Outfit: Palm Tree Dress

Yesterday we went to the Drielandenpunt and I was wearing one of my favourite purchases of the summer, so I thought I'd do a post about it.

I found this dress in a H&M sale and instantly knew I had to have it. The palm tree print is just the right amount of tropical (without straying into Hawaiian Shirt territory) and the black and white keeps it classic and perfect to pair with a bold lip. I also love the length of this dress, almost every casual dress I own is either a short skirt or maxi, this one falls at a really nice calf length and is perfect for those days when I want to wear something cool but don't want to be completely exposed.
I wanted to wear a bit of jewellery with this outfit, but I couldn't find the pieces I was looking for and everyone was waiting for me, so it's a pretty simple one today.
The sandals were also from H&M but I got them years ago, they are literally glued together because I've worn them a lot, however I think they've done some this year that look almost exactly the same.

Outfit: Record Store Day

Saturday was Record Store Day across the world, a day that celebrates independent record stores.
My band, Southern Sunrise, were booked to play two in-store shows in Maastricht and Heerlen. We had a great time, played two awesome shows and enjoyed the nice weather, we even got goodie bags. The only downside of the day was the parking ticket we got...

Outfit: H&M Floral Maxi Dress

When I was home last, my mum and I went shopping and I came back with a good few additions to my wardrobe. One of the items I found in H&M was this floral maxi dress, which I thought would be perfect for a gig outfit, dressed up with my chunky boots and some dark make-up, or for other spring occasions dressed down without the tights and a pair of cute sandals and sunglasses.

Outfit: Chunky Knit, Silk and Patterns

I haven't been blogging very much recently a) because our internet has only just been fixed and b) because I've been feeling super lazy. We had a really busy February for gigs and on top of it all both Arjan and I got horribly sick and it's taken me a long time to feel like I'm fully recovered.
So today I vowed I would take a shed-load of pictures of a variety of things and now I have 3 things to post about (plus a massive post after the weekend, all will be revealed in good time).
I decided to start it off simple as I've had a big cooking session today and I'm worn out, plus I've only done one outfit post and I keep thinking I should do more!

Rings - H&M

I'd been eyeing up this t-shirt since before Christmas but I didn't have the money for it at the time (not that it was expensive, I'm just broke) then on Tuesday we were shopping with Arjan's Oma and I saw that it was on sale. I was ummming and ahhhing over whether to get it and Oma came over and said she would buy it for me! (apparently she later said "I've seen her looking at that thing for months and I couldn't take it any more!" haha)
I'm loving these stackable rings at the moment, they were dead cheap from H&M and I like how simple they are. I'll definitely be getting some more to mix it up at some point though!

Now, I'm going to get working on the next post as I foresee some heavy drinking over the next few days and that will definitely hinder my ability to type sensibly…..
