David Beckham & H&M

I'm so excited that H&M will be collaborating with David Beckham for a bodywear line! The collection will be available from February 2012 in selected H&M stores. I think this will be a great gift for Valentine (hopefully my boyfriend will not read this article ;) *lol*! I'm very curious about the collection and I must admit that I'm a big fan of David Beckham. Not only because I'm a soccer player myself but also because of his great looks!

Barcelona

Hey guys I'm sorry that I haven't been posting a lot lately. My blog is a bit in holiday mode ;)! 
I promised that I would write about Barcelona sooo here is my first post :). Yannick and I left on the 9th of June at 9 p.m. :) so we arrived at midnight in Barcelona.We flew with Brussels Airlines for  € 127,34 /p.p., which is pretty okay :) but you can find cheaper tickets when you book earlier. We stayed at Hotel Call which is located in the old city centre of Barcelona. The location of the hotel is just perfect! You should definitely look up the street on google maps because it's such a small street! That's something that I really like about Barcelona, the small streets! They are so cosy! I was also truly amazed by the beautiful buildings, this city definitely stole my heart!
I would certainly recommend Hotel Call because the location is so perfect! If you prefer a bit more luxury though, I would definitely look for a hotel in the neighborhood! For 4 nights in a double room we payed € 216, which is very cheap to stay in the centre of Barcelona. Hotel Call is very basic. The rooms are a bit old, but they are clean. I mean you aren't going to spend a lot of time in your room, so that's why we chose for budget and location :)

This is what I wore the day we left:

Syster P

Hi guys I'm back from Barcelona :)! If you've never been there, jump on a plane tomorrow because this city is fantastic! You have everything: good food, the best wines, the best stores, great beaches, etc. I promise that I will write about my trip soon!

Today the Syster P necklace that I won at Carolines Mode arrived :)! I want to say thanks to Caroline and the people at Syster P for giving me this fabulous necklace! Here are a few pictures of the necklace and the sweet card that they included:




I had never heard about this brand before but now that I have I'm totally in love with it! All their jewellery is handmade and they only make a few pieces which makes them unique. You can buy Syster P in selected stores in Scandinavia and the UK, but you can also buy this brand online Syster P Retailers. I've selected a couple of more items that I absolutely adore. My favorite piece is the silver bracelet in the first picture:

Birkenstock

Hey guys at 9 p.m. I'm flying to Barcelona with my boyfriend :)! My grandmother is so sweet! She bought me a pair of Birkenstocks because she thought that I would be walking a lot :)! I have been wearing them for a couple of days now and they are sooo comfortable! Of course you gotta love them. I think it's the same with Uggs love 'em or hate 'em. Are you a Birkenstockfan or do you absolutely hate them ;)?

My grandma bought me the Gizeh Gold Brown Birkenstocks:

I love my YSL mascara :)!

Hey guys! Today I had a great day! I just handed in my last schoolwork ever and I got a mail from Caroline (Carolinesmode) that I won the Syster P necklace in her giveaway giveaway Carolinesmode! I can't wait until the package arrives :)

Because I saw so many ad campaigns about the Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara I decided to buy it. I was really excited but unfortunately I was a bit dissapointed in this product.


So this is what Maybelline promises us:

Product Details

Why You'll Love It

Finally, bold volume without any of the bulk.
• Patented Lash Catcher™ brush has 3 bristles per lash to make every lash count
• Catches, coats and de-clumps each lash to make them all fatter and flirtier
• Instant clump-free volume
• Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist-tested
• Washable, also available in Waterproof formula

For Best Results

Sweep brush upwards from root to tip to add volume to each lash. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Removes easily with soap and water or Expert Eyes® 100% Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover.

And this is the result:


I'm not really happy with the result. I think it looks a bit fake but maybe it's because my lashes aren't that thick. Have you guys tried this mascara yet? Did it work for you? Normally I'm a fan of Maybelline mascara, but this one just  doesn't do the job for me.


I think I'm going to stick with my YSL mascara :)! It truly is my all time favorite mascara!


So this is what YSL promises us:

 Volume Effet Faux Cils
Luxurious Mascara for a false lash effect
This award-winning volumizing mascara achieves a dramatic result in a single stroke. The secret? The triple-film complex. A coating film for intensity, a conditioning film with pro-vitamin B5 and aloe vera for curves and a fixing film with vinyl polymer for long-lasting effectiveness. The brush applicator combines nylon fibers of varying diameters for volume enhancement, as never before.

This is the result:


As you can see this mascara is much better for me! The volume is amazing and I'm not wearing a lot of mascara here (this was the last bit I had, so normally the effect is even better!). I think I am going to stick with the YSL mascara forever because the effect is amazing and it's actually not that expensive! 
Do you have a favorite mascara?

Sorry guys :(!

Sorry guys that I haven't been posting a lot lately but I'm writing my thesis and it has to be finished this week :s *sigh *! As I am the queen of postponing schoolwork I'm having a hard time to finish it :(. Why am I always doing this? Well, the answer is simple as long as I can pull it off I will keep doing it :s. Hopefully this time it doesn't blow up in my face. Oh well :) let the future decide!

Oh yes, I was checking out my Twitter and found the new Jeremy Scott and Longchamp collaboration on this website Knack Weekend. The bag will be available in all Longchamp stores as of the 1th of July. Do you like this bag?
