Shop til you drop!

Is there any better way to fight the gloomy rainy weather than by going shopping? You know what they say, shopping cures depression!

barely there

When it comes to nail polish shades, I ain't easily scared. I am tipically sporting a fun neon shade or an overly glittery polish but this season, I am going for something a bit different.

I am talking about nearly nudes, barely there polishes. With just a hint of color, these are my picks for the season.

oversized leopard

When I first spotted this H&M jacket hanging in their shop on rue Neuve, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I am a sucker for anything leopard and this oversized jacket fits the bill perfectly. It looks great with any basics in my wardrobe and I think I will hold on to it for years.

This weekend, as it got chilly and a bit rainy again, I paired it with an all black look for an easy to go outfit. And did you noticed that I got a much needed hair cut? More on that later!

Glossed

Clarins instant light natural lip perfector in rose shimmer, apricot shimmer & candy shimmer.

The most dangerous place on earth for me and my wallet recently has to be a Clarins counter. If you've watched my spring skincare video, you'll know that I went a bit crazy at their Printemps counter during my stay in Paris last March.

Now Clarins is a brand that I always overlooked for some reason. I used a couple of their products that landed on my shelves quite randomly and I could spend hours looking at pictures of the gorgeous Courtin-Clarins ladies but somehow, I never paid much attention to the brand. That was until recently.

I've found the perfect lip gloss. I don't even like lipgloss. Until I applied the instant light natural lip perfector in shade 02 apricot shimmer. Immediatly, I knew that I was in love.

The Prada skirt

This gorgeous Prada skirt is one of my favorite piece in my wardrobe. The fabric is amazing, it is stiff but light in the same time and the cut is to die for. Last weekend, I paired it with an all black look before heading out for lunch.

My spring skincare routine

As the sun finally decided to be back in Belgium, it is time to switch things up in the bathroom! Out with the rich creams, in with the melting formulas and fresh masks!

Here's what made the cut into my skincare routine!

Back to basics

When a sudden heat wave hit Brussels last week (yep, that's right, I think 24° is a heat wave in Belgium!), I wasn't prepared at all. I always get cold so my closet was still packed with cashmere jumpers and heavy coats, while all my summer shorts and dressed where hidden in plastic boxes in our basement (I switch my clothes twice a year to avoid feeling depressed in the middle of February by looking at tank tops and denim shorts -plus, it saves space!)
So here goes the spring outfit with my fall winter basics: my favorite faux leather skirt paired with a slouchy top and my new Mango sandals (the only "summer" item) bought while I was in Paris.
