What I'm wearing - Asos bathingsuit

Hi babes, 

How are you? As I'm writing this I'm getting mentally prepared for my summer job which starts tomorrow (for me, today for you). I'm so nervous, I really want to do well as this is a job in the field and institution I'd like to work in in the future. I've already interned there so that's great but also means they have higher expectations, ones that I'd like to meet. Aaaah so nervous but let's hope it will be fine. 

Let's rewind to last month when I was still sunbathing in the South of France. Ah better days, chill days. Today I want to highlight an Asos bathingsuit. I haven't worn a bathingsuit since I was obligated to do so in a school swim class when I was 15 years old. I've never felt comfortable in them and felt I had to compromise a certain femininity when wearing them. I felt like a giant dork and well plain ugly in them. Luckily the tide has turned. This season especially I've seen many a feminine and sexy bathingsuit. Swimmingsuits have stepped it up a notch. Asos had such a great range of swimsuits I wanted to order like twenty of them but that's a bit outrageous when you only have like ten swimwear-appropriate-weather-days a year. 

I've decided to go for this one with a deep V neckline in the front and back. Its held together underneath the boob which makes you feel more secure. It prevents you from feeling like your boob may pop out when swimming, diving in the water or just general moving. I actually did the test, dove in the water and everything did stay tucked which I cannot say about any of my bikinis... Anyway the bathingsuit also has cute ruffles in the waist. I found this to be quite flattering and different than most bathingsuits. 

Somehow this blogpost turned into a bathingsuit review but hey, that's okay. At least I'm converted and maybe you should try one on too ;)

A little bit of goofballery doesn't hurt right? This is what happens when you get tired of akward posing and being told your posture is shitty.

Goodbyeeee

What I'm Wearing - Lilac Beachdress

Hi babes, 

It's been awhile since I've done an outfitpost but I've somehow managed to get Anais to take my pictures whilst we were on vacation in the South of France. To be honest it's been awhile since I've posted in general. For some reason the blog always gets forgotten when my life gets busy. For the end of May and the whole of June I've been interning. It was a great experience and I've loved every minute of it but it was so busy with finals and my thesis-type-project that there was basicly no time left. After that I graduated, yes I know finally. I'm so excited to finally have a degree. With that accomplishment in the pocket it was time to celebrate so I went on vacation to the South of France where these pictures were taken. Even further into July I went to a festival and now we're here. I'm finally editing the pictures from France and uploading them. The peace in my life has returned but it won't be for long because in August I start my summerjob and who knows when I'll find the time to blog some more?!

Where I've been - Ghent citytrip

Hi babes, 

Last Friday I went on a citytrip to Ghent. It's easily my favorite city in our small country. I lived there for a year when I started Uni. My grades were anything but great and I moved back home. I didn't really complain about it and grew to like going to school in Hasselt but... Now that I went back for a day I am smitten once more. I got a sudden feeling of homesickness. Even though I only lived in Ghent for a year, it did/does really feel like home. I never realised how much I missed the city. Probably because I've gotten myself in a new routine. Now I can't shake the feeling of wanting to move back yetI don't know if that's possible at the moment.

Anyway my homesickness aside; I usually use a citytrip as an excuse to shop excessively. Not this time though I planned a few things and told myself to only go into shops that I don't usually shop at if I see something special. Does one really need to go in another H&M in another city, probably not. I planned to go see the Design Museum, go see the exterior of the Gravensteen (I'd been inside before), walk through the Patershol and just see where the city takes us. 

Me and Anais started our day (after our usual train delay and Nikki tantrums because these always happen at one time or another --') walking 'round the Gravensteen. Later moved on to the Design Museum. I really loved this. It's really different from the usual museum as it doesn't consist of only sculptures and paintings. Besides it's really fun to oooh and aaaaah over things you recognise or still have at home. Especially the section where they feature things from the sixties until now, you'd recognise more than you think.Yes Tupperware saltshaker and Belgacom telephone I'm talking about you. Once done at the museum which I can definitely recommend we went for a coffee at Barista near the Patershol, walked through the Patershol en continued our walk through the city looking for food. The more I walked the more I felt homesickness and stomach pain. (I won't go too much into this but it ruined the rest of my afternoon and we had to go home early) Later on we did a few more shops and went for a couple of drinks but eventually went home in the late afternoon because I felt like crap. Even though my day started sucky and ended crappy I still had a great day and hope to be back in Ghent soon.

Goodbyeeeee

Another magical Disney adventure

Hi babes,

I hope that by this point everyone knows that I'm a giant Disney fan. I've made it my lifemission to see all the movies (multiple times if possible), I still secretly love Disney Channel, Hannah Montana till this day is one of my favorite TV series and I've made multiple visits to Disneyland Paris (DisneyWorld is still on my bucketlist). You may remember I took a trip down to Paris last year but with all the bad luck you can hardly call that trip a succes so we booked another one for Christmas 2015. Jep I went again. Luckily this trip turned out to be more succesful. There are a few pro's and con's about going to Disneyland around Christmas that I hadn't considered when we booked our trip. 

Con's

- Christmas means more people, longer cues, difficulties to find a good spot to eat at lunchtime, lots of traffic on the way to Disney,...

- Alongside with my previous point goes that you'll not be able to go on as many rides as if you were to go on a different time in the year

- It gets cold and wet at this time of year, even if the weatherman told you it wouldn't. Don't make the same mistake we made and bring a thick coat that can handle the rain.

Pro's

- The Christmas parade is freakin' amazing

- Sleeping beauty's castle is prettier than you've ever seen it before

- Christmas decorations throughout the entire parc are pretty amazing

- You can buy Christmas decorations everywhere, it's so pretty.

- You can buy nearly all of your Christmas presents at the parc. Pro Tip.

- Seasonal drinks at starbucks. Mmmmh yes

So eventhough I got upset that I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do, it was cold and I have a strong tendency to complain it was still a pretty good trip and I still enjoyed myself. Things that put my out of my comfort zone that make me deal with going about life without planning everything, are a good thing right? Well, you live and you learn.

Goodbyeeeee

Disneyland Madness Day 2

Hi lovelies,

I'm going to continue my Disney adventure story so if you haven't caught up with part 1 yet, you can read that here. I already told you that we got dropped off at the Davy Crocquett Ranch a couple miles from the Disneyland park and we are stuck there without a car. You'll understand that that's not ideal. We spent the entire morning trying to book another night and getting a taxi to the park. We managed to book our cabin at half the price so a big thankyou to the Davy Crocquett Ranch. They were so helpfull and understanding. Especially Celine, you go Celine <3 but anyways we lost half a day making the arrangements, meaning we only had one day instead of 2 days in the park.

My girl in the frontseat with our taxidriver. You can say whatever you want but the reception knows how to get you a fancy taxi. Damn what a great service.

Once in Disneyland we ran straight to Starbucks, after all that stress we needed coffee. We decided to eat there too and treated ourselves to cinnamonroles and pancakes.

Finally made it to the park!!!

The mandatory picturetime

Waiting in line at big thunder mountain

The Robinson cabana 

Indiana Jones and the temple of Peril

 Time to be a Princess!!!!

Inside the castle 

In the castle aka more PrincessTime <3 

We almost got it, pinkypromise 

 I wanted to go in the teacups so badly, the rest on the other hand wasn't so impressed and said no :(

This is were I got my veto, no teacups for me, no it's a small world for you. MUHAHAHA.

 Wall-E Love

Those faces 

Happiest moment ever. I vowed before we took our trip that I would have pictures with at least one Disneyfigure and it happened, YES!!! But kids nowadays have it a lot harder. When I was a child all the figures and princesses walked around constantly and you could get pictures and autographs so easily. Nowadays you can only see a few of them and only at certain moments. To meet the princesses you even had to make an appointment. So sad I'm glad my autographbook is pretty much filled from when I was a kid. 

 In line at the Rock and Roller Coaster, where we almost died again. We got fastpasstickets before we went in line so that we could go again right after without waiting.When we got out we ran towards the fastpass entrance and that's where they told us they closed the rollercoaster because they had technical difficulties. Escaped possible death again! I wish I was being dramatic here but we had the worst of luck this weekend, everything went wrong.

The park also closed sooner on Sunday which we forgot so we almost missed the dreamshow. I was irritating everyone because I was constantly saying that I wanted to see the dreamsshow and I missed it... When that thought dawned on me I cried, not only a single tear I cried hysterically. I was so excited and had been looking forward to it and I missed it. But Anais didn't give up, grabbed my arm and ran with me to Main street. Turned out I didn't miss and I got to see the last 10 minutes. Okay I still missed most of it but I was so glad I got to see the finale. I really do have the best girlfriend ever <3

We were standing at the very end so she lifted me up so I could watch the show in complete awwww. (Those extra 'w' are neccesairy) Yes people stared, no I didn't care. I'm a child at heart and the biggest Disneyfan so again thank you Anais for being the best girlfriend ever. 

The morning after. Another day full of disappointments. The insurance told us we had to wait for our car till possibly Wednesday so in my head I already planned a trip to Paris, I was seeing the Eiffel Tower, I was shopping at Sephora, walking around all the streets, eating macarons but no none of that happened they made us wait at the station all day instead to than at the last moment say 'hey, we are going to send you home in 15minutes with a train'. We were so disappointed again, we really wanted to go to Paris. We missed most of our vacation in Disneyland because of all the problems with the insurance and we figured it will all be worth it when we get to stay an extra few days and visit Paris but those plans didn't happen :(

I did have a great time in Disneyland but we just had a lot of setbacks.

Goodbyeeee
