Sneakers.




If there one thing I hate it's running around with a pair of painful feet and even more hurtful toes. So, let’s face it, if you want your feet to look gorgeous, you'll have to deal with your deal of agony that just comes with your high-heeled torture chambers. But then again, you might consider giving yourself a welcome treat. Just get yourself some fancy sneakers. Very fashionable, yet ever so comfortable :) Putting these words into action, I just bought myself a pair of lovely Paul Smith sneakers on farfetch.com.
These Cooper Trainers are casual yet elegant enough to go with a dressed up blazer, white shirt and jeans.
And for those of you who never heard of farfetch.com, so check it out. I wanted to get these Cooper sneakers on Paulsmith.com, but unfortunately my size (little feet!) was out of stock, so that's when I discovered the Farfetch.com alternative! Got to love online shopping!

Love DIY but too clumsy.

I'm a huge Belmodo.tv fan. I love Tiany and her reports on everything that goes on in her fashionable life.
She does the best DIY, and I'm a big fan. I've been saying that I will start taking up sewing lessons, but it just never seems to happen... What else is new, right :) Anyway, I spotted this DIY on Tiany's Belmodo.tv and I just loved it! She makes this great Fendi frill to attach to your lumberjack shirt. Very high fashion! And, of course I would love to make one of these, but let's face it: some things are just not for Fonske...
So, I just entered the give-away at belmodo.tv and lets pray my luck will change and I'll win something for once :) 

Postponed after.




I am so very sorry it took so long! But here we go: the after mug shot :)

Before.



So, I decided to treat myself to a visit to the hairdresser's tomorrow. Relax and enjoy while baby-love plays the day away at daycare. Let's face it; sometimes mummy just needs her me-time. And a roasty hot nespresso at the Client (the best hairdressers ever!). So; this is what it looks like now. I'm going for some highlights tomorrow and think I'll have my bangs cut, to get just a little more edgy. So, if all goes well I'll post an "after"-shot tomorrow.

Lizzie.


Life's a joke. Isn't it really? Lets just enjoy living it and laughing whilst at it!

New in.



When the royal wedding was on, I felt all monarchial (is that even a word?). Anyway, the baby and myself watched it from A-Z, him waking up from his morning nap just when Kate arrived at Westminster, grrrrrr! We enjoyed watching it together. After all the fuss, I stumbled upon this super cute t-shirt by Eleven Paris, an up and coming hipster brand. So, I decided to live a little and buy it. Would look great with a pair of jeans and a cool leather jack for layed-back weekend trips to the playground.

Not just a snob.




I know, I like nice things. And most of the nice things I love, cost a handfull and then some...
But I buy a lot of lovely things at your beloved highstreet shops as well. And love to wear them, as they all say: mix and match, right?
These are some of my latest buys on highstreet. (all Zara)

Add to shopping bag.


So, I'd been craving for this Moschino musthave for quite the while now. After having bought a rip-off online (never let down your guard when browsing online markets!), I decided to just get this as a personal little treat. Plus the BF agreed this would be a nice gift for my first mother's day. So hurrah! I clicked the magical button. Add to shopping bag. And then check out. Off course.

Need me some colour.



Color is hot. Fact. However, I have always been one of those girls who swore that black is more than a color and therefore didn't need anything else hanging around in her wardrobe.
But now, with our beloved summer on its way and color blocking being mare than hot, I guess I need me some color. Let's start with this nice piece, some lovely silky green pants. Hot, right?

Instant love.



Talking about inspiration before, let me share some!
I fell in love with this outfit, plain and simple.
Love the combo, the pants are to die for!
(check out more lovely bits and pieces on http://www.fashionata.be/)

Inspired.


So, I love fashion. Does that make me a fashion blogger because I tend to do some blogging too? Guess not. Why you ask? Well, I get inspired by countless blogs, featuring magnificent outfit posts, Paris fashion week (those should in fact all be capitals as you know...) specials and then some.
I don't even get close, nor do I have the intention to do so.
I do get inspired by them, I love the fact that all those fashion addicts take the time to make sure fashion and alike get all the intention they deserve. For me to enjoy, read, watch pictures, copy looks (hell, we all do so what's the big deal?) and dream about actually owning one of those cosmopolitan sex and the city (those should be capitals too!) wardrobes. 
But you know what happens then? The washing machine buzzes and I have to get up and throw the lot into the dryer, hubbie is hungry and craves some homemade pasta and my little prince's outfit for tomorrow's playdate needs some careful consideration. So, let's just state that it's safe to say life happens to me. Nevertheless, I actually enjoy all of your blogs, I love them! Keep inspiring all of us, yummy mummies and others.
In the meantime I'll try and humbly keep you posted on my life as a fashion addicted/life struck mum :)
Share the love and live the life!

What happened.

Yet again, here I am. It's been too long again, I know. What happened? Well, too much to explain, but I guess life happened.
Maybe I'm just not meant to have a blog, seen as I hardly ever get to posting anything.
I think about things to write about all the more, like all the things I would love to get in my wardrobe, places I want to see and things I want to eat.
Because I love eating, yes I do!
Although I might have to start thinking about some tough love, in order to lose the last bits (!) of weight after my pregnancy. Seen as my little prince is already eight months old, that's no longer an excuse I guess...
So, my April resolutions: write more and eat less! How hard can that be, right?

Praise be to Mac.


So, I dropped the iPhone. It didn't die, but the screen just about did. But no worries; responsible as I am I got myself a great %ac insurance, and great it is because after only 10 days of being separated from my beloved partner in crime I will be the proud owner of a brand new white 16GB iPhone as from 8am tomorrow :) Joy to the world. So, rest assure many iPhone snapshots will follow. God, how can you not love Mac?!

Hello Paul.


So, she's got a job interview tomorrow. Yes yes, and not just an interview for any job. No; an interview at RCA Group, one of the leading communication agencies in Belgium. Hurrah for me!
Well enough reasons to go on a shopping spree and get me some nice accessories to go with my utmost professional look.
And...I got myself a 100% silky sweet Paul Smith scarf. Love at first sight alright!

By night.


Bij deze ben ik trotse eigenaar van het superleuke kant/chiffon blazertje van de "By night"-collectie van H&M.
Het staat echt super leuk, chique touch in een mooie grijstint.
Gezien het vestje in Belgiƫ enkel in Brussel te verkrijgen was, heb ik een BFF die in Nederland werkt opgetrommeld om het daar online voor me te bestellen.
Dat heet dan toch ook een "fashionnetwork",  niet? 
(vestje, €39.90)
