Beauty: St Tropez tanning starterskit

Captain Tan ST Tropez tanning starterskit

I’ve always been a little bit of a noob when it concerns tanning. I always look up to people that return from their holiday with a gorgeous summer tan. I, however, am still radiating white light at the end of summer – whoops. White girl problems I guess.. Simple, I just don’t get a tan quickly.

So when I got in contact with Captain Tan* I was ready to give fake tanning a shot!
I decided to try out the ST Tropez starter kit as I call it, I think you could also use it as a travel kit! 😉

Picture this; a girl who already gets streaks when using a moisturising cream with build up tanning, trying the real deal for the first time. Oh my god I was so nervous! But, it all worked out. I didn’t have any streaks the first try, however I did have a little bit of oompa loompa hands. So for the second time I was a little bit more careful on the hands and voila! A perfect tan!

Maastricht – Outfit post

Hi loves,

Sorry for the inactivity last week. You know sometimes I make plans for myself and then lives throws you a huge curveball. And so for the past week I have been busy figuring out my next step… But hey, it will all be alright 🙂

“Maastricht, de parel van het zuiden / the pearl of the south”

For now I want to share my latest outfit with all of you! Last week I went to my dear blogger babe Taria Ann in Maastricht and we had such a fun and relaxed day together! We bonded a lot over our blogs the last couple of months. So of course we had to shoot our looks of the day! And so we had a fun outfit of the day shoot on the streets of Maastricht with the following photos as a result. I was wearing my Oakwood leather jacket, VOGUE tee, H&M trend skirt, Maruti sneakers via Nelson and my baby blue FURLA handbag.

Let me hear your thoughts on this outfit and stay tuned!

Baci,
Saranda

Layering for fall – Outfit post

September 9, 2016

Good morning loves,

As fall is coming up pretty quickly, it’s time to get layering for fall! I have already bought some gorgeous fall and winter pieces I can not wait to show you! One of the things being a cami dress I bought. Sometimes you see this new trend coming back from the 70’s/80’s/90’s whatever and even though you are not completely sure how it’s going to work out with your figure, you have to try it out!

And so last week I gave the cami over t-shirt trend a chance! I shopped a simple tricot navy came dress at H&M and paired it with a white tee by VILA with navy velvet print. To be honest, I still wasn’t sure about the look at this point… But, as soon as I paired the layered outfit with the right boots, in this case ankle boots with a seventies heel, I really liked it!

I finished the look with some pastel details, as hey, right now it’s still summer! My favourite pastel pink sunglasses by Andy Wolf Eyewear, my Daniel Wellington watch, and a delicious sorbet ice-cream!

Let me hear your thoughts on this outfit 🙂

Travel: Hiking the Caminito del Rey

September 8, 2016

Hi loves,

When I went on my holiday to Spain my boyfriend and I decided to follow our adventurous instincts and walk two gorgeous hiking paths in Andalusia. The Mediterranean steps in Gibraltar and the famous Caminito del Rey from Andares to El Chorro!

Today I would like to show you my photos of the beautiful and breathtaking hike that is the Caminito del Rey. Or the King’s Pathway! Hiking this pearl of nature has been an incredible experience and we both enjoyed the walk tremendously. This walkway, pinned at the steep mountain walls of the El Chorro gorge is a must see and must walk if you are into adventurous and active traveling. I promise you, this walkway will not let you down!

You start the walk at a post where you get a helmet and some basic instructions. The main instruction: “keep the helmet on at all times”. Hence the not so über charming photos with a mining helmet ;). From the beginning the walk is impressive. You see the water dam as one of the first things, which is the whole reason the Caminito exists. In 2015, just last year, the walkway reopened after being renovated. Safe to say, the path is now much safer than it was… But while being completely new, the views have not changed and the hight as well as being able to see the original pathway is spectacular!

I’ll just stop talking now and let you enjoy the photos we made during our hike! Stay tuned as we also have a video coming up featuring the Caminito del Rey as well as our hike at the Mediterranean steps!

Trend report: How to wear Black and White

September 1, 2016

Black and white trend - witte sneakers - sarandaadriana2

Hi babes,

Do you know what I think about, when I think about the black and white trend? White sneakers! So today I want to talk a little bit about this trend and how I wear white sneakers in a Black and White look.

I must say I can be a little bit afraid to go for a duo chrome look sometimes. Styling is key! A B&W outfit can become boring or plain pretty quickly. But with a stylish pair of white sneakers, your black and white outfit is going to be on point!

You can find some perfect white sneakers, or black if you prefer, over here!

How to style a Black and White look

There are a lot of ways to style a white pair of sneakers within a black and white look. A classic way to style your white sneakers is to pair it with a black jeans, white t-shirt and a leather jacket. Another classic is to wear white sneakers with a black sweater dress and, again, a leather jacket. But of course you can mix it up! For example go for a white silky blouse instead of a t-shirt and finish the look with a hat, just like I did for this outfit! Another idea is to go for an all white look with black accessories. Which can also be very beautiful! If you want to pull this of make sure all the white items are the same shade of white, for that crispy clean look!

My personal favourite way to style white sneakers in a B&W? White sneakers, black leather pants, a slouchy black cashmere sweater with v-neck, a long white coat, a black choker and a fancy black handbag. How would you style white sneakers in a black and white look? Let me know in the comments!
