Femke's Favorite Instagram Accounts

Hi,

Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite instagrammers. I love Instagram. I just love to see the beautiful pictures of other people and what they've been up to lately. It also really inspires me for my own style. So if you want to know who I think you must follow, keep reading:

@alexcentomo 

Alex her instagram account is probably my favorite out of all! I just love all her pictures! I think she is my biggest fashion icon. Her style is just perfection (I know that's kind of a weird word, but that's the only way I can describe it...). And it's not only her bohemian outfits that inspire me, but also her beautiful hair.

@evelina



Evelina Barry is another person that I think has a very inspiring (I'm sorry, but I'm probably going to use the words 'inspiring' and 'inspiration' a couple of times in this post...) style.

@amberfillerup



Amber Fillerup always has the most beautiful hairstyles! I love to look at her hairstyles and recreate them myself. But besides hair pictures, she also posts lots of cute pictures of her family (which is obviously a bonus!).

@brandymelvilleusa

Oh, if you didn't know it yet: I love Brandy Melville! Their clothes just totally suit my style. I love to look at their pictures and see what's new, but also get inspiration for how to combine my own pieces of Brandy Melville.

@subdued



Subdued's instagram account just has the most beautiful pictures of their clothes and other items! I really enjoy looking at them.


@urbanoutfitters



If you like We Heart It (then check out our account and...), you're going to love Urban Outfitters' instagram account! They don't only post beautiful pictures of their clothes and other products, but they also post other gorgeous We Heart It type of pictures.

These were my favorite instagram accounts that I think you must follow these days!

Maia's Lookbook: my Christmas Ball Look

Hi,

To celebrate the end of the exams, me and some of my friends went to a Christmas Ball. The dresscode was classy, so I did my best do dress as fancy as possible! Since I didn't have a real classy dress I went shopping for a whole new outfit.



The most important part of my outfit was of course the dress. I bought it at Zara and it was about €40. It doesn't look that great on the picture, but it's actually a real beautiful dress. As you can see it has an open back, which is what I like most about the dress. It took me a while to find a dress I like, but I think I really found the perfect one now!



Something I never had, but miss every time I go to a party, is a classy clutch. So I went looking for one to match my new dress and came over this one from Six. It's a rather simple one, but that's alright since my dress is already a bit eyecatching. It has a golden strap made out of little chains and it looked very firm to me at first but in fact it broke like three times during the evening! Pretty embarassing... I managed to fix it again, but I still think the quality isn't that good, especially since this bag costed me around €20.



I didn't buy new shoes, but my black high-heels matched my outfit perfectly. I regretted my choice after  a while because they hurt a bit when you stand up a long time, but yet they really completed the outfit. And let's be honest: you can't dress classy without high-heels!



I didn't wear any jewelry because I also didn't want to be too showy and I also kept my nails pretty simple. I decided to do a french manicure and added a couple of nail art stickers from Essence.

Hope I inspired you and hope you can look just as classy on all your holiday parties ;)

De Tuinen Rose Scrub Cream

Hi,

Today I'm going to review this rose scrub cream from a brand called De Tuinen. This brand focusses more on natural ingredients, which I'm all about! And I've never tried a scrub cream before, so it was something exciting for me to try out!

It smells very good, well if you like the smell of roses, you will definitely love this (and I'm a roses kind of girl, so I really like it)!

Like the name of this product already gives away: it has a very creamy texture. It almost feels like a body lotion for in the shower, which sounds kind of weird, but I like it! This does make it a very soft scrub. I wouldn't use it for my weekly scrub session, but more as an in-between scrub to use to pamper myself after a long day.

I don't really know if it effects my skin at all, because my skin is simple non-stop soft and healthy now that I started using baby oil. But it's very gentle and great for sensitive skin. And it's full of awesome ingredients, so it probably does effect my skin somehow!

Essence Nail Advent Calender

Hi,

For my birthday I got this advent calendar of Essence dedicated to nails. It takes me back to my early childhood years, when I always got chocolate advent calendars. It was always such an exciting moment of the day when I got to open it. This one is obviously very exciting too. As you would have expected, it concludes a lot of nail polishes:



I love that there is a huge variety of colors. You have very wintery colors, but also a few summery colors. And there even were some special nail polishes as well, that I'm definitely going to review one of these days:



This is an ombre topcoat. I've never heard of something like this, but I'm very excited to try it out! I've always wanted to try out an ombre nail art, but never got up to it. I hope this works!



Another special nail polish is this snowflake topcoat. This one I've actually already tried out and it looks very cute! It really does give my nails this snowy effect.



I also got a jelly flakes topcoat, that I'm very excited about to try it out as well.



This galaxy lights topcoat looks just beautiful. I don't think this one is that special, it's probably just a glitter topcoat, but it looks still beautiful.



Lastly I got this sparkling matt topcoat. I don't even know how that would work: a sparkling matt? But I'm excited to try it out!

Honestly, Essence nail polish isn't that great... But when I apply my Essie base and topcoat it lasts a lot longer! (just a little tip for you)

Every Sunday I got something else than a nail polish:



One of the things I got was this super cute nail file in the form of a cosy sock.



Another Sunday I got this nail file in the form of a gingerbread man, how cute can it get?



I also got these nail stickers. You even have some reindeers in there! I'm definitely going to decorate my nails with these on christmas day!

And than today, the last day of the advent calendar, I got this golden glittery bag:



Actually I think this bag is the least exciting thing out of all, but well I'm very happy with all the things I got in this advent calendar!

Spotted: Léa Seydoux

Hi,

 The beautiful actress Léa Seydoux was spotted in this fabulous outfit.
There isn't much to say about this look because it's actually just really simple. The key item in this look is the dress of course. She chose a plain white Prada dress and topped of her look with some bright red accessories.
Personally I'm not such a fan of her belt but I must admit that it  looks great on the dress. Her nails and lipstick are also perfectly bright red.
