Gifts

Hope everyone had an amazing Holiday! I'm so Gift Curious! I was dying .. in a ~Skip the damn food I want gifts already~ way... This year I actually had no wishes, I just had no idea what to ask but I got some great surprises anyway! First of all (like some of you have seen on my facebook and instagram) there was a surprise package from Valentino with a little bag and bracelet! and then Christmas itself; I actually got a new Iphone and an Ipad! swooon! I'm now 'padding away non-stop ;)
So curious what you guys got!

OUTFIT: Sequins and Tulle

It's the season of glittery shiny snowy things ;) 
I had such an amazing Christmas eve and Christmas Day! (even though there was no snow) Today's Boxing Day and that means more food, family time and presents... whaaaaa and I got so spoiled already! I still haven't decided what to do for New Years Eve but I want to stick with sequins and cat ears for sure!

A few more days before Christmas (and New Years Eve) so it's the perfect time to share my 10 favorite Glitter and Glam tutorials! I just love Whimsical Sparkles in these cold winter days and love to give my apartment that perfect glittery touch! Hope you love these beauty and home decor tutorials as much as I do!

1) Scarlet Slippers: Red Glitter Eyeshadow Tutorial

Totally bold but oh so good!

2) '50s Glam Waves

Although not a full tutorial, just a simple how-to description these '50s Glam waves would make such a perfect Holiday-do! I still need to learn how to work with rollers.

3) Glitter and Glam Eyes

This Polish girl really knows her eye-make-up! The video's are (sadly) in Polish but I'm glued to them anyway just to figure how how to get those perfect eyes! (I kind of skip back and forth in the video's towards the steps)

6) Watercolor Glitter Illustrations

Another brilliant glitter tutorial, this one by Paper Fashion for those of us who love to draw! I also really love this tutorial because its not only perfect for illustrators and artists but for applying this to notes, cards and letters as well!

7) DIY Glittered Wine Bottles

Not only jam jars can be transformed into glittery pieces, wine bottles too! Just such a spark of pleasure and no need to say; a good reason to finish off that bottle of wine ;)

Chirstmas Shopping diary

Made a little Christmas Shopping diary! (and yes, I'm wearing my new Rain Boots!)


I really love gift shopping, especially when in between you will get offered Hot Chocolate Milk, Cookies and cakes!

In what we call the little "alley neighbourhood" in Arnhem you can find some vintage and designer boutiques! So I stopped by "Bos and Heij" designers "Sjaak Hullekes" and "Coming Soon". The last store has these crazy beautiful shoes (as seen on the last few pics) I must find out who the designer is!

I'm wearing: H&M hat and jacket, Sandro top, Sass&Bide jeans and my new Rain Boots.

I still have some last gift shopping and gift wrapping to do and still need to get the Christmas groceries!!
