dress: Zara • handbag: Terre Blue c/o • shoes: Scapa
Hello there! Phew… it feels weird to be back! After three weeks of mental labor and a few bumps in my post schedule (apparently I missed a week, oops) I am finally back to typing something not school related tonight. And it feels gooooood, I tell you.
My brain is still a bit dusty, and I need to find my focus again. So I’m going to keep it simple today and just tell you how I spent the first hours of my summer vacation. Oh yesss, those words sound good! After my exam this morning, I had lunch with one of my good old friends and we spent the afternoon chatting because we had a whole month of catching up to do. It felt good not having to talk about school or exams with someone. We had lunch at Le Pain Quotidien in Antwerp, a place I had only been to when I was travelling, but which is actually Belgian haha. Afterwards we got us a treat at a local bakery and enjoyed it over a good few hours of non-stop girl talk in my apartment. Being with a dear old friend gave me a much needed energy boost after being locked up inside for so long.
In the evening I went home to visit with my parents who I hadn’t seen in a few weeks either. I was welcomed home by my youngest sister jumping up and down around me, which was a really sweet sight. She bought me owl earrings on a vacation she had with her school, and I re-paid the favor by donating her one of my old dresses that she really really loves (she kept stealing it!), but that I have outgrown. I spent the rest of the evening cleaning out every part of my closet, and ended up with a pretty huge donation pile containing 9 dresses, 6 skirts, 3 tops, 2 cardigans, 2 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of shoes and a few scarfs and belts. The dress rack in my closet looks frighteningly empty after that action, but when I started writing this blog post I found an email from Banana Republic to inform me the sales in the UK are full on. I think I have to stop writing now, and go take a peek! See you again on Monday… Hopefully with a little less money in the bank 😉 Happy weekend!
I love the print on the dress! Enjoy your summer vacation! It sounds like you had a great start to it! 🙂
Voor mij is het ook bijna zo ver!! En echt een mooi kleedje 🙂

Haha Banana Republic sales, I know the feeling! 😉 Wel lief dat je je zusje zoveel gegeven hebt, mijn zus heeft een totaal andere stijl, dus ik ga een ander excuus moeten zoeken om mijn té volle kledingkast eens uit te mesten 😉
Leuk kleedje en mooie foto’s trouwens!
Leuke outfit! Ik ben af en toe echt jaloers op de kleding van mijn zusje, haha! Leuke tas heb je, de kleur is echt heel gaaf!
Zelf zou ik écht niet wegkomen met die jurk (wegens klein en chubby), maar ik vind wel dat jij er érg goed mee staat!
You look so lovely!! This dress is summer perfection! I’m happy you’re done with all of your exams and you seem very relieved to be done! I also love getting lunch with friends and chatting for hours!

This is a truly lovely, seasonal look, dear Nikki!! The floral print of the dress is so fresh, and your bow-embellished green bag makes the perfect accent piece!! Let the summer start indeed!! 🙂
