Pastel

Hey guys! These pictures were taken at the seaside, love the light in them! What do you think about this skirt? I bought it at Topshop when i was in Amsterdam and it immediately caught my eye. Oh, it was love at first sight :) The quality is also just ah-ma-zing! If i'll ever go to a fashionweek, this would be my look, haha. 

Now, back to my studybooks again (sigh), i have an exam in about a week but luckily after that i'm getting on the plane to Spainnnn. Can't. Wait. It's actually raining alot over here, so that makes the studying a bit more bearable :) Hope you're having a great weekend! xx Annelies

Beauty favourites

I just took this picture for the instagramz, but i wanted to talk a bit more in depth about my favourite beautyproducts of the moment with you.

1. Chanel nailpolish (Nr.535/May): I normally don't splurge on nailpolish, but this color was just so beautiful and i couldn't find a dupe for it. I'm obsessed with everything pink and this is just the perfect pastel color! Not gonna lie, the quality is just the same as cheaper nailpolish in my opinion.

2. MAC eyeshadow (Nylon): This is the color of eyeshadow i just always always need to have! It's great as a highlighter on the browbone or in the inner corner of the eyes. I usually put it all over my eyelids, it makes me look more awake :)

3. Chloé showergel: This smells so divine! It's like you're showering with parfume. I use this when i'm having one of those pampering days in the badroom with nailpolih, bodylotion, hair- and facemask... I really enjoy those moments!

4. Essence lipstick (06/Barely there): This is such a good natural lipstick for me! My lips are quite red from itself so the color is not so dark when i'm wearing it. It also makes my lips look a bit fuller, which is a good bonus ofcourse :)

Ordered

I'm searching for an oversized denim jacket for ages now and i think i finally found the perfect one! I'm really picky about the color, washing and fit but i think this one has it all :) Can't wait for it to arrive, i got a feeling i'll be wearing this one alot this fall!

On another note: i've finally handed in my thesis, please pray with me for some good grades! That also means i'm going to have a decent stressless weekend again. The weather will be amazing normally so it really can't get any better, hope you're all going to have a great one too! :) Hugs, Annelies

You can find the jacket here

WeCanDance

 I promised to show you some pictures of beachfestival WeCanDance i went to, so here it is! Wish i was still surounded by palmtrees and coconuts but i'll have to do it with a grey sky at the moment. So counting the days until i leave for Spain! 21 days left! :) 

I posted more about what i'm wearing over here :)

 

My 2014 summer outfits

Since today was pretty rainy and filled with some boring thesis writing i decided to look at some summer outfits from last year instead of the raindrops on my window. I must say alot of outfits i wore aren't up on my alley anymore today. Which is a good thing! A like to see how style can evolve through time. But there's also alot of stuff i still enjoy to wear today. These above are some of my favourites :) Happy weekend! xx

Laurent's guardian

What do you think of my Saint Laurent's little guardian? Isn't he cuuute? I found this pink haired fellow at the flea market a while ago, so i adopted him and gave him a place to live in my closet :) It (he/she has no name yet, any suggestions?) gives my wardrobe a fun little touch, definitely going to add some more creatures to the collection!

Beach look

If you follow me on instagram (@thefashionloonatic) you'll probably know that i went to WeCanDance, a festival at the coast here in Belgium. We were so lucky because the weather was perfectooo! This is what i wore that day, i will definitely show you some pictures of the festival later! I opted for these two pieces from a young Belgian brand called Friday. I just wore the dress during daytime, but it cools down very quickly in the evening at the beach so the long cardigan came in pretty handy! Oh, it was love at first sight, i'm pretty sure you'll see this effordless beauty in another outfitpost! :)
