New Zara City (Office) Bag

Hey Guys,

I guess most of you remember the huge hype around the Zara City Office bag, everyone was over the moon when that bag came out around a year ago, A big amount of blogposts were written about it because it was a very classic, large bag with a lot of compartements AND a patted case to put an ipad in or even a small laptop, some bloggers linked the bag to the well known Chanel executive or the Prada luggage. For the Zara City Office bag lovers, great news, I saw a new bag in store today that looks a lot alike. Only I think it's even cuter!! Can you even believe that?? On the site I could only find the blue and the red (which I think is the most beautiful colour!) but in store they also had the black and camel colour.
This is how it looks likes, it's a gorgeous looking leather (which is different than the previous city office bag because that one had saffiano leather) and a front compartment which the previous one didn't came with either.

The bag has top handles and also comes with a cross body strap which is amazing to use when it's heavy. Inside it has three compartments, two with a zipper, and one of them is padded so you can put your ipad or laptop in it. They even clame you can put a 15'' laptop in there, which might be right because my laptop is 25 x 38 and the exact size of the bag is 29 x 40 x 18cm. The middle compartment doesn't close with a zipper but with a clasp, so I would recommend putting your wallet in a zipped compartment just for your own savety. It's a very big bag, perfect to use for school or work

This is a picture of the middle compartement, as you can see you've two little pockets to put your phone or keys in. Behind the clasp where you can see the zipper is the padded part.
I love this bag, sadly I won't be purchasing it because I really don't need it. I think this version is a bit less sophisticated but more everyday and still chic. The bag reminds me of the leather bags teachers carry, quite old school looking I would say. For what you get this bag isn't very expensive, it's €69,95 which is, if I'm right, a bit more expensive than the first Zara city office bag. But in my opinion it's totally worth it.
PS they didn't name it the City Office Bag, but just the Citybag.

Will this bag be the next blogger hype? I already love it!

Life Update #5 Exam Results, Trip to London, Designer handbag talk


Hey Guys,

First of all let's just ignore the fact that I never did a Life Update #3 but jumped from #2 to #4. And this is Life Update #5. I like talking to you guys about my life, I see my blog as a kind of diary, but I personally also love reading life posts because I'm way too curious.

The first thing I wanted to update you on are my Exams, on the 11th of February I got my grades back, and OMG, I passed all of them! I'm so so happy that my exams turned out so great. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Second Thing is my trip to London. I've been to London from the 3th till the 6th, it was amazing. I shopped a lot, and did some touristy things with my friend, but since I've already been to London six times I didn't really need to see a lot of touristy things. Me and my friend had an amazing stay! Sadly there was a tube strike the 5th and 6th but I was prepared for that so we did all the things that were on walkable distance. I'll do a full London post, with more info on the Hotel, the things we visited, food places and pictures soon. Here is my London Haul/ What I bought in London if you haven't already read that post.


Third is my Designer 'addiction', as you guys may know, I love designer items, but of course I can't afford it to buy a new designer item every month. I recently did a designer handbag wishlist, but some things have changed since I've been to London and got to see all of them in real life. I didn't really like the Alexander Wang in real life, it just didn't look as beautiful, so I decided not to buy that one and remove it from my wishlist. The bags that did look amazing in real life were the Mulberry Lily and the Céline trapeze, they are just wow, seriously guys! I also found out the Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC is a bit too small for my liking, but the MAC is just perfect. I started really really liking the Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium bags, they are so fun in the bright yellow and orange but also gorgeous in black. Sadly they're all quite expensive bags.

Céline Trapeze
Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium

Last but not least, I wanted to tell you that my classes started again, so there will be a chance I won't be posting as much posts as I did the past month, I will try my best though!

Hoped you guys liked this post, please let me know if you enjoyed it! And if you like these kind of posts.

Let's end with a quote:

Huge London Haul 2014

Hey Guys,

As you may or may not know I've been to London last week. I absolutely love that city and I go there every year. Of course as a slight shopping addict I've bought a few things (A lot actually, but sshtt). I adore all the pieces I got, they are so different from what I usually buy but oh so gorgeous! I know I've spend a lot of money, but I did pay it all with my own money that I saved up from work. I'll try to link the site where you can get the clothing item, every link will appear in fat. Hope you enjoy this post!

These two jackets are seriously stunning! The left one is so sophisticated and chic whilst the right one is more daring, 'in your face' and very different. They are definitely not winter appropriate but hey, Spring is coming soon guys!
Left Pink Jacket: Primark £25
I love tops you can put on and give your outfit an instant 'oumpf', they just make your outfit complete. 
Left Pink floral top: Primark £8
I just had to have these pj pants! They are sooo me, I absolutely LOVE food, I'm a food addict so they're me in a pants! And they were ridiculously cheap! The pink cardigan is perfect winter material, actually I'm wearing it right now! It's soo soft.
Food PJ Pants: Primark £5
Pink Cardigan: Primark £14
Okay, I admit, maybe four necklaces is a bit over the top, but they just make an outfit stand out more! 
From top to bottom, left to right
Gold/orange one: Primark £4
Pink teardrop one: Forever 21 £9.90
Multi-Coloured beaded one: Forver 21 £7
Pink and Gold one: Primark £4

Of course I had to get some London related things, Primark is the perfect place for that!

London Socks: Primark £2
This is a gorgeous maxi skirt with a split on the left side (of the picture), it is see true, so they've put linning just until around 15 cm above the knee, the rest is quite see true but not too much. I just absolutely love it! Can't wait to wear it in summer time!
Black and White Maxi Skirt: Forver 21 £16.75
I love to wear leggings and I don't like the underwear lines showing true the legging so I bought some 'no show' underwear as well as 'seamless' underwear. They sit just perfect and feel soo comfortable.
Top 5 (you can only see 4): Victoria Secret seamless underwear, 5 for £20
Bottom 3: Victoria Secret 'no show' underwear, 3 for £27
Last but not least, this unique and stunning jumper and gorgeous pants! The Jumper is so cosy and warm and still very unique! I slightly regret not getting more prints. The pants are so light weight but still make your bum look perfect! 
Jumper: Camden Market £25
Trousers: Forver 21 £12

And that's all! I had such a nice time in London! I already miss it, I hope I'll go back soon.
Please feel free to comment or follow, it would mean a lot.
Thank you so much for reading.

Perfume Collection | Part two

Hey Guys,

This is part two of my perfume collection, I've a true perfume addiction, I just love all the cute bottles and amazing scents. So here it is:

This is a lovely vanilla scent from the bodyshop, it doesn't really need a lot of explenation since it's just vanilla. It's such a warm and sweet/deep scent! I wear it a lot these winter days. The 30ml is only €18!
The next one is the Burberry London Perfume, I don't wear it a lot but still love it. It's a very heavy and sophisticated scent if that makes sense. Here is a description. For a 50ml bottle you'll pay around $72.
This is the Lola Lempicka forbidden flower perfume which I wear a lot as an everyday perfume next to my vanilla bodyshop one. It's pretty heard to find it though, I saw it on ebay for around $46 for 100ml. Here's a description of how it smells like.
This is another Bodyshop perfume. It's called 'Love ETC'. It's really hard to describe this scent because it's very different, so here's a link that will explain exactly how it smells like. The price is around $40.90 for a bottle of 30ml.
The last perfume is a limited edition from Marc Jacobs, called 'eau so fresh sunshine'. It's an amazing summer perfume and I absolutely LOVE to wear it! The only downside about this one is it doesn't last for a long time. After already two hours the scent has faded away. But the bottle is absolutely stunning, isn't it? Here's a link to the description, you might be able to get it on Ebay.

Perfume Collection | Part one

Hey Guys,

I'm a huge perfume junky! I've quite a lot of perfume so the best thing to do is to divide them in two posts. So this is my Part One. I absolutely love the sweet, fruity and vanilla scents. So you'll see a lot of those coming around. It would take ages to talk about them all and tell you how they smell like so I'll link the description of every perfume next to the name and price.

Let's start with my absolute favorite of them all, Miss Dior Chérie which now just is Miss Dior. I've bought this perfume three years ago in London and it still reminds me of that time, I wear this perfume on special occasions or on days when I want to feel sophisticated. This perfume lasts all day and even the day after you can smell this perfume on your clothes you wore the day before. £66 for 50ml. Here is a link to the description of the perfume from the official Dior site.

Loud from Tommy Hilfiger. A nice everyday perfume, not my absolute favorite but I still like it, and it's pretty cheap too, but it doesn't last all day though. £27 for 40ml Here a link to the description.

Scarlett from Cacharel is a very girly and sweet perfume and the bottle is gorgeous isn't it? I love to wear this one in summer time, It's £49 for 80ml. Here a description of the scent

Next up is 212 Sexy from Carolina Herrera, This is a very sexy and deep/warm scent. Definitely in my top 5 favorites. I wear this day and night and it lasts for ages! It's £47.5 for 60ml, here a description from the official site.

This is a very random perfume I got from a friend, She bought it in a local supermarket. It smells very sophisticated and classy. It's probably not for sale in other countries than Belgium but since it's a perfume from my collection I'm showing you it anyways.

Last but not least for part one is my OH LOLA! perfume by Marc Jacobs, it's a very sweet and fruity scent, I love to wear this in summer, I've actually done a whole review on this perfume so I'll link it here, it's £47 for a bottle of 50ml.

Part Two will be up next Friday so keep your eyes open for that!
Do you have any of these perfumes?
