Wishlist: Baby Blue

Although the title of this blog post might suggest a surprise pregnancy, I'm actually just obsessed with the color that is Baby Blue. I saw it for the first time somewhere on Pinterest and just went crazy for this stunning unique color that just screams spring, but is surprisingly winter appropriate as well.

Because of the move, a heavy closet cleanout happened, and so I was out hunting for some new spring accessories to vamp up some looks. Literally every single webshop I visited featured this gorge shade, varying from shoes to blouses to bags. 

I couldn't do anything else than create a wishlist and afterwards make a few cheeky purchases. You'll hear more about these purchases later, but you can already check out my baby blue wishlist! 

1. New Look - Pale Blue Colour Block Cut Out High Vamp Block Heels

2. Herschel Supply Co Little America - Travel backpack

3. Whistles - Baby Blue Clutch

4. New Look - Pale Blue Textured Fine Knit Boxy Top

5. New Look - Wide Fit Pale Blue Caged T-Bar Sandals

6. New Look - Anita and Green Pale Blue Duster Coat

7. Rebecca Minkoff - Mini M.A.B. Tote

Do you have your eye on anything in this shade? Or is there any spring shade you're as obsessed with? 

Thanks for reading!

Spring fashion haul: pastels!

Hey everyone!

Technically it's already spring, but here in Belgium, it's actually snowing. Yeah, you read it correctly. IT'S SNOWING! No wait, it's more like a blizzard... Now don't get me wrong, I love snow, but only when it's being accompanied by christmas songs, a warm fireplace and lots of turkey. But after New Year's Eve, snow is a forbidden form of precipitation in my book.

To try to forget about the snow, I did what every woman does when she feels down. I shopped. I shopped a lot. Spring seemed to be shouting at me and waiting around every corner to jump in front of me and scream "Hey you, buy me, you'll look great!" and I gave in like a purring kitty that just got a furry toy.

The first kind of fashion item that made me go berserk, were pastel colored items. Last year, I was convinced that this trend wouldn't suit me. But this year, I fell in love with the sweet colors that reminded me of macaroons, flowers and taking naps in meadows.

It started out with pants. I know, so innocent. I needed lots of pants, since I had thrown away all my bad pairs and was left with just one very nice pair of Levi's. One pair of pants? That's not livable! I entered the dressing room with a whole stack of pants, thinking I would be incredibly lucky to even find one pair that fitted me. As it turned out, almost every pair fitted me. I bought two pairs of jeggings, two pairs of normal jeans and then the pastel colored pants caught my eye. And I was in love. I bought three pairs, one in a coral-pink color, a sky-blue color and a mint green color. Take a look at these beautiful babies!

All three pairs are from Yessica (C&A). On the way to the cash register I fell in love with this light coral-pink scarf and in my happy buzz I just grabbed it and hopped to the queueing line without thinking about it. Afterwards, I purchased this mint green baggy top at H&M and I got this striped coral-pink knitted sweater at Primark a few months ago.

And last but not least there's this amazing clutch I got at Primark for just three pounds! I think every girl would agree with me that three pounds for this clutch is a STEAL!

What do you think? Are pastel colors the it-trend for this spring and summer? What trend do you prefer?
