Bloopers

Since I have been getting quite a bit of good feedback the last time that I posted 'behind the scenes' or blooper photos of outfit shots, I've been adding more funny/weird pictures to my folder and now that I finally have gathered a couple of them again, I thought I'd make another post like this! These pictures show everything from random little dances, weird face expressions and pure sillyness that you would encounter when taking pictures of me.

November Inspiration

After days of drinking too much coffee and being too tired and lazy to update the blog after having done a lot of Uni work, I am free-ish tomorrow afternoon once my essay is handed in. This'll mean no more deadlines for me until January, hopefully giving me more time to focus a bit more on the blog again. I will still be busy doing things here and there, getting a headstart on my next assignment but I'm motivated to blog more again and actually have quite a few post ideas I'm currently working on, so stay tuned and enjoy my this month's inspiration board for now. If you want to see more like this, do follow me on Tumblr  and/or Pinterest!

Simplistic: Black & Navy

sweater: monki skort: asos boots: new look via asos

As mentioned a few posts ago (in this one to be precise), I've been developing a thing for the navy-and-black-combo. I still remember reading or hearing about how you "should never wear navy and black together" but as so often in life and especially in fashion - rules are made to break. (look at little rebel me)

I'm a little bit disappointed at the quality of these pictures, but I'd been meaning to shoot pictures of this combination for a while now, so I'll just make it work this way. Obviously, it takes no great skill to put together an outfit consisting of a navy skort, black sweater and boots, but I personally look at this outfit as more of a base for inspiration than a look for itself. Considering that I only dressed up to take pictures for the blog, I felt like I put enough effort into this simply by getting out of my pyjamas on a Sunday and putting on make up, so if I actually wore this on a day where I leave the house, I'd probably add some jewellery, a big scarf, an interesting coat, etc. Do you have any favourite colour combinations at the moment?

PS: I swear I'm not as pale as I look in these pictures.. close to it, yes, but I haven't gone completely white (yet)

ALEXANDER WANG X H&M

Even though I'm a little bit late to the party (as usual), I finally took some time to really look at the collection Alexander Wang released for H&M a few days ago. I've personally never bought anything from a designer collaboration with H&M (shock of the year), simply because the prices still put me off to do so or I never really bothered to really look at what the designers had created. I'd been seeing little sneak peaks of Wang's collection on other blogs, so I kind of had an idea what was coming our way this year. Some pieces I really like, some I find absolutely hideous but in general, I love Wang's concept of sporty day-wear. One of my favourite things about the collection is probably the amount of neoprene used and the boxiness of a lot of the pieces, giving off a little bit of a masculine vibe at times, while there's still plenty of body-con dresses to be found. If I were to spend some money on the Alexander Wang x H&M collection, I'd probably buy some of the things I put together in the picture above. (even though I wouldn't actually get the backpack - it's real leather :( ) What do you think about this year's collaboration? Have you gotten yourself anything?

3 Oufits I'd like to wear

link to my polyvore

Alongside the usual black and grey palette that always comes back around this time of the year, I've been loving the combination of black and navy more and more. The skirt and cropped sweater outfit was actually inspired by my own clothes, as I'd been planning to wear something similar for a while now but never got around wearing it and taking good pictures. I'm currently too broke to afford anything new, so I got myself dreaming a little bit on Polyvore and put these 3 outfits together. I can't decide which one's my favourite though... what do you think?

PS: If you want to help out my empty wallet (or just have a sneaky look at my clothes), then go on and head over to my DEPOP! I've been adding a few items recently and more will probably be added over the next couple of days/weeks.

Leather, Knit and Fake Fur

sweater: asos pants: river island fur gilet: ebay shoes: zara bag: bershka

Today's weather is nothing like yesterday's forecast, it's rather cold and crisp but the sky is blue and the sun is shining so I immediately took the opportunity to wear some items that I won't be able to wear much when it's raining. I got my fake fur vest last Spring but never really wore it that much, especially as the only way I really liked wearing it was combined with my leather jackets. On the occasion of it being sunny, I opted to only wear a sweater underneath and I love the way it looks! To keep it simple but interesting, I added my leather pants and white shoes and bag and voilà - this is probably one of my favourite looks I've worn so far! As you might be able to tell, my friend and I took a lot of goofy pictures and it was a real pain to get some good pictures because it was always either too bright or too dark (#bloggerproblems), so I decided to make this a less serious outfit post, because why not?

Warming & comforting lentil potato dish

Happy first of November! On the occasion of the new month starting and also the fact that it's World Vegan Day today, I finally got around taking some pictures of a recipe I'd been meaning to share with you for a while now. When it comes to Autumn or even Winter, one of the most important things for me is to have warm food, especially in the evening. In my opinion, there's nothing cosier than eating a big bowl of soup or curry on a cold Autumn night. As I love cooking and experimenting, I let myself get inspired by the numerous recipe videos I watch and threw together a poatato-lentil-pea-soup/stew/curry/whatever you want to call it! It's really easy to make, doesn't require big cooking skills and can easily be adjusted with extra veggies, etc. I decided to make this a 'read more' post, so if you're interested in finding out how to make one of my currently favourite hot, comforting meals, then go ahead and click the button! Do let me know if you tried making it :)
