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 ;)

What I'm wearing 

-Asos bathingsuit
-Prescription Rayban sunglasses 

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.

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?!

What I wore - Wedding edition

Hi babes,

Ah summer, the ultimate weddingseason. The best part? I got to go to the first wedding within my friendsgroup. Last weekend my sister-in-law and her girlfriend, Melanie got Married. Hooray!

What I wore - Crop tops and midi skirts

 Hi lovelies,

Today is the first time I felt like blogging in almost half a year. Lately I just wasn't feeling it. During the previous months I used the excuse that I was just so busy with school and I really didn't have the time and although that's true... It's not the whole truth because I was bored with blogging. It felt like a chore instead of the thing that I used to love. At the end of April I tried to do a shoot for outfit pictures. I call it 'shoot' but technically I just kept asking my girlfriend to take pictures until she was sick of me asking. These are the pictures that made the cut.

 As I mentioned these were taken at the end of April and only now I'm finding the courage to even begin writing something surrounding these photographs. There is only so much you can say about clothes so I'll keep the outfit information short and use this blogpost as a life update.

 What I Wore 

                         Crop top - New Look

                Floral midi skirt - New Look

                       High heels - Asos

                              Bag - Zara

What else can I tell you besides the fact that I really didn't want to blog?

The past few months I was quite busy with school. From the taking classing till interning and taking exams, it was quite hectic. For the first time in years I passed every single subject and got fantastic grades so I'm quite proud. I can finally go on to my last year of nursing school. I honestly thought that I would never get there as I have been studying and failing for this long.

Since the start of summerbreak I've been focusing on doing a lot more things with my new found free time. 'So much room for aktivities'. Besides working I took a trip to the beach... twice. I had a great time both weekends. I went for walks with friends, went out for food and drinks, went shopping (way to much shopping, trust me). I felt like I didn't make the most of my free time as I'm always watching shows in bed. Now that I'm getting out of the house more I feel more content with my life. It isn't always the biggest thing that I'm trying to do, it can be just going for a walk with the dogs or going out for drinks. Even those small things has stopped the feeling that I'm waisting precious time doing nothing. You're only young (and without responsibilities) once and I realised I should be making the most of it (or at least more as I'm taking baby steps. Let's just accept that I'm never going to be a partyanimal that goes out till morning every weekend)

Besides the fun stuff I just mentioned I've also started working out. After seeing these pictures I realised that I gained a few pounds (to put it lightly). I've started running a few weeks/maybe even months ago. During exams and the heatwave a few days ago I stopped but I'm trying to pick it up again.

My summer has been great so far, let's hope it continuous to be as nice.

How has yours been?

Goodbyeeee

F*ck it - The final thought before making a desicion

Hi lovelies,

Last week I wore an outfit I personally really like so I decided to feature it on the blog. I love knee high or over-the-knee socks but I'm usually a bit afraid to wear them because people tend to stare. Sadly enough they only come out the closet on the days I feel most confident and can face the stares. I should really learn to care less about other peoples opinion.

                                                                 Cardigan - New Look

                                               20 deniere stockings - Zeeman

Get Ready With Me - Long Overdue Christmas Edition

Hi lovelies,

Remember a long time ago when I promised a get ready with me Christmas edition? Even though we're close to February now, the day I finally managed to photograph every step of the way has come. By this point it's probably more for my own memory that I make this because by this time it really has got no point anymore. Anyways... prepare, get yourself a cup of coffee and observe.

Let's start with hair. When my hair was almost dry I spritzed some heatprotectant by L'oreal Elnette for curls in my hair. When my hair was dry I curled it with a spiraled curlingiron. When I was done I applied hairspray, brushed the curls out and removed the frizz with mermaidhair texturising spray by Got2Be. Add a glittery hairclip and you're done. 

Prep the skin by removing all of the remaining make-up or sleepiness with some micellair water and hydrate your skin with your favorite moisturiser. I used the Vitamin E aqua boost sorbet moisturiser by The Body Shop. 

 I always start with eye make-up before I do my face make-up just to prevent having to start all over again because of glittery fall out. I started with using the L'oreal Colour Riche pencil in Enigmatic Brown as an all over base. I made the colour more intense by using Dreamy from the MUA undress me too palette in the outer corner and under the lower lashline, Fiery in the inner half and shy in the inner corner. All from the same eyeshadowpalette. I applied winged eyeliner using the pearlised black liquid liner from NYC. Made my lashes look a whole better by applying the Physians Formula Organic Wear mascara. Lastly I used Matt Abdul from the Meet Matt Nude palette from The Balm in my eyebrows.

 For face make-up I used Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in shade Ivory. Catrice Camouflage Cream in light beige went under my eyes and around my nose. I bronzed up the face with my trusty Essence sun club bronzer for blondes. I applied a rose blush with golden glitter on my cheeks using Sleek's rose gold blush. Last but not least I used Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Pleasure me Red. 

My dress is from Zara, thights from Veritas and heels from Pepe Jeans. 

Even though this post is very very late due to interning, exams and other parts of life I hope you still enjoyed it.

What I Wore - Punk Boohoo Edition

Hi lovelies,

I promised a boohoo-haul months ago but since that still hasn't happened I'm guessing it's going to be in a lookbookform and today will be the first one. The dress and cardigan are both from boohoo. The fashionblogger-dress just needed to happen. I couldn't not buy it. It's also sooo comfortable, it feels like wearing pajamas but when paired correctly it doesn't look like you just stepped out of bed. I advise a big scarf and cardigan. My pictures with the scarf turned out crappy but the outfit does look prettier with a scarf. I decided to go for a grungy-punky look. I like to throw those terms around, makes me feel cool. Anyways... I paired the boohoo tshirtdress with an oversized cardigan from the boohoo men's section, fishnet stockings and my new pair of vans.

Goodbyeeee
