Hey everyone,

 Recently, I looked at some of my clothes for spring and summer that I kept from last year. I wanted to clean my wardrobe, and put all the winter stuff away to get a little more the summer feeling. I made three outfits which I thought were cute for hot days. Almost all the clothes are from Hollister. And I hope you like them!

CUTE SUMMER OUTFITS

COMFY & CUTE

The first outfit is a perfect outfit for a walk to the beach. The sweater is very handy if it's just a little bit fresh outside. And it's also very cute with the different shades of colors. The sweater and the short are both from Hollister. I bought the sweater at the online webshop from Hollister. I don't know if they still have the sweater, and if they don't have it there will be sort of the same ones in different patterns. The sweater was around 18 euros. I bought the short in a Hollister store in Rome for 30 euros. Not to gorget the shoes. They are from Bickembergs. The shoes are really comfortable, and the pink color looks really girly. I bought in a shopping outlet in Rome with a lot of discount. They were 50 euros. I hope they still fit, because I haven't tried them in a year! To make the look complete, I added a watch from Triwa that was 70 euros and a cute shimmery lipgloss from Bobbi Brown for 22 euros. 

SUMMER DRESS

The second outfit is for the beach, or just for a really warm day. I have 4 dresses from Hollister, and I think I have them for quite a long time. They are so cute, and they are really comfortable. This dress from Hollister has a sweetheart neckline, and has a cute floral pattern. If you want to buy a dress from Hollister or Abercrombie, you don't have to be very tall. Because the dresses are not so long.  I'm not really tall, and even on my body it's a little bit short. But if you go to the beach, it's perfect. My father bought them in the US. He had a deal for 4 dresses 60 dollars. It's a lot cheaper than online. And to add the final touch, the same watch that I used before(really looks good with almost everything)the Trwia. And the Bobbi Brown lipgloss, with a cute pearl necklace that I bought on a market this week in Naples for 1 euro. 

The last outfit is also perfect for hot summer days. The item that I love the most is the lace top with short sleeves. It's really cute and classy and it's shows a little bit your stomach. In the back there is a cute bow. The top is from Hollister and I bought it online in the sale for 18 euros. The short is also nice, with two different colors. And with ruffles on the bottom. The short was also online in the sale, and I bought it for 30 euros. The tube scarve is from Abercrombie, with a floral pattern. If makes the outfit a little bit more special. I bought online for 28 euros. Than I added the same pearl necklace and a lipgloss from Loreal for 4 euros. 

What is your favorite clothing item this Spring?

Have a lovely day,

Tips to relax

Hey everyone,

Do you also have that, hat you come home from a busy day at school, college or work and you still have a lot of work that needs to be done? I have that a lot. And it can be quite stressful sometimes. I tend to always say: 'Ah, I will do it later' or just relax for a couple of hours a move the work and than I have to get it done too quickly. Here are some tips to completely relax. 

No stress tips

When you come home from a busy day, and you have things that you need to finish for tomorrow or for that week just finish them immediately. It's the best thing to do. Of course, first you can have a little break. Watch some tv and eat some cookies. But not for hours. Because when you say you'll do it later, your head will be filled with the idea that you still have to do something. And you may get a little stressed. 

Another important thing is that you have to learn to say no. When your friend wants to hang out with you, and you also want to hangout with your boyfriend you have to choose someone. Or maybe go on a group date?! :D Just find ways to combine things, so you can be a relaxed. 

Writing things down in a planner, can also be very handy. The best planner, is one with a weekly view. So you can see what needs to be done that whole week. It keeps you organized, and you can be more relaxed. 

Just relax

When all your work is done, you can finally do sonething fun. 

The things I always do to relax, and just clean my mind are listening to some music, playing tennis(sports really help) or I ask my friend to cone over. And just look on Facebook, Pinterest or talk about cute guys. ;) Some other things you can do to relax are:

1. Cook. Learn some new recipes. It's fun to, and afterwards you can show your family the yummy meal you learned to make. Maybe it's fun to cook dinner for your family sometime?! 

2. Take a shower. Pamper yourself a bit under a warm shower. Use your favorite shower gel and afterwards pamper yourself with some bodylotion. 

3. Have a backyard sale. You can earn a little bit extra money, maybe enough to buy that cute pair of shoes you always wanted! And you meet new people.

4. Go for a walk. Just clean your mind, and think about nothing. If you have a dog, walk your dog. It's a good way to be relaxed. 

5. Read a book. When you read a book(if it's good) you replace yourself in the story and forgot your own world. Also good to stay relaxed. :)

These were some tips to stay relaxed and with no stress. I hope it helped a little bit! 

Thanks for reading!

How do you stay relaxed?

Hey everyone, 

The best way to look extra beautiful is by applying mascara. Everyone can have long and thick eyelashes, and you don't need to buy fake ones. Over the last few years I learned some great techniques and things that may help you to get the eyelashes you dream of! But first I want to share two of my favorite mascara's with you. Make sure to also read my other post about my monthly beauty product favorites here. 

AMAZING MASCARA TIPS

I have a few mascara's that I love very much and wear almost everyday. One is a mascara from Covergirl called Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara  and I love it very much. It's definitely a great buy and it's also not very expensive. And my other favorite mascara is from Maybelline. Maybelline New York Great Lash .  This mascara is great to use everyday and makes my eyelashes look a little bit longer which I love. And the quality is also good. 

My first tip is helpful if there is too much mascara on your brush, and when you apply it it doesn't look well. To prevent your mascara from looking clumpy, just turn your mascara brush a few times around in the mascara bottle and it should be less.

Also it's good to choose a color that's the same or a little bit darker than your eyelashes. If you don't do that, it can look less. My eyelashes are almost black, so I use dark brown or black mascara a lot.

To get more volume in your eyelashes and to make them look longer, apply some mascara on the bottom of you eyelashes. Just do it light, and on the top a little more. 

Curl your eyelashes, to get even more volume and make your eyes look beautiful. Personally, I'm not really into the curling thing, but for a party or a special event it's nice to do.

When you want to apply the 2nd coat, wait till the mascara is dry. Otherwise it's going to clump.

These were some tips to help you a little bit! I also have a few mascara's that I love very much and wear almost everyday. One is a mascara from Covergirl called Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara  and I love it very much. It's definitely a great buy and it's also not very expensive. And my other favorite mascara is from Maybelline.

4 Super useful tips to improve your sense for fashion

Hey everyone,

Everyone wants to look good. With clothes you can express yourself to the world, and show them who you are. People really notice you when you're wearing something fashionable. Every person can get better in choosing what to wear. It takes time to really know what your style is, and what suits your personality. There are some much different clothing options to choose from, like plaid, peplum, boot jeans and so much more. Here are some tips to make your fashion sense even better! If you want to know how to wear plaid you can read my post here. 

1. Learn about fashion. It's good to know something about all the styles there are. And it's also good to know the trends that are hot right now. Look trough some fashion magazines or go to the shopping mall and go window shopping. You can also search the internet of course, because there is like a bunch of information about clothes and all the styles.

2. Know what style you like. It's kind of difficult to go shopping and not knowing what style you like. Do some style quizzes online, or again look trough some magazines and look for the type of clothes that you prefer to wear. 

3. Make a scrapbook. I don't really know what it's called, but the intention is to make a fashion collage with all kinds of pictures that present your style. Like pictures from magazines, from your fav stores, anything you want and like. It helps you to discover your style better. 

4. Know how to make an outfit. It's also good if you know how to combine clothes, and make an outfit. If you wear something loose, like boot jeans than it looks better if you wear something tight on top. When you wear something tight on the bottom like skinny jeans or a tight fitted skirt than something loose on top looks fine. Some outfit ideas are a pair of skinny jeans, with a cute blouse, converse, loose ponytail and a cute necklace. Another cute outfit is a cute dress, some sandals or ballet flats, with your hair you can do a braid or curl it and a cute ring or necklace. These are just two examples, but of course you can experiment it on your own way better.

Other tips:

-Only follow the trends that you like

-Less is more

-Draw the attention to one point in your outfit

-Ask people's opinions 

-Get creative!

In fashion there never a right or wrong. And all the rules you read or hear are just how they think you should dress. On the runway on spring/summer 2014 you see a lot of pastel colors, and bold prints. Also I saw that some models wore sneakers under a dress. I have never seen it before, but it looked fun. So really anything is possible. Have fun shopping!!

What is your secret to stay in style?

The hottest trends in 2014

Hey everyone,

Maybe it's a bit early to talk about all the new fashion trends for spring. But you can never be too late! ;) In the fashion industry it's no secret that they always think one season ahead. If you want to keep up with the hottest looks and look awesome, than here are some of the hottest trends for spring 2014. Which trend are you going to follow?

ROMANTIC

The first trend that will be very popular for spring is the trend romantic. A lot of the clothing items are in the color pink, and also with bows and ruffles. And also not to forget lace is also very romantic. They look very sexy and elegant. I think this trend is very cute because I love to wear pink, and it looks very girly too. 

LIGHT PASTEL COLORS

In the fashion runway show of Celine and Rochas the models were wearing a lot of pastel colored clothes. Thanks to them this is now a big trend for spring. With a lot of lemon, light blue and peach colored clothing items. Also pastel lace dresses are very popular, and they combined the two big trends together. It looks romantic and classy.

SPORTIVE YEARS '90

This trend has come back from the early 90's. The clothing items look like old fashioned items, but with a modern touch to it. The dresses look elegant, and the sporty items look like how they dresses many years ago. Now you think that no one will ever wear this, but actually the clothes are very nice. 

FLORAL

This trend has been each spring a big hit. Floral prints are very cute and classy, and when you see the pattern you become happy. You have floral dresses, jackets, t-shirts almost everything. This is my favorite trend.
