70's outfit + golden eyes

Yes, I did actually enjoy 007 golden eye (the videogame on the N64, not the movie. I can't seem to get myself to ever finish a 007 movie unless I actually go see them in the theatre) but these particular golden eyes are the eyes of yours truly! I love golden eyeshadows. They look amazing with my eyes and skintone (though I think that it looks great with basically every skintone and eyecolor, on darker skinned people with brown eyes <3 as well as blondes with baby blues), maybe change the kind of gold to your liking. I love all kinds of golds. I love the more bronze-brown gold, the vintage dark gold, the bright yellow-gold, I think it's the shimmer I like the most. I remember I got my first golden eyeshadow (baked) on my thirteenth birthday and I was too scared to wear it with it being such a strong color. Now, 5 years later, I do actually use it. And yes, I now confessed that I don't hold myself to the dates that come on the back of the make up boxes. I have make up that I stole from my sister when I was eleven or something that I still use (no worries sis, it's a black kohl pencil, nothing special :-D) and it's always been okay. I do try to apply my make up with clean brushes and sponges (I try to clean them once every 2-3 weeks). The only product I actually do throw away once the date on the back has passed is mascara. But my mascara usually doesn't last that long since the expiration date is around twelve months and I finish my mascara's in less than a year. Do you guys actually "listen" to the expiration dates on your make up? When I have a little more time on my hands I'm gonna do a make up post with all the eyeshadows and lipsticks I own, I always love to see pictures of other peoples make up so I'm guessing you do too! :-D

I kind of wish I had some awesome seventies clunky wedges to wear with this dress. Some heels I could still walk in that just give the illusion of being elegant. :-D

I really like my ass in that dress. Just sayin'. Now for the make up!

I have the perfect rusty-red lipstick to wear with golden eyeshadows! I love the golden shimmer it has.

My nails here were still a little blueish from washing out the dye in my hair.

A little announcement: I'm gonna be moving! Our house is falling apart and luckily we found a cute little place not too far from here. While the house we now live in has this gorgeous garden I will definitely miss, I will not miss the leaky roof, the cracks in the walls that let in all kinds of cold during the winter, the walls that seem to be coming down and the electricity that sometimes just likes to give up on us. Yes, this house is a freaking mess and I think I won't fully realise how strange it's gonna be to live in a normal house where you don't have to worry whether the livingroom will stay dry during the rain or not. I have set my heart on painting the walls of my bedroom along the lines of this (but more colors, just this pixel-y technique):

Which is gonna be awesome. Or I get a Zelda wall!

That'd be freaking awesome. :-D Have a lovely day!

Blue, purple and pink

Ready for awesome hair? READY?!

Okay I won't keep you waiting any longer. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

GAH so happy! Colors used: Violet, Neon Blue and Flamingo Pink, all from Directions, bought at Beeunique! My friend did my hair, he always does such a wonderful job, he puts in so much effort to make my hair look awesome and that's just one of the many reasons why I want to marry him! He always said he wasn't much of an artist but he always does a great job at dying my hair. Who needs a hairdresser when you have an awesome partner? I wish he would let me dye his hair. :-( I'd give him yellow and green hair and it'd look awesome. PLEASE? And a mohawk! :-D This has to come on my bucket list. 'Dye his hair. Mohawk Optional.' Ah well, I might get a mohawk myself, one day. I can't believe how gorgeous my hair is. I love love love 'neon blue', gosh what a beautiful color. I've had a different purple, 'plum', before, and I like this one so much better. It's so much more vibrant and colorful, and the pink! The pink is just perfection. You can probably tell I'm really happy. Every time I look in the mirror I go *GASP* ! Have a lovely day, babes, and let's spread the color!

Blues and greens

A little good news! Remember my last post? I stated that, here in Belgium, you can't give your kid the mother's last name unless you're completely single or divorced for at least 300 days. Well, apparently someone in our government reads my blog (hahaha not really but MAYBE THEY DO....) and today my sister linked me a newsarticle, with one of our female politicians in the government stating that she wants to change that law! We're not quite there yet because she wants to give the kid double last names instead of just LETTING THE PARENTS CHOOSE the freaking last name but still, it's getting there! That same politician is all about gender equality so YAY! If I could vote for her I would! Thank you guys so much for your awesome feedback on my last blogpost, I love talking to people about the stuff that I think is important and I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Not much to say apart from the former. I just bought some new boots in the sales here, BEST BOOTS EVER, exactly what I was looking for and only 55 euro thanks to the 50% off! Bought some other things too, I'll do a sale post in a couple of days with all the stuff I bought! I bought a skirt, a sweaterdress, a cardi, a denim shirt and a black sweater with some multicolored details. And KNICKERS, hihihihi. :-D I'm afraid the knickers aren't very sexy. I'm more about cute, lacy, colorful underwear than black, red and sexy stuff I guess. It's the stuff that's in the underwear that counts, though! Maybe I'll do a bra post? I have an egg to peal (hahaha that's a dutch saying, meaning that you have something you really want to talk about/are about to confront someone) with underwear stores/companies, involving making good, supporting, pretty bras for big boobehs, so I have some stuff for an underwear-related post. Let me know if you'd like that! For now, a colorful outfit! I still have some old outfits lying around and I really liked this one! So enjoy! :-)

Now I want to cut my bangs. I think I will, tomorrow! How do you feel about bright pink lippy? OH I also want to share zebra nails with you!

Easy and awesome! All you need is a white base, black nailpolish, a thin brush and that's it! Just paint some black stripes over the white, try to make them a little shapely and maybe make them lead into a split stripe. Super easy and it's such a cool look, I totally recommend it! Hope you lovelies had a lovely day and I'll catch ya later!

The girl with the animal hat

I'm going to introduce you lovely people to my little beastie: the wolf hat.

I got it from my sister last year for my birthday/christmas and I have been loving it deeply ever since. Not only because it's adorable and so strange I can wear it with everything and nothing but also because you get a lot of reactions from random people in the streets when you wear something like this. Some see it and think 'OMG so adorable!' and come up to me to say that I'm wearing the most awesome hat ever to be seen in the universe and some look at me like I'm mentally deranged. I once had this lovely little experience, I went to get something at our local supermarket and I came across a cranky cashier. It was around the holidays last year and he was helping customers with a kind of farmer with a toothache (lovely dutch expression :-D) smile but looked like he was cursing under his breath. Once it was my turn to pay for my groceries he looked at me, looked at my hat and suddenly a big smile appeared on his face. He laughed and said 'cool hat! lovely holidays to you!'. I don't ever care if he was laughing at me or not, it's nice to bring a smile to people's faces sometimes. And young kids are CRAZY about this hat. Once they see my hat I feel like a celebrity with everyone pointing and smiling at me.

I find it so strange that something so simple like a hat with a snout can cause such big reactions relative to the freaking hat. It always makes me think of the princess boy, just a boy who likes to wear dresses and princessy clothing. While to some people it's just kid in a dress, a lot of people go beserk saying that it's unnatural and of course, that his parents are "turning him gay" or what not. That it's "inappropriate" and that he should just "act normal" because he'll get bullied in school anyways. And I get so fucking pissed when I hear that statement. Change your behaviour because other people are too ignorant to deal with something that might be a little out of the ordinary. That's basically saying that, if the kid just wants to be who he/she is, there's gonna be bullying and it's his/her own fault! No, don't talk to the bullies, don't do anything in favor of acceptance. Be normal, that's crazy enough. BAH HUMBUG, to stay in the holiday spirit. I solemnly swear, right now, that if I ever have kids, they will freaking wear whatever the hell they want. I will argue and if necessary, fight for their right to be who they are. Shouldn't we all? Dresses, jeans, as long as it's a little season/age appropriate, go crazy kids! Boys in high heels, girls in combat boots, what's the harm in that? Apart from the feet of the boys, no harm done. And I sincerely hope that, if we want to prevent people being bullied, we talk about bullying, ignorance, insecurities, ... in stead of giving kids, who might look, think, talk a little different, a lesson on how to not BE bullied. We have to start early with this kind of thing, before you know it they grow up to be an adult who thinks that gay couples shouldn't be able to adopt kids because the kid will get bullied.

Now, the infamous animal hat:

It's also delightfully warm, by the way! OH and I hope you guys had a lovely christmas! :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & ode to awesome boyfriend

TO ME! :-D Here I am with my birthday post! I'll show you my presents, cake and outfit! Get ready!

On exactly the first minute of my birthday I got my first present from my boyfriend. A little box black box. Of course the first thing you think when you see a box like that is 'ZOMG it's a ring!' and I was hoping for a little jewellery from my guy! This was the box:

Pretty cute, right? My boyfriend usually sucks at wrapping gifts but he did his best and it looked so adorable! Inside, there was a gorgeous ring and a little note saying 'To the happiness in my life, happy birthday. I love you'. *melts*

Gorgeous, right? I love this kind of jewellery, colorful and feminine but not too girly and petite. When I wear tiny rings it kind of looks like my finger is eating the ring. I have a bit of chubs on my fingers. :-D

I love this ring and it shows that my boyfriend really knows what I like! Perfection! We always kind of use birthdays/anniversaries as little tests to show how well we know each other. Books, movies, jewellery, we know how to make each other happy! I also got these amazing earrings:

Again, LOVE! He knows what I love down to a T.

These are all the presents I got from my man, including the ring, earrings, 'The West Wing' box set (one of my favorite tv shows of all time! C.J. Cregg is my homegirl!), a beautiful shade of lipstick (bright peachy!) and a subscription to my favorite photography magazine for a whole year!!! I'm so incredibly happy with all the presents and I'll be enjoying all of them for a long time! I got some presents from my mom too, who never knows what to buy. :-D:

I was out of bodylotion and face cream so that came in handy, the plaid thingie underneath the bottle are pyjamas and a claire's giftcard. I saw a couple of things in claire's that I wanted so I told my mom to go to there if she didn't know what to buy me. She went to claire's but still didn't know what to buy so she gave me a gift card. Which was the sensible thing to do really, at least now I know I got some stuff I actually like. I just went to claire's yesterday and bought 4 pairs of earrings and a red glittery headband. Gorgeous stuff! She also let me pick out some hairdyes and paid for the dyes so that was pretty cool too! I now have toner, bright yellow, bright pink, violet and neon blue to try out! Looking forward to it! OH and every birthday I get the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers from my loverboy, for romance and photography! :-D I took some lovely pictures if I can say so myself and I will be posting those pictures on my photography blog so keep your eye out!

NOW IT'S TIME FOR EPIC CHOCOLATE CAKE!

CAKE COME BACK! I love you so! Sniffles! That was the best cake ever. All made with love by me and my love! :-D Now the outfit and me featuring my new ring, earrings and lipstick!

Great lipstick! How awesome is my boyfriend? Oh and here's a picture of my doggie, running/flying;

Superdog! My day was simple, I had good food, lots of cake and tea, lovely conversations with my boyfriend and brother over skype, we made pizza and drank kiddie champagne because I hate the taste of alcohol. The only upside of turning eighteen over here is being able to drink liquor and I freaking hate drinking anything with alcohol so THANKS LAW, why not give something cool to newly turned 18 year olds instead of giving them a license to get drunk? PFOO. I don't care though because I already had the best presents ever! As I already mentioned I also got bright green knockoff doc martens from my sister, a photography book from my youngest brother and I'm hoping to receive a Legend of Zelda shirt from my oldest brother in two weeks or so! So excited for that! Thank you everybody for giving awesome presents, wishing me a happy birthday and being awesome! The day after my birthday was great too, by the way. We made sushi, watched a very short lunar eclipse and I made pictures of the lunar eclipse, sunset and flowers I got from my man. It was lovely and I can't believe I have such a wonderful man in my life.
