Wanderlust

Wanderlust is a word that fully describes the way I am. I wish I could live that word every day.

What I love to do is to watch and share pictures I take while discovering new places. When looking back at those pictures I feel these strong and happy memories of what were the best days of the year.

The 3 C’s I’ve never been to that are on the top of my list for visiting are:

1. The Coast line of California
2. Costa Rica
3. Canada

What is your dream destination to wander? 😉

#OOTD: Camo look

I have been wanting to try out the camo trend for a while now and I scored this rather cheap camo shirt during sales and decided to wear it to go eating with my girl friends yesterday. It’s a really chill look and if it was getting too hot I could just put the shirt in my bag because it really didn’t take any space!

Have you guys tried the camo look? Let me know in the comments below! 😉

The lovely summer look of my garden

In today’s post I just wanted to share these pictures that I took in my garden!

Isn’t nature the most perfect thing ever? I just love how the flowers look and I’m so happy that I was able to shoot some pictures of the bees and the butterflies on the plants!

Let me know what you think about my pictures in the comments below!

Wishlist Chi Chi

Hi fashionistas,

Today’s post is all about the Chi Chi Blogger Competition for which I had to create a wishlist if I wanted to have a chance to win a £200 voucher for their webshop. I decided not to create a random list of the dresses I like. This time I wanted to create a whole outfit with details that make the dress ‘a dress to impress’.

Chi Chi is a brand of the cutest dresses! Most of the dresses on the website are really chic and I could have combined them all with high heels to look really classy, but I decided to pick 2 of them. I wanted to make 1 really chic outfit and another one more casual! This is the result:

 

The first dress is one that I really love! It’s the Chi Chi Yasmin Dress. As I told you guys in my introduction this is the one that I combined into a casual outfit! If I would win the competition and I buy this one I would probably be able to style it in a million ways but I decided to use it for more of a festival look! I combined it with Converse All Stars, a Filles à Papa cap and a YOLO bracelet that they sell at Forever 21.

For the second item on my wishlist I chose the Chi Chi Eldora Dress because a girl can never have too many little black dresses right?! I made this more of a classy and expensive look. I  combined it with Valentino shoes, the Cartier love bracelet, a Michael Kors watch, a Valentino clutch and a Chanel nail polish iPhone case. The items I combined it with are all items that I hope to buy one day if I win the lottery! 😉

If you want to participate on the contest you surely can! Just click here to read all the information about the contest and let me know about your wishlist in the comments below! You have until tomorrow (21/08/2013) at 5pm to post your wishlist if you want to participate on this giveaway!

What did you think about the outfits I styled? Did you like the classy one better than the casual one, or the other way around? 😉

Favorite Instagram accounts: Part 1

Among the 312 Instagram accounts that I’m following I have around 25 accounts that are my all time favorites and as I love to discover new accounts myself, I decided to share my favorites with you. Every Saturday for at least the next 5 weeks I will be posting 5 of my favorite accounts and I absolutely invite you to check out those accounts yourself!

The accounts I generally love the most are those of the famous fashion bloggers who get to travel the world! I’m truly obsessed (in a good way) with their adventures! Among the profiles I post about you’ll also find accounts with amazing photography, health motivation, yummie food, the nicest collages, creative DIY’s…

Today I introduce to you the following 5 accounts on Instagram:

1. Sincerelyjules:

The account of Sincerely Jules is my all time favorite account! I love everything that this L.A. girl does: her blog, her clothing line, her way of traveling in style etc. To me it seems like she has everything a blogger can dream about! She is so pretty and has this amazing tan! The fashion projects on which she collaborates are the coolest and I’d love to meet her someday! The blogger events where she was that I liked the most (from the pictures) were the ones with Mango in Ibiza and Barcelona and RewardStyle in Cabo! I just loved the pictures she shared of those events! I’m still dreaming of owning one of her pieces of clothing! I love the Célfie T-shirt, but I really like the Off Duty- and the Dream, Believe, Achieve-sweaters too! So inspirational! If by any chance you would be reading this post, I have this message for you Jules: ‘Keep up with the blog, because you’re doing a great job and you’re inspiring people from all over the world! You make me want to become someone with a great style and you inspire me to travel more often and to dream, believe and achieve!
