Wishlist ⎟Craving staple

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great week. Mine has flown by so quickly, I can't even get how sunday is about to be over soon. The weather has been rather poorly so I couldn't take any proper blog picture. Today I went to the movies to see The Little Prince and oh boy, It was so good! I cried, laughed and was absorbed by the story throughout the two hours! I read the book when I was younger and the movie definitely do it justice. Such a strong, beautiful story.

Now, I'm just here watching TV with a glass of wine while online shopping. Currently, I'm craving staple items. I feel like my wardrobe lacks some good staples for fall. My first staple items craving are dresses. I lack some serious dress game. I just have ordered this white victoriana dress - after seeing it on Laura - I just knew I HAD to have it too. It's a bit on the gaudi side but if you tone it down with a little leather jacket, it is really gorgeous. The other dress I really have my eyes on, is this gorgeous midi black & lace piece. How stunning?

Boots wise, I'm craving more and more black booties. I already got one pair from Zara last month, and now I feel like these would fit right in in my wardrobe. Black, classic and with a little edge- the silver buckle or the croc print.

Other items I really need to stock up on are stripped and white t-shirts - because that's all I seem to wear these days -  a black pair of jeans - this one is perfect because it has the girlfriend cut which gives it a more laid-back feeling -and I absolutely need a khaki hat for this fall. Then, in the makeup department I think I'm all set : I just need some more nude lip colors which is what I wear every single day. I have tried the red lips look, but I always come back to my nudes!

Last on the list, is my dream bag. This is the staple of all staples : Chanel double flap bag, caviar leather, medium size with silver hardware - haha I know exactly the one I want. I have started to save money to buy it before my 30th birthday (I have some time ahead). It's my new life goal basically, haha!

1. Hat: Zara (here) // 2. Stripped t-shirt: Zara (here) // 3. Bag: Chanel (here) //4. Croc booties: Nelly (here)
5. Victoriana Dress: Topshop (here) // 6. Girlfriend jeans: Topshop (here) // 7. Black dress: Topshop (here)
8. Buckle boots: Zara (here) // 9. Lipstick: Nars - Shade Barbara (here) 

Floral for fall

The weather got me like : fall fashion mode ON. No but really, I think I have been so over this weather that I can't stop but dreaming about fall. Even though it seems like sunny days have come back where I live, I think my brain just turned off any summer vibe and just want to buy all the fall stuffs. I spend hours online looking for all the new fall collections - and then sh*t happens and I click "confirm order".

I can't even think about buying a bikini or little white crochet beach dress. The excitement of summer has just dropped like a failed soufflé. Onto my early fall wishlist now:

Just a little grey knits (2, 4) - here - , just because it's what you live in during fall.

I already bought this Kimono (1) - here - and it's the perfect day time little piece. You could easily dress it up with a statement necklace or a red lipstick and heels. I have been living in this and my girlfriend jeans (8) - here - 

The fall floral dress (3) - here - . Paired with a leather jacket and little boots... walking in the crisps leaves with a cup of Starbucks. I can't wait!

The black little plaited skirt (5) - here - which is my number 1 winter staple. It always look good with a leather  jacket or an oversize sweater and boots.

Talking about boots (6, 9), here's two of my favorite so far  - here - and - here -

And finally, my dream bag, still to this day is the Phillip Lim Pashli (7) - here - but I am waiting patiently in case they release it with nickel hardware, I'm over my 'gold' obsession so now I only want to wear silver!

I can't be the only one day dreaming about fall fashion already....or I am ? haha

A few summer basics

Hello girls! Summer is just around the corner and here's a few things I have order lately. I have been feeling like wanting to spruce things up in my closet lately. Out with the old stuff, in with the new! I even did a closet sale on saturday and it actually wasn't that bad to get rid of some of my 'old' - last year - favorite items!

 I needed a lot of new basics, so here's what I got so far:

 Ripped jeans - these ones are the Lucas from Topshop, I got them today and they fit so well! They're  a straight leg jeans and they look super laid back. Add a little pair of mules and a lousy top for a perfect evening summer look.

Grey tee - I got this top in white, black & grey. The perfect everyday long sleeve ribbed top.

White blazer - Nothing screams more summer than a white long line blazer. This one is so perfect as it has a bit of a masculine vibe to it but it's still super chic. Perfect to dress up or for a more casual day look. 

Espadrilles - the perfect white pair from Asos. Espadrilles + a good pair of ripped jeans = the perfect summer combo!

 Leather black bag - I needed a new shoulder everyday black bag and I have found this one on the tiptop website. I love the leather material and the two zips on the sides, it gives that extra edgy look. 

Highlighter - You need highlighter all year round but even more during summer. That extra glow is always welcome! One of my favorite lately has been the 'Glow' in Gleam by Topshop. Look at that rose gold packaging! 

Mules - If you haven't already...you need to get yourself a pair of mules! They're my new favorite heels for summer. So easy to walk with and really comfy. It also adds an extra edge to any of your outfit. Love!

Denim shorts - The ultimate summer look. To be paired with a white shirt and some espadrilles. 

These are kind of items you can wear over and over again during summer time, for a comfy day out or just add a pair of mules and you're good to go for drinks at night with your girls. 

You may have noticed that I added a little extra on my wishlist, the Balenciaga wallet. This wallet is the ultimate basic. It's pricey but it's also timeless. To get or not to get?

Wishlist ⎟ Floral for spring? Groundbreaking

This is my blogging walk of shame, yes.... I haven't blog in a month and a half. This is a new record!! I'm going to spare you the usual 'Life has taking over....winter is never-ending' and just let you know that I'm back to blogging more regularly. I have been online shopping A LOT lately and most of the things you can see on this wishlist are already on their way to me, haha! I have been buying every single pair of jeans Topshop has to offer and stocking up in spring sandals and white t-shirts. 

This year I don't feel in the mood to buy pastel or floral skirts - and I usually am a sucker for anything floral. No...this year my heart belongs to anything black, white & denim. I just love to wear a good pair of ribbed jeans with sandals and a white tee. The monochrome look is so effortless and let's be honest very safe as you can't go wrong. No prints, no colors, no risks taken haha!


First thing first...I have a new love affair with the Hayden jeans from Topshop, I'm telling you!  After buying basically every pair of Jamie jeans available, now that spring in here, I just want to wear boyfriend jeans. The Hayden from Topshop is THE perfect boyfriend jeans shape. I'm obsessed!  

After looking for ages for the perfect cream blazer, this white blazer from Zara has been on my mind since I read this post from Monikh (here), I adore it but I'm not sure how I'll be wearing it. I just know I need to get it before it gets out of stock. I feel this might become one of Zara's "must have" item and everybody will try to find it on Ebay by this summer. Go get it while it's still available, haha!

On the shoe department, yes I actually want to wear mules! I find them so feminine, chic and edgy. I'm still not over the fact that I didn't get the gorgeous pair Zara did last summer but I have my eyes on two pairs: one from on the chunkier side from Topshop and the other one, much more delicate from Asos. 

Last on the list, is this biker leather jacket from Zara. My oh my.... I'm considering splurging 200€ on this little gem, yes I AM! - Can we mention how Zara is going crazy with their price range lately too?   -I have tried it on last week and it fits me like a really gorgeous glove. I have been thinking about it since then and I know I will regret it forever If I don't get it before it's gone! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break, this weekend has been so full of naps and food I now feel ready for the week to come. I promise I'll post something else than wishlist and instagram recap very soon, haha! 

1. Dress: HM (here) / Mules: Asos (here) // 2. Biker jacket: Zara (here)
Jeans: Topshop (here) / Sandals: Zara (here) // 3. Top: Topshop (here)
Jeans: Topshop (here) / Mules: Topshop (here) //4. Sandals: HM (here) // 5. Ballerinas: HM (here)

Wishlist ⎥Monochrome

Hey everyone! Here's a little monochrome wishlist. Black and white is all I seem to wear these days.
I even got called as a waitress in a restaurant this weekend, that's how embarrassing my love for monochrome has gotten haha! I am really excited with the new spring collection, I basically spend an hour every day going online and looking at all the new stuffs. I'm DONE with winter and with wearing massive coats and boots. All I dream about is flats, leather jackets and a tee. No scarves, no gloves. Just bliss.

My hours at work have gotten so crazy that I'll be getting home even later than before. I'll try to post as much as possible...it can't be worst than my posting habit during january anyway haha.

I hope you're all doing good!

Wish list ⎜winter essentials

Hi girls! Here my wish list for my winter essentials from SheInside. I'm in a mood to wear a lot of grey, winter dresser and striped sweater. How cute is this white collar trend? I love it! Also, nothing can beat a cosy maxi cardigan on cold days. The two dresses are super pretty, I love the one with the faux sweater on top of it! I do find it a little bit hard to wear dresses during winter time as pretty much all of my dresses are very summer-y so these two picks will be a great addition in my closet!

Which item if your favorite?


1. Grey maxi cardigan (here) // 2. Grey loose knit cardigan (here)
 3. White sleeve striped sweater (here) // 4. Floral dress (here) // 5. Collar dress (here)

Wish list ⎜ Christmas

Hi girls! Happy sunday. I'm really tired from a long week of working and learning how to drive. I'm already mid way through my driving  cursus so by the 11th of December I should be able to drive by myself and this is a rather scary thought haha!

Here's my Christmas wish list. I had to add a little bit of Chanel, a little bit of makeup and a little bit of tech. I don't have any particular need this year except maybe a new phone as mine is getting quite slow. Also, I know that the Lorac Pro palette is not new but I never purchased it back it the days and I suddenly feel the need to have it as I'm getting a little tired of my Naked palettes!

I'm off to practice my driving skills and then I'll be cooking all afternoon long. This how I roll on sundays! Have a nice day :)

Wish list ⎜3 winter outfits

Hi girls! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I can't even believe that Christmas is around the corner. I have already started wrapping presents now I just need to put my little Christmas tree. I hope that my boyfriend is getting all the hints for some present ideas I have been talking over and over and over again, haha!

Here's a little wish list with three outfits perfect for winter.

1. The every day cute and basic with a cream turtle neck and a leather skirt. It's the kind of outfit I love wearing on cold, sunny days. My obsession with turtle/polo necks seems to grow every day. How come I was so reticent of wearing them in the past? They're so comfy and keep you warm without having to carry a scarf everywhere with you.
Turtle neck: (here) // leather skirt: (here)

2. The Christmas party outfit. Yes!!! My favorite kind of outfit. Bring on the glitz and the glam. My outfit of choice for a Christmas party would be this gorgeous floral Zara dress paired with those metallic heels. Also, I would add an over the top earmuff, I find them so edgy and fun!
Floral dress: (here) // ear cuff: (here) // heels: (here)

3. The white coat. This is my favorite style for this winter, I have ordered mine last week and I think it might arrive tomorrow. I'm super excited, I have been looking for the perfect white coat for so long now. It looks so cute and winter-y. You could also wear it with leather pants to spice things up a little bit.  White coat: (here) // boots: (here) // bag: (here)



What's your favorite winter outfit?

Wishlist ⎟Autumn thoughts

Zara bag (here) // Zara hat (here) // H&M duster coat

 Yankee Candle Soft Blanket // Zara boots (here)

I can't believe I'm actually craving fall at the moment. It's only mid-august and I call think about is chunky khaki sweater, a new pair of black boots, lighting up candles everywhere, crispy leaves, burgundy accessory and hats. I blame it on the weather!

It has been raining all day and it's a public holiday today in Belgium so I'm just lying all cosy in my bed, watching tv-shows and scrolling through Zara and Asos to spot some ideas for this fall. Is it too early to start fall shopping? I can't even look at sandals and summer skirts. I crave dark colors and warm outfits. I know I'll regret saying this by mid-november as as soon as it gets cold and grey I'm just over it and crave spring all over again.

Also, this fall will be even more exciting for me as I'm now blonde so I'm going to be experimenting more with colors, dark lipsticks etc. And it's also my birthday in a month, I'm super excited as I'll be off work for a week and going to Disneyland Paris! I have so many great things planned for my week off,  I'm counting down the days!

I'll try to blog this afternoon as I have a lot of new things to show you.

XO,MARILOU

Wishlist ⎪In with the new

1. Zara sweater basic (here) / 2. Nike Air Force 1 / 3. Zara statement necklace (here)
 4. New Look leopard espadrilles (here) / 5. Mango biker denim jacket (here) 

I don't know about you girls, but I'm d.o.n.e with summer sale. Done with messy clothes, messy stores, 2011 old collections (Yes H&M, I'm looking at you!). All I want is the stores to get can to normal so I can actually venture myself in it and have a proper shopping sesh, without the frantic people everywhere looking for 'the last piece'. I have been shopping online for this whole month, I can't even deal with how people get during summer sale - you could get push for a frumpy t-shirt, that's how tense it gets. Also, end of summer sale means one thing = fall collections arriving! My favorite fashion time of the year. I can wait to see what will be in stores for this fall, I'm already dreaming about that perfect coat I'll get!

Until then, here's my wish list. I'm getting a bit hood as you can see with those Nike Air Force 1. They're gorgeous although I never thought in a million years I would wear such trainers but must imagine it paired with a simple pair of jeans, a grey t-shirt, a statement necklace and a blazer. The casual hood chic look! Also I die to get this Mango jacket but it's nowhere to be found in the stores apparently you must order it online. This jacket is the perfect combination of denim rock sophistication! Also on my list, this gorgeous Zara Necklace and those  leopard espadrilles from New Look. A girl always needs a little leopard in her life, right?

I hope you liked this wish list, now I'm off to read my new book 'The Secret' then I'll probably binge on the second season of Orange is The Black all weekend long whilst shopping online :)

Summer beauty lust list ♥

Zoeva rose gold brush set // Essie 'Find me an Oasis' // Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan
L'oréal Miss Manga Mascara // Laura Mercier Primer // He-Shi Express Liquid Tan


Yes, it is time for an other lust list! Summer is just around the corner and I have so many beauty products on my mind for that occasion. The most important ones are the fake tans. I'm a #faketanholic, I live for a tan skin without using UV. I just love the feeling of looking tan all year round, although it might go a bit patchy or over tan from times to times, it does make me feel better about myself. I have been using religiously my Xen Tan Absolute Dark Lotion for a year and it's one the best I have tried. I love to use it on my hands, my feet and my face, it gives such a natural lovely tan.

Body wise, I find the Xen Tan dark lotion too slow to dry because of the moisturizing texture, I'm always applying fake tan at crazy hours - like 10 min before going to bed - I don't have too much patience for it to dry hence my love for the St Moriz Dark Lotion for body applications. It's super dark and dries really fast. I'll give you such an intense tan, it's definitely of my favorite but as a fake tan holic, I always have the need to try new brands. On my lust list I have the Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan and the He-Shi Express Liquid Tan which I have already order on Feelunique.  I can't wait to try it! It's more on the pricey side but I have heard so many great things about it so, we'll see!

I also am in great need of new mascaras. I'm so picky when it comes to mascara but I have a few favourites that I have repurchased alraeady such as L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes and the Cover Girl bright green one but I wanted to try a new one so I picked the L'Oréal Miss Manga one because it's pink and everyone raves about it!

Nail polish, I'm craving anything pastel so this Essie baby blue nail polish is right up my alley. It looks perfect for summer! I'm also dy-ing to get my hands on this Zoeva gold rose brush set, how perfect? I already have many brushes but these are the most gorgeous brushes ever and they're quite affordable although they're looking super chic. Last on my list, is the Laura Mercier Primer. I need a good primer for hot summer days and this one is apparently amazing, I'm tempted! I hope it's also a pore refiner..you know how these pores get outta control during summer time!

Summer wishlist ⎪ Pastel envy

Yesterday was amazing, I had such a great day off. Relaxing, napping, blogging, eating in front of the TV and a lot of window shopping on my favourite fashion websites - Asos, Topshop, Zara and H&M. I have a major pastel envy at the moment, I feel it's super girly and adds a lot of femininity to an outfit. I hope I'll find that baby blue dress at H&M, it will be perfect for a wedding I have to attend in september!  The sunnies are a bit over the top but I can't resist a good old floral. I also am on the hunt for the perfect nude flat shoes for this summer and these topshop ones are gorgeous! 

Time to go back to work after a wonderful three days weekend, not gonna lie it's a bit hard but as long as I get my Starbucks I'll be good :)

Skirt: Topshop // Dress: H&M // Top: Topshop // Sunnies: Asos

 Earrings: Asos // Ballerinas: Topshop

Monday wish list

H&M trench coat  // Asos midi floral skirt (here) // Topshop ripped jeans
Zara bag (here) // New Look nude heels (here)

Hi lovelies! Here's a quick wish list with some gorgeous items I've had my eyes on. I have been shopping my life away recently, giving my wardrobe a fresh makeover. From skirts, to basics, to jackets, shoes and of course bag, I feel like I needed to get some new things as my style has changed a lot from student at uni to working girl - sounds very mature writing this haha.

I do still like wearing over the top skirts when I prefer the longer length now, it's much more work appropriate and it's so elegant too. I feel so ridiculous wearing mini skirt, like a little teenager which I'm clearly not anymore! I'm obsessed with that Zara messenger bag, it's such a good running errands bag when you don't need to carry a lot of things with you.

The nude heels from New Look are to die for, totally work appropriate yet no kitten heels and still wearable for a night out after work! Score! I find them so hard to find though, they're sold out everywhere.

The next item is that trench coat from H&M. I actually already got it but I had to put it on my wish list to show you guys how pretty it is! It's a very soft material so it doesn't look too 'police officer' and it's very light weight as well which is perfect for summer nights. I also have my eyes on some ripped pairs of jeans from Topshop and Zara. They're not very work appropriate but I'm just obsessed with anything ripped, it gives such a cool laid back vibe to any outfit!

I'll try to film so of my outfits this week to make a weekly lookbook 

of what I wear to go to work or to go out. 

Have a lovely monday until then!

Wish list ⎥ Put your party hat on!

Hi girls! I have a little party outfit wish list for you today. Summer is just around the corner and so are summer parties! I know that in the UK girls go clubbing in those summer outfits all year round but personally I just can't go out in the freezing winter with a tiny dress. That's why I love summer, you can look good without the shaking legs from freezing! I'm pretty much hibernating all winter long from clubbing and partying then as soon as the weather gets better I'm all over buying dresses to party!

 There's nothing like a good night out with your girlfriends, although I used to be a big party club girl I have now settled a little bit but I still love going out and dress up. I just love how over the top you can dress, bring on the lashes the heels and the sexy dress! For a perfect night out I would wear this gorgeous co-ord from H&M. How edgy is that trend by the way? I just love it, it's super sophisticated. I love the length of the skirt it balances well with the crop top tummy showing! With that co-ord ensemble I would wear some super edgy shoes like those Asos transparent heels. As a clutch, I would dare the blinged one from Zara although it could be a little too matchy-matchy for daytime, for night time it's just so cool in my opinion! 

Makeup wise, I would definitely get my voluminous false lashes on - my favourite ones are the Katy Perry for Eylure in Oh Honey!  - and also a little bit of glow is super important to look good in the pictures the morning after hence the Topshop glow stick. As a lipstick, I would go crazy bright with those topshop lip cream & cream bullet. Nothing screams more party time than bright pink lips in my opinion. It's sexy and feminine, definitely up my alley!

I can wait for summer to arrive to get my party hat on!

The travel outfit

1. Monki Cardigan (here) / 2. Topshop sunnies (here) / 3. H&M blinged sandals (here)

4. Zara black shopper (here) / 5. Topshop white tee (here) / 6. Topshop boyfriend jeans (here)

Hello girlies! Here's a quick inspiration for a future travel outfit I will be wearing very soon, I'm still waiting for my orders to arrive haha. I'm so excited to be heading to Madrid in May for a few days. I really need some days off, visiting a city, eating great food and shopping my life away. I love city trips, they're my favourite kinda trips. I do love a good old vacation on the beach, don't get me wrong, but it's so exciting to visit a new city. I'm half spanish so I'm even more excited to going back to my 'roots' and eat some delicious tapas and gambas a la plancha. I'm not gonna lie, the fact that Zara is much cheaper in Spain is also a huge part of my excitement haha. 

That black shopper from Zara is the most gorgeous bag, not only for travel but also for a daily basis. It's quite roomy so you can fit all your life in it. Nothing can beat a good long cosy cardigan with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a white t-shirt. It's such a comfortable and effortless look to travel in style while not looking overdone or anything. To add a little glamorous touch, I'll wear that pair of blinged crossover sandals by H&M. They look so pretty, I already have the black version but these are to die for. I hope I'll find them in store in time. To finish the look, I will be wearing some sunnies of course as I won't be wearing any makeup - except the BB cream, the lipgloss and the concealer of course. 

Have a lovely day,

XO,MARILOU

Wish list ⎥Christmas is coming!

NYX Born To Glow ⎥ Massimo Dutti Gold Watch ⎥ Whitney Port 'True Whit' ⎥ Skindinavia Setting Spray 
Benefit 'Stay Flawless' ⎥ Milani 'Black Cherry' lipstick ⎥ Urban Decay Naked 3 ⎥ Yankee Candle 'Fluffy towels'

Is it too early for a Christmas wish list? I don't think so! It's never too early to start thinking about what you would like to get for Christmas. Although my biggest wish is me & my loved ones being healthy I wouldn't mind getting some presents haha. 

On the top of my wish list are two books. The first one is True Whit by Whitney Port. I'm such a huge fan of her, she is, with LC of course, one of my favourite celebrity out there. The second book is by Theresa Caputo from the show Long Island Medium. It's called 'There's more to life to this'. It's about her life as a medium and how she connects with people that have crossed over. I'm captivating by this show and all the 'life after death' subject so this is right up my alley.

On my wish list is also this gold watch from Massimo Dutti. I have been obsessed with it anything gold and chunky at the moment so this will be perfect to accessorize my outfits! Bling bling!  I also had to put a Yankee Candle on my wish list, everyone keeps talking about these candles and I've never tried them (is that shameful?). I would love to try first a fresh-scented candle like Fluffly Towels. I love the smell of clean if that even makes sense haha. I have found a store that sells them in Belgium, it's called  StoneManor and there's one in Everberg and one in Waterloo.

Finally in the make up department, I really would LOVE to get the Naked 3 from Urban Decay. I have the first one, the second I didn't like it all that much but the third one is my cup of tea. All these pink shades are perfect for green eyes like mine, yess! I definitely do not need this but it would be a nice addition to my always growing collection! I'm a sucker for anything that is promising to make my make up last longer so the Benefit Primer Stay Flawless & Skindinavia 10 years younger setting spray are definitely on top of my wish list. These are a bit hard to find in Belgium, but I really want to try the NYX Born To Glow (you never have too much highlighter) and the Milani Black Cherry lipstick (ditto for dark lipsticks!)

What is on the top of your wish list for Christmas?

Wishlist ⎥Black & tartan

1. Timeless Chelsea boots (here) ⎥ 2. Daisy street tartan skirt (here) ⎥ 3. Zara black leather croco shoulder bag (here)
4. Toast tartan trousers (same here) ⎥ 5. Zara should bag (here) ⎥ 6. Zara open ankle heel boots (here)

First item are my Timeless Chelsea Boots from Asos. Long story short, I've had such a huge crush on these boots three weeks ago and waited like a crocodile for the size 6 to get back on stock, ordered them from Asos as soon as a last pair came back and never got them. The mail man never came and sent them back directly to the warehouse (very, very weird.) Asos didn't want to sent them back to me (although they did it for another client in Belgium that has had the same issue as me) so luckily I got another 'last pair' and still waiting for them to arrive. Pray for me they will arrive this time! Those kind of chelsea boots will be perfect with pretty much any outfit. 

I've been eyeing on a green tartan skirt/trouser for a while now. I already got the red tartan shirt, which is such a staple item in a ward robe, but I feel that the green tartan is even more prettier and easier to wear in a way. I really wanted the Daisy Sreet skirt but it's SOLD OUT, damn! I'm keeping an eye on it in case it gets back on stock (it happens a lot on Asos). 

Then I've had some major fashion crushes for Zara at the moments. I have four bags on my wish list from Zara but I had to pick two so these are my two favourites. The black leather crocro one is a bit expensive (129€) but soooo gorgeous, I'm dying to get it. I need this kind of shoulder/evening bag in my life. Second one is more of a day time shoulder bag with some lovely gold details. And finally those open ankle boots are to DIE for. I know they're not very new but oh my, they just look so edgy and versatile. The perfect going out booties! I'm going to make sure they will be mine in a near future.

Little update : my Asos boots have finally ARRIVED! Thank god

------------------------

Le premier numéro dans ma wish list est une paire de bottes Chelsea (incontournable cette saison!) que j'ai déjà commandée sur Asos. Pour vous résumer l'histoire, je les ai vues il y a trois semaines et j'ai eu un énorme coup de coeur. La forme Chelsea parfaite (selon moi) pas trop courtes, pas trop hautes, fines et sans talons donc parfaites pour tous les jours. Malheureusement ma taille n'étant plus dispo j'ai guetté le site comme un vieux crocodile dans l'espoir qu'elles réapparaissent (comme c'est souvent le cas sur Asos). MIRACLE, j'ai réussi à avoir la 'dernière' paire en 39 (joie et bonheur + euphorie) et à ce jour j'attends toujours ma commande . En effet celle-ci n'est jamais arrivée, le facteur TNT n'est jamais passé et a renvoyé le colis chez Asos  en disant que le colis avait été refusé par le client, ce qui est juste impossible. Bon après plusieurs échanges avec le service client on me fait comprendre que c'est impossible de me renvoyer la paire et que je n'ai cas attendre qu'elle revienne chez eux et qu'elle soit remise en stock. (Petite info croustillante, une histoire similaire est arrivée à une autre twitteuse belge quasi en même temps et celle-ci à eu la chance de voir le renvoi de son colis accepté par Asos. Je précise que lorsque j'ai demandé le renvoi du colis, il restait une autre paire dispo en ligne en 39 donc cela aurait été faisable mais bon je me suis pris au moins 20 refus et j'ai eu la désagréable impression de devoir les harceler pour qu'on me dise ce qu'il s'est passé avec mon colis et pourquoi on ne pouvait pas me le renvoyer mais à une autre client oui... réponse que je n'ai jamais eue) 

Enfin voilà, franchement l'histoire me reste un peu en travers de la gorge mais je les voulais tellement que j'ai vite recommandé la 'dernière paire' avant même d'avoir été remboursée de l'autre paire. C'était un peu comme dans 24h chrono, j'ai du agir vite quand j'ai vu une autre dernière pair dispo haha. Heureusement car je vois qu'elles sont sold out maintenant. Bon j'attends toujours mon colis j'espère qu'il arrivera cette semaine (j'ai laissé un mot sur la porte pour le facteur en prévention) Franchement si mon colis n'arrive pas, je vais sérieusement envisager la théorie du complot... ça vous est déjà arrivé une histoire pareille? Moi jamais c'est la première en 5 ans de shopping compulsif en ligne. 

Sur cette joyeuse note, je continue dans ma lancée avec la mode du tartan. Autant je trouvais ça horrible il y a deux ans (so mamie), je trouve ça trop BEAU cette année, influençable que je suis. Mon choix s'est déjà porté sur une chemise rouge et bleue (un petit basique) et maintenant je zieute sur les modèles green tartan en particuliers cette jupe de chez Daisy Street (sold out mais on ne sait jamais) et ce pantalon. Imaginez la jupe ou le pantalon avec un petit pull fluffly blanc, des talons, une petite veste en cuir, un beau gros collier bling bling et un lipstick foncé... mmh!!! 

Et pour finir, j'adore la collection de sac chez Zara en ce moment. En particulier le sac noir en cuir et crocro (LE petit sac parfait pour sortir mais il coûte un bras, 129€...pour du Zara rappelons-le!) ainsi qu'un autre avec une hanse, beaucoup plus daytime et plus accessible niveau prix. Ensuite, mon méga coup de coeur du moment ce sont ces bottes Zara. Oh.My.God. Il me les faut, je vais me dépêcher car cela fait un petit temps que je les vois en ligne et je ne voudrais pas qu'elles m'échappent! Ces bottes sont vraiment parfaites, très rock, très glam et parfaites pour sortir. 

Update : mes bottes sont arrivées.......YES!!!

Wishlist #12

Bourjois Rice Java powder ⎪ The Balm Cabana Boy blush ⎪ Mac Rebel lipstick ⎪ E.l.f Stippling brush

YSL Youth Liberator foundation ⎪ Dior BB Cream ⎪ L'oréal Base Magique ⎪ NailsInc Baker Street

Since I have finished quite a few products this summer (a round of applause please) mainly foundations, primers and lipsticks I think I deserve to create a make up wish list with some of the things I might purchase in a near future. First of all, I need to restock on foundation as I have finished 5 this summer and I feel so empty now. I will be buying the Bourjois Happy Light foundation as I used it all summer long and absolutely loved it. I also have my eyes on the YSL Youth Liberator foundation and the Dior BB cream.

Next is the Bourjois Java Rice powder, I have heard soooo many amazing reviews about this that I just have to get it and see what the hype is all about. I also need to get my hands on the blush Cabana Boy from The Balm now that it's available in Belgium. Next thing is the Mac Rebel lipstick as I'm on the hunt for a very dark plum color for fall/winter, I think this may be the one. I also have had my eyes on the e.l.f stippling brush for so long but have been to lazy to order it so I might take the plunge and finally get this little baby.

The new L'oréal Base Magique is also on my wishlist knowing that I have a thing for any smoothing primer. And finally the oh-so famous Baker Sreet from NailsInc is the only nail polish I plan on getting so far.

What's on your beauty wish list?

Birthday wish list ⎥ part 3

1. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle // 2. Zara Messenger Bag with zips (here)  // 3. Zara coat with leatler sleeves (here)
 Lauren Conrad beauty book (here) // Chanel Volume mascara 

And finally, the part 3 of my very long birthday wish list is HERE!Can you believe I don't already have the Lauren Conrad Beauty book? I certainly can't!! I have already got myself the Zara bag and coat for my birthday as a little treat from myself to myself as they were only few sizes left and I knew that with my luck they would be out of stock by next week so... 

The Chanel Volume mascara has been on my mind for a while as my friend uses it and it makes her lashes look so incredible, I'm drooling over her lashes every time I see her anyway! And finally the Coco Mademoiselle perfume by Chanel is also on my long birthday wish-list as it's the girliest smell out there and it has something so elegant about it as well :)

Birthday wish list ⎥ part 2

1. H&M Shoulder bag (here) // 2. Kasturjewels necklace (here) // 3. Asos Party Earrings (here) // 
4. Nelly Biel Party Heels // Nars Place Vendôme lip gloss (here)

I think this b-day wish list will be a three part post :D Today is officially D-15 til my 25th birthday. I usually don't care too much about my birthdays but for some reasons I feel that this one will be special, not that I will have a mahoosive party but I just want to feel special that day and celebrate my 25 years of life and wish for a happy 25 years to come! I have so much I want to get, I'm putting all my thoughts in these post to make sure I don't forget a thing haha. This bag from H&M is such a stunning piece and will be perfect for fall with a oversized jacket. Next is this GORGEOUS necklace from Kasturjewels, oh my got! This is such a stunning piece of jewelry and it's on sale for half its price (I think I might get it for myself before my bday). Still in the jewel department, I have had my eyes on these Asos earrings for a while. They're so girly and fun to wear with a little black dress. In the shoe department, I have a huge crush on these gorgeous chunky heels by Nelly.  I need these for winter, that's for sure! And eventually this gorgeous lipgloss from Nars in the shade Place Vendôme is very much up my alley knowing that I'm having a bit of thing for anything pink at the moment.

Until the next bday wish list, I hope you all enjoy your first TGIF of September :)
