New in: pink

This is what's new to my closet recently, pink pink pink! I'm so in love with my new Karl Lagerfeld fedora hat, 100% wool, handmade,... I'm becoming a real hat maniac! It's the third one in my growing collection. Now i'm on a hunt for the perfect straw hat that i can take with me on holiday (i'm going to Gran Canaria in september!). Give me a shoot if you spotted one! :)

Unseasonal beanie

Yay for unseasonal beanies! I've stolen this beanie from my dad's closet and wanted to wear it immediately :) No functional purpose for this little one since the weather is not cold at all here, but it's the perfect accessory to complete this outfit. I was in the mood for a boyish look, so i threw on some sneakers and loose shorts. Although i'm not a natural talent at walking in high heels i also like ultra feminine looks. This is why i love fashion so much: to just wear what fits your mood!

This weekend

The weather was hothothot here in Belgium this weekend, so it was beachtime baby! I love full days at the beach where you can feel it cool off, see the beautifull sunset and pretty sky. The day was closed off with some sushi. I was craving it for sooo long! Sushi on the beach, what to you need more... :) Hope you all had a lovely weekend! 

Kisses, Annelies

Healthy banana bread

I just made something that i HAD to share with you guys. Its healthy and yummy, perfect combo! I combined a bit of different bananabread recipes together with ingredients i had at home. You can throw alot in there. I think i will try to add pure cacao powder to it the next time :)

So you'll need:

- 3 bananas

- 50 gr pitted dates

- 3 eggs

- 75 gr oatmealflour (you can just grind oatmeal in a mixer)

- 75 gr almondmeal (put them together with the oatmeal in the mixer)

- 80 gr of nuts to your choice, i used walnuts

- 1 big teaspoon of cinnamon

- 1 big teaspoon of nutmeg

- 2 teaspoons bakingpowder

How you make it:

1. preheat your oven at 175 degrees

2. mix the bananas and the dates together in a blender

3. mix the eggs until its one substance

4. mix the banana and dates mixture together with the eggs until its a bit airy/fluffy (don't mix it by hand, but use an electronic mixer)

5. put the oatmealflour, almondflour, bakingpowder, cinnamon and nutmeg to your mixture and blend it all together

6. chop the nuts into little pieces and mix it in your mixture with a spoon

7. smear your bakingtray with coconut oil or use bakingpaper

8. pour your mixture in the tray and keep in the oven for around 40 minutes

Believe me, it's like i'm eating regular cake, but without the guilthy feeling :) Enjoy!

Amsterdam

This weekend i visited Amsterdam for one day. And oh men, i've fallen in love with this city. Big time. I loved the amazing stores, the cute houses, the boats, the ultra friendly people, the food,... Ah i want to go back already! :) I've snapped some pictures for you along the day:

My essentials during the 3 hour ride.

One of the many canals in Amsterdam, so cozy :) It really is the Venice of the north.

I've seen a million houses i wanted to live in!

What i wore that day. Cap, bag and shorts from H&M, shirt and sunglasses from Zara and shoes from Adidas.

We lunched on a boat, it serves as a terrace for many restaurants.

  

Amsterdam has alot of lovely shops to visit. One of my favourites was this store, it literally had everything you can buy for your cat :) There's also a boat called 'poezenboot' (kittyboat in Dutch), which is a shelter for cats on a boat, how awesome is that?

Amsterdam didn't only satisfy my inner crazy catlady, there were alot of fashionstores to visit as well. All the high-end boutiques can be found at the P.C. Hooftstraat.

These views <3

I really had a nice time at lovely Amsterdam! One day was i little bit short to visit everything i wanted to see, so i guess i need to go back again soon :)

Love, Annelies

Black & leopard

It's officially summer in Belgium! And by officially i mean you actually can get burned. This is what i wore on a typical summerday. The fabrics of the outfit are light and flowy so it's a really comfy outfit for sunny days like that. The hat also protects me from the sun. Not that i wore it with that intention, but it's a nice extra :) I really neeeed to expand my hat collection, i just love wearing them! Right now i'm of to an open air concert, oh i love summer! :) Kisses!

shoes: Zara / everything else: h&m
