OUTFIT - the canal

In my previous post, I told you that I would post outfit photo's with new (old) coat as soon as the temperature dropped a little more. The temperature didn't drop, but I just couldn't wait to wear my coat! My mum shot these pictures of me alongside the canal in my town. I don't know if I have told you before, but I live in a canal house. My room is on the third floor and when I look outside my window I have an amazing view of the canal! Last winter was especially beautiful, because it was snowing and people were ice-skating. I hope it freezes again this year!

First of all, sorry dear bloggers, that I haven't been posting much lately! I had zero inspiration: I guess that's what happens when school mostly occupies my thoughts. However, this weekend I am having a creative boost. I have been reorganizing my magazines, going through my clothes and thinking of ideas for DIY's. I also made a start on my portofolio. Although I won't be studying photography next year, it's a passion of mine and I enjoy spending my time doing it. I signed up for a photography course today and my first lesson will be in a month. I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to get to know my camera better!
About this post, I found this treasure at a thrift store two weeks ago for only 10 euro's! I brought it to the dry-cleaners, because the fabric was a little dusty and now it looks brand-new! I love the cut, the red checked print on the navy blue and the parisian style it has to it. As soon as the temperature drops a little more, I'll post outfit photo's!

MY ROOM

I thought it would be nice to show you some pics of my room. About a year ago, I figured it was time to transform my childish, crammed, pink room into a somewhat adult, clean and  fresh room, but still with some colourful accents and fun interiour pieces. I chose for an off-white wall colour and a wooden floor. I think it's a combination which never bores and goes with everything! So, take a look and tell me what you think!   

My white sofa (which can be turned into a double bed), the red cushions and the mosquito net thingy are from Ikea, and so are the white-orange-yellow-grey coloured stoel, the white shelf above it, the Paris poster and my sheets. Yes, I know, I am a huge Ikea fan!

Both the white cupboard and the white closet are from Ikea as well. The best thing about my closet is its shape. Because it is a corner closet, it looks quite small, but from the inside it's huge! I put all my belongings in it; suitcases, most of my clothes, bags, shoes, boxes filled with souvenirs, photo frames and other random stuff. My white cupboard has several shelves and from top to bottom they contain: books, jewellery and make-up, books, a basket with head bands and other accessories, school books and last but not least, my magazines.

My desk is from a label called Lundia which, sadly, went bankrupt a few years ago. The chair is design as well, but I can't remember which label it's from. I do know that it is extremely comfortable and I love red, so it was the perfect chair for me. I tried to incorporate several red accents in my room: the chair, the cushions, the bottom drawer in my desk and my amazing, soft, beautiful curtains! They are velvet and as soon as I laid my eyes on them, I had to have them. They kind of reminded me of the red carpet in Hollywood!

The nailpolish was a DIY project of mine. In my opinion it turned out great! I also wanted to show you this card holder which hangs above my desk. I got it from my sweet grandma for Christmas. As you may know, I collect cards and I was so glad to be able to hang up my favourite ones, without having to put nails in the wall.
