when the birds come fly

First of all, thanks for all your lovely comments on my previous post(s). You're all so very nice!

Yesterday was fun. It ended in a shopping day, which is pretty nice. I went to Antwerp with someone I know from school. She's really nice but we never really meet outside of school. And now we did. She asked me to go with her a couple of days ago. It's so nice when someone asks you, I mean, it does mean they like you a bit. And it worked out, it seems that we both have the same taste in accesoires and clothing. We took the same clothes to the fitting rooms, it was quite funny. She also convinced me to take a look inside Accesorize's store. Man, that store is so pretty! So many gorgeous necklaces, I think I'll be visiting that store a lot!

This is what I wore, it's the very first time I wore a legging with a print. So this is very... daring for me. I like it! :)

Also, my mum finished her shawl. It's so pretty! I got to wear it and it feels so soft. Now she's making one for me, but a longer one so I can wear it all the way around my neck! She's great :)

I loveee it!

And here are the pieces I bought yesterday! I'm so happy with them, and I'm greatly in love with the leggings. Oh, and this is the very first time I bought a nice and decent short!! They never fit me! And now I found one, YAY. The photo's are a bit unflattering to the pieces, but I'm sure I'm wearing these very soon and a lot. Now to think of it, I'm just in love with all of these pieces! And most of them were cheap as hell.

(the orange dress is more yellow than on the photo)

Tomorrow I'm going to the movies with my mum and maybe eat out. We're seeing The Sorcerer's Apprentice, I'm curious if Disney got it right, again. I'm pretty sure they did, it's from the same director as National Treasure and I loved those two movies.

I also added some links to my sidebar. To my Chictopia, Facebook and Twitter. Feel free to add me to those, but if you do, could you send a note about who you are? Just to make you aren't an internet perv ;)

Hope you have a nice day and THANKS for reading!♥
Now I'm going to eat some spaghetti! :)

knitting and wanted

Hey everyone and welcome to my new followers♥! I hope you all like my blog.

Yesterday I decided to pick up knitting again. Now that my mother is so busy making these wonderful knit works, I'm so tempted by doing the same. I'm still a noob when it comes to knitting though, I can only do the basic stitch. But that's enough to make a shawl! I'm doing a  moebius shawl (is that even the right name?), I'm kind of addicted to them but I only own one or two of them. Reason enough to make one, right?! I chose red, matches my nails! ;)

I'm also lurking around at online shops of my favourite stores such as H&M and New Look to see if they have pieces for the fall/winter yet. Since I lost a lot of weight, I don't own any warm clothing that fits. I can't possibly go out in the winter without a jacket and no pants... right? These are some pieces I'm quite drawn to.

Hope you all have a nice day and thanks for reading!

red nails

Red nails ♥ I love mine!

Can't stop staring at them.

I've wanted red nails for a while now, and now I have. I'm happy! :)

I'll post an outfit soon, I've tried to take pictures of my yesterday outfit, but it began to rain, and I hate outfit pictures in my room... sort of. Oh, and hello to my new followers! It's nice to know that some people do read my blog! Welcome!!

Hope you all have a nice day, and thanks for reading.

Mrs. Pollymoggle and outfit

Blogging seems to be in our family. My mum has created a blog, Mrs. Pollymoggle, where she shares her love for knitting and crochets. She's currently busy with knitting shawls and I had the opportunity to wear for a couple of seconds.

These photos were taken to show the shawl on her blog, so the Hello Kitty shirt has nothing to do with it. I really like the pattern and the color. I'm still amazed at what my mum can do with just some thread. She buys her wool and stuff online, so she gets packages almost every day. Which is pretty fun. I also want to show you some wool she got today, such pretty colors! It's Wollmeise or something, appearantly it's a really famous wool store. They dye the wool by hand and use different shades. Gorgeous.

Saturday I purchased this stretchy jeans skirt from H&M. I made a combination with an oversized tshirt (also from H&M) I bought some time ago. It's casual, loose and doesn't have a real shape. But I like it. I also bought an owl ring from H&M (I'm in love with that store) and shower gel with peach.

owl ring, skirt and oversized tshirt: H&M

That's about it for now. The outfit post isn't that cool or amazing, but it's the best I can do for now. Tomorrow I'm going to see Toy Story 3 with a friend and I'm planning to start on some quilts again (I once started doing this, but I gave up after a while).

Thanks for reading!

god save the queen

Hey bloggers and readers!

Here I am with the pictures from London. I quite like them. As I said in my previous blog, my friend wasn't really enthousiastic about the whole trip (which still makes me wonder why the hell she went along in the first place). My friend didn't want any pictures of her and she wasn't keen on taking pictures of me neither. Conclusion: I have maybe three photos of me in London and I regret that.

But enough about the friend, let's leave her be. Here are my pictures!

The very first picture of me in London and the only one my friend took of me. She even didn't want to photograph me, just the clocks inside this real estate shop. But ha! I ruined her photo, I'm bad.

 

The very first thing we did: visiting the Sherlock Holmes museum. And this is one the only pants I own, I'm a dress&skirt girl. But I love this pants, it's comfy and still nice to see. And now, on to the random pictures of London.

All I can say right at this moment is that London has a great range of gorgeous buildings and statues. And I definitely want to visit London again, those three days were not enough to discover it all.

Some other news, I went to see Predators with my mum yesterday. Gotta love Adrien Brody's body ... I mean, acting talent ;) Anyway, it was good. Not the best I've ever seen, but by far not the worst either (and I've seen A LOT of bad movies). Now, tonight I'm going to see Robin Hood with my dad (the Russell Crowe version). I hope it's a good one too.

Thanks for reading.

quick update

Oh goodness, I am one of the worst bloggers ever. First: thank you all for the lovely comments on my previous post. I noticed a lot of you loved the H&M jacket, well, I do too. I'm currently enjoying my summer break (yeah, that's the excuse I'm going to use).

Next week I'm going to London for three days with one of my best friends. I'm so excited, London has always been #1 on my to do in life list - yes I have a list - next to Paris. Paris already came true a couple of years ago. London has always been interesting to me, I mean, you can shop (that's important, naturally) and there are lots of cultural things to do like museums and theatre. I really want to go to The National Gallery.

So I won't be updating this blog for a while, but I'll probably make a post about London when I'm back.

small step for (wo)man

 am officially graduated! I am beyond amazement how awesome I did, I'm so happy. I'm also glad it's finally summer break. Altough this week I still have to work a lot on my test to get into uni where I want to study for a degree in commercial arts. I'm so excited, I really hope I can get in.

So there was this whole proclamation at a gallery for the graduates, wich was pretty boring. One of the few positive things was that I got to wear my new outfit. This is my very very very first outfit post, so please don't mind my lack of talent for posing. I just snapped some quickies in my room.

 

   

(this picture is just too funny for not showing)

dress: H&M / blazer: H&M / belt: vintage, gift from friend / shoes: Clarks / bracelets: grandma's necklaces

After the proclamation my parents and I headed to an Italian restaurant where we once ate when I was six or something, so obviously I didn't remember. After some long thinking I eventually chose a pizza with ham, mushrooms and egg. My dad got the Canneloni Bolognese and my mum got the most delicious scampi's with Diablo sauce. My pizza was great, my dad's canneloni wasn't my style but he said it was great too and my mum's dish was the best ever. I just love spicy dished, it's how I roll.

   

Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend!
