A Fury Fox Tale

A quick post of my last weekend in the UK, yes I am now back in Brussels for the summer before going off to Brugge that is. You can not even begin to imagine the number of suitcases full of clothes and shoes I brought back, even I was embarrassed. Of course I came back here to discover three closets full of clothes too, so I am having a serious clear out on Ebay this coming month before it gets out of hand.

//WEARING// Top: H&M Cardigan: American Apparel Denim shorts: Topshop Belt: H&M Trend Flats: Topshop My new fox tail: Ebay (loving it) Colourful bracelets: Asos

One of the good thing about being back in Brussels is that I can finally order from Queen's wardrobe (as they don't ship yet to the UK) even though I found some exact same dresses on YesStyle, I have my eye on a couple of jackets and wedges I really like.

Also, I have been receiving lately a lot of compliments and questions regarding my Audibert Cuffs and I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that they are currently having a huge sale on their e-boutique. You can have 40% off the entire boutique with the special code "PA0710PE", from June 7th until June 20th.

P.S: Don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' and Twitter for more updates.

Summertime Ball

Sunday was spent at the 5 hour long summer time Ball wich was pretty amazing and I owe a huge thank you to Asos for gifting me this places, and not just any places amazing ones. The experience of being in Wembley stadium with 70.000 people and so many incredible artists is hard to put into words so here are some of the pictures I took, a couple of videos and some close up pictures taken from the people over at Capital FM.

Tweeting videos and pictures to my followers, had great fun tweeting with FTape and Nathalie from Asos.

Here is the mashup song Capital FM made with all the artists present at the Summertime Ball which I actually think is pretty representative of the day. Hope you enjoy it!

Brick Lane

The perfect Sunday afternoon was spent walking aimlessly down Brick Lane and around Liverpool Station. Vinage shops galore, food markets everywhere, live music on every street corner and so many stylish people that you just don't know were to look and all of this under the watchful eye of a shining sun. Just perfect and could not have asked for a better Sunday!! This is what I will miss the most when the time will coem to say goodbye.

This is not really an outfit post and I will very proper outfit pictures soon, but I just had to share with you this amazing part of London and if vintage is what you are looking fr then this is were you should be on a Sunday.

ELLE.be

So I normally do my trend posts on Wednesday but I a fair bit of news I wanted to share with you so here goes. First of all,l as most of you know (okay maybe just a few of you then) I am British but have lived in Belgium most of my life. I have been studying here in the UK for the last four years and today was my last exam here so these next two weeks will be my last in the UK and then I am heading back of to Brussels and then onto Brugges for my masters. Why am I telling you all of this, well it is quite simple I have come to realise that even thought blogging knows no real geographical borders (or others for that matter), bloggers seem to attract readers from their country or region which is a phenomenon I have yet to fully understand but one that I want to explore.

Anyway, this move back to Brussels got me thinking that I should start to connect more with my francophone and Belgium readers as I have done with my british and uk readers. This coincides perfectly with the great news (well I seem to think) that this blog is this months Belgium ELLE 'blog of the month'. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at this bit of news, I don't normally bore you with the features of my blog but this one had to be shared!

Secondly, the little project I was working on with Hypeed is now finished. The editorial 'Down to Earth' , featuring the lovely Dylanna Suarez for which I was the guest editor looks great and I am happy with the result, the Hypeed team sure know how to makes lovely editorial with real people, yes an emphasise on the 'real' aspect of the editorials. So go and check it out and if you like the idea of participating in editorial fro and from you the why not try it out and participate in any (or all) of their next calls; take a bow, play it cool with a cat suit, the clog come back...

Finally, some time this week I will add a 'Shops to shop' section on the right hand side of the blog. It will be a selection of my favorite online shops and a link to discover the best places in London and Brussels (and anywhere else for that matter). So keep an eye out for this!
