Images that sum up what's on my mind these days. Do you often skim the net for inspiring retina-food?

DIY | belted

Saw these boots streetstyled at Paris Fashion Week. 

I'll track down some cool vintage belts and a pair of dull boots, and these may just be my next DIY project ..

What do you think?

LOVE | madame

Ph. via purseblog.com

Every day I walk to school via the Royal Galleries in Brussels. And every day I see it. My dream bag. The Delvaux Madame .. I can't resist peeking through the Delvaux window every single time - the shop assistants must think I'm a little nuts by now. The chance I will ever own a Madame is minimal (even if I had the money I still couldn't decide on the color!), but I keep on visiting them, like the nutty girl I am ..

Is it just me or is this Delvaux Madame a (not that) far cousin of the Prounza Schouler (PS) 11? Both are elegant, beautifully crafted, box shaped, structured bags, both come in a gazillion colors and both are well on their way of getting a mythical IT-bag status. And, I love both! It must be boxy-bag-o'-clock ..

LOVE | currently craving

Ph. linked webshops (sorry for the slightly blurred pictures, I'm having some pc trouble lately, but those who follow me on twitter know that replacement is on its way)

As the final sale items are flying out of (virtual) doors I'll show you my last sale (and occasionally new collection) cravings, all-but-one reasonably priced .. I guess this post gives away where I do most of my online shopping as well. This list contains those last cravings I always have at the end of a sale so I'm not planning to really buy these (to die for!) items - if I can control myself. A lot of what I did buy premiered in my previous outfit posts (here & here) but I will show you the rest of my sale booty later this week.

So here we go:

 1  Asos faux fur jacket with zipper and hood

 2  Asos mongolian faux fur cape

 3  Asos check biker jacket

 4  Asos check print backpack

 5  Asos aztek satchel bag

 6  3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel (via Barneys, not on sale)

 7  Casio Classic retro watch (via Asos)

 8  Johnnie loves Suzie floral headband (via Asos)

 9  Asos collar necklace

10 Asos embellished beanie

11 Faith Sara ankle boots (via Asos)

12 Asos Close knee high boots (not on sale)

I've always been a sucker for sweet candy colors and mint has been one of my favorites for years. But these last couple of weeks it is becoming a serious problem as I seem to be longing for (and buying) everything mint that catches my eye. I guess you could say I'm 'slightly' color-obsessed. To turn this situation into a profitable one, I decided to share some of my carefully cherished mint treasures - some old, some new - and some of my cravings that I will welcome in my collection soon - hey, a girl can hope!

LOVE | electro bird

I just recently discovered French jewellery designer Shourouk Rhaiem (shop Shourouk here or here), I know, where have I been right .. Anyhow, since my 'awakening' (haha) many of her designs - especially the bold and colorful necklaces - have blown my mind and now I'm obsessed by some a lot of her pieces. The one I love the most is the necklace above called Electro Bird. Sadly there is no way of getting it anymore as it is sold out everywhere for months. That, and I might prove to be just a little too broke right know to handle an investment like this.

So I've decided - very bravely - to try to DIY this fabulous necklace (this DIY by Lucette et Suzette shows that something like it cán be done) .. Lets get those beads out!

But first things first, exams ..
