My outfit // The flamingo bikini

flamingo bikini (asos), eye cat sunglasses (asos), jeans scarf (h&m)

Hi there!

Normally I don't do bikini outfits but for this one I make an exception. This flamingo bikini is so awesome I have to share it with you guys! 

I bought it in january on the internet (asos). I never ever bought clothes/swimwear on the internet. I find it a bit risky. But when I saw the flamingo print, I was immediately in love. So I added it to the shopping bag and a week later it was mine! 

So for months I waited to wear it and finally, here in France, it is time!  Yes, I know I don't own a swimmers body but that's okay for me. This bikini makes me so happy I don't even think about that anymore. 

So what do you think and what kind of bikini makes you happy?

With love,

My outfit // Little miss sunshine

jeans jumpsuit (urban outfitters), retro sunglasses (vintage, J Jourdan Paris), shirt with animal print (forever 21), jeans jacket (vintage), red sneakers (vans) cotton bag (lily) 

Sweet little strangers, 

As you can see, I'm not in sad little rainy Belgium anymore! I'm spending my holidays in France for a week. 

Yesterday we went to the seaside, it was warm but very windy (watch the hair on the pictures and you will see). 

So I kept my outfit light but still with happy elements. The pink scarf is a gift from my grandmother. She has a closet full of old scarfs, it's like a second hand shop but better! I found the sunglasses in an old and dusty thrift shop. I payed almost nothing for it and apparently it's a very fancy, expensive piece from an optical boutique in Paris. Lucky me ! The jeans jacket is actually from when I was young (10 years old). Then I almost drowned in it but now it fits perfectly! And of course you all know the "I'm still saving for my birkin bag" bag from the shop Lily (Mechelen), I'm wearing it almost on every outfit! Yes, I'm addicted to the bag!

So, I'm going for a walk in the beautiful nature of France, have a nice day!

My outfit // Urban color splash

orange purse (h&m), printed scarf (h&m), black skinny jeans (river island), green knitted shirt (zara), golden necklace (a gift), round sunglasses (pieces by asos), brown blazer (h&m), red sneakers (vans)

Hi there,

Last weekend I went to the Belgium coast together with some friends to celebrate the holiday. It wasn't very warm but the wind was actually very refreshing. I needed that, after a heavy school year. Also, I don't know if you noticed but I colored my hair blond. "Why blond?" ask alot of people. Well, the answer is: change, live, take risks! I always wondered how it would be to be blond. Now I know, blonds have more fun!

My outfit of that weekend was very colorful but yet city proof. I wanted to make a happy outfit. What do you think of the combo? 

With love,

"Your Style. Your Street.

Be Street."

Hi there !

A few weeks ago, a student of photography asked me if I wanted to contribute with her street style project. This project is not just outfit photos taken with a digital camera like everybody does. She goes old school style with an analog camera. And now these days I am totally addicted to analog photos, so of course I sad yes!

Did I make you curious and you want to see more of her work? Then don't hesitate to visit her online  photo album and get fascinated by all the different street styles! 

And what do you guys think? And do you like the outfit?

With love,

Backstage the photoshoot.

Hoi hoi !

Een paar weken geleden vroeg een studente fotografie aan me of ik wilde mee werken aan een "street style" project van haar. Dit project is zijn niet zomaar digitale foto's zoals alle andere outfit foto's. Ze gaat de "old school" weg op en maakt de foto's met een analoog camera. En moet het nu lukken dat ik de laatste maanden echt verslaafd ben aan analoge foto's. Ik vind ze zo puur. Dus natuurlijk zei ik ja !  

Heb ik je nieuwsgierig gemaakt en wil je graag meer zien van haar werk? Twijfel dan niet langer meer en bezoek haar online  foto album en ontdek alle verschillende "street styles" die zij al gefotografeerd heeft!

Wat vinden jullie ervan? En de outfit, hot or not?

Liefs,

Kom op, steek je tong uit tegen kanker

Zo dus bij deze, steek ik mijn tong uit tegen kanker!

Hoi hoi!

Voor wie het nog niet wist, de jaarlijkse campagne van Kom op tegen Kanker is vrijdag 22 februari weer van start gegaan. Dit keer met wel een zeer origineel statement: "Kom op, steek je tong uit tegen kanker". De campagne staat in het teken van kanker bij kinderen en meer bepaald de late gevolgen van de ziekte bij die patiëntjes. Het is een oproep naar Vlaanderen om massaal de tong uit te steken tegen kanker. Ze krijgt haar hoogtepunt tijdens de liveshow op Eén op 16 maart.

Steek dus je tong uit, maak er een foto van, post deze samen met je motivatie op de site van Kom op tegen Kanker en maak een donatie over. 

Meer info vind je op VLK (Vlaamse Liga tegen Kanker) & Kom op tegen Kanker.

Liefs,
Charlotte.X
