Stripes

Here's a look from last week, it's finally getting warm enough to wear lighter jackets! Oh i love this time of year where everything starts to bloom and the days are getting longer. What do you think of this look? I really love how all the stripes work together so well! And the hat makes it a bit more spring like :)

Anyways, i hope you had a great Easter weekend if you celebrate it, i had a cozy breakfast with my family and ate alot of chocolate (ofcourse) :) This weekend me and my friends are going on our yearly trip to Paris, i can't wait! And i just made snapchat so i think i will snap that day, my username over there is annelies_hellem    Hugs! xx

Random snapshots

Having a sushi evening at my boyfriend. Also, how cool is this new purse from Mango? I immediately fell in love with it, i think it has a bit of a Saint Laurent vibe to it.

Trying to make this the first thing i do in the morning. I really like it so far, it's very refreshing and wakes me up. My kind of morning coffee :)

Making a quick picture at the wellness, i really needed this in between all the internship papers and my thesis.

My favourite perfume of the moment, love the bottle so much!

It's almost a year since i bought this Saint Laurent as my first designer bag, time flies! I'll post the full look of this later on this week.

Hope you have a great start of the week! xx

Pink bomberjacket

Here's a first look with my new pink bomberjacket. They will be a huge trend this spring because i see them everywhere! I already have some more looks planned with it but this one will definitely be my favourite. Love the mixed patterns and textures in this outfit. My boyfriend and me found this new cool shooting location this weekend not far from our home, i really love to integrate some amazing architecture into my outfitposts, it's a nice change from those white walls :)

Have a great week! xx A.

Todays bag

My little pink Furla bag is my favourite one lately, it's a lovely eyecatcher for any outfit.

Today will be a boring day at the desk writing for my thesis. But the weather is so beautiful today, really feels like spring! So i think i will go for a little walk later, exciting times :p I'll make advantage of the sunny weather to shoot a couple of outfitposts later this weekend, keep you posted!

My spring 2016 style goals

You guys seemed to like my autumn 2015 style goals post, so i'll try to make this a seasonal thing now :) For this spring i'll focus on plaits, white button-up shirts and blazers/jackets to layer it with. Ohh i just can't wait to wear my spring wardrobe again!

My current skincare products

I'm using these products for months now so i thought it would be interesting for you to share my thoughts about them :)

The Shiseido Pureness cleanser is something i only use at the evening. It's that type of cleanser that foams, but it isn't harsh on the skin. I have sensitive skin, so i would recommend it if you want a cleanser that does the job really well and is friendly to your skin.

My favourite eyecream ever is the Antipodes kiwi seed eyecream, i just looove this stuff! It sinks fast into the skin, which is good if you want to apply make-up afterwards. It contains alot of natural ingredients like avocado oil and it hydrates perfectly! 

I've also found the perfect daycream for my sensitive skin. It's the well known Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream. I was on the hunt for a cream that hydrates very well without breaking my skin out for such a long time and i'm so happy to finally found the one! I even use this in the evening as a nightcream :)

Hope you had a nice week so far! Tell me if you recommend any products for sensitive skin, i really want to discover some more stuff! :) xx, A.

Casual mood

I'm really into casual and comfy outfits lately, i think it's because of the rainy and windy weather the past few weeks. Can't wait the wear flowy dresses and skirts again once it gets warmer! 

jacket: Asos / sweater: Essentiel / bag: Furla / shoes: Givenchy

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani blush palette & lipstick

Who else loves to look at unused make-up? These beauties from the Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani collection just came in and just like the gorgeous eyeshadow palette (which you can read about here) there's nothing bad to say about it :) 'Angel' and 'Hush' in the palette are actually highlighters what makes this one practical for travelling. 

Now about the lipstick! It's called 'Ex girlfriend' and comes with a matching lipliner. The shade itself is my idea of the perfect red lipstick. It's not too bright and not too dark. I'll show you how it looks on the lips soon in an outitpost!

The little eyebrowkit does the job perfectly. It even comes with teeny tiny tweezers and a mirror that maxifies.

So to sum it all up: nothing but love for this collection! :)
