Package from Dressgal #1

Hey guys,

How have you all been? Sorry for being absent again for a little bit but I'm back with a new post. I said previously that I was feeling a little lost and this carried on for a while longer but I am starting to heal and come back to myself again.

So what's new? Well, my mom officially moved to Germany a week ago which is absolutely crazy! I was both excited and terrified but it seems she is loving it there which makes me verrrryyy happy. I miss her all the time though, but that's something I have to get used too. Apart from that, things have been absolutely hectic with work; my close friend was given the green light by the doctors after his surgery and came back to work on Friday, it's nice to have him back. Otherwise we are headed out for a sushi dinner tomorrow night.. of course it's gonna be hilarious and full of great memories as always.

I recently got a generous package from Dressgal who contacted me asking if I wanted to pick out $25 worth of clothes. I picked out a whole bunch of versatile things that I can wear in winter, summer, work, not work, whichever. What I love about these kind of stores is how you can try out trends for super affordable prices. 

In total I picked out 5 things, one of which didn't fit but that's okay. In today's post I styled two of the items that I got. The first is this beaaaaautiful patterned skirt and the second these whacky but hella cool cat-eye sunglasses. I wore this outfit for work but loved how put together and chic it was, so I had to share it with you guys!

Hope you love it as much as I do. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Light and love,
xx

Hello my lovelies! 

How was everyone's weekend? 

It was a hard week for me.. got some unexpected and disappointing news; I learned the true colors of some of the people in my life, so just been trying to register it all and make sense of it. For that reason my weekend was definitely one of self-love and self care. I meditated, did yoga and went swimming in the evening on Saturday. Sunday, my family and I spent alllllll day the beach; I got to enhance my kick ass tan! 

So, a couple of weeks ago I got contacted by DressLink again, this time telling me I could pick out some clothes. DressLink is such a wonderful place to buy awesome trends for a totally affordable price. I thought I would go for one clothing item, boho and another item to be a little bit more out of my comfort zone. I picked out this sporty dress with gold accents and cut outs on the sleeve. It is super comfortable and got that sport luxe with a bit of a minimal vibe. I wore this on casual Friday to work and made it my own with some grungy elements like the tattoo choker and the beaten up converse. 

I also shot this adorable bell sleeved off-the-shoulder black crop top I picked out and it will be up on the blog soon, so stay tuned. 

Light and love,
xx

Hi petals, 
How are you all doing? 

It's Friday tomorrow woooo. It's been a long week of work and I'm so ready for the weekend. If you haven't heard on my social media I cut my hair on Monday and I am head over heels for it! I will post a picture at the end of the blog post :3 

Apart from that, not much has been happening, but I have been loving this Deep House vocal mix that you can listen to here.  It's really good for summer and has great vocals. It's really weird because a lot of people need calm music to work but I'm quite the opposite, great upbeat bouncy electronic music gets me into the zone.

Alright, so now onto what you're really here for the outfit. I'm absolutely in love with how this look turned out because it's got that all white vibe but still has those funky multicolored polka dots and a VERY statement lip. This outfit is very lightweight for summer but still super cute, chic and put together without having to try too hard. I guess that's because a statement lip can make any outfit. 

Let me know what you think in the comments and what's your favorite statement color to wear on your lips?

Light and love,
xx

So this evening my sister left to Costa Rica and I miss her already. She's stopping in Amsterdam for a few days first so that she can visit a friend but yeah she's just so lucky. She definitely has earned the vacation though! Luckily enough my sister and I pre-shot some outfits so I'll be posting while she's away and you won't have to miss me ehehehehe.

As I'm writing this my boyfriend and his class are graduating high school and I could not be more proud of him. I remember it being me like it was yesterday. It's crazy how fast time goes by, it has already been a year since the day I graduated. My life hasn't been as busy as I intended since I finished but I am definitely not the same person I once used to be, sometimes I can't even recognize the girl from the past (in a good way.) I've become kinder to myself, more comfortable in my own skin and definitely more proud of who I am. 

Hahah alright, so onto today's outfit. In the evening when I'm going for a casual drink with the girls or perhaps an evening beach party, I like to wear something that says effortlessly chic. I think that I captured that feeling really well in this outfit. The dressy floral top tucked into the laid-back shorts looks very relaxed but adding some clog sandals makes the outfit look more put together.

Light and love,

xx
