After the rain comes the sun.


Here I'm again. It was a busy week + very shitty weather so I couldn't blog. I'm a kind of blogger who doesn't keep a zillion posts in the pipeline, so sometimes I end up without. I wasn't really inspired, putting on my Autumn gear on again too. It was nothing but sweaters, sneakers & rain this week. The weather forecast promised the same thing today, but when I woke up, the sun was shining and I even laid in the garden in my BIKINI!!!! 

Another problem came up, I didn't plan a warm weather outfit, as I came to my bf after work, wearing a wool coat and biker boots. Gotta 'love' Belgium and it's unpredictable weather. Luckily I had this dress lying around in the closet and since I haven't took outfit pictures of it yet, it was perfect for this warm day.
Then came the long process of taking those pictures. I'm still figuring out the setting of the 50mm lens. What should work, not always does. The manual focus is a bit of a bitch, so we ended up with a lot of pictures where I was just blurry and the background was sharp. It would've been easier if I just couldn't turn that thing at all. I'm happy with how the better pictures turned out, though. Loving the saturation overdose! But with a bit of weather luck we get to practice again tomorrow.

I had a lovely sunny Sunday and hope you did too. Off now to watch Six Feet Under and the new series about Hannibal Lecter.


Wearing: Primark dress and heels, BCBG Max Azria clutch, Ray-Ban Laramie sunglasses.

New 50mm lens & a lot of happy me


Last Friday I finally ordered a 50mm lens aka 'the blogger lens'. It arrived this morning and I had that Christmas feeling while unwrapping it. It was raining the whole time, but I was set onto taking pictures, so I got ready and waited until it stopped. And after a heavy downpour came the sun. We snapped for about five minutes, until the clouds came out again. I didn't even had time to change the camera settings, but I'm already quite happy with how the pictures turned out. I can't wait to explore all it's possibilities. 



I've been wearing these jeans through the week in different combinations. They're a perfect staple piece in my wardrobe. Need to get a darker pair too.

Wearing: Zara sweater, shoes & pants, True spirit jacket, H&M ring & necklace, Michael Kors watch.


Pretty datn sharp for a 50mm, no? I likes it, need to figure out the right settings for some blurry backdrops too. 




I gave into the tiger trend, I liked how subtle it was. Grey forever!


I love this glitter turquoise eyeliner, it would be priceless if it wouldn't burn my eyes. Suffering for the sake of beauty.




Afterwards I went on snapping everything in the house including some stalking of cat and dog.



The pets are like: 'There she's again'.




My precious!
