Blog about things: maart 2013

Busy week working on my final examination project, but just a few weeks to go and I'm done! Now I've got a looong weekend till next wednesday and I'm spending the days working more on the project, meet up with a friend / boyfriend and watching Game of Thrones. Just started with the series and I'm already addicted!

I would like to show you my new tee with wings on the back:

New things

Sometimes I feel so so lucky, last week I found this amazing red lace top with open back for only 3 euros, one left in my size. I want to wear it with a black bustier bra and h&m has the perfect one, i needdd. Other two purchases: a very simple and elegant necklace (ASOS) & a small bag where my phone, money and mascara fit in perfectly when I go out (Monki). Very happy with this one as it has nog golden / silver details so it goes with almost any outfit & other accessories.

My lovely cat Pierre came to take a look at my new stuff, I think the necklace is his favorite.

MOTI Couture Graphique

Yesterday I went to see Couture Graphique in the Museum of the Image. Fashion and Graphic design are two big interests of mine, so I was curious to see what they got. It was nice, and I especially liked the part about the future & technology. Recently used that in a concept for a trend analysis. Must say that I thought there would be more to see but I think I was just bit spoiled after seeing Jean Paul Gaultier's exhibition.

& other stories

Recently I stumbled on this new webshop called '& other stories.' It's a brand under the H&M group, full of beautiful garments and accessories, minimalistic and sophisticated style for an affordable price. Visit the shop here. (free shipping to the Netherlands whooo!)

I normally don't wear these chic super feminine clothes but I really like the way all products are photographed on the webshop, they just make me want to have it all! I managed to resist for now.. but they have a store in Barcelona, where I will be in 2 months! Going for a week with my mom, so I'll definitely step by in their shop :)

Food diary: Day 2

Breakfast
Muesli again but without nuts this time and with a kiwi + green tea.

Lunch
Homemade bread with philadelphia light and a glass of soy milk.

Snack
I have no idea what this is called in english! It's got a sort of cake structure with a sweet taste and it's made of eggs. + dried apricots: very iron-rich!

Dinner

And again, a not very photogenic meal: broccoli with potato croquettes and pork meat in mushroom sauce. The potato croquettes are fried in our air fryer (tip) so we don't have to use frying oil > healthier!

Late night snack

I am watching super exciting series and I totally forget about the time. Suddenly my stomach reminds me that it's 22.30 and I slightly get feelings of hunger. I know it's not very good to eat late, but I can't resist green tea with biscuits.

My food diary

Since half a year I am am keeping up a food diary. Writing it all down definitely helps you to be more aware of how healthy you eat. I decided to take pictures of the meals I eat for a whole week and put them here. (After I shot the first day I realized that my dinners at not very photogenic)

>> Day 1

Breakfast
I always start the day with a good breakfast, I never skip it because I think it's the most important meal of the day. Helps me to wake up, gives energy and I'm pretty much always hungry when I wake up.. I eat biologic muesli with oatmeal, raisins, extra linseed and bran, a few unsalted nuts and low fat yoghurt. I drink two cups of green tea.

Lunch
At home we bake our own bread. Sometimes we add some nice herbs or nuts and raisins. It's very good with marmalade (the one in the picture is made of pineapple & pear). I also drink a glass of soy milk and I eat a kiwi for the vitamins.
