Personal: I'll be back!

Shanah ● May 18, 2013

Hey sweets! I'm so, so, so sorry for the lack of updates lately, and unfortunately I won't have much time to blog until June.. School is taking up a big chunk of my free time at the moment - let me tell you I even quit my job two weeks ago *sigh*. I just got back from a shoot with Jeroen, I'm about to have dinner and get back to working on my (school) magazine's website. We'll also be recording our very first (school) tv program next week, which I will be presenting *proud*! Anywayz, I promise to post as much as I can! Stay tuned.

Love,

Shanah.

Fashion: Titi + The German Kid SS13

Shanah ● May 8, 2013

A few weeks ago Belgian brand Titi + The German Kid launched its SS13 collection and campaign, Strangers Have the Best Candy. The collection is all about freedom, loving life, rock' n roll and peace, and is based on what they call the hippie 2.0. Titi also wanted this campaign to be about rebellion and protest, in what she calls a pastel, hippie kind of world. So she wrote a song, together with the cool kids from Candlebags, and it's titled Strange Candy. Discover the collection below and listen to Strange Candy right here :)

Craving: new Sacha pistol boots

Shanah ● May 5, 2013

Just a quick craving post to tell you I need these babies in my closet. The brand new Sacha pistol boots are to die for, now aren't they? :D And in case you have no idea how to combine those rock 'n roll yet feminine booties, I made you a little collage of my favorite WE fashion SS13 items. Enjoy!

Motionless #15

Shanah ● Apr 30, 2013

1. A small selection of my make-up collection.. before the small spring cleaning I did. Of course I kept all my favorites (Rimmel lipsticks, Superdry blush, NYC palettes..) but I did throw away a whole bunch of make-up. My wallet has the right to hate me.
2. Press days galore! Just me being too excited about yet another Diesel item in the Tan Dem showroom. I need this jacket so badly! 240 euros, anyone?
3. My brand new kicks: Nike free TR twist canvas. Welcome to the closet, babies!
4. So, neon is SO last season? Well, I couldn't care less, because I finally found myself the purrfect neon accessory. I got this yellow neon necklace (with a GOLDEN chain, not a silver one *still can't believe it*drools*) at Hema.
5. Being a busy bee, I need meh some quality time now and then. Cava y tapas con my novio para relajarnos, or something like that *studying spanish atm*
6. Haven't you heard? Earmuffs are totally back! I absolutelyentirelytotally need these cuties from Shoe Discount. Can't wait for the AW13 collections to be in stores.
7. Yup, it took me over a month and a half to pay the Brussels Hema a visit since it reopened in February. Calls for a small haul, me dunkt) New earrings, a curler, some refreshing tonic and the greatest nail polish remover I've ever had, booyah!
8. They definitely had the yummiest press days snacks EVER over at Turbulence PR. And nope, it has nothing to do with cupcakes (only) So if you're looking for some amazing catering for an event, check out Elle Cuisine!
9. Birthday celebrations all over the place! And those call for celebratory drinks, now don't they? That'll be a lemon daiquiri, please ;)

Gadgets: Headphones and earplugs

Shanah ● Apr 29, 2013

This chica is ready for summer.. Or at least I'm ready for some summer tunes with this selection of headphones and earplugs :) When shopping for these gadgets, I'm always on the lookout for functionality and design at a nice price. And whether you're looking for fine quality, popping and fun colors, or for a nice design just like me, I'm sure you'll find it below!

Winter may seem everlasting, but these lovely (and affordable!) Urbanears will definitely brighten up your day. And let's take the latter part literally, because Urbanears offers a wide range of models in over ten different colors! Want those grape bagis earplugs, or those olive plattan headphones? Be quick and buy them now, because Urbanears exchange colors every now and then. Owh, and please don't stop the party! In case you're a pro deejay, or if you're the one always getting the fun started, check out the brand new slussen mix tool, and take the party with you, wherever you go ;)

Zound Industries - the company that makes electronics fashionable, and fashion electronic - introduced the new listening experience Molami about a year ago. With Molami you'll be sure to have premium headphones that are worthy of your designer bag. On my personal wish-list? The beautiful Twine white silk headpiece with gold details.. *drool* Better put some money aside first, because the Molami design and quality comes at a price starting at 150 euros.

Marshall. Like seriously, need I say more? Oh well.. When I think of Marshall, I always imagine groupies camping outside the backstage entrance, roadies being all excited and all over the place, and crazy loud amazing rock music. And that's exactly what this brand is about: Marshall breathes rock 'n roll. After 50 years of speakers touring around the globe with the best musicians and audiences, I guess it was time to bring the sound to the individual. You can experience the Marshall magic from 60 euros on.

Beauty: Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes

Shanah ● Apr 21, 2013

A while ago I got these Katy Perry Color Pop fake lashes by Eylure! Being a flasies sceptic (you do NOT want to see me glue lashes on..) I wasn't too sure whether these would be a go or a no-go... The Color Pop lashes come in four lovely boxes:

KA-BOOM!

A pair of full lashes with a slight blue color to them, that's what the KA-BOOM box is about. Glue and glue remover are included (in all four boxes), as well as a really cool sticker with the lashes' name on it. Pretty sure this blue baby is suitable for most eye colors! :)

KA-POW!

These violet-ish fake lashes will make every eye color look good.. But brown-eyed beauties will definitely look best with these ones, whether you use them by day or by night. Add a tad of eyeliner, like Annebeth did, and you and your sexy look are ready to go!

KA-CHING!

Time for my favorite box: the KA-CHING. These green tipped falsies make my green-greyish eyes stand out even more! I've only had them on to try them and for a night out, but I'm pretty sure I'll wear these a lot more often in summer.

KA-ZAAM!

Different than the three boxes above is KA-ZAAM. This one has individual lashes in blue, violet and green. They come in two lengths: short and medium. Go for a neat look with just one color, or build it up and go *that shit cray* with all three of them: it's all up to you!

Overall I am really satisfied! The Katy Perry Color Pop lashes are the easiest EVER to glue on and to take off, and on top of that you can reuse them several times. You can buy them for about €8,50 at your local Di store (in Belgium) - or check their stockists and availability online :)

Here are a couple of pictures of my friends and I, all wearing the Color Pop lashes. I look like a doll, I know. I think it's cute and I love it! Laetitia is wearing the KA-ZAAM individuals ;)

Trips: Berlin

Shanah ● Apr 14, 2013

Hey there y'all! I figured it was time for me to show you sweets some pictures of my trip to Berlin last month :) We did so many things! We did a bike trip around the city, visited a concentration camp and other memorials, had a guided bus tour, went to the zoo.. I mentioned before that Berlin wasn't as amazing as I had imagined it would be, but we had an a-okay time anyways :)

Owh, I know these are quite a lot of pictures, but trust me when I say making a selection was really tough (talking over 1000 pictures here!).. Enjoy!

Pictures taken with my iPhone/Nikon, some taken by my friends Xenia and Tineke :)
