They say you can't buy style, but I sure do try

Yesterday I did my regular fleamarket/vintagemarket/secondhand store rounds with a good friend I haven't seen in a while and we had the best time! I found quite a few things I've wanted for a while, including a knitted vest and a bright red blazer (yum!). I'm sure you'll be seeing some of them one the weather cools down again. Later we had a nice long pizza lunch filled with gossip and other girly things.

A beige tunic from Part Two, MONKI boots, H&M cardigan and the H&M sunnies I bought last thursday.

After trying this colour I don't think that there's going back :)

Today's bag, vintage. My boyfriend thinks that it resembles an old sofa.I love it.

In the evening my boyfriend and I went out for a walk and then had a bit of a BBQ party on the rooftop with  his dog.

Sometimes in the winter I forget how much I love this city. But in the summer it's almost perfection.

The doggy!

My new (very) retro jumper :) 

An owl pendant sent to me from my Belgian godmother. She's got serious style!

One of my favourite feather-earrings

A nice steak dinner

Today's simple outfit. I apologize for the lack of pictures of it, but  I couldn't get a good one today (my boyfriend thinks it's because my forehead looks big today. Haha!).  Another one of my quirky thrifted dress shirts and my Topshop shorts.

New espadrilles (2euros thirfted, never worn. Great bargain!)

I have to mention the fact that I have the BEST best friend ever. I came home today to find a package waiting for me. In it a USB chord for and iPod and an iPod charger. I lost mine a while back and have been living without my iPod for too long(so very hard for me). That sweetheart had taken time out of her bus schedule (she's flying to the UK today) to drop them off. Awwww!

The rest of the day will be spent reading blogs (my not-so-guilty pleasure) watching Britain's next top model online (my guilty pleasure) and eating brown sugar and cinnamon pop-tarts (the guiltiest pleasure of them all!). I just finished drinking an ice cold Seattle latte. Perfect way to end a perfect weekend.

Wish you guys all the best!

Magic tricks

I will be making a disappearing act right about....tomorrow. So don't get TOO worried if you don't here from me in a few days (I know I've been anally consistent, but sometimes no can do.) First I'll be going on a bit of a road-trip with the boyfriend after which we'll be celebrating midsummer (do other people do it or is it just a nordic/pagan thing?) at my family's summerhouse with an array of family friends. If all goes well I'll be back by Sunday with a few outfit pictures and whole lot of other material (unless I get lazy or frustrated in my lack of skills, of course. In which case I'll come back with nothing). To appease my gods (you) I have an older outfit picture that will hopefully make you refrain from creating tidal-waves and such (haha, like I'm that special :P). Sorry about the fact that the actual outfit is pretty much cropped out, this was the only pic where I looked relatively human.

Outfit from a birthday party a while back: Zara floaty floral dress and my favourite MONKI blazer with a  bunch of bracelets and a bad hair day. Enjoy ;)

Mate with mates (yes, I know how it sounds)

Today's a public holiday (no exams!) so I went out on a picnic with some of my girlfriends. We had an abundance of food and drink including an Argentinian tea, Mate (or ma-tay). I was the first to try and it started out pretty strong, but as we passed it around it got slowly better and better. I'd describe it as tasting almost like a really strong version on green tea. Now I'm back home and studying for my history finals (woop, woop) and stressing out because the teacher promised us a hard exam...ew.

My favourite strappy flip-floppies, from a second had store. (and pink toenails!!!)

Mate and a little look at my outfit. Today I wore a paisley printed top from Zara, a Lindex knit and a pair of black jean-shorts. Also notice feather earring :) Despite the look on my face I actually enjoyed the tea a lot (and I had so much I had to go hunt for a loo right after). Fun social thing to do!
