Vintage

Vintage



I've always liked vintage dresses, they give an elegant touch to a woman's look. They're also very cute and comfy to be honest. 

When I saw the dress it was love on first sight. The little ruffle details on the shoulders, the belt and the split in the dress finished the perfect look. I styled it up with a hat (of course) and vintage sunglasses and heels to create a classy look. 

Some 40 ties fashion history


















The 1940s brought us pin-ups girls and elegantly accessorized ensembles. Tupperware was invented, and It’s a Wonderful Life debuted in all its Christmas glory. Due to World War II, money was tight and merchandise was largely rationed. Fabric may have been limited, but the fashion of the 1940s never faltered. 

A woman’s outfit was never complete without the accessories of the time. Coordinated driving gloves were a style must-have, and clothing was bright and colorful. The early 1940s saw shorter hemlines due to fabric rations, but the skirts returned to their longer lengths and fuller proportions post-war. Women showed off their midsections with tight waists, cinched belts, and peplum accents. Shoulder pads created the illusion of an even more dramatic hip to waist ratio. 

After the war, island prints gained popularity due to the tropical souvenirs the soldiers brought back with them. Gingham fabric and ruffled details were very popular.






dress: Primark  / hat: veritas / heels: Primark ( they're very comfortable and the quality is suprisingly very good)

fierce urban look

  Fierce urban look If you've been following me on instagram for a while you'd probably know that I'm a person who likes to dress simpel, a tomboy kinda style. I've always been a fan of basic looks but I always wear a statement piece wether it's the shoe, bag, shirt,...to complete the outfit. Mostly when I go out I'd like to wear something comfortable since I don't like to sit in an uncomfortable way or keep pulling my clothes together😅So this is the outfit I choose for a date with a friend to a coffeeshop↓  For this outfit I decided to wear my pair of flared jeans (which I didn't wear in a year because I couldn't fit in them anymore 😜) with a black top, black heels (which are soooo comfortable!) and my black waist belt. And ofcourzz the sunglasses which I also really love!  By the way gurlsss waist belts are in again for autumn/ winter 2018-2019 so you better go get one because you can easily combine it with any basic outf

What food to eat or avoid during Ramadan

What food to eat or avoid during Ramadan First of all ramadan kareem to all my beloved readers. (I'll keep it short I promise) The reason I wrote this blog is because each year I see A LOT of people post a huge amount of food and different dishes on social media. But first of all let's all remember that Ramadan (concerning food!) is not about food but about reducing the amount of food we eat to become more health conscious. Fasting during Ramadan can improve your health, but only if done in a proper way, if not, it will cause more harm to you than good.  I looked up some nice articles on food we should eat or avoid during ramadan to make sure we all survive ramadan without feeling to much hunger. I found two tables which are very helpfull in terms of eating the good/ avoiding the wrong food.  What food to eat/avoid for suhoor What food to eat/ avoid for iftar I hope this will help you guys! May Allah bless you and forgive your sins! 💗

sweet urban escape

Sweet urban escape Hi loves! First of all I would like to warn you that this won't be a blog about fashion but rather on how to escape the pressure for a while.  I'll share with you some tips that are related to my personal experience on how I become "zen" again by escaping the world for a moment.  We live in a time where people can't live a moment without checking their phone and sharing everything with the people around them/ world. Something called privacy (almost) doesn't exist anymore...I have to be honest and admit that I am one of the victims that sometimes really becomes very attached to her phone and keeps on checking FB, IG, Snapchat,... After a while I can already feel the stress coming up and I become very irritated out of nowhere. After a while I discovered that I can't deal with all this technology and I know now when I should take a break and leave everything aside before I get a burn out again.  Unfortunately not only t
