Going to Paris!

I have planned a trip to Paris!! Yayy.. I've never been to Paris before and since I will be moving to Dubai pretty soon I wanted to do something nice with my mom. Pretty good choice right?!
I can't wait to see the Eiffel Tower, go on the Seine with a boat and shop on des Champs Élysées.
Oh.. and eat Croissants and Macaroons of course.
We're taking the Thalys (superfast train that will get us in paris in 2,5 hours) and I will book a room through airbnb.com, which is usually much cheaper than a hotel. This way, you get to stay in a local's home, which always makes the trip more interesting in my opinion. After all, they have the inside knowledge hahah.

Any tips for visiting Paris anyone?

Primark Accessories

Looks like I just got these pieces from my-wardrobe, mytheresa or net-a-porter right?... uhmmmm...... no. Got them from Primark. Although I love some good (vintage) designer pieces, there is no shame in using less expensive items to doll yourself up. The necklace was €5,- and the ring was €2,-!!! You have to start small right?!

Dubai Fashion Wishlist

This is (one of) my 'wishlists' for Dubai. As you might notice, a lot of color. I used to absolutely hate yellow... now I love it. I really want a methacrylate clutch in either yellow or pink, round sunglasses (preferably vintage), bright yellow (or pink/baby blue) court shoes and a crazy colored dress. Nothing is over the top for Dubai is it?

Clutch: Zara Dress: River Island Sunglasses: Asos Shoes: Charlotte Olympia

Moving to Dubai: the dreaded medicals

 

Yesss....54 days before I leave for Dubai to become a Trolley Dolly for Emirates Airlines and it doesn't mean I can relax. As everyone else that will join Emirates I have to complete a HUGE list of medical examinations and vaccinations. Since both my doctor and dentist have found this to be the perfect time to take a vacation, I can't really do much yet.

 

This is the 'short' list of things I need to get done for pre-clearance:

• blood test for HIV
• dental x-ray
• chest x-ray for tuberculosis
• blood test for syphilis
• blood test for Hepatitis B surface Antigen

These are a 'few' of the vaccinations, some of which require 4 injections (eww):

• meningococal ACWY
• Typhoid
• PPD
• Tetanus
• Diphtheria
• Polio
• Varicella

Awesome right?! Lol... I hope I can get it all done as soon as possible, so I can start thinking about and shopping for the fun part :-D.

Outfit of Today: Denim

Oh yes. Denim is back (was it ever gone?). It always makes me feel like I've returned to the eighties. Well, I was born in '89 so I don't actually remember it hahah. Love this type of collar, that I just have to combine with a red lip.

 

Top: H&M Pants: American Apparel Belt: Forever 21 Shoes: H&M

Ring: Abu Dhabi

I'm moving to Dubai!

I am moving to Dubai on the 5th of july!! Isn't that awesome?? I had applied as Cabin Crew for Emirates Airlines, got through all the stages (getting selected isn't easy) and today I finally got the Golden Call!! I am so excited. Before I leave I still have to go through a lot of medical tests and checks. Once in Dubai, I will be going through an intense 6/7 week training program and after that, I will be flying :-D! Will keep you posted..

Fashion era: the Sixties

I AM OBSESSED with Mod Style fashion right now. The sixties in general are one of the best fashion era's in my opinion. Icons that come to mind are Twiggy, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Jackie Kennedy.. oh lawd.. those were REAL women. Women with class, style and their own fabulous agenda to conquer the world with. Fortunately for me, some trends are back for SS13. I've seen great items at Topshop, Zara and River Island already.

Go get a few items, put on some black eyeliner and part your hair in the middle.. or get bangs. I migh also get some bangs again!
