Top 5 Travel palettes
When traveling, you don’t want to pack your bulkiest, biggest palettes. At least I do not. Whenever I travel, I like keeping my makeup simple and easy to do. Whenever I travel, I am usually a tourist and so I am always itching to go out there and explore. Often wearing makeup doesn’t even make…

Lookbook fall 2015: city trip
Fall is my favorite time of year for heading on a city trip. This year, I unfortunately didn’t have the opportunity to do so as I already went on a massive trip across the US last summer. But for the past few years I went to London in the fall season. The weather is mild…

Interrail #7: Copenhagen
My 9th and final stop of the trip was Copenhagen. Together with Barcelona this city was high on my ‘to visit’ list (especially after watching Borgen earlier this year) and so I stayed here for 3 days so I’d really have some time to see the city. By this time I was getting quite exhausted,…

Interrail #6: Vienna, Prague, Berlin
At the halfway point of my trip and I was about to visit 3 different cities in less than a week. From Venice, I set off on a day filled with traveling to the Austrian capital of Vienna. It took me straight through the Alps and made for some fairytale inspiring views. I traveled from…

Interrail #5: Milan & Venice
Eight days into my trip and I would be swopping lovely Spain for lovely Italy. Would you believe me if I said that I had never been to Italy before? Well I hadn’t and I can tell you: I’m in love! A Rome trip has quickly gotten kicked up my travel wishlist in any case.…

Interrail #3: Brussels & Paris
My first two destinations were Brussels and Paris. I had visited both cities before. In Brussels I never got to do the touristy thing and Paris was simply on my: I’d like to go there again list. Hence, both cities made the cut. In total, I spent one day in Brussels and two in Paris.…

Interrail trip #2: what I pack
In yesterday’s post I told you that for my 22 day trip I was going to try to pack as lightly as possible. I wanted to take my large, 23.5 liter Herschel bag (click for a full review of the bag) and a smaller backpack that I bought at Forever 21 2 years ago. The…

Plans for my London trip
It’s fall break and for the first time this year I am finally going on vacation. That’s right! Apart from a study trip in April, I haven’t done any traveling this year. Mainly because I was busy finished up my thesis I couldn’t go and by the time summer arrived I had made so many…

Road Trip Music
I love listening to music while I’m on the go, but some music just makes for a better travel companion than others. This post is on my top picks of songs that make me want to hit up highways in a car with an open top. It just makes me wish that I actually had…

London 2012: Day 4
Ah my final day in London! This day was by far the laziest of all. I was so tired from all the walking I had done the days before that I decided to really take it easy. I slept in, checked out of my hotel and left my luggage at the hotel and headed out…

Day two in the English capital turned out to be a great day. The weather was amazing, with a slight breeze but plenty of sunshine making it perfect weather for walking. And walk I did. I set off from my hotel around 9 AM. My first stop was the Twinings tea shop on The Strand.…

Dublin Day 5,6,7 & 8: Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Writer’s Museum, Shopping
Day 5: After the long walk the day before, I was tired, cranky and exceptionally lazy. On top of all that, I was in some serious muscle pain from the walk as well so I slept in late and we didn’t set off for doing anything until the early afternoon. This day we wanted to…

Places I’d Like to Visit
I know, I know. I only just got back, but especially at times like this I think up my list of places I would still like to visit some day in the (near) future. Most of these places have been on my wish list for a while and I don’t know if I’ll ever get…

Study Trip to Edinburgh
After 8 days of being in London, I left in the early morning to catch a train, then a plane, then another train to hop onto a bus to get onto a boat for the rest of May 9th. Because work didn’t want me to travel from London to Edinburgh straight away I had to…

London Days 6, 7 & 8
After 5 days of touristy things and some sightseeing, my final days in London would be spent shopping. My friend left London in the middle of the night to catch a flight to Italy. That gave me plenty of time to scour the town for make up, clothes and of course, shoes. I arrived at…

Today is already my 6th day in London, but I haven’t had the time to write anything yet. Until now! As you may know by now, it’s not the first time that I’m visiting this city so therefore I don’t have many pictures, but I did do lots of stuff already. Here’s what days 1…

Blog Challenge Day 20: A photo of a place you’ve been to
Paris! Oh how I love thee! Perhaps a town you wouldn’t quickly associate me with, but I have been to Paris several times. Mostly, because I used to have a friend who lived there and I would go over once every 6 months to visit her and vice versa. It’s been a while since I…
