What's the last beauty/fashion/food/drink thing you bought?

October 18, 2014

Ehh I can't even remember what I bought in terms of clothing. I think a pack of 20 denier tights and a cropped black sweater from Monki sometime in August. Beauty, new concealer (Bourjois cc concealer pen) and I had a slice of Oreo cheesecake and a cappuccino this afternoon. I also did some groceries, but I don't think you care to read my shopping list.

What makes you really nervous?

October 17, 2014

people. giving talks in front of groups. people. life in general.

When you make cakes, do you follow the recipe correctly or do you like to add your own twist? What do you think about the healthiness trends and bownies made of beans?

October 17, 2014

Depends on what I'm making and if it's something I haven't tried before. Generally I do make some tiny adjustments to recipes.
I'm very much interested in the whole health trend, but I definitely don't take it too seriously. I read about the black bean brownies as well on Garance Doré. I'm very curious to try them out sometime.

Hello Kim! What do you think of the Alexander Wang for H&M collection? Any pieces you like? http://www.vogue.nl/fashion/nieuws/gallery/alexander-wang-x-h-m-lookbook/alexander-wang-x-h-m-10 . What about the black cut out dress?

October 16, 2014

Ugh no, I don't like the collection at all. The dress could work if styled well, but I'd never buy it.

What do you think of the collection of jeanne damas for nathalie dumeix? Any pieces you like?

October 15, 2014

The garments look better on Jeanne than they do on the website. She styles and wears the items well, but I wouldn't want to buy anything. I think the black dress looks nice though.

Can you share some cheap, easy and quick recipes for dinner that you like? Thank you!

October 14, 2014

Also noodle soup is great, just throw in whatever vegetables you've got left in the fridge and freezer and serve with a boiled egg. Same goes for vegetable soups, frittatas, (baked) rice and vegetables, beans and tortilla wraps, quiche.

i think you should start blogging again! i LOVE your style and taste!

October 13, 2014

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I don't think I'll ever start blogging again though. I haven't got the faintest idea what to write about in terms of 'fashion' and 'style'. I think my tumblr accounts cover whatever I'd want to 'express' already.

what is your make up ritual and which products do you use?

October 13, 2014

Coincidentally, someone asked me about my routine only a few days ago via tumblr, here you go: http://thekidsalooker.tumblr.com/post/99468935976/whats-your-daily-make-up-routine-x

Not mentioned in that post, but I'm in the habit of lining my lids with a gold coloured pencil from Essence again. Might be barely noticable since my eyelids are a bit hooded, but I think it makes my eye colour 'pop'. I went through a winged eyeliner phase for months but I'm not sure if the look actually suits me that well. At least it doesn't seem to photograph well. 1940s/1950s make-up is my favourite look ever. :/

love your latest instagram pic! may i ask which nailpolish it is and what shade of chanel lipstick? thanks!

October 13, 2014

Thank you! I forgot to tag the nailpolish but it's 2,50 euros varnish from Hema, the brightest red they have. The lipstick is Rouge Allure in Passion (104). I wear bright reds 80% of the time, alternating between passion, MAC's Ruby Woo and one from Charlotte Tilbury. Rimmel's Red Fever is another all time favourite but I gave it to my mother.

Do you have a listography?

October 13, 2014

Nowadays I only update the list of movies I've watched this year, but here it is: http://www.listography.com/theotherway/

Which DVF dresses do you like?

October 13, 2014

I'm not familiair with her dresses. The wrap dress in a neutral colour is a great timeless piece.

Liked by: Sophiee ღ

What do you think of Diane von furstenberg dresses & prints?

October 13, 2014

Depends on the dress and the print.

Hoi! Welke dag/nachtcremes gebruik je en wat voor soort huid heb je?

October 11, 2014

Hm, ik heb op dit moment geen vaste creme. Ik gebruik nu voornamelijk verschillende proefmonstertjes van Clarins, zonnebrandcreme (speciaal voor het gezicht), moeder's bijna lege Caudalie anti-rimpel dag- en nachtcreme, Mario Badescu honey moisturizer (al durf ik deze op dit moment niet zo goed te gebruiken, m'n huid reageerde namelijk slecht op reinigingsproducten van hetzelfde merk), Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream, Darphin aromatic purifying balm (werkt zeer goed).
Misschien koop ik komende winter Caudalie's vinosource recovery creme weer, een van de beste producten die ik tot nu toe geprobeerd heb.

Ik geloof dat ik een gecombineerde tot droge huid heb.

If you browse on the internet to look/buy clothing.. Which sites do you usually check? I got fired today and I want to buy some nice stuff to make me feel better :(

October 09, 2014

Oh, that sucks big time! :-(
Uhm, Zara, H&M, Monki, Ebay, Net a Porter, the Outnet, brandbazar, COS, APC, Topshop, Asos, vestiarecollective.

I hope you'll feel better soon! Treat yourself to a pint of ice cream and/or a slice of cake as well. ;-) x

Best place to buy cashmere?

October 09, 2014

No idea. Zara and H&M's mens departement are the best places for the poor men's cashmere.

What would you ask for your birthday? Mine is coming soon.. And I always have so many things in my mind, but when it's finally there I can't think of anything.

October 08, 2014

I'm the same! Maybe I'll have to write it down whenever I think of something I'd like to have for my birthday. Anyway, I'm awfully boring when it comes to birthday presents. I always ask for books, dvd's, perfume and/or money. Sorry, for not being any help. I hope you'll have a great birthday. ;-) x

Where to find nice and quality basics? I tried COS, Zara etc. but I'm not satistief about their quality...

October 08, 2014

I don't know. Petit Bateau, APC, Filippa K?

Another one (yes, I am that curious to know your opinion..), what do you think of these?: http://www.zara.com/be/nl/nieuw-deze-week/dames/bewerkt-tricot-vest-met-zakken-c287002p2251526.html and http://www.zara.com/be/nl/dames/blouses/blouses/stippenblouse-met-vleermuismouw-c498003p2190512.html Thank

October 08, 2014

I'm not really fond of the collar of the blouse, especially with the open back. The cardigan is ok, could look cool with the right outfit.

Hi Kim! As an secret admirerer of your style and taste I was wondering what do you think of these dresses? http://nathaliedumeix.42stores.com/product/Robe-Jane and https://thereformation.com/products/jade-dress-black ?

October 08, 2014

Oh boy, a secret admirer... Thanks. ;-)
I like the first dress better. I'm not crazy about the v-neck and sleeves of the second dress.

Do you try to always buy natural vibers or do you not care if it's polyester?

October 08, 2014

While I prefer natural fabrics, I wouldn't mind buying something of polyester if I really love it.

Do you know nice places in London? Ive never been there!

October 08, 2014

I've never been there either!

If you had monthly 500 euro to spent.. On what particular items would it be?

October 07, 2014

€500 on clothing every month? That would be insane. I think I'd invest in a good coat, a leather bag, knitwear, lingerie, the perfect ankle boots. I'd try to save up as I don't need to buy clothing all the time. But I'll very likely manage to spend it all on food and stuff anyway.

Do you ever have spontaneous impulsive buying-moods ?

October 07, 2014

Lack of money keeps me from indulging in those moods.

What do you think of this flowery sweater? And this brand in general?http://www.essentiel-antwerp.com/nl_nl/women/sweaters-cardigans/harper-sweater.html

October 07, 2014

Ugly, both the sweater and the brand.

Your wishlist? :)

October 07, 2014

Fuck off. :)
