I have a boyfriend, oh wait no, no that's a fridge, I have a fridge..

 

Hi! The Christmas days are over, but I'm still hungry, as usual.. I adore and love food and I'm almost Always hungry. So I decided to share some of my favorite meals with you :).

So, a top 5 of good food!

1. First, I'm in love with pasta. Maybe it's because I really have a weakness for Italy. What I like about pasta is that you can make so many different types of dishes with it. You can make it with pesto, tomatoes, fish, meat and so on! What I also like is that you there are a lot of sorts of it. There are fusilli, tagliatella, ravioli and many more. You can wake me up for a good pasta, so that's why it's my number one!


2. All of a sudden it became very very popular and now you can eat it almost in every chinese restaurant on every corner of the street. I'm talking about sushi. I really like the fresh fish and the odd taste of the lovely wasabi. Can't get enough of it! Tomorrow I'm going to eat sushi with some friends for my best friend his birthday. Can't wait! Also because I have a nice present for him :).

3. What about meat? Yeah, I am no vegetarian at all! Can't eat enough meat and most of the time my grandma awares my family that we eat to much meat.. The meat I like is steak/sirloin with vegetables and mash potatoes with rucola. Simple, but really nice. The most beautiful sirloin I have ever eaten is the one I ate in a very nice and chique restaurant in Dusseldorf. Cooked perfectly, it melted on my tongue..

4. Ariba ariba! Mexican fajita's or tortilla's I really like! It's quick to prepare them and you can decide what to put on it yourself. The only thing is that there is a MUST with this dish, as far as I consider. There MUST be quacamole on the table! For sure :).


5. My number 5 isn't a meal or dish but a snack. I am addicted to salted popcorn and Japanese snacks. I also eat it with tea and stuff haha! The funny thing is, I'm watching a movie with popcorn right now..

Did you girls have had a nice Christmas? And do you have a favorite meal? Let me know!

Faux fur coats: Cozy, warm and fashionable

Je ziet ze overal in verschillende lengtes, kleuren, patronen en met of zonder mouwen. Ze zijn  lekker om te dragen in de herfst en op wat minder koude en regenachtige winterdagen. Het fijne aan deze jasjes is dat je ze op heel veel verschillende manieren kunt combineren.

Om een wat chiquere look te creëren is een wat kortere faux fur coat mooi op een (wat strakkere) jurk met sexy hakken. Wanneer je voor een wat stoerdere look wilt gaan,  staat een faux fur coat super leuk op een leather look jeans met biker boots of stoere hakken. Ook kan je de faux fur coats zonder mouwen over een leren jack dragen. Zo hoef je toch geen dik gevoerd winterjack aan, heb je het toch iets warmer dan met alleen een leren jackje en het ziet er ook nog eens super leuk uit.

Een faux fur item trekt veel aandacht. Daarom is het belangrijk wanneer je faux fur draagt, dat je het combineert met andere texturen en materialen, anders wordt de outfit een beetje te druk en too much. Hieronder zijn een aantal voorbeelden van faux fur looks.

Fall Musthaves

Hi! As you all know it's fall now. It's getting colder, the beautiful orange leaves come off the trees, time to sum up some fall musthaves!

Actually I'm more of a summer person, but I think fall is also oke, IF, it isn't too stormy.. For this post I have chosen a couple things which I think you can't miss during fall.

1. Furry coat. I'm searching for the perfect furry coat for a while now, but I haven't find it yet!

2. Yankee Candle. I really love scented candles, especially during fall and winter. Now I have a nice one from Ikea, but I have heard the Yankee Candles are amazing. These are not very popular here in Holland so I hope I can order one as a Christmas present of something via the internat.
3. Lovely and fluffy, you won't have cold feet with these ones on your feet!
4. Scarf from Bloved. I have this scarf myself and I think the colors are very nice.
5. Pickwick cinnamon tea. The taste is really a taste for cold weather, also like winter glow and autumn storm (also tastes of Pickwick tea). The Indian Chai of Lipton is also in my top 5!
6. Nice and warm sweater. This one is from H&M, but there are many other nice knits to wear when it's cold outside.
7. Hunter wellies. Some of them are ugly but there are also ones that are really cute, tough and awesome. Like this ones with a snake print on it. When it's rainy outside, you just put your Hunter wellies on and walk trough the puddles.
8. I Love... Body and hand lotion. I have wrote a review of this two week ago I think, if you're interesting, you can read it ;)! Especially when the weather gets colder, I want to take care of my skin. To prevent and care for a dry skin, I use the lotions of I Love.. My skin will become very smooth then.
9. Umbrella. You really need one of this in Holland... Unfortunately!
10. Blond Amsterdam mug. This is a mug from Blond Amsterdam, which is a very nice brand with all sorts of mugs, plates, cutlery and much more.
11. Timberlands. I have these boots myself, and I'm very happy with them. They are nice when it's rainy or cold and they can make my outfits really cool.
12. Poncho of Bloved. I really like poncho's or big scarves and thought this was a cute one by the brand Bloved.

Do you have any fall musthaves? What do you think of my musthaves? What is your favorate season?

I Love...

I think you all know the brand I love...

I Love… is a bath, body and beauty brand that lovingly creates the most gorgeous, deliciously scented products in the World.
All their products are bursting full of ideas, inspiration and happiness. They are fun and sensuous and all encapsulate the most memorable, delicious and delectable scents that magically transport the user to a different place, evoking powerful memories and injecting a little piece of happiness into their customers lives.

The founder of I Love… is James Brown, he is the Managing Director and Creative Mastermind behind I Love… Cosmetics. James is a product designer and fragrance marketer by trade and back in 2008 he had an idea; he wanted to create build the greatest smelling bath, body and beauty brand in World.

His passion is for amazing fragrances and the emotional connection created when people are surrounded by fragrances that evoke happy memories and positive emotions in a person’s psyche.

Every great brand is inspired by a love or a commitment for someone or something.

The products are based on his memories of all the things he loved and adored the smell or taste of whilst growing up in the English Countryside.

His ambition was to create a catalogue of amazing fragrances all motivated by happy times with family and friends. Everything from his first memories of holidays on the beach and Vanilla Ice Cream Cones, to his Grandma’s home-made Coconut biscuits, to freshly squeezing Lemonade in the summer with his sister and mother, to his first McDonald’s experience in the 80’s and the delights for a child of Strawberry Milkshake!

His aim was to capture the essence of these memories, flavours and experiences, recreate the scent and bottle them for everyone to enjoy and fall in love with.

 

Last week I was in the Douglas and I was looking for a good body lotion with a nice scent. On the shelves I saw a lot of body lotions, shower gels and body butters from the brand I Love... The packing of the products is really beautiful and they are really standing out between other products. There were a couple of different scents so I had to smell them all before I could make a choice which one I wanted to buy! I have chosen for the Strawberries & Cream body lotion and hand lotion. In my country the packing is a little different from the packing above and the name of the product is Strawberries & Milkshake, so also slightly different.

The body lotion has an amazing smell which you can still smell after a couple hours. Sometimes my skin is a little dry, mostly when the weather is cold, like now during fall and over a couple weeks in the winter. Most of the times I put on the body lotion after I had a shower. My skin became very soft and it just feels very nice and smooth to bring it on. Also the hand lotion make your skin very smooth and the scent is also very delicious.

The other scents of the I Love... brand are also very amazing. The one with vanilla I will recommend in the winter. It's a kind of warm smell which fits the winter I think haha. The ones with lemon and coconut are more scents for the summer. But obviously you can use them during the whole year, because they are all freakin' delicious!

I would really recommend to buy a body lotion, hand lotion or body butter, especially because during cold weather your skin could become very dry.
