Todays outfit is maybe some sort of a mixmatch. An unusual color combination, but I have to admit that I love it. I bought the lace shorts last summer in Vienna and they are from Forever21. I really love the lace, so cute! I tried to combine it with a mint sweater from h&m, I would love to hear your opinion about this odd combination.
Today I've been to Ikea, it's time to update my room and walk in closet with a desk! Yes boys and girls, Shalane is going to take The Fashion Moodboard to a next level, and a proper desk is really necessary to do so! Besides that, I just came back from a delicious diner with an old friend. She is going to be a flight attendant as wel, we're going to be collegues! So much fun, I'm really looking forward to work together with her in the cabin!
Remember my DIY Celine t-shirt? It was time to wear Celine again, but this time in combination with my burgundy faux leather pants, hope you like this combination!
And how are you doing? Everybody okay? I just came back from work: 6 days in a row of early shifts. Ewwwww... Yesterday was a very long and heavy day: 4 flights and 9 hours of duty time. But it was okay, lovely colleagues and friendly passengers. But I was to tired! So after a delicious diner at a tapas restaurant in Amsterdam (la pata negra) with a friend, I slept for 9 hours straight!
Yesterday I felt like Alice in Vintage Wonderland when I discovered this cute vintage store right in the citycenter of Toulouse. The beautiful owner allowed me to take some pictures of this pretty place and her vintage treasures. I was delighted to see a mix of vintage and secondhand high street fashion brands. It's the place to be to dress like a true parisian girl and get matching jewelry, bags and shoes.
Next time I'll definitely bring my wallet to take something back to the Netherlands. I have seen so many beautiful items which I would love to have, but unfortunately this month is not a good month to spend money ;)
But you can, if you like! If you visit Toulouse, Backstage Vintage is definitely a must see on your list. Toulouse has a lot of vintage stores, but this one is by far the best and as soon as you enter the store you're filled with inspiration, that's a promise!

Right now I'm blogging from my hotelroom in Toulouse. Spend all day outside in the freezing cold wandering around. My previous visit to Toulouse must have been over a year ago, and I was really trying to request this nightstop. Not only because I love this city, but also because there was some gossip in the gally (of the airplane, red) that we would change hotels. Thank goodness that didn't happen, we stay in our old hotel right in the citycenter of Toulouse.
The thing I love about Toulouse is that it has amazing shops. Do you know the spanish brand 'Stradivarius'? I was so happy when I found it in Toulouse, and I really love their clothes. But today was not a good day to shop, so I bought nothing and am now back in my warm hotelroom. Time for some sleep, but first... my pictures!
I forgot to mention one thing which I absolutely and truly hate about my job: getting called out of reserve duty at 5 o'clock in the morning. Speaking of which, this is exactly what happend to me this morning. After just 4 hours of sleep, I heared my phone rang and looked at the time: 5.01AM. If I could do a Copenhagen up and down.
It resulted in being home quite early, but I would have loved to get more sleep. I just had less than 4 hours, but that was maybe my own fault. I went to the movies last night with a friend and had a cup of tea afterwards. A good evening, but coming home at 23.30 is not ideal when your personal alarm clock is at 5AM.
Enough said about my job. Here's my outfit of the day, combined with one of the most beautiful backgrounds I've ever seen. It's just an ordinary landscape, but together with the sunshine and the dark clouds, it turned out to be just perfect. I'm wearing my new tie dye skinny jeans from h&m, just all the shades of grey are here today. Really don't like the book though...
