LIFE | 21

Today is my 21st birthday, woop woop! I can now say that I am a "twenty-something".

Knowing myself and being completely honest, I am a pretty difficult person to make really happy, also on my birthday.. Not my best and most beautiful quality but it all starts with acknowledging it, right? While we're being honest, let's continue. This 'quality' of mine isn't easy for the people around me but it isn't easy for me as well. Always those expectations.. 

On a positive note, I think I'm not only older on paper but also wiser in real life : I haven't got the most presents (yet) neither have I done anything special yet but I'm pretty happy already :) -of course this didn't happened overnight, just me developing I guess.

To a happy year!

LIFE | Because I'm happy

Hello sweets, how are you? As you can probably tell from the title of this post and the picture above -which is an old one by the way and yes I am wearing clothes, strapless ;) - I am pretty happy today. 

There are multiple reasons for my happiness : I'm really glad September is over hence it is the month I like the least, like I already told you, for personal reasons. Anyways on to the next reason, fall still hasn't really hit Belgium yet which I reaaaally like - I love the sun and heat just way too much. And last but not least, I finally found two new beautiful bras today! Us girls like some beautiful lingerie, don't we? 

All I can say is that I hope you had a great day as well and that I hope October will continue like this..

WORDS | Happiness

The reason I share these words is because it is true and too little people realize this. Lots of people only realize it when they are going trough a rough period or when they aren't happy. 

Past Saturday I was having a conversation with someone I hadn't see in a long while and she said a couple of things which fit perfectly with this quote : 

- When you're having fun, don't leave. 

- Try to enjoy every second of your life. 

Since she said this stuff, I'm constantly thinking about it. We all know these things but actually realizing them? I don't think we do. 

It is so important to be happy, for you, your loved ones, your mental and physical health, etc. and for a part the happiness is in our own hands so I'm going to post a DIY soon. What it has to do with each other, I'm not going to reveal it yet so stay tuned! 

WORDS | Collect moments

When I am writing this it is almost midnight and I just got home from a trip to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. 

This quote may look a bit 'weird' on a fashion blog since fashion has lots to do with things but in the end, what do you remember? Things or memories from funny, lovely, special moments?

I am not saying that you don't have to buy anything, I know that I won't leave that Chanel 2.55 in the shop if I had the money, but what I want to say is that maybe we should invest more in moments that make us happy -a citytrip, going a day somewhere, a festival, a vacation or something else that you love to do- instead of buying another pair of jeans or shoes. 

This is definitely not an attack on you because I'm guilty of buying another thing of this/that as well, it is a reminder to me, you, us. 

WORDS | Laughing

We all know that laughing is good for many things : a good mood, a better health, a positive environment, etc. Since Monday isn't the most favorite day for most of us, I tought it would be nice to share some funny pictures/quotes with you. It are things that make me smile or laugh, I hope it works for you as well so you can have a good start of the week! 

WORDS | Happiness

Everybody is always talking about happiness. But what is happiness exactly? 

Perhaps not everyone will agree but for me, the definition above is a pretty good description of 'happiness'. 

Do you agree or do you have another opinion? 

NEW | FCUK bag

Hi sweeties, here is my new French Connection bag! I know, I know, I made a promise to myself to not buy anything for one month but there were 2 exceptions : this rose gold clutch from FCUK and a silver bag from Zara, which I still haven't found :( 

If you follow me on Instagram and/or Twitter (both under the nickname @lyndesloovere) you know that this bag was on my wishlist so bad sooooo .. happy me ! :D 

DIARY | Communion

Here is a little diary from my sister's feast for her Holy Communion. Some pictures of the location, the chandelier which I absolutely adore and of course photos of  the highlight of the day : cutting off the head of the ice-lamb! 

Happy 2013

I wanted to share this picture with you because that's exactly what I did on 00:00. Give a big kiss to my boyfriend, this our 'happy new year's kiss' :)

Did you celebrate well? I really hope you did!

Now it's time to say what I wish you : luck, happiness, joy, fun, love, health, friendship, .. and everything you wish for. May all your dreams and wishes come true!

With every new year, people make resolutions. So do I. Most of the time I forgot them after a few months (but I don't have that excuse anymore since I'm going to write them down, here, online) or I just hadn't got the courage to stick with them. But hey, now you guys are here to remind me at them! So, here are my resolutions/goals :

- eat healthier

- write more blog posts (at the end of 2012 I wasn't able to write posts because of some problems with the blog, I apologize again!)

- get good grades

- achieve something with the blog (everything is welcome : get more followers, collaborations with PR-agencies/people/brands, get more comments, etc.)

- explore at least 2 new countries (my goal is 2 because I've already planned a trip to a country where I've never been before so one more to go)

- ...

I wish everyone in the world a HAPPY 2013 !!!
