Unique Gift Idea: Engraved Wooden Watch

Hey everyone,

It's almost June can you believe that!? After all the exams and stressful weeks I can now see the summer holiday has officially started. I'm really looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life, going to university, meeting new people and see what the future holds. Summer holiday also means more blogging! For today I would love to show you something very cool. Want to know what I'm talking about, read further now!

Unique Gift Idea: Engraved Wooden Watch
Creative Use of Technology is a creative company run by three people. Their different backgrounds of architecture and city building introduced them to 3D printing. All the unique qualities combined made the perfect team with endless possibilities that the technologies could bring. From this point on the company was born in 2012, a creative company that lets the customer be creative as well. On their webshop you can find all things wooden, you name it they have it. From wooden lamps, to necklace, to watches and even wooden phone cases. 


Unique Gift Idea: Engraved Wooden Watch

I was lucky enough to receive a wooden handcrafted watch. I choose a brown leather strap, but there are also watches completely from wood or in colors like blue and black and all 100% natural. The wooden watches are made from bamboo and come in two different sizes, 43 mm and 36 mm. Both watch sizes are for men and women. The part that really made the watch special to me was that I engraved it. It's custom made and you can choose your own font, size and can even add a cute heart of other symbols you would like to have added. There are so many possibilities and fun quotes to add to the watch. After searching on Google and Tumblr I came across the quote: 'It's Time To Shine.' It's the perfect quote and I really like it. Sometimes it can be challenging to find a gift for someone that's different. A wooden watch is a great gift for your friend, yourself or your loved one to make them feel extra special. It's an affordable and unique gift you'll love for sure!

I absolutely love my new watch and I'm happy I discovered this company! I never thought I would like a wooden watch but this company showed me the opposite. Ithe watch is really light, and easy to wear and I'll never be late again! Because wood is a very natural shade you can wear your watch with almost every outfit. With the right accessoires you can transform your outfit from your look from casual to glam for a night out. I would love to add more wooden items to my collection. Next on top of my wishlist is a wooden phone case from Creative Use of Technology! 

I hope you enjoyed reading today's post! For an original and special gift you're at the right place. Don't forget to visit the webshop of Creative Use of Technology for many more wooden decorations and ideas!

Summer Hurry Up Please!

Hey everyone,

Summer is my favorite season of the year. Bonfires, sand between my toes, warm weather and not to forget wearing cute summer outfits are all things that make summer the best time of the year. You can never be too early to start shopping for some summer outfits and in my recent post I showed you all my Zara must haves. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here. Brands that I really like right now are the fast forward and budget friendly brands. Especially Zara has a great collection and variety of items that you can always find something different and unique. 


Summer Hurry Up Please!

Recently I discovered a new brand called Costes. I can't remember anymore how I found out about it, but I think while on a trip somewhere in Holland and saw a shop from Costes.  It's a Dutch fashion brand but are currently expanding and are soon opening a new store in Antwerp. You can find anything from sandals, to date night outfits to jewelry. 


Summer Hurry Up Please!


In July I'm going on a family trip to Sardinia in Italy and of course going on vacation means going in style. A bikini is definitely a must have for every beach lover just like me. It's quite difficult too find one that fits good and is right for your body type as well. Most times when you're not looking to buy something you find something. I was looking on the webshop of Costes and came across a very cute pineapple bikini. The bright yellow is perfect for summer and the pattern makes me think of somewhere tropical. Bright colors are really in this summer and with a tan the bikini will look even better! I was in doubt wether to buy the top and bottom both in a small it luckily I bought the bottom in a medium. It fits quite small so I think I could even fit into a large, I just don't need to eat to much pizza haha. Last year I can remember I bought my bikini at Sam Friday, it's a lingerie brand just like Gilly Hicks and the bikini was in grey and light blue. Although I love those shades too, I wanted to try something new and bright this year. 

Thank you very much for reading today's post! I can't wait for summer to arrive and hope you are excited as well!

Wardrobe Essential: Good Shoes Take You To Good Places

Hey everyone,

I can't believe it's already May, time really flies! As summer is just around the corner it's the perfect time to start shopping. FSJ shoes is an online shop that sells shoes for everybody. From bright colored sandals to glamorous and hot heels, no doubt there will be a perfect pair for you. FSJ want to make every woman feel empowered by what they wear. Their goal is also to create trendy shoes but also at an affordable price. When you shop at FSJ you are sure every pair is unique and made with love!

HEELS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND
In every girl's closet heels are definitely the number one must have. They make your legs longer and they add that extra sparkle to your outfit. Whether you're going on a date, to a festival or going to a family brunch heels are a basic. You have them in so many different patterns and heights that it can be difficult to pick a pair. It's only been a year since I've started wearing heels. I've always been the type of girl who chooses comfort over cute and now that's starting to change a bit as I get older. My style has also changed from very classic and comfy to a bit more outgoing and not being afraid of adding that pop of color to an outfit. Heels can do just that and luckily FSJ is there to help you a few steps further. They have every type of heels, leopard print heels, hot heels and not to forget stiletto heels. My favorite pair has to be these cute coral red strappy tassles sandals. The color is bright and colorful just want your outfit needs during summer. They are called sandals but they can also bee seen as high heels. To stay in the coral tones for summer, this next pair of heels are very cute too. They are open toe stiletto heels in chole pink. I really like the thin straps and the t-strap makes your legs look longer too which is a big plus.

SANDALS FOR SUMMER 
Time flies and before you know it you'll be heading of to the beach in your cute summer outfit. As summer is just around the corner sandals can't be forgotten. For the beach sandals are perfect to keep you cool. Lately I'm really into the scrappy sandals or the gladiator look kind of shoes that you can tie up. FSJ shoes has a lot of trendy sandals that you can wear not only to the beach, but also in combination with a pair of skinny jeans for a casual look. Even for a date night sandals are a must have and give you a summery look. The first pair that I really like are the black open toe strappy sandals. They are comfortable and easy to wear when you're on vacation and look cute with almost any summer outfit. The next pair remind me of Minnie Mouse and are so cute as well! They are black and white polka dot sandals and the big bow really stands out. With these sandals the rest of your outfit can be simple and classic.

Catalogue Shopping: Nothing A Bit Of Shopping Can't Fix

Hey everyone,

Shopping nowadays is easier than ever. You're just a few clicks away from that dress you've always wanted or that pair of shoes you recently saw someone wearing. It's the beginning of May and that means summer is just around the corner. It's the perfect time and excuse to start making a wishlist with all the items you need or want to stay fashionable this summer. Read further to get to know a great way of online shopping to revamp your wardrobe!

Catalogue Shopping: Nothing A Bit Of Shopping Can't Fix


Shopping catalogues are very popular right now. If you don't really know what catalogue shopping is, I'll tell you a little bit more about it. Catalogue shopping is that products from one retailer are grouped together and you can buy a lot of different products just from the comfort of your own home. The biggest advantage is that you don't have to leave your home and just let the products get delivered to you. Catalogues247 is the perfect site to go for a big online shopping spree and find all the items you need. From fashion to electronics to homeware there is something for everyone. It's fun to look trough all kinds of different products in the catalogues, in comparison to going to a clothing store in your neighborhood where they only sell clothes. Also catalogues are very handy to compare different items and you can almost always find great deals!

Catalogue Shopping: Nothing A Bit Of Shopping Can't Fix
If you're a fashionista just like me than you can easily find your next must have in one of the categories on catalogues 247. There is a category where you search for women's clothing and accessories and maybe you can also find a cute gift for your boyfriend or husband in the men's clothing and accessories category. There even is a separate category for kids that's perfect if you're a mom or dad or just want to give something to your little niece. When you click on women's clothing the category is further divided for you to make online shopping simple and quick. You can shop at the french fashion brand called LaRedoute or at JD Williams. 

Shopping catalogues are fun and come with many advantages such as free delivery, a big variety of products and credit options. I hope you enjoyed reading today's post! 
QUESTION TIME - Have you every tried catalogue shopping? Did you like it?

Isabella
