Obsessed Much? Tan Riding Boots Take 2

Hello girls! Since December is gift month, I decided to dedicate today's post to my newest pair of tan riding boots. Yes, I know I've just bought another similar pair less than one month ago. And yes, I know I have an obsession. In fact, I think that my boots obsession has overcome my bag obsession. But to my defence, before you start judging me and say how out of control I am, this was an early Christmas present. Since I was in Brussels and knowing how hard I usually find a pair of boots which I love, I gave in and decided to buy this gorgeous pair. And I don't regret buying them because I absolutely love them, they are very qualitative and I know I will be waring them years in a row. They are from a store called Ken Shoe Fashion (here is their website  if you are interested), but unfortunately I believe that their stores are located only in Belgium. Thus, if you ever go there, be sure to check these shoe stores because you will love their designs.
 
Going back to the stars of this post, they have the softest leather and I love the golden buckle details. I also love the fact that they don't have zippers, and the fact that they are just below the knee (in case you didn't notice, I adore knee-high boots). I don't know why but I don't quite like boots with zippers; I mean I used to have boots with zippers, and I still have a pair or two, but I always preferred those without. I think this is my favourite pair of boots ever and I am so glad I bought them because I know I will wear them loads! Below I posted some pictures of them and some of me wearing them so you can see how they look on the leg. You can also check my latest outfit post where I am wearing them.


Lucky you Belgian people for having this store! Anyway, I hope you like them and please understand I was not trying to brag! I am just really excited because I managed to find a pair of boots I love so much and I just wanted to share my enthusiasm with you lovely people :)

Until next time, take care x

November Through My Phone

Hello loves! As November is coming to an end I decided to show you how this month has been for me by means of the pictures I managed to snap with my phone during these past weeks. November has been a great and extremely busy month for me. I just love months like this when I always have something to do because I am full of energy and I have the feeling that I am not waisting any moment of my life. It's a great feeling and I wish more months could be like this! 
 
I couldn't start the month without a trip to the countryside to visit my adorable cats. I am a major cat lover and I enjoy spending time with these two little monsters so much.
 
My favourite makeup products this month// My first Pandora bracelet which my boyfrind bought me as a present for my nameday this month
 
Getting off the plane in Brussels// Eating mussels with fries; this is a traditional dish in Belgium yum!
 
Christmas has already came in Brussels! Many of the sweet shops were beautifully decorated as seen above x

 Some of the gorgeous gowns exhibited at the Costume Museum in Brussels
 
 Delicious dishes I ate at a gorgeous restaurant in Brussels called Drug Opera; left: Cordon Bleu and right: salmon fillet with Bearnaise sauce
 
 New winter coat from Zara (ignore the dumb face). I love the golden details and the furry collar// My first Bioderma bottle; I'm really excited to try it!
 
 The December issue of British Glamour// Santa came early for me with this amazing new pair of tan boots; I don't want to take them off!
 
Leonidas chocolates, the most delicious chocolates in the world!// I wanted to buy this book written by Catherine Delors from the moment I've read Melanie's review on her blog, although I don't understand why they've given it such a cheesy title in Romanian (Love and Blood). The original title is Mistress of the Revolution and yes, the action is set on the eve of the French Revolution :D Can't wait to read it! 

 That's it for my November round up! I hope you also had a beautiful month and that the month to come will be filled with wonderful and special moments! x

Brussels, my love

Hello girls! Long time no speak, I know, but I have been really busy this month, hence the lack of posts. But here I am again, with a special post no less :) If you follow me on twitter you probably know that I've been in Brussels for the past week...and I enjoyed it tremendously. Technically, it was a business trip, but thankfully for me my company didn't need my help as much as I though, hence I had loads of free time to visit the city, eat delicious Belgian specialities and hit the shops. So, it was more of a mini-vacation and I had such a beautiful time there! If you ever have the chance to go to Brussels, don't hesitate, because even though you don't have loads of places to visit, you will be impressed by the beautiful architecture, the nice museums, the delicious food and the relaxing atmosphere. I think that Brussels it's a great destination if you are considering going on a city break.
 
I think that my favourite places in Brussels were the Grand Place (gorgeous architecture) and the Costume Museum (ok ok, the street full of shops -Rue Neuve - was pretty amazing too).  It was the first time I've visited a museum which exhibits garments from the 18th and 19th century and I enjoyed it so much. The gowns were simply incredible! As far as the food is concerned, you have to try the waffles. I've never in my life eaten such delicious waffles. After all, they are a Belgian speciality! Also, the fish and mussels were really good as well, and I should probably mention that almost every dish was served with fries (some of the best fries I've ever tried). All in all, I had a beautiful time in Brussels and I would definitely go there again! Below I am going to show you some of the photos I took during my trip :)
