FASHION - The Neon Beanie

Yes, another beanie. Yes, another American Apparel buy. What I love about this beanie is the touch it can give to a simple outfit. You want attention? Put the beanie on. Want to be invisible? Take it off. Simple as it is. 
But, I warn you to not wear this beanie on a bad-face-day, since it draws a lot of attention to that particular area. I've had this pink beanie for over a year now and I might not wear it every single day because it stands out so much, but I do enjoy a little pink in my life from now and then. 

Not feeling so "la vie en rose"? They literally sell these beanies in every single color! (An American Apparel local, would've known that)  I would love to get a beige one, but I don't think I need any more headwear! I swear, my next post won't be about a beanie.

love!

What I was wearing:
Beanie: American Apparel
Sweater: Acne
Jacket: Zara
Trousers: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Clarks

FASHION - The Optic Beanie

These are the days where I just want to roll out of bed, drink coffee, go to the park, and enjoy the beautiful colors autumn brings. Instead I have to go to school and try to keep myself warm in those ice cold classrooms. Ugh, how much I crave freedom! Only 222 days left Jeanne, 222 days. 

Although I love autumn and winter, I just can not seem to find a way to cope with the cold. The only thing that keeps me warm are my dad's hugs. But since he has a life and I sort of have one too, he can't hold his little girl all day long. That's when I reach out for my beanie. I love this one by American Apparel, I wear it almost every day!

What's your way to keep yourself warm?

Love!

Beanie - American Apparel

Jeans - American Apparel (no, I am not sponsored)

Shoes - You guessed it, Clarks...

FASHION - The Beret

It were the magazines who made me believe I was able to rock this outfit during autumn. When I looked in the mirror and saw a pale girl with a red nose and purple lips staring at me, I realized that I still live in Belgium where autumn is practically the same as winter. It are especially the American Apparel adds that made me want to go out in a circle skirt and high knee socks. This might be possible in a country where autumn is the season of leaves falling, warm temperatures and a cool breeze but where I live... You better get your winter coat, beanie, scarf and gloves ready because we're about to get frozen.
So, despite the fact that I probably won't be wearing this outfit again until june, I still wanted to share it with you. And it might not be a circle skirt or a cropped sweater, but the beret gets me as close as I can get to an American Apparel add.

What I was wearing:

Beret: American Apparel
Sweater: Think Twice
Jeans: American Apparel
Shoes: Clarks
Blazer: Vintage (bought it a while ago in New York but can't remember what shop exactly)

What I've been listening to - SEPTEMBER

Dear reader, do I even have to explain the way music can make me feel? Don't we all know that feeling one particular song can give us? How the butterflies in your stomach seem to escape to every single body part when that beat finally drops? How we replay the song because we weren't paying attention and missed our favorite part? How we start screaming and jumping around at a party when our jam comes on (maybe that one's just me)?

Like most people I can't tell you what kind of music I listen to because I listen to every-thing. I go from dropping low on A$AP to crying in my bed on Bon Iver to baking Christmas cookies on jazz music. 

Every month I make a playlist of all the songs that give me the goosebumps and all those other feelings I mentioned before. What I love about monthly playlists is that whenever I listen to them, even if it's in a year, I will feel exactly the same way as I did while making that playlist. So whenever I want to feel as happy as I do now, I just put on my september 2014 playlist, and I will relive everything all over again. I hope you enjoy my playlist as much as I do.
