Collective book haul (March 2016)
For 2016, I am aiming to read 50 books in one year. It is the first time I am joining the Goodreads reading challenge and right now I am still on track. One tactic to try and stay on track, is to have books I enjoy on my shelves ready for the taking. And since…

Collective beauty haul
It’s the weekend! Which means it is time for part 2 of my collective shopping haul. I already showed you the fashion part of this, which is linked down below in the rest of the post, if you would like to see that too. The best part about this was that some of these items…

Collective fashion haul
It is sale time, which means I went out & shopped! Not all of it was on sale, and not all of it was bought in one go, but I thought I could show you once again my purchases of the past few months. I bought workout gear, some festive clothing items and I’ve noticed…

Collective autumnal beauty & fashion haul
Two videos in two weeks! I don’t know where I found the time to do it, but I managed somehow. Today’s video is all about some new bits I purchased every since summer. There are some skincare and body bits, as well as the Urban Decay Vice 4. Then there are some fashion bits too.…

US beauty haul: Sephora, Ulta, Target, Walgreens & CVS
***Disclaimer*** Yes, I bought more make up than I could possible need in a life time. Yes, I know I am crazy. Yes, I spent way too much money. If you’re about to leave a comment down below complaining about that: keep your thoughts to yourself. I enjoy make up and the US has much…

Collective fashion shopping haul: H&M, Primark, Topshop, Zara, Pieces & Vila
No video sadly this time, but it was simply too hot to be filming a massive summer shopping haul. So unlike my spring edition, this blog post will not be in video form, but will be an old-fashioned picture laden one instead. I saved up all fashion items I purchased in the past 3 –…

England beauty shoplog
Two weeks ago I hopped on a plane to visit my friend Alison in England and one thing we did when I was there was shop. I do not dare counting the number of Boots and Superdrugs we went into, myself being the main instigator. Of course I had to figure out the UK drugstore…

Collective spring fashion haul (April 2015)
I cleaned out my closet in February and felt that some staple wardrobe pieces were missing. I went on the hunt for white button down shirts, some new jeans, striped shirts and A-line dresses. I came, went and conquered, and picked up some pieces in the past three months. I mostly shopped online and purchased…

Spring/ summer 2015 Catrice haul
The new Catrice line is here! I was at my drugstore this week and lo and behold I walked into the display filled with brand new products for Spring/ Summer 2015. I simply bought everything that caught my eye and I will be showing you everything I purchased two ways: there’s a video AND there…

Collective Christmas shopping haul: decor, fashion & beauty
Would you believe me if I told you I had never had proper Christmas decorations before this year? Well, it’s true. I never used to be home much around Christmas time, spending time with family and friends mostly. And if you’re hardly home, what’s the point of decking out your living space in trees and…

London shoplog: beauty & make up
In case you didn’t know, last week I spent a few days in London. I took the trip as a well-deserved break from work and so I could gear up for the colder months. I’ve been to London every year since 2009 and so this was my 5th visit in a row. I love the…

InterRail shoplog: cosmetics & fashion
I allowed myself to do a bit of shopping in each city I was in. I mostly shopped beauty bits as they are small and not heavy, so they’re easy to pack and not too heavy. I didn’t really shop for clothes until the end of my trip. Shopping for cosmetics in different countries was…

Shoplog: Asos, Sting, H&M, Mango, F21 & Hema
I’m still working on completing my summer wardrobe and so I did a bit of shopping (once again). On top of that I also found some great basics and other fun items to add and so this is a bit of a collective haul. I placed an order with the usual suspect H&M, but this…

Fashion shoplog: Primark, UO, F21, H&M, Topshop & more
It’s spring! And with the changing seasons I like to update my wardrobe to adapt to the season. So that’s what this is: a spring/ summer wardrobe update. Plus there were a few things I really needed. Such as comfy jeans to replace my old ones that I had had for 5 years, and t-shirts…

Budget make up shoplog
After doing the Princess tag in January, I found out that I don’t have that many super high end make up products. Nor do I have that many true budget items either. I decided that especially the latter needed to change. Thus, I embarked on a trip to my local drugstore and bought a few…

Beauty shoplog: TBS, Dior, L’Oreal, Hema, etc.
Sale time came and went and during that time I picked up a few bits and pieces. Throw in some coupons and a few budget products to try and you have yourself enough material for a shoplog. If you’re curious what I bought during The Body Shop sale and from various Dutch drugstores, then keep…

Shoplog: H&M, ASOS & Mango winter sale and spring collection
Late January, one of the best time to shop: the new spring collections are entering stores and the final sales rounds are going on. Meaning you can get your hands on some awesome deals, while shopping the latest styles at the same time. Since I’m stuck at home I am limited in my shopping endeavors…

Shoplog: home & decor (+ Project room change update)
In October I wrote that I would embark on a major overhaul of my living space. I dubbed said undertaking Project Room Change and I am proud to say I am roughly halfway through. Read here about my plans, in case you want to refresh your memory. I will talk about what I did so…

London 2013 shoplog: Topshop, Primark, Illamasqua, etc.
If there is one thing I knew I wanted to do it was shop. The main goal of the trip was to reward myself for finishing my Master’s degree and the crappy situation at my job in the weeks leading up to it. So I was all set on thoroughly enjoying myself and just not…

The weather has only just started to turn, but I have already managed to upgrade my wardrobe for the colder months to come. This collective shoplog combines all the trends I’m loving for fall/ winter 2013-2014 and I am currently loving what’s in stores. So there’s a lot to share. I just tend to love…

Spring/ summer 2013 shoplog: wardrobe update
Are you ready? Well I know I am! The best way to introduce this post is by telling you to grab a cup of tea and get comfy, because you’re going to be here a while. I already mentioned in my 2 previous shoplogs (here and here) that I did quite a bit of shopping…

Spring/ summer 2013 shoplog: shoes & accessories
As promised: part 2 of my spring/ summer shoplog. Today it’s shoes and accessories. Just like last time: remember that I purchased these items in the course of 3 – 4 months, not in one go. Before we hit the jackpot where I’ll show you how I gave my wardrobe a serious spring/ summer update,…

Spring/ summer 2013 shoplog: casual & basics
Today I present to you: number 1 in my spring/ summer 2013 shoplogs. That’s right, you’re not getting one, but three shoplogs where I show you how I got my wardrobe spring and summer proof. With my infrequent posting behavior of the past few months I didn’t have much time to squeeze in any current…

UK & Beautygloss party shoplog
On Monday you could read I attended the Beautygloss party and that I went to the UK on a study trip. Both occasion of course made excellent opportunities to shop for some beauty products. Here’s what I got from Boots, Superdrug, Primark, and the shops at the party. I went on a major lipstick binge!…

Collective haul: ZARA, Mango, H&M, ASOS & more (fashion & beauty winter sale & spring 2013)
I’m ba-hack! After almost 2 weeks of no posts, I’ve decided to grace you all with my presence once again. I do have to say that I will be taking it easy. This means: no daily posts as of yet. I will post whenever I have the time/ feel like it. I have plenty of…

Collective haul: Asos, H&M, ZARA, Lush & more
Today’s posts features all the little nicknacks I picked up over the past couple of weeks. This is why this post features a bit of everything: fashion, beauty and media. I went on a bit on a ‘dress’ kick this month: I bought 4 dresses and I’m eyeballing two more on the H&M website. I…

Shoplog: Sephora, New Yorker, H&M & more
Last Thursday I met up with two friends who I don’t get to see very often. I first met up with one of them to have lunch and go shopping in Utrecht. Later that day we went to the other friend and had some delicious pancakes to top of a great day. I bought a…

Fall/ Winter 2012 collective haul: Primark, H&M, ZARA & more
I go to Primark twice, maybe three times a year. Once for each major season change, because that’s when they seem to have the best items. Primark is still a bit hit or miss though. Sometimes they have great stuff, and at other times it is all a bit standard and uninspiring. So this time,…

More fall/winter 2012 shopping: H&M, ZARA, Monki & more
I go through phases with almost anything and my shopping habits are no exceptions. Where I can shop till I drop and shop pretty much for every day in a week. I can also be a bit more tame and do bits of shopping whenever I get the chance. Right now, I’m in a ‘little…
