky Grey
- MUA Undress Me Too Eyeshadowpalette : Exposed- Corrupt
- Essence longlasting eyeliner in black
- Hema Mascara
- Catrice Eyebrow Stylist : 020 Date with Ash-ton
- NYC Smootch proof lipstain in Champagne Stain

I personally love this look and hope you do too.

Goodbyeeee

Nails of the day #11 - Money never sleeps

Hi lovelies, 
I feel like all Christmassy posts should go up before new years and because I started late with the Christmas spirit I have to hurry now. Which means I'm uploading every day. Jippieeee? This post is a nailpolish post. It's been a while. I bought a new nailpolish on boxing day. I got on a 2-for-5-euros-discount. I chose a sparkly green one which when applied is the perfect Christmassy green/Christmastree colour. Perfect for this time a year. It's called Money Never Sleeps by NYC.
 
I took pictures with my mothers camera and this is the best I could do, I can't handle that camera so the colour looks a little different. It's more warm green in person

Goodbyeeeee

It just doesn't get prettier than this - An ode to christmas selfies

Hi lovelies, 
Aaah Christmas, what better time to take many a selfie? I went for weirdest faces possible so brace yourselves. My brother joined in for some selfies after a photobomb. I also wanted to add that that isn't an actual hair accessory but the giftwrapping from my dads Christmaspresent and I just went for it. It's in the trash now, you don't need to worry.
Let's start with the most normal of the bunch, from now on prepare yourself
Duckface taken to a whole new level. We reached ostrichface...
Not impressed, Just NO
I could easily play a part in a horrormovie with this expression
This is my grumpy cat impression
Photobomb!!!

Christmas Decorations and Food

Hi lovelies, 
Christmas is officially over and that means time for Christmaseveningpictures. In todays blogpost I offer you a look into my livingroom, some food and drink pictures and pictures of my Grannie.
One of Christmasprezzies put to good use
For Dinner on Christmaseve my family opted for a cheesebuffet but because I don't eat that I made myself chickencurrynoodles in the wok. Very Christmassy, no?
We also went for Christmaslunch the next day. This was one of the food options, the other option was something with scampi's but because I don't eat either of those options, yes I'm a very picky eater, I opted for chicken with fries.
My desert, Creme Brulee, which is fancy but delicious pudding
Lovely accent in an Irish Coffee
A quote in the wrapper of my bonbon
On christmaseve I also snapped a few pictures of my grandmother and I liked them to much not to feature them on the blog
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas

Goodbyeeee

The Weekender Edition #3 - PreChristmas weekend

Hi lovelies, 
We are the weekend before Christmas when I write this and considering I had a lovely weekend I thought 'Why not make a weekender edition?'. After my usual lunch at my grandparents place I went over to my girlfriends place. It was date-day because not only did me and Anais have each others company but also Aida (next sister in line) had her girlfriend over. Just as her brother. Late at night the picture-taking started. 
It started with Sushi in hoovercatposition. 
Continued with Aida and her girlfriend Demi acting all cute and stuff 
 A while after that we saw Sander and Sandy sneaking outside and we started a mission. We laughed so much during this. Me and Aida crawled all the way to the door to keep an eye on those two. We did get caught but it was worth it. 
 Kittysnuggles
After getting ready we went into town on Sunday. You could see my What's On My Face-post here. We went for a little shopping and some drinks. We sat right beside the Christmastree. Doesn't it look pretty?
Cappuccino 
My lipstick smudged and that's when Demi handed me this amazing tissue. It's so awesome. 
Selfie-time
We had so much fun.

Goodbyeeee
