OUTFIT | Light And White

I'm wearing an almost total white outfit for dinner.

Lately I'm so into white and love to combine it with grey or something bright...

The grey sandals are my new addiction and it seems like I cannot take them off. 

Wish I could wear them twenty four seven, but for now I have to be patient till the weather get warmer and better.

P.S. You can still join my ASOS.com giveaway here!

OUTFIT | Weekend Full With Fun

 It was a great weekend full of fun with family and friends. 

Cozy dinners and long nights out in town to party. 

But duty calls as well, waking up 7am in the morning for work is way too early for a good weekend. 

BUT I survived it and enjoyed the weekend the fullest.

Now I need a break for a day or two...

..

Wearing my new shoes for a dinner party. Mix of grey, white and orange/red. 

For now the perfect color combination if you could ask me, but it might be totally different tomorrow.

LIFE | Color Spotting

 The only colorful thing I was spotting today in my outfit was my YSL ring and this beautiful matte nail polish color of KOH Cosmetics. 

The rest of my outfit I kept simple in black and grey, so the nails got all the attention.

I can not get enough of colorful items lately; peach, coral and even orange; you name it, I want it!

Sunday during a shopping trip with my girls in Amsterdam, 

we did a manicure at KOH cosmetics and I knew for sure I wanted this colorful color. 

Happy monday!
