Clinique - BB Cream

Okay, I was going to wait with writing this post until I had made some decent before- and after-pictures so I could show you how amazing this product really is... 
But, as I can not stop talking about it - I decided to do it now anyway!

Practically all my friends on FB and Twitter have been spammed by me about Clinique's BB Cream, Age Defense SPF 30. 'Cause I am in LOVE! 


I love how my skin looks more toned, more healthy with a natural glow - even when I take it off in the evening, you see the effect. Never ever have I used foundations before during spring or summer, but this BB Cream is so light, it feels like I'm applying my daily dose of Moisture Surge! 


I'm almost through my BB-supply, and the last days I have been very careful applying it because I don't want it to run out. You'll have to wait just a few more days thus, before you can see the before and after but if you're curious, go ahead to my sister's blog and check out what Clinique BB has done for her! 


You can find Clinique's BB Cream exclusively on Clinique.be. 
I use shade 1, for very pale skin like mine. Perfect match!

La Fille d'O

I finally made it to Ghent. As my sister already revealed last week*, we headed over to the city since -as they say- "we were in desperate need for some 'O". My favorite la fille d'O-pieces were literally falling apart and we wanted to get our hands on some coveted pieces before they all sold out.

A few days before, I made up (read: drew up) my wish list (with the webshop as my guide), only to realize that two must-haves were no longer available in my size; No, wonders & faces will never be mine. But as my list is never a short one, I happily tried on naughty (bikini** top in s1 black) & nerve (bikini pants in s2 black). I already have both designs in about 3 different colors/fabrics, and as they are my all time favorite lfd'O-designs, deciding wasn't that hard at all. But I never leave Maison d'O with just one set of undergarments. After a lot of pondering and 'omg-i-want-them-all-i-can't-choose', I went ahead and got blue hotel, a lovely black mini-dress. I immediately fell in love with the supersoft fabric, those subtle see-through details and its lovely shape. I got so excited that I decided that 'no, I don't need another bra, I want to show off that dress' and -as my boyfriend predicted- I already wore it the next day for some (casual) family dinner parties.

But this doesn't mean there's nothing left on my wish list and I've got everything my little 'O-heart desires. I want must just get a few more things of what I tried on that day. Luckily, Murielle wrote down my sizes and thus, hurray for online stores!

Curious for more? Go visit the store in Ghent. It's well worth the trip over there, especially since Murielle 's tender love and care are a tremendous help! Her advice is priceless and I wish she had two more sets of hands so that she could design more must-haves and I could expand my all ready too large collection.

*= the bikini top my sister got, is amazing as well. I tried it on and it fitted like a glove! #shouldgetthisalso
**= note, I'm not fond of swimming, just wear them as regular lingerie

Zara - Cape

Okay, so I didn't freeze to death the past few days. I just lack patience in general to be ordering online and waiting around for my package to arrive. (The box came all the way from Madrid, btw.)

So given that impatience, I just had to wear my brand new cape already the next day. And I must admit, I'm already addicted to this warm and comfy woolen piece, 'cause I barely took it off yesterday. But, to avoid looking like some huge batman-fan, I decided for myself that a few rules apply when wearing the cape -probably for me to break in a few weeks time:
- Under no circumstances should this cape be worn without heels.
- Preferably, wear with tights or a legging in stead of a pair of jeans.
- Find yourself a nice black woolen sweater to wear underneath 'cause putting on two jackets in mid-fall is a little too much...

By the way, did I mention I'm crazy for anything with a cape?

Worn with my black short Burberry-trench, my Louis Vuitton-scarf, a Zara-legging, Ash-booties and my caviar 2.55-purse. 

NB: Seeing these pictures taken at an apple plantation, for some reason the Givenchy-ad pops to mind.  

Proenza Schouler

Just as thrilled as I was when I saw these tie-dye shirts, just as disappointed I would be when I saw the following sentence: "We are unable to deliver to countries and territories outside the US at this time." Please, dear PS, hold one green/black/white item for me in a size S for me in the meantime...

Lily and the Lady.com

If there is one girl I'm pretty jealous of at the moment, it must be Patricia! She's a fashion journalist for Belmodo.tv (think: gets to go to the coolest fashion parties ever), has an amazing wardrobe (YSL cage-sandals!) and recently moved to London (!) to study fashion communication (!!!). And to top all that, she's one of the funnest and nicest girls I know, so hating her is impossible.

So, when she told me that she and her mom would start their own web shop, I immediately knew that it would be a hit. The items they picked out for Lily and the Lady are too cute - check out my sister's wish list here - and the site looks and feels super professional yet very personal, since it provides a lot of info and feedback.

Here's a sneak peak of some of the cool pieces Lily and the Lady features - btw. I just placed my order for the Best Behavior-legging!- but make sure to explore the rest of the web shop. It's well worth it. Especially since Shark Attack-vistors will be rewarded with a 10 euro discount when placing a 50 euro-order. And, the rest of the month shipping will be free throughout the whole of Belgium!

Just enter this promotion code when adding your must-have item to the shopping bag:

Krizia explains on her blog how you do this.

Have fun and keep me posted on what you picked out for yourselves...
Oh and I want to wish both Patricia and her mom all the best with this great project! Well done!

Want - la fille d'O

I really really really need to head back to Ghent.
I really really really want this new la fille d'O creation...

By now, everyone knows I'm a huge fan of the brand, but when I noticed that Murielle recreated the Duo into a cool bathing suit I can't stop visiting the webshop and wish Wonders was already mine...
- By the way, Believes is pretty amazing too... - Still haven't figured out with matching swim-undies I want though...
