RESORT 2014: AS SIMPLE AS THAT

have been popping my eyes out on the 2014 resort collections. silky fabrics, bold cuts and a lot of white. i have been a big fan of all-white outfits for a long time, because it’s simply the most right decision in summer: day and night. here’s some of my white summer basics.

thank god for online shops with the amazing filter function, which makes it easy to sort out after colors you wanna shop for. the other day i headed over to street one and checked out some basics, especially the ones out of linen and cotton.

LANCÔME X ALBER ELBAZ

as soon as lancôme announced they would collaborate with alber elbaz, i counted the days to get my hands on the high glam eye collection. along with the iconic hypnôse range (hypnôse, drama, doll eyes and star) alber elbaz also dressed several mono and palette eyeshadows in funky patterns such as polka dots, hearts, stars and eyes. having these items sit on my beauty desk makes me feel like in a museum, it’s the perfect unification of fashion with luxury cosmetics. thanks, lancôme!

SMOOTHIE PERFECTION

ever since i lived in the US when i was 17, i have been a fan of that heavenly place called smoothie king. coming back and living in europe i have been very lazy concerning my smoothie love (apart from this desaster once)…

then all of a sudden last week the kenwood 2go smoothie maker (buy it here) landed in my mail and apart from my huge fetish for kitchen machines (anything that will make my life easier in the kitchen makes my pain when cooking less) i was super excited to try that spacy smoothie machine from the future out. i wasn’t very convinced about only 300 Watt at first, but my first smoothie turned out d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s and the most amazing thing about it: it comes with cups you can directly blend in but also take away for the office of whatever (not that i have a job and office to go to… #unemployed).

the “smoothie recipe” (not really a recipe at all): mango, melon, strawberries, milk and a little bit of basil.
