My love for pretty handbags has always been there, but since I'm currently doing my internship in the <u><b>high-end fashion industry</b></u>, my love for designer handbags has grown into an obsession. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working amidst all these gorgeous bags made it impossible for me not to drool over the gorgeousness of them and so, a wishlist is in order. Will this wishlist ever be ticked off? Probably not. But hey, a girl can dream right?</div>

Micellar waters, the true wonder child of skincare. For those who don't get skincare obsessed; <b><u>micellar waters </u></b>have been the big thing in the beauty world. The idea? A light liquid makeup remover that is powerful, but feels just like water and is perfect for sensitive skin.<br><br>I compared the three most popular, and easiest to get your hands on, miccelar waters. Read my review below!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Although the title of this blog post might suggest a surprise pregnancy, I'm actually just obsessed with the color that is <b><u>Baby Blue</u></b>. I saw it for the first time somewhere on Pinterest and just went crazy for this stunning unique color that just screams <u><b>spring</b></u>, but is<u><b> surprisingly winter appropriate</b></u> as well.<br /><br />Because of the move, a heavy closet cleanout happened, and so I was out hunting for some <b><u>new spring accessories</u></b> to vamp up some looks. Literally every single webshop I visited featured this <i>gorge </i>shade, varying from shoes to blouses to bags. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I couldn't do anything else than create a wishlist and afterwards make <u><b>a few cheeky purchases.</b></u> You'll hear more about these purchases later, but you can already check out my baby blue wishlist! </span></div>

I've been dreaming in baby blue lately. Wherever I go, this amazingly pretty shade of me follows me and tries to lure me in. "I'm such a unique blue color, buy me!". Yup, I should probably visit a psychiatrist soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyhow, I wanted to share the inspirational images that got me ob-sessed with capital O. Literally every brand or webshop has now picked up on it, which I'm really not unhappy about. (My wallet is though).</div>

While <b><u>moving day</u></b> is coming closer and closer, our ideas for the apartment have come together. The furniture has been picked, the kitchen equipment is all packed to go and I'm currently living in between boxes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But as I've started to notice, <b><u>decor</u></b> is a necessity in an apartment with all white walls, since it really brings together the rooms and gets rid of the emptiness and a look that is 'too clean'. My solution and ultimate obsession lately? Copper decor! Check out my favorite picks:</div>

Just today I discovered the Parisian brand <b><u>Sessùn</u></b>, which is known for its <u><b>bohemian, eclectic style</b></u>. Founder and designer Emma François was inspired to found her label in 1996 by a trip to South America. Her collections are <u><b>feminine, comfortable</b></u> and consist of cute dresses, cotton separates and fine knitwear.</div>

I never thought I'd freak out about something like <b><u>tableware</u></b>. However, these plates, glasses and bowls got me VERY excited. I now am truly convinced that these items can finish off any interior. I mean come on, tableware as gorgeous as this must make your meals more delicious, no?<br>

Lately I've been guilty of cheating on makeup with interior. I know I know, it just happened... What is the cause of this deceit? After four years of whining about my intense wish to decorate my own first apartment, my boyfriend gave me the green light to start thinking about interior stuff for <u><b>our future First Apartment together</b></u>.<br>
<br>
Him scoring his first job enabled me to <u><b>start looking for interior inspiration</b></u> and I wanted to share with you what we came up with together.<br>
<br>
We are lucky to kind of have the same style of interior. We both like <u><b>modern design</b></u>, with a <b><u>sniff of Scandinavian and Asian design</u></b> and <b><u>vintage pieces</u></b> of decor here and there, as you can see below.<br>

I finally had some time to visit the <u><b>& Other Stories store in Antwerp</b></u> that opened a few months ago.

My favorite thing about fall is probably the dark lip that makes its comeback. Whether you opt for a vampy shade with purple undertones or simply a deeper red that is more in your comfort zone, a darker lip in fall suits everyone. Plus it makes your teeth look whiter!</div>

I went to visit my doctor, who had told me that I had to follow a diet for medical reasons. Then <b><u>she dropped a bomb on me</u></b> like nothing else.<br />
<br />
After mentioning that I couldn't eat any crisps, I couldn't eat normal bread, barely any fruit, no sauces, and so much more food restrictions, she hesitantly said: "Oh. And you're not allowed to wear any lipsticks or lip products for three weeks, maybe longer." I blinked. And laughed. "What? No lipstick? <b><u>Forrealz</u></b>?" She nodded.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHYV4_4mVaw/VFEmkXhgAkI/AAAAAAAADgw/altikuVLRMw/s1600/55ba524c0de7355c838c2db7ae8c73e030.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHYV4_4mVaw/VFEmkXhgAkI/AAAAAAAADgw/altikuVLRMw/s1600/55ba524c0de7355c838c2db7ae8c73e030.png" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This may seem very superficial to you, dear reader, but no one keeps my lipstick away from me. <u><b>Makeup is my identity, makeup is who I want to be in the morning</b></u>, makeup is the choice of the day: will I be a nonchalant looking student with a smoked out lash line, a young woman with a bright red lip or a bronzed up goddess (no giggles allowed)? Most of all, I love my makeup. One of my favorite moments of the day is putting on my makeup because I can translate my entire mood into my look and look so much fresher, more daring, and <b><u>create any version of myself</u></b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H3Q59Pr2BUs/VFEmpDDosqI/AAAAAAAADg4/Yzerm3c2ZeQ/s1600/1344608194798_6868856.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H3Q59Pr2BUs/VFEmpDDosqI/AAAAAAAADg4/Yzerm3c2ZeQ/s1600/1344608194798_6868856.png" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So, what to do about six weeks without lipstick? I've been quitting lipsticks for five weeks now, and am losing my mind... I kid. Jokes aside, I miss it, but I do have some <b><u>tips and tricks to draw the focus away from the lips.</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Trick #1:</b><br />
<b><u>Giant lashes and lots of liquid eyeliner.</u></b><br />
I've been making my eyes seem rounder and more doll like thanks to lots of mascara and liquid liner around the outer corners and middle part of my lash line. A little matte shadow in the crease and bam, you're done! I like to overdo it just a smidge, to recreate the sixties vibe.<br />
<br />
<b>Trick #2:</b><br />
<b><u>Pinched cheeks.</u></b><br />
The I-just-casually-walked-around-the-English-moors look. Red, flushed cheeks will give the illusion of an inner glow and healthy color on the cheeks from romantically walking out and about along the English countryside at the break of dawn. If only. Can I live in a Jane Austen novel, please?!<br />
<br />
<b>Trick #3:</b><br />
<b><u>Just bitten.</u></b><br />
When all else fails: a traditional approach. Biting the lips to achieve the 'just kissed' look. Classic.<br />

The beanie trend has been here for quite a while, but I always considered it not to be something for me. Just recently, I was strolling around the<b><u> men's department at H&M</u></b> in the footsteps of my boyfriend since we were desperately looking for shirts for him. I then fell in love with a gorgeous beanie!</div>

Of all brands, MAC is probably the one that is pretty high up the list of <b><u>best eyeshadows.</u></b> People go crazy for them and they offer an insane amount of colors and finishes. Pre-made palettes aren't really a thing at MAC, instead you usually <u><b>select shades individually or save up for a big palette.</b></u> I decided a few years back on the latter.<br><br>If you take a look at my palette below, you'll see that it's not completely full yet. So yes, this is proof that I still show some form of resistance when it comes to makeup, right?</div>

Today I'm here with a review of the <b><u>Emma Hardie cleansing balm</u></b>. First things first, what the fudge is a cleansing balm? It is a product with a balm consistency that is used to cleanse off makeup. The Emma Hardie once is especially famous because of its luxurious scent and feel. Let's hop into the review!</div>

Yeah, I'm an autumn girl through and through! I love all the wine red, oxblood red and rich warm, colors. I love the rainy weather without ice cold temperatures, the amazing seasonal Starbucks drinks, the cosy fireplaces and the amazeballs dishes with lots of heavy sauces.<br />
<br />
Okay, you get it, I love autumn. My love for the UK and my 6 month stay there in 2012 certainly has something to do with it. <b><u>But what sparked my autumn love so early on in the year? </u></b>This campaign video by Mulberry. It brings me back to my second home and makes me want to only wear tartans, scarves and knitted socks all year round. Can we do that, please?<br />

Antwerp is my home and my city (although I grew up outside Antwerp, sssht don't tell anyone). Me and Mr. Boyfriend recently noted that we'd actually never gone sightseeing in our own city. To settle that matter right away, we spent a tourist day in Antwerp and discovered neighborhoods and shops we'd never been before. </div>

Yes, I've kind of been on an <b><u>Yves Saint Laurent </u></b>kick lately. I purchased the <u><b>Touche Eclat foundation</b></u> a while back, but it took me some weeks to find out exactly how to apply it best and before I was able to test its wear time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here you can see a *beautiful* before and after photo, don't mind bare-faced me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5gdfz_aqUcM/U8Z1VamnFLI/AAAAAAAADNk/eB8K_tNaxVM/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5gdfz_aqUcM/U8Z1VamnFLI/AAAAAAAADNk/eB8K_tNaxVM/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" height="320" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Touche Eclat foundation is an extent of the <u><b>Touche Eclat pen</b></u>, which has been one of YSL's bestsellers for years. 'Touche Eclat' literally means 'shining touch' or 'illuminating touch'. YSL claims the foundation should give you a glowing, healthy complexion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_v5oU3xphaE/U8Z04uDVqtI/AAAAAAAADNc/tZWsQ1t64Qc/s1600/IMG_2757b.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_v5oU3xphaE/U8Z04uDVqtI/AAAAAAAADNc/tZWsQ1t64Qc/s1600/IMG_2757b.jpg.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Packaging</u></b>: no complaints here. The product comes in a beautiful glass bottle with golden details. The pomp works perfectly and the see-through packaging ables you to see how much product is left in the bottle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yu83ilUjl0w/U8Z0K0gPVAI/AAAAAAAADNQ/SbA4RQ0aXbc/s1600/IMG_2762.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yu83ilUjl0w/U8Z0K0gPVAI/AAAAAAAADNQ/SbA4RQ0aXbc/s1600/IMG_2762.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Shade range</b></u>: I was able to choose between a wide range of 16 shades. Unfortunately the sales person first recommended me to pick up <b><u>shade BR40</u></b>, which is way too dark for me, even when my skin is tan. Since I couldn't return the bottle, I then had to purchase<b> <u>shade B10</u> </b>so I could mix the shades. I really wasn't happy about this, since the foundation is already expensive enough without having to buy a second shade to match the color to your skin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Left: shade B10 </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Right: shade BR40</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Application: </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Here I have no product on my face. Enjoy the nakedness of my skin. Oh, and I have <u><b>acne-prone, combination skin with an oily T-zone, redness and dark circles.</b></u> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xTSCeIb7E7Q/U8ZzA17-hmI/AAAAAAAADMQ/OfpgzziPBR0/s1600/IMG_2714a.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xTSCeIb7E7Q/U8ZzA17-hmI/AAAAAAAADMQ/OfpgzziPBR0/s1600/IMG_2714a.jpg.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Here I applied the Touche Eclat foundation with my <u><b>Real Techniques complexion sponge</b></u>. The coverage is <b><u>medium to high coverage</u></b>, it's quite <b><u>buildable</u></b>. The sales assistant at Ici Paris XL told me this product wasn't very glowy or shiny, but I strongly disagree. It leaves a v<u><b>ery glowy finish</b></u> on my skin, so I definitely need to powder after the application of the foundation. It does hold up quite well during the day, which I didn't expect.<br />
<br />
Without a primer, but with a light powder, it would probably last me around <u><b>8 hours</b></u>. I'd have to <b><u>powder the T-zone</u></b> after about 3 to 4 hours though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TshWGz4K9M8/U8ZzhjksA7I/AAAAAAAADMo/xs9Z-RynbbM/s1600/IMG_2715b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TshWGz4K9M8/U8ZzhjksA7I/AAAAAAAADMo/xs9Z-RynbbM/s1600/IMG_2715b.jpg" height="398" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Then I applied some concealer.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
4. Then I powdered and finished off the look with blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>PRO's</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Looks quite skinlike but flawless at the same time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Sits nicely on the skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Holds up well during the day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Many shades in the range</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>CON's</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Mixing <b>shades</b>: I hate that I had to purchase a second shade to match because the sales assistant didn't pick the right foundation shade. But this of course doesn't affect the quality of the problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- <b>Price</b>: it's definitely pricy, you'll pay around the €42 mark at <a href="http://www.iciparisxl.be/nl_BE/YVES-SAINT-LAURENT/Gezichtsmake-up/cbCQXAqLsBE1EAAAE0QuRN4NnI?SearchParameter=%26%40QueryTerm%3D*%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%252FY_jAqLsBv4QAAAEl8D9nTgQD%3DLMrAqLsBMFwAAAElABJnTgfO%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%3DY_jAqLsBv4QAAAEl8D9nTgQD%26-HideFromSearch%3Dtrue&ShowProductImageView=&ShowProductListView=" target="_blank">Ici Paris XL</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- The <b>finish</b> is a bit too glowy for me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Conclusion</b></u>: I'll definitely keep wearing this foundation and enjoy it, but probably won't repurchase it. I like my foundations to be a bit more matte, and with a lighter coverage. It's not a bad product at all though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="text-align: left;">Summer is pretty much over for now in Belgium, and as usual I've finished many many books while being on holiday in Greece. Here's a summery of my favorite summer reads!</span></div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1. George R.R. Martin - A game of thrones</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I've finally jumped on the all-too-famous bandwagon. And yes, I'm extremely late to the nerdish party. I am so hooked, can't wait to read all of the other books of the series and am currently watching the series 'cause I just can't wait. The characters are great and the writing style is addictive! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2. William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A true classic, of course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3. J.K. Rowling - Quidditch through the ages </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I grew up with Harry Potter, and J.K. Rowling truly brings back the little kid in me. She wrote three booklets from the wizarding world for Comic Relief, which I find just as amazing as the cute stories from the booklets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4. Tamara Mellon - In her shoes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This book tells the story of the co-founder of famous shoe brand Jimmy Choo. It was interesting to follow her professional journey in the fashion industry, she definitely did not take the typical career path to get where she was when writing the book, which was nice to discover, but also kind of irritated me at times. All in all a good book to get you ready for school, college, a new job or just to get back to work with a good attitude! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>5. Alexa Chung - It</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've always had kind of a girl crush on Alexa, so this was on my reading list for a long time. Don't expect any kind of memoirs or very personal story here. Alexa shares some of her best fashion and beauty tips and offers us some very light reading. Perfect for on the beach!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have you read any of these books? What was your fave summer read?<br />

There's nothing quite like a <u><b>red lace-detail dress</b></u>. It's cute in the summertime, beautiful for Christmas and romantic for Valentine's Day. So all in all, a <u><b>wardrobe staple</b></u>, I believe. I like combining it with some <b><u>black accessories</u></b>, which gives the outfit an edgy feel. </div>

Though this look is a very simple and easy-to-do look, it's definitely effective. It makes you look clean, and feminine. The pop of color on the lips and the winged out liner makes it just that tad bit more fun. I also fell in love with the Naked3 palette after doing Maxime's makeup. I just might have to take a look at it... ;-)<br />

When I was a little girl, I really wasn't all that much into makeup. The only item that could spark my interest, when my mom went to beauty counters were the <b><u>shiny, golden lipstick tubes from Yves Saint Laurent </u></b>(YSL). When I started to earn some money as a teenager, I would take a look at these lipsticks every time I went to a beauty counter. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a hard time finding the perfect shade for me, but when I took a look at the four YSL Rouge Volupté spring/summer 2014 shades a few weeks ago, I was completely smitten. I picked up two colors on the spot: the <b><u>YSL Rouge Volupté</u></b> in <u><b>31 Fuchsia Tourbillon/Fuchsia Storm</b></u> and <u><b>32 Corail Jalouse/Jealous Coral</b></u>. Read on to find out what I think of these hyped-up, legendary high-end lipsticks.</div>

<b><u>USE</u></b>: When applying, the lipsticks feel extremely <u><b>soft, buttery and comfortable </b></u>on the lips. They are very creamy, and so don't stain the lips very much (the pink shade stains the lips lightly) and you'll definitely have to<u><b> reapply after having a drink, eating or kissing.</b></u><br />
<br />
<u><b>Then why splurge on these babies?</b></u> They're definitely a luxury item and you pay the price for the beautiful packaging and amazingly creamy texture that is unique. The shade range is also stunning. But keep in mind that you don't get a lot of staining or staying power out of them.<br />

<br />
+ Extremely creamy and buttery<br />
+ Beautiful shade range (especially the newer ones)<br />
+ The more vibrant and newer shades stain lightly<br />
+ Luxurious and beautiful gold packaging<br />
<br />
- The price tag: about €30<br />
- Wear time is around 3 hours, don't expect amazing staying power here<br />
<br />
<u><b>CONCLUSION</b></u>: I feel like every beauty addict should have one of these in their collection. They are definitely expensive, and you don't get a good staying power in return. But they are stunning on the lips, feel very smooth and comfortable and simply make you feel chic and very ladylike. A feeling every woman has to experience once in a while.<br />

Have you tried these YSL lipsticks?<br />
