One shoe wonder :)

I've always hated Wednesdays. Considering that, today wasn't too bad. I had time to reconnect with people I had lost touch with over the summer and to get to know people I never really talked to better. After an initial period of intense anxiety in the morning (that I sorted out with a brisk walk and coffee during my skip) I actually had a very lovely day. 

I started studying French! I only have two courses scheduled so far, but if all goes as planned, I wish to continue beyond that. Since I did a bit of French in middle school (with extremely poor success), I am still pretty much ahead of most of my classmates. When we get to the area I lack in, grammar, I'm sure they will catch up real quick...This time around I swear I will work for it, because I really want to learn!

My boyfriend made me dinner today and we hung out and watched the biggest loser :) Perfect way to wind down.  I also got a ride home. I don't know what I've done to deserve such a lovely bf (but it must have worked)! :)

The floral playsuit my bestie, S, bought me from New Look. A black knit from H&M. My wellies...sorry I'm getting so boring. I swear I'll wear different shoes tomorrow!!!

Barely visible- my single pink nail among the blue ones. I thought it was funny and cute,  people at school were just confused :P

As you can tell I've started to include a bit of music in my posts as well. I don't really know if anyone's interested, but music is the only thing that keeps me sane when things get stressful so I think I'll keep posting songs here when I feel like it.

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow

Today was chaotic (to say the least). I had every intention of wearing something devastatingly gorgeous, show up and stick it to the people who love to make life hard for me. The weather seemed to disagree. I ended up going all autumny (layers, coat,hat, wellies etc.). I was completely drenched once I walked in, so I think my great entry looked like a sad, wet mouse sneaking down the stairs and slipping on the final one. Yep, that's me. 

We only had school for a few hours and all of it was homeroom, which just turned into a massive argument between the loudest folk. Though I think that I'm very capable of voicing my opinion I had no interest in getting caught up in all that drama. It got so bad people actually stormed out. Haha. Thank god I don't have to take this for much longer.

There were funny parts to the day as well, like seeing all of our epic teachers and giving them a HUGE round of applause. It was also cute/funny to see the new firsties arrive (H's little sister in tow).
It was a blast seeing my friends again and we went to mcD's to hang out and gossip about the day and giggle for a few hours before heading to town to pick up some school essentials (krhm, eyeliner...). Were back to our old trick of planning trips and events.So I can feel a good year coming on.


On one hand I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I know that my mates are there for me, but some people I'd rather not have to face again.
So sorry about the rant (but I HAD to take it out somewhere!!!!).


OOTD and other stuff:

Replay wellies, Levi's jeans (I do love my denim labels), an anchor-t layered under a basic grey knit and what I call the lovechild of a trench and a blazer (from MONKI). I totally ignored the accessories (BAD ninja), but I did manage to throw on a hat.

As I was leaving my mother had to mention that she thought that I looked like a hobo...I don't know about that but I do like a lot of hoboish clothes (there I go with the inventing of new words again...)

I got home a little peed off from today so I re-organized my shoes and bags and jewellery (some pictured)

That didn't help so I took a nap and lit some lily-scented incense afterwards. I feel a bit better now.

Looking forward to tomorrow: new day-new clothes :P, hanging out with H after school, going to IKEA during our skip-lessons with my mates and having art with one of my favourite teachers (lovely, slightly bohemian and gossipy).
This week I can also look forward to seeing one of my favourite bands, Flogging Molly, play at a night-club :) An added bonus is that one of my best friends (J, who I hung out with today) is joining me for it. More about that later, though!

Channelling Glasto

It was rainy again. I saw my wellies and they reminded me of pictures I've seen of Glastonbury style. I went all the way and did the whole wellies and shorts thing and I think I'm going to have my own imaginary festival in my bedroom with a lineup of my choice and just jump around and freak out like I was in a mosh pit :)
I FINALLY got my bestie back from France and the UK. Thank goodness. We caught up at the fleamarket, where we both made very good finds. The girl literally showered me with gifts (including a gorgeous floral playsuit from New Look and lots of food).Later we bummer a ride home with H, which was pretty funny (we had a little party in the backseat).

Crocker cut-offs paired with a flowy top with lace details (Gina Tricot) and an extended waistcoat (MONKI). Accessories include a little handbag with a quilt-print and sunnies in the style of Lennon.

My new wellies put to good use!

Owl pendant from my Belgian godmother 

Brooch with chain tassels from MONKI

A (faux) fur hat that I just HAD to buy. But hey, it only cost a euro. And me, looking ever so fresh *cough, cough*

Levi's jeans and beige trousers from Zara. Also got a pair of Zara jeans (not pictured)

I didn't even buy these. I mention to my friend that I need new ballet-flats (the Zanottis are almost dead) and hey-presto there's a pair waiting for me in her bag. God, she knows me well!

I've been craving for a great pair of biker boots, ta-duh!

White slim Chucks

A parka from H&M kids, boy's section.

There was the creme de la creme of my finds ;) There's quite a bit more, but I'm far too lazy to post all of it. 

The rest of my second to last day of holidays is going to be spent over a pile of magazines, mozzarella pizza and the clotted cream fudge my friend (let's call he S, shall we?) brought :) Perfection. Road-trip again tomorrow!!! :)

Enjoy the rest of your summer lovelies

When life gives you lemons, scramble the letters and make melons

This morning I posted that we'd be heading to the summer house. Well something came up, and we had to stay in town. So instead we went for a walk around town (I love that he lives in the center!) and I did a bit of accidental (but much needed!) shopping. I also took him to meet an old friend who works in town and later we split a yummy bagel and a doughnut. mmmmm....DOUGHNUTS!
Because we missed out on a roadtrip today, we're gonna drive down to this really lovely old sea-side town to pick up his parents tomorrow. Can't wait!

OOTD: 

A patterned top from Turkey and my trusty TOPSHOP shorts (yep, I didn't pack too many clothes for this week :P)

Topped off with an apple-pendant (barely visible, sorry!) and a cross between moccasins and gladiators (from H&M)

shoes shoes shoes. a woman's best friends:

Gorgeous wellies from replay. They almost look like riding boots/bikers...(I'm having trouble deciding)

Basic black canvas-shoes with a platform. Perfect for a pint-sized little lady like myself!

Some of the day's jewellery:

I ordered these from ASOS a few weeks ago and finally got to wearing some. Today's choices were the bike and the flippers. I'm saving the hot-air balloon (my fave!) for later :)
