The Wonderful World of Fifi Lapin

hey :)
I wanted to review this cute little fashion book today. So, it’s about a “fashion bunny”; Fifi Lapin. Well, it’s not about her, actually. It’s written by her. Not really, of course. But the real author is unknown. You might know Fifi Lapin from “her” blog: www.fifi-lapin.blogspot.com. But about the book: it’s a cute book with style tips from Fifi Lapin. There are a few chapters; one for every day.

This is the beginning of the chapter “Thursday - Fashion Forward”.

There are also a few pages like this in the book; some quick style tips with cute drawings (again). But though it’s mostly about fashion, there is also a recipe for carrot cupcakes, a tutorial on how to make your own face mask,
something about colorful makeup, tips on how to pose for the camera and more :)
This is about fashion, but I just wanted to mention that there are also some interviews with designers like Anna Sui in it :)

This page is cute, isn’t it?

Let’s get on to my opinion about the book!
I think I made it clear that I think it’s very very cute. I also love the idea of a “stylish bunny”. A fashion bunny doesn’t make any sense, but what I like about it is that it’s not so standard. It’s a creative and original idea. I also love the idea of a chapter a day. And that it’s not only about fashion; that there are recipes (for example) inside too.

To my opinion it’s just a cute (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned “cute” so many times in one blogpost :)) inspirational book, which is nice to have. It is a little expensive though: $14,95.

hi my lovely viewers!
Today I wanted to do a little shoplog for you :) I know shoplogs are usually a video, but I’m too scared to post a video on my blog to be honest.. 😊 Let me know if you’d like a video though, maybe that’ll give me some courage :)

Anyways, today my package from Topshop finally arrived (I ordered it last week on December 13th..) and I’m so so so happy with everything I ordered! I always find it a little bit scary to shop online, because then I don’t know for sure if the clothes fit. But I don’t have to worry about that anymore, because everything fits perfectly! :)

1. So, I bought this Daisy Duck underwear.. I just couldn’t not buy it! It’s so cute! :) It cost €5,-.

2. Oh my gosh, I love this shirt. I’ve been wanting a shirt with a turtle neck for a while now, and this one is just perfect! It’s hard to see in this picture, but the fabric is ribbed, which gives the simple design just that little bit extra :) It cost €25,-.

3. I have a thing for over-the-knee socks. I just love them. These color blocked ones are perfect for a “I’m not going to do anything - day” but they also look great with my fake Dr. Martens from H&M Divided :) They cost €9,-.

So, that was everything I bought at Topshop. But the shoplog isn’t over just yet :) Yesterday I went to Primark with a few friends, so I wanted to show you what I bought there, too!

4. I don’t think you can ever have enough lip balms, so why not buy this super cute lip balm with candy canes on the tin for only €1,-?!

5. This breath spray is absolutely amazing. It’s really refreshing & it has a nice pepperminty taste. I bought only one at first, but when I tasted it, I immediately felt like I needed another one. So, I bought another one :)
They cost €1,- each.

6. Lastly, I bought white lace socks, and they are so cute, but since I wore them yesterday they are dirty now. And that’s really obvious since they are white.. So I chose to not post a picture of them. They are reaaally cute though. They cost €2,-.

I hope you guys like everything I bought!

hi guys :)
I’m personally having a very busy time at the moment, and because I think a lot of you guys are having a busy time too, with Christmas and everything, I wanted to do a post about “relaxation”. That word sounds weird, I know. I just mean taking some time for yourself to let it all out. “Let it go!”, like Elsa would say.

You don’t need much time to just let go of your worries and relax. I’ll give you some ways to relax, even if you’ve only got 5 minutes.

5 minutes of spare time
- You can’t let your worries and “things to do” go if you don’t write them down. So, write down everything that’s on your mind, and don’t think about them in these five minutes.
- Listen to music. With headphones or earbuds, because only then you can fully focus on the music. Let the lyrics of your favorite song be all you think about.
- You can also sit in full silence, close your eyes, and try not to think at all. Make sure you don’t move! Have your full attention by your breath. Maybe it’s easier if you imagine being Buddha :)

10 minutes of spare time
- Take a shower, and feel how the water takes every worry away from you. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to do :)

30 minutes of spare time
- Draw or read. You can do that in 5/10 minutes too, but then it’s a bit frustrating that you have to get back to work so soon, and you can’t even finish your drawing or the chapter of the book you’re reading. And I’m pretty sure you can in 30 minutes :)
- Watch a TV-series with episodes of 20 minutes. I recommend New Girl and Modern Family :)

60 minutes of spare time
- For me, the ultimate relax-thing to do is to watch Gossip Girl. Even better when you’re wearing sweatpants and an XL sweater.
- Bake cookies or something. The smell of homemade cookies makes everyone happy right? :)

Okay, so that was it for this blogpost! hope you liked it :)

hey guys :)

I can’t wait for Christmas! Seriously… “it’s the most beautiful time of the year..” (- Justin Bieber, Mistletoe). 

Anyways, I wanted to share 3 Christmas YouTube videos with you, because personally, I just love watching these. 

So the video above is Mere’s (she’s my favorite YouTuber, her name on Youtube is: stilababe09) and the sweater she made (there’s a DIY in the video) is just so cute!

Because Tumblr only makes you able to post one video, I’ll share the others in links:

So the one above is from Lauren (the name of her channel is: laurdiy). In the video she makes an adorable advent calendar and more :)

The last video I wanted to share with you is also from Lauren, and in this video, she makes super easy Christmas snacks, and they just look so good! 

Which is your favorite?

hi :)
Today I wanted to do a “wish list post”. So, a few things from my wish list:
1. Baby lips electro in “Minty Sheer”. You can’t have enough lip balms in cold winter days like these! Plus, I loooove mint lip balms.
2. Another thing for your lips: the Bubblegum lip scrub from LUSH. I used to have (it’s empty now..) the Popcorn lip scrub from LUSH, and I totally loved it! Since it’s empty now, I’d like to try another lip scrub from LUSH, like Bubblegum.
3. I love this scarf from “Monki”! It makes me think of the beautiful scarfs from “Acne”, but the Acne scarfs are like €130, and this one is €20, so I’d rather buy this one!
4. I really want a black skinny high waisted jeans! They’re so simple, but very fashionable :) This one is from Topshop.
5. This one isn’t on my wish list anymore, cause I own one now (yaay!) but a tattoo choker was on my wish list for a long time, so I wanted to share it with you anyways.
6. And last but not least: (this one isn’t on any of the pictures, by the way) a simple black blank Moleskine notebook. They’re so classy! :) But, they’re really expensive, so yeah :(

What’s on your wish list?

Aren’t these beautiful? Instead of a color theme for my post with We Heart It pictures, I decided to choose “places” as a theme this time.
1. New York, gorgeous as always.
2. Doesn’t this look like pure perfection?! 
3. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
4. London!
5. Oh my gosh, I’d love to swim there!
6. Same as 5…
7. Reminds me of the summer holiday! :)
8. Picture the view from that train.. wow!
9. And there is London again…
10. This looks like a screenshot from Gossip Girl… Let me know if you recognize it too!

Hi guys! :)
Today I went to China Light with my parents and my little brother and it was amazing! There were so many beautiful lights. When we entered, there was this Chinese song playing softly, which totally made the whole experience even better. Some parts of the lighted “artworks” we’re even moving!

I read that it’s an old tradition of the Chinese. Once a year, they light thousands of “artworks”, like I called them earlier, to please the God of heaven and pray for a good harvest that year.

Well, I hope you liked the photos, and if you happen to be in Utrecht, you should definitely check it out! :)
