 Yummie healthy tea!

Yummie tea from Celestial Seasonings. Green tea with honey, lemon and ginseng or the decaf version with mandarin. Yum, yum! I love it, not only for the taste, but the beautiful drawings too! These also contain white tea, which is also good for preventing wrinkles. Haha!

 Benefit beauty products!

My friend, who's working at Benefit, gave me these beauty products to try out!

Highlighter

The Porefessional

This cream smoothens your pores. Ideally to put as a base under make-up or as a regular daycream! I love the texture!

And last but not least: this cute make-up travelkit!

Little mascara, lipgloss etc. & small version of the Porefessional!

Everything you need for a short trip! :-)

Bye for now! <3

♣ Spotted - Tidy tights!

I love tights! I've them in all colours, smells and motives: squared tights, with flowers, knit motive... and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Name it and I'll probably have it! ;-)

Now, where do I usually buy my tights? Well, one of my favourite brands is Falke, because the quality is great! I also love Calzedonia, an Italian store solely devoted to tights, tights and more tights! Oh yes, also leggings and socks, and in summer: bikinis and bathing suits!

The Spring collection from Calzedonia is great! Look at those cute butterfly tights! I've a similar pair that I bought a few years ago in a Calzedonia shop in Barcelona, but they're getting old... maybe I can replace them by these beauties? :-)

Ciao, ciao!

✈ Toulouse - la ville rose

Here are some nice photos I want to share from my trip to Toulouse! It's a cosy town, but not much on the sightseeing part. The most important for me was to see my Erasmus friends again! <3

Carrousel in the city center... <3

Wouldn't you love to lick the window of this beautiful Naf Naf shop?

(Faire du lêche vitrine... or windowshopping ;-) )

A small break after all the shopping 'Au Jardin des Thés'

This café is the best for an afternoon relax. The best tea, from all over the world, served in the cutest Alice in Wonderland like tableware! <3 Their pies are also worth the while. I chose 'Mêli mêlo', a formule which combines three pies of choice. Worth mentioning is the banoffee pie, a combination of banana, cream and toffee. Love it!

My friend's cute bow :-)

(from My Little Box)

We discovered this cute little shop Fifi jolipois. Here you can buy a lot of pearls and other items to make necklaces, bracelets, brooches etc. Not such a craftsperson yourself? Don't worry, the salesgirls are more then happy to help you out and give you a lot of useful tips and tricks. There's also a blog with a lot of cool tutorials.

Look what I bought there! ;-)

But... what's that?

...

It's... it's... it's...

an Alice in Wonderland necklace

(quite easy to make this one!)

So, whatcha think? Let's book a citytrip to Toulouse! ;-)

♣ Film - Restless

Restless, by director Gus van Sant handles about life and death, and the things that happen in between. Enoch (Henry Hopper), an eccentric adolescent who's coping with the loss of his parents, meets Annabel (Mia Wasikowska) in very unusual circumstances. You can imagine what happens next: they fall in love.

Very moving, dreamy, fairytale-like film. Love the camerawork, the decors and... Annabel's clothes!

Perfect for a cosy night on the couch!

Get the look!

Bye! <3

 A. Warm. Hot. Bath. Mmm! :-)

After going around all day through the cold and snowy rain I love coming home and taking a warm bath. There's no better way to end a crappy day! :-)

Foam. Lots and lots of foam!

Bath foam from Mylene.

The facial scrub with coconut aroma and grapefruit body scrub are from Kruidvat. I love this drugstore. The house brands are also of good quality and more budget-friendly. :-)

Like my hair?

Washing glove for (big) kids from The Body Shop.

Meet Willy Washing glove ;-)

Shampoo, hair mask and Argan oil from Osmo. Nurtures and protects your hair. Love it!

Keeping myself warm after my bath in this lovely dressing-gown from Ikea. :-)

Good night fellas! <3

♣ Spotted - My Little Box

A French friend told me about this. My Little Box sends out little surprise boxes every month. The boxes contain beauty products, little gadgets, accessories and other nice surprises. You can enroll on their website.

My friend was wearing this cute bow the other day. So French! ;-)

♣ Wishlist - What I want to buy this Spring!

Some remains of Winter...

#1 Faux-fur gilet

Asos

I haven't risked buying one yet and now that Spring's coming I regret that decision, but if I find one on sale I'm not doubting anymore. I bet faux-fur items will still be hot next Winter!

#2 Earmuffs

They have been on  my list for a while, but  I haven't found the perfect pair yet. 

But I'm keeping my eyes opened! ;-)

Pinterest

#3 Headband for Winter

Same story. I think I'm too picky. I couldn't find the perfect one yet, so I ended up not buying any.

Found on this fashion blog

My Spring must-haves!

#4 Red jegging or skinny jeans

Vero Moda

A colour missing in my wardrobe. ;-)

#5 Marine sweater

Can you believe it, but I  still don't have a marine sweater. These timeless stripes shouldn't be missing in my closet. Time to go back to basics. ;-)

Vero Moda

I'm trying to recreate the Parisian look  I posted about a week ago.

#6 Neon!

I need a few neon items for Spring!

Asos top

Pink washed neon sweater (Pinterest)

Opi Neon nailpolish

#7 Aztec please!

I want this knitted vest!

Asos

I absolutely need to find an Aztec skirt! (Pinterest)

#8 Sequins!

A sequins sweater would be nice in combination with an Aztec skirt!

Pinterest

#9 Converse All Stars low cut

Time to have these classics in my wardrobe!

#10 Statement necklace

Gotta find one! Spotted this one at Parker & Cube

& Many many more!

♣ Scrapbook - Peacock inspiration!

I just love peacocks! Their colours, their tail. Really, in my next life I want to be a peacock... a male peacock! Here's my next Polyvore scrapbook! ;-)

I totally totally adore the peacock printed pants! Printed jeans are hot this Summer, so everyone should at least have a pair in their wardrobe! If someone can tell me where to score this particular pants in Europe, please, please, please, tell me! I'm totally in love! I like the combination of the green clothes with the petrol blue accessories and shoes! More information about this outfit here.

♣ What to shop in France?

I'm leaving for a short weekend escape to the South of France, namely Toulouse. I'm meeting my "Best Erasmus Friends" for some reminiscing, drinking, partying... I've never visited the city, so I'm quite excited about it. I love discovering new places. I'm still undecided though as to what to bring with me, since the weather changed drastically in the last week and I can only bring limited luggage (handpack). Of course that's not a big problem since I'm only staying three days, but I'm planning on doing some shopping. ;-)

Last time I went to France I discovered this cute lingerie store named Undiz. They have the cutest collections at affordable prices. I definitely want to have a look at their latest collection when I'm in Toulouse. Last time I went there I bought these two cute and colourful pyjamas. <3

I also want to stop by Etam. I know we have it here in Belgium too, but it's a bit cheaper in France. I'm especially interested in the swimwear collection and their fluo lingerie. Maybe I'll buy the marine bikini. I've a lot of coloured bikinis in my wardrobe, so it's time for more basic colours. :-)

Another brand I'm planning on looking for is Little Marcel. This brand has some cute stuff. Maybe I'll go for a simple top or the marine sweater?

Mmm, what about this Little Marcel beach bag? Marine style all the way. ;-)
