YOUR ANTWERP - YPS SALE

I know, I know... I said that I wouldn't be posting anymore until my BIG VACATION REVIEW get's online...BUT... Yesterday I received the news that one of my favorite stores was having a special sale and this is what happened: 

Today I spent my whole afternoon at YOUR in Antwerp. I must say, there's something 'bout this store that makes me happy each time I go there. And it's NOT because of it's location, nor is it because of the amazing architectural environment. NO, it's because no matter when I go there, no matter what month it is... I always am amazed about the awesomeness of the brands they have in store!

But back to the YPS SALE now!!! After a afternoon shopping.. I'm glad to add these four items to my wardrobe:
  1. FOLK "Cave" Jacket - a patchwork style jacket, that makes a true statement!
  2. RVLT "Camou" Jacket
  3. RVLT shirt 
  4. Milennium shirt - never wrong adding a striped shirt to your basics!
Stay tuned for some new and awesome looks...

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END

This is my last post before my big 'Vacation Review'. 

Today was the final day of my vacation in Hungary and what a day it was! I had breakfast in one of the hottest Breakfast places in Budapest (i.e. Daily), I went to a Hungarian hairdresser (you will see it in my next post!) && I visited my friends from BUBA, again ... 

Every time I visit them (since I've met them two days ago, I've been there at least 10 times!!), they've welcomed me with open arms and a big smile! 

Buba did something special for me today and I was so baffled about it that I "vined" about it immediately as she was doing it! She made me a custom made and personal (leather) wrist piece, with embellishments like no other!

The video I posted on VINE

Buba is convinced that making a piece on the hand of someone it brings fortune and prosperity to the owner. I'm convinced that she gives away a piece of her heart along with every piece she makes! 

What more can I say: I love it!!!

Because today was the last day we had to say our goodbyes, but we promised to keep in touch. My boyfriend and I were invited to come over and stay at her place whenever we visit Budapest! So we'll keep that in mind! 

I managed to learn her daughter Paula a couple of Antwerp words and I learned a bit Hungarian. We had fun & laughs... Great way to end a wonderful time!

EXTRA: Starting from next month I'll be showcasing a BUBA design of the month! Stay tuned...

TODAY'S LOOK: MODERN MARINE




Yesterday I announced with this picture on Instagram that today's outfit would be in 'Marine' style. So this is my interpretation of Marine style:

Photo taken in Budapest (Hungary)
Today's look (also on lookbook) is showcasing H&M (espadrilles), Mirror (t-shirt),  ZARA (pants and pullover), LOUIS Belgium (sunglasses) and my new favorite BUBA (accessories and broche). Read more about BUBA in my previous post. 




More updates about my vacation in Hungary will follow soon... VERY SOON!!!

SNEAK PEAK FROM HUNGARY: BUBA

Well... I'm still on holiday for a couple of days but I want you guys to have an idea of what's to come. So that's why I'm posting this 'Sneak Peek'. I am currently in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. I must say Hungary is a BEAUTIFUL country, but Budapest is even more exciting, fascinating and heartwarming than I ever imagined. 

It's not only the because of the BIG (and yes I mean BIG!!!) historical buildings and everlasting boulevards. No, it's because of the sweet, effortless and always smiling Budapestians (if that word even exists ?!). 

It is in this capital of culture that I've met owner and designer of Buba accessories (for both male and female fashion lovers), she is a sweet Hungarian female with a big heart. Her daughter (Paula), a - young blood actress, is just as sweet. We celebrated her 23rd birthday today, with champagne and plenty of songs. 

Mother and daugther run a doggy accessories/ fashion accessories shop, called "Puppy Angel", only 1 street away from the famous 'Fashion Street'. 

Buba designs and makes her fashionably items herself. She is on trend and has a talent for making things that are 'on trend', such as the skulls bracelets (see below). 

That's what makes her designs stand out. Plus, she makes every design only once. Every piece is unique!!!

My favorite leather pieces

Skulls bracelets 

Price tag of these pretty things: not more than 30 euros (shipment not included). Yes, you read it right, the Buba designs are available online and can be shipped! Just visit her facebook page and leave her a message! 

More of these Buba designs will be showcased in my next looks! Stay tuned...

TODAY'S LOOK: BLUE BREEZE

Hi Guys, greetings from Hungary! Hungary? Yes, I'm on vacation in Somogyharsagy (near Pécs). And I managed to get some interesting things to showcase. I will give you a brief review today and when I am back in Belgium you may expect a full report! 

First of all, I found a new brand of which I've never heard before. I have to say: I really like it! It was when I was shopping in the Arcad (= big shopping mall in Pécs) that I came across a small store. One of the items I bought was this 'Bora Bora' T-shirt... I doubted fitting shorts in "Harem style" but ended up not buying it. Now I decided that I'm going back to the Arcad and I actually will buy it! 

You can view the collection at http://www.mirrorfashion.hu/ujmirror/ but you may have to do some math because the prices are in Hungarian Forint (HUF). 



Second, I couldn't resist myself being two pair of Converse Allstars. What I like most about this pair is the blue color. It's a bold, yet calm blue... Like a gentle breeze, but with a hint of energy! The other pair I bought are white as snow! You will see them in the full report!


So guys, that's all for today... Now I'm going to enjoy a late night swim in the clear blue watered pool!
Stay Tuned!!!

Best of all, they come in loads of colors and you have them in every price range. Below you can see my new arrivals, I bought these for my vacation in Hungary next week. Mine are between €5 and €20.
