Shoes!!

Hi there!

This time I won’t be talking about makeup, but about shoes. ;) I’m quite the shoe-holic as far as my purse allows me. Heels are my absolute FAVORITE! There is no better shoe. Ok, when we talk comfortable shoes, I might go for Converse, but that’s not what I want to talk about today. (Maybe  another day?)

Anyway, since my trip to Indonesia I’ve been dying to find me some perfect shoes and unfortunately I couldn’t find the right ones (within my budget……..). That’s why I’ve been surfing around the net for the last couple of days. Here are some shoes that caught my attention (30 to be exact.. yes, I might have a slight addiction.)
I thought it’d be best if I sorted the shoes in groups:

High heels
What better than to start with high heels. Personally I browse for ‘pumps’ more than I browse for high heels, but who cares what you name them, just look at them!



I’ll start off with this nude beauty.. Oh the love! I’ve been searching like a madwoman in Indonesia and when I FINALLY found them, I had to rush past them :( Couldn’t even take a quick look T^T. I was in pain. Deep pain. [Souce]





I love nude heels but unfortunately I don’t own any. I really want a pair!

Other heels I just love and want to share:

 
 
 
Seriously  I am in love with these. *_* [source]

Male inspired shoes
I am in love with these as well!! Every time I see Spencer Hastings [Troian Bellisario] (Pretty Little Liars) I want a pair myself. (I actually have a pair that look like those. ^^)

I love Spencer’s style! I’ll write about PLL another time though. :) ..Spencer is on the left btw.

Male inspired shoes look like these! [source]

These are more feminine.. ^^ [source]



They are so cute >.<



Here you see the differences from flats to heels [source]

Somehow I’m totally in love with these!! [source]

Look at this girls entire style btw >w<

Love!!!




 Peeptoe~ I really want one of these, but I don't like the idea of a peeptoe when it's cold... (since summer didn't come to Holland) [source]


Heels! [source]

Wedge Heels 
Lately I've also been seeing a lot of wedge heels. I've never been a fan of wedge heels because I just love a thin long spike I guess XD But recently, after looking more closely there actually are a few that are pretty awesome!




Wauw! *_* [source]



The strange, exciting trendy heels
Then you also have the 'weird' shoes. I saw a few stars at the Teen Choice Awards wear some of these, like Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars).

 Not weird, persee, but look at that huuuuge block! Sorry, that's against my long thin spike way :p [source]



I'd try these, they look interesting~ [source]




 Now that's a platform! [source]
This reminds me of ice skating? [source]
These aren't weird, but a new trend is bright colors... I'm mor of a person to go with black though. I do like the colors! *-* [source]
..yeah, not weird either... but pretty nonetheless *_*. These are more wedding like I guess. (I've never been to a proper wedding!!) [source]

That were all the shoes I found the past couple of days! Sorry if it was a long read.. I'm so excited when it comes down to shoes.

(and if I have major typos, my keyboard is being a bitch lately and won't type everything I push. :( boo!!)

Anatomy of an outfit: Make up

Hey guys,

I'm going to try and make some fashion and make up related posts, because I love both subjects. I don't qualify myself as a make up guru or something (I'm not Michelle Phan!) but I'd like to share some 'looks' (they're quite simple really ^^) with all of you. :3 I'm a little nervous about this as you might notice~

Here goes!
It's a pretty simple look, but I don't wear this every day. Because of my choice of clothes I like to use a little more black.

First of all I started off clean; wash your fash (with facewash or whatever is good for your skin) and then apply some facial cream. Make sure you have one that's good for your skin type! Some facial creams can only make your skin too greasy and some even burn! But with the right one you can make your skin feel like a little baby :) If you have one with SPF it will also protect your skin against the sun (and for those who want to stay white, it will also slow down the tanning process ;p. I don't need that because I'm as white as a ghost, but when it's summer I always use my SPF 20 skin cream! This way I don't need to use other sunblock that's used for my body. BTW, I always use SPF 20, what do you guys use?)

please don't mind my face, when I wear my hair back my face turns into this round object... I call myself a bapao when that happens. I just came out of the shower so my hair is still wet.

For this look I start with eyeliner. Most people finish with eyeliner because you can manage the amount of black afterwards. I'm just really messy when it comes to lining my tightline. (The -inside- upperline of your eyes. Google it if needed!)
So line your tightline, but don't line your waterline! It will close up your eyes making them too dark. (Unless this is what you're going for.) 
I also lined the outer half of my lower lashline. Make sure it's a thin line as close to your eye as possible. Then use a cotton bud or a brush (one like on my picture) to smudge the line, as if it's fading.
I used a small pencil in stead of the usual thicker ones. You can use whichever you want, but like I said, I'm clumsy... So I don't take any risks. XD


I then use my new eyeshadow from Indonesia~ which is a simple brown color and  color my eyelids. I also used a little black eyeshadow on the outer sides of my eyelids. Sorta blending it with my already lined lines.
I like to use a brush to apply my eyeshadow, but if you have clean fingers (so you won't smudge or make your eyes greasy) you can also just apply it with your fingers.


Curl your lashes and use mascara! Evenly apply and don't forget your lower lashes. It's not a must, do as you prefer! (Bourjois Paris Clubbing Mascara)



Finish off with lipstick + gloss and voila! Everyone I know here in Holland hates lipstick, but I adore it! *O* I don't always use gloss because it's too sticky for me. (Maybelline lipstick and fruity gloss)

Well that was that. :3 I then finally did my hair, and I look a lot better XD.

I hope you liked my first make up related post XD and that you can use this look too. X3 Show me pictures if you do! =D

Aduh! Indonesia!



Hello everyone!

It's been TOO LONG! I've been to Indonesia and back and honestly, I've tried to write SO MANY TIMES but there just wasn't any time... :( I did keep my facebook status updated and also tried to keep my twitter friends posted, but writing an actual blog post with pictures and all the fancy stuff.. Nope. Gomen!!

So here it is, my first post in like a month.. yet another "This is what I'm going to do" post :(
I've been back in over a week now and I haven't been able to post anything yet because I've had 'other priorities'. I have to study for this very important resit in a couple of weeks and I'm busy (slowly but gradually) cleaning and reorganizing my tiny room with loads of stuff. A few days ago I managed to sort my closet and throw a lot of junk away; old make up, hair stuff, skin products and .. dun dun dunnn clothes!
It seems that I'm a semi-horder. It's hard for me to throw stuff away. o_o" (This scares me.)

Anywho! As I said I've been to Indonesia and I will post a lot of marvelous pictures when I sorted them all out (because there are SO MANY....)
I will also show you what I bought :3 (Since Indonesia is way cheaper than the Netherlands. -not to mention better for my skin/hair/mood & cuter-)

 Pink clutch, batik (pink) clutch, brown wallet thingy (I got that one for free), piggie card holder, I am your best friendS (Gotta love the engrish) card holder, a little card holder for my publictransportchipcard XD and a little box for my meds~
 A nice hat for at the beach, skinny belt, wooden bracelet (Balinese art on it), a (big) ring, a hair pin, a cross necklace <3, another random necklace I got for free, a beautiful crystal (glass) necklace (I also got that one for free), a watch, an angel love (boy) necklace, wing earrings and a silver wing ring <3
 Skin products! Most of them are meant to make you whiter (not that I need that), but they're really good for my skin type. No idea what my skin type is, all I know is that those things work way better than the (EXPENSIVE) things I buy back home!!
There's also my trademark pucelle collogne. I always have one bottle with, and mostly wear it all the time. <3 LOVE.
 MY AGNES CD *________________________* <3
Other random stuff LOL! There's this one thing that will give me double eyelids, since I'm really curious if that works and what it will look like I just bought it. Will blog about my experience with it! ^_^ The blue bunny is a USB thing.. XD SO CUTE.

Well that's all for now, it's time for me to hop on into bed.. everyone, I missed you all! <3

Oyasuminasai~
