TOP TRENDS | WINTER 2013

Winter is approaching and I have been spotting a couple of trends I like for next season. In this post I show you my list I put together of my favorites.
**Just a quick disclaimer: I am not talking about high fashion/catwalk style kinda things. I feel like designer pieces like that are not made for me to wear during the day so I'm just focussing on street style.
*All pictures are from WeHeartIt.com

1. STRIPES
Striped sweaters to be exact. And black and white stripes to be even more exact. Not really sure why I feel like this is something for winter, but stripes can be very versatile. And of course the weather is getting colder and colder, at least in the place where I'm living, and a nice sweater can be very easy and comfortable on those depressing, dark days.

2. CHUNKY NECKLACES
Although the chunky necklaces have been popular for quite some time now, I think it is the perfect accessory to make winter sweaters a little bit more special. One version I have been loving lately is the chunky golden chains. They appear somewhat more subtle than other chunky necklaces, but still give a nice edgy touch to an outfit.

3. THICK WINTER COATS
This one is quite obvious since you want to be warm during winter when you're outside, but I still wanted to incorporate it in this list. Coats I especially have been liking are parkas. I just like the appearance of a somewhat oversized coat.

4. BEANIES
Unfortunately I do not own any, but I really do love the look of a beanie. And they keep your head warm of course, so it might be an essential.

5. FUZZY SOCKS
They're just so comfortable and cute. They can be a little bit too thick for wearing them in shoes, but I still really like them just to wear around the house with a cup of hot chocolate next to the fireplace.

Do you have any other trends for this winter you like?

January Favourites

WeHeartIt

January has ended and we're slowly moving on to the next month of the year. Here are some inspirational pictures I've been collecting past month which show my personal favourites of January and just pictures which made me smile.

Music
The past month I've really overplayed the album Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay. I know, the album isn't very new anymore, but since a few weeks I really, really enjoyed their songs. Probably because I've been listening to the songtexts more and finding out that they really mean a lot to me. My personal favourite of them all is Paradise for sure. I guess because I'm really into 'exploring the world' and finding out who I actually am: searching for the 'paradise'. All the other songs have something special too, something which I can't really describe. I'm going to stop about it now, because I'm really exaggerating ;)

Fashion

For my fashionable favourites I canot lie I have been (and still am) really into galaxy prints, peter pan collars and bows. The reason? No idea.

Inspiration of the moment: Handgloves/Mittens

Let's be honest with eachother for a second: who survives those cold winter-like days without warm and cozy mittens? I don't, for sure. Since the temperature dropped a few degrees here in the Netherlands, I really like to have my hands covered up in super warm mittens with fun designs so my hands will not fall off because of the really cold weather. Seriously, a few days ago the first snow fell, which is kind of extraordinairy for this time of the year, even for the Netherlands. In the night the temperature is just below zero and in daytime the temperature doesn't really get above five degrees Celsius.

So: mittens! They're available in lots of different colors and designs to match with your outfir everyday. I really like to get inspiration from the internet. I also just like to look at the pictures, they just give me a nice winterfeeling.

So busy...

First of all I think I have to apologize for my long time absence. So: I'm really, really sorry! Last week was the last week of this school year and we had to make a lot of tests! I promised myself not to go working on my blog or even touch my nail polish. I failed...
It's true I didn't wrote some new posts and stuff, because I really was too busy, but I actually did read new posts of the lovely people I'm following, so I guess I didn't miss that much.
I do have to make one test tomorrow, maths, so I can't stay with you very long, but that's really the last test of this year. I do have to tell you some things about the past few days, 'cause as I said: I actually did some nail art.
Here are some pictures of the last designs I made:

Yesterday I went to the city with my mum, just looking around and having some lunch at a tea room. It was delicious! I also went to this little shop where they sell threads and buttons and everything else you need to knit and make bracelets and so on. I bought three different colors of threads to make friendship bracelets and of course I couldn't leave them for a little while. I already finished one bracelet and I'm currently making another one :) I'm a beginner, so I'm going to make a lot of bracelets, because I really like them. I'm also going to buy some more, different colors to make even more.

In the left corner my finished candy striped friendship bracelet, on the right a chevron friendship bracelet I'm currently working on. On the top of the picture the three different colors of threads I bought. Salmon pink, light blue and white. I love these colors and I think they match perfectly!

Again really sorry for my long absence and I hope you're having a nice weekend!
