Primark lookbook Summer 2012

Dear readers,

Until a few months ago, I had never been to a Primark store, but after seeing all the amazing Primark campaigns, I knew I had to go there ASAP, so I did and WOW...I was impressed! Trendy clothes at a REALLY great price! For me...this was FASHION HEAVEN! LOL! I mean, of course I love Valentino, Chloé, Hermes and all the other amazing designer brands, but seriously...who can afford that? Not many people, and for now...definitely not me! ;) Anyways, I bought like 10 items and only spend € 48,00...WOOHOO!!!

So, when I saw a glimpse of the lookbook for this coming summer, I knew I had to share it with my lovely followers and readers! :) See for yourself!

What do you think of Primark's lookbook for this coming summer? It definitely reminds me of Miami, only then some decades ago :P I love, love, love the retro vibe of this collection and the popping colours!

Which items are your favourite? I have my eyes set on the floral suit displayed in the first picture! I am just hoping that it will be there when I arrive at the store, since Primark is known for changing its collection on a daily base. Another one of my favourites is the retro dress pictured in photo number 2 and the neon pink transparent cap!

Love, Melissa

ALDO goes tropical!

Dear readers,

I LOVE ALDO!!! And I am so bummed that there is not a single ALDO store here in The Netherlands :( Grrr....hate when that happens!
Anyway, ALDO has a new campaign out for this coming season and I wanted to share the adorable photos with you! Have a look!

When seeing this pictures, I cannot wait for summer to begin! :) What a tropical and retro vibe do this pictures give, right?! And how fabulous does model Anais Pouliot look?!

What do you think of this new campaign?

Love, Melissa

P.S. Did anyone notice the banana-phone?! ;)

New Years Eve!

Dear readers,

As promised, here some photos of my New Years Eve and the outfit I decided to wear for the BIG night :) Btw, I don't have any pictures of the shoes I was wearing before putting on the flats you see in the picture. The "before" shoes were so pretty, but so not wearable for a long night filled with dancing hehe :P Oh, and those pink headbands were just a touch of fun. It is actually a bow, but for some reason they look like bunny-ears haha!

I have such a great group of friends, they are so dear to my heart! Unfortunately not everyone could join us for the night, but it was nevertheless an amazing and unforgettable night and a REALLY good start for 2012!

What did you guys do?

Love, Melissa

Happy New Year everybody!

Dear readers,

Just wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year! I hope everybody had an amazing evening! I know I did! Lets make 2012 our best year yet!

Lots of love,

Melissa

2012 is right around the corner!

Dear readers,

Today is THE day! We're really heading towards 2012 now! How futuristic does that sound! So, this year has been a rollercoaster for me! I have had many not so great personal issues to deal with, but I also had some really great personal breakthroughs. And of course...2011 marked the birth of this blog and my nephew Milo! :) Wonderfull stuff hehe :P

So, I wanted to share with you why I feel it is important for every single one of us to have new year's resolutions. It has everything to do with the Laws of Attraction - everything we bring into the world, we get back! Key here is to actually sit down, think about the things you really want to see happening in your life and to write these down. And not just write them down in haste, NO, really think about the way you want to formulate this. It has to be in a positive and personal way, with positive and specific words AND it has to be in the present tense - as if it is already happening in your life! TRUST ME...IT WORKS!!!

Enough about resolutions! Lets move on to NOW and tonight! What are your plans? I'm going to a friends place in Amsterdam for dinner and some drinks and from there we will all (a group of 8 friends) go to a houseparty called "Amsterdam United", which I think will be an awesome way to start of 2012! Here a video of where you can find me tonight :)

I hope all of you will have an amazing evening with your loved ones and please, watch those fireworks! Also, let me know how your new year's resolutions turned out for you!

Love, Melissa
