Thrift shopping

Payday + holiday = thriftshopping! And I got lucky today! What do you think of the burgundy tommy hilfiger knitted sweater? And the levi's shorts? I've been looking for the perfect levi's for a long time and found these in the local thriftstore. I think everything looks pretty good together as well ^^.

By the way, this is post number 200 :) Yay!

Casual

Cardigan - Vila € 26,95 || Jeans - H&M € 9,95 || Top - Zara € 14,95 || Boots - H&M € 29,95

Just another casual look during these cold and windy autumn days. What do you think of the new lay-out and header? Like it? I figured it was time for a change, so here it is. Just a small one. And I'll post smaller pictures in the future in stead of the big ones. :)

Two amazing video's I want to share.

New in

Went to the local thriftstore (noppes, zaandam) and bought three lovely items. The bodywarmer is from h&m and was only € 2,50 and brandnew. The dress was € 2,80 and from river island (good for the summer, not really for the temperatures right now) and the blazer/waistcoat was € 7,50 and is vintage. Like it?

Sleep a little, dream a lot

Sweater - thrift, shorts - zara, boots - h&m

Bought this handmade(?) vintage sweater a couple of weeks ago in the local thriftstore. It's very comfortable to wear, but maybe next time with some leather or denim shorts. And can you tell I love my new boots? :)

FLYING: Toulouse

Eventhough the weather wasn't amazing (but hey, the temperature was ok-ish and there was no rain :) ) it was a really good day! In the evening we watched a dutch movie at the co pilots hotelroom, it was a lot of fun! :)





1) Posing at the 'main' square in Toulouse. Strange pose due to funny chineze tourists who were making fun of me (boohoo!)
2) A little square in Toulouse where they have the best cakes!
3) Amazing restaurant
4) We had an amazing late lunch/early diner in this restaurant. They 'grilled' my beef steak in a wooden oven. Delicious! And they have amazing red wines!
5) Capitoleum
6) At the river side where we had another wine.

FLYING: Nurenberg

Coat - H&M (thrift), Jeans - H&M, Boots - H&M, faux fur scarf - H&M
It was a luvely day in Nuremberg! We arrived really early and had a really good german lunch (schnitzel!) and a nice beer. Unfortunately the christmas markets (weihnachtsmarkt) weren't open, but we still enjoyed the 'christmass vibe' the city has.

Out and about

Cardigan - vila, pants - sanwich, boots - new look, bag - unknown

Just another outfit from a few days back. And yes of course I'm wearing a winter coat (the blue one which you have seen before) :)

Layers

Lammy jacket - H&M, jeans - h&m, boots - h&m, blouse - h&m, cardigan - zara

Went out for some grocery shopping and had to wear many layers to stay warm. The wind feels like knifes cutting in your face. But it should improve anytime soon hopefully. I can't wait to go to Toulouse on sunday. I have a really nice roster with a day over. So if you have some tips for Toulouse, please share (may not be too expensive though :))

High school look

Jeans - H&M, Blouse - vintage, Sweater - H&M, Boots - H&M

Can you tell I love cropped knitted sweaters over blouses and combined with a nice pair of jeans. This is one of my favourite pair of jeans, they are the really cheap (€ 9,95) ones from h&m and fit me perfectly. I'm still very much in love with my new boots. Very warm and comfortable. It's getting colder here, so they are perfect for the dutch winters.

Anyway, reserve duty is over. Only got called out for one nightstop in Zurich, and now have two days off. Maybe I'll go thriftshopping later this afternoon. What are your plans for the upcomming 'weekend'?

Overspending

Blazer - H&M, jeans - only, tee - h&m, boots - h&m, scarf - h&m, coat - zara

While temperatures are dropping and almost reaching the freezing point, I'm sitting at home still waiting to be called for work. My hair and make up ready for the moment I'm getting called out for a flight. I didn't do much today. Sit around, watching TED and reading about how to live on a budget. With the time passing I'm starting to realise I need to spend less money on clothing and food. It's too easy nowadays to buy a sandwhich at an expensive coffee corner or to buy a short which you actually don't need. I'm not sure, but I think I spend way, way too much money on things I don't really need. What I do need is a vacation, so that's what I'm going to safe money for. Me and the bf want to go to Brazil by the end of january and want to go backpacking in Asia during the summer of 2012. Big plans worth lots of money what I don't really have at this moment. But things can change, and that's what I'm going to do from now on. Who's with me? :)

And for the fashion related part of my blog: this is my wintercoat from last year. I'm still really pleased with it. It's classic, comfortable and extremely warm (L).

Be and stay creative

Somebody that I used to know

Jeans - only, Blouse - h&m, Knitted sweater - h&m, boots - h&m

Time for reserve duty again. I've been working like crazy lately, and passed my one yearly recurrent exam for my job :). So being at home, sitting and waiting next to my phone to get called out for a flight is not bad this time. Finally some time to update my blog. I'm missing it! :)

I'll show you soon some nice pictures of the places where I've been. Upcomming is a day over in Toulouse and some really nice nightstops in Marseille and Nuremberg. Let me know if you have some tips!

Going back to the fashion related part of the blog: what you do think of my new boots? Bought them at H&M yesterday and loving them ever since! They are a bit rough but I think they are perfect to combine with jeans or a dress/skirt/shorts. Let me know! :)

Also noticed my hair color? It's a bit darker again. I'm not going brown again, but this shade of dark blonde looks a little bit better (at least, that's what I think) for the upcomming winter season!

Song of the day: Somebody that I used to know - Gotye
