Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Lotion

Hi,

I already reviewed the Dove Go Fresh body wash a long time ago. And I still love using that product up to this day, especially in the summertime. It really does make you feel very fresh, which I never expected it to do. I also use the deodorant version of it now, which I really like aswell. But recently I bought the nourshing lotion too.

If you've been following us for a while, you know my love for Dove's products. But I actually never used their bodylotions before, because they're basically too expensive for me. This bottle normally costs something like € 7, which I know is not such a crazy price, but I go through bodylotions so quickly, which makes buying this on a regular basis expensive. But when I recently went to the Action (a shop in Belgium where they sell a large variation of stuff for a very cheap price) I found Dove's bodylotions for only € 1,99. Isn't that crazy?! So I couldn't resist and bought a few of them. And since I really liked my Go Fresh body wash and deodorant, I really wanted to try the bodylotion aswell.

It's in the same scent as the other products I have from this range, which is pomegranate and lemon verbena. It smells amazing and really fresh.

I have to admit that it also feels very fresh for a body lotion. Most body lotions feel sticky, but this one doesn't leave a sticky feeling at all. I wouldn't say it feels as fresh as the body wash, but it's still a very nice body lotion to use in the summer time.

I really recommend it. Besides the amazing smell and the fresh feeling, it also leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized.

Spotted: Elle MacPherson

Hi,

Bohemian-like outfits are totally back. A trend model and actress Elle MacPherson seems to have picked up this trend.
She was spotted wearing this faboulous black dress while shopping. It's a beautiful dress and she looks very good with it too. Split dresses make you look taller and this compensates with her flat sandals.
I'm really obsessed with her sandals by the way. I've always wanted this kind of sandals and she just seems to have the perfect pair.. Jealous!
As for accessories she picked out a hat and sunglasses. This makes her outfit look a bit more chic.
Also, notice how she has that tortoise shell hair color we were talking about last week!

Flower Crowns

Hi,

Today I thought it was fun to wright a post like back in the old days and show you what the market has to offer lately on a specific trend. The trend I'm going to work with today is flower crowns, since it's still the festival season. I recently made a post called Bohemian Festival Hairstyles and flower crowns are a huge thing on festivals! One of my favourite things to do is make flower crowns out of real daisies, but I don't own any non-real flower crowns that will last forever. And I really want one for the festival I'm going to attend in september. So I was already browsing on the internet for a perfect flower crown for myself, so I thought why not make a post out of this?

Enough rambling now... Here are the beautiful flower crowns I found:

Wow, the first crown I found is already pretty perfect. But a bit too big and outstanding maybe... But if you dare to wear this beautiful flower crown, then go for it girl! You can buy it at Boohoo for € 9,00. 

I really like this one aswell. It's from a brand called Monki, but I found it on Asos for € 8,22. 

Another flower crown from Asos, this time from a brand called Johnny Loves Rosie. This one is a little more expensive though... It costs € 32,88. I wouldn't give this amount of money to a flower crown, but if you don't mind spending your money like that than this might be a flower crown for you. And I have to admit this is a very pretty one, so if I would be a little more rich I would definitely buy it!  

At Urban Outfitters I found this gorgeous flower crown for € 25,00, which is unfortunately again kind of expensive... 

This one is a little more subtle than the others, but still really pretty (or that's what I think). It's from H&M and costs only € 4,99. There are a few other colours that look very cute too. 

Another one from H&M. This one is a little bit more outstanding and also a little bit more expensive: € 9,99. But it's still worth its price! 

I'm kind of dissapointed actually, because there wasn't much choice. But I still hope I helped with finding your perfect flower crown! At least you know where to look now!

Shoplog: July Shopping

Hi,

Throughout July I've been collecting bits and pieces from several shops. Today I'm going to share the things I bought with you!



When I recently went for a quick shop in Pull & Bear I saw these gorgeous sunglasses and I just couldn't leave them behind. They weren't that expensive either, they cost something like € 10. First of all I love the pattern and especially the colours of these sunglasses. But I also just adore its shape. Round sunglasses look the best on me, but I love the twist on a normal round shape that these glasses have. It's round with a cat eye look to it. And the quality seems pretty good too. So I'm very happy with them!

If you want to know which sunglasses fit your face the best, we have a post on that too.



In Primark I got these 9 pairs of earrings for only € 2,50. I've been wearing little earrings a lot lately, because they aren't to outstanding, but they still look very cute and they go with almost everything. I wanted to expand my little-earrings-collection and I loved this set of little earrings, so I got them and I'm very happy with them now! They are all so pretty!



The only thing I bougt this July in the sales are these gorgeous lace espadrilles from Subdued. I know it's kind of bad I didn't buy anything else in the sales, but I just didn't find anything I liked... I'm happy with these espadrilles though! They were 50% off, which made them € 9,50.

This beautiful shirt was a gift that I recently got from my grandmother. It's from Zara. I love its flowyness and the lace above. I've been looking for a shirt like this for a long time now, so I'm very happy I got this one, it's just perfect! I don't remember the exact price of this shirt, but it was something between € 30 and € 40.

Speaking of gifts, my grandmother also gave me this dress from Brandy Melville. Since I follow Brandy Melville on Instagram, I had my eyes on this dress for a while. I love its print and cut. But most of all I love its back:

Isn't that gorgeous?! It is always I struggle to put it on though... I always get tangled in the straps. But I still love it! And I know I'm going to wear it lots this summer! It cost € 38.



In Brandy Melville I also got myself this shirt and I'm obsessed with it! I've been looking for a fun striped shirt for a while and this is perfectly the thing I had in mind. It was € 18.



Last but not least I got this cardigan in Brandy Melville for € 36. I've also been looking for this type of cardigan for a while. Since I'm a petite girl, cardigans tend to be a little bit to big on me. But this one is perfect! Even though it's still quit oversized, but this is the kind of oversized that looks good if you know what I mean.

I do get that almost my complete closet is Brandy Melville now... But I just love their fabrics and basically their style. And it's always pleasure to shop there, since the decoration in their shops is so pretty and cozy! If you want to see my last shoplog of Brandy Melville click here.

Tortoiseshell Hair

Hi,

Altough I never color my hair I couldn't help noticing this beautiful trend in hair coloring this summer: the tortoiseshell hair. Since ombre has been around for way too long now, the new trend is a variation on it. There's still a darker color at the root, combined with golden highlights at the ends, but the difference is that the change between these colors is less 'drastic'. There isn't a real line between the dark and the light color, which was the thing I didn't like about the ombre technique. It also uses more than one shade of blonde or light brown, so that it looks more like your hair has been lightened by the sun. The difference with normal highlights is that this hairstyle still leaves all of your roots in your natural hair color while the lighter colors start in about the middle of your hair, but all at another lenght to avoid that kind of line you have with ombre.
I prefer this to the previous ombre trend, because it gives your hair this natural, healthy look. It's also a bit complex though and I've also seen some people who did it all wrong.. But I think if you let your hairdresser try it for you, there isn't a lot of change you go wrong with it.
