i am keeping it...

i received my leather jacket this morning :o so fast... i've expected it after christmas... lucky~



the jacket is slightly loose on me... but i decided to keep it. cause with it being a bit loose, i can wear a chunky knit under it, to keep me warm during this winter. And also, during the less colder seasons, i can just wear it open...



other than how it fits, this jacket is just like i've expected it too be... :) and i am also happy with it's weight, it's not too heavy ^^

review mijnnaamketting/mynamenecklace part 2

remember my review about the word necklace i got from mijnnaamketting.nl (which is the dutch version of mynamenecklace.com)...

they sell word/name jewelry, in sterling silver and gold. they got different fonts and also different products. bracelets, rings...  and ofcourse necklaces...

last time my necklace came in a small organza bag, this time, it came in a small cardboard box... the lid secures/closes with a magnet. i don't really use organza bags, but this box i would like to use to store the necklace.

in my last review i mentioned how i find the plate pretty thin and that i didn't really like the chains. but... that i did like the look of the plate.

can you see the difference of the plate? the left one is my new necklace, the right one is my older one. this version has the double thick plate!

i ordered this necklace with a figaro chain, which i think look so much better than the box chain. the figaro chain is wider than the box chain, which looks so much better with the rings that connects to the plate.

also... my original necklace was scratched on the back of the plate, this time it's not :) it looks just like how the front of the plate looks like.

difference in price? i payed 29,95 eur for the old one… the new one, is sponsored, but is sold for 39.95 eur. in my opinion, the double thick plate version is totally worth the 10 eur more... i would definitely buy this necklace again, if i can come up with a new word or name...

last but not least... i have a 8% off coupon code for you all... order from mijnnaamketting.nl or mynamenecklace.com and use this coupon: "JenL"

for the dutchies, try "korting" for 10% off.

if you want to know more about how i experienced their service, you can read my first review.

(fyi: this necklace is sponsored by mijnnaamketting.nl, but i did pay for the first necklace from my first review. and again, my reviews are completely honest... i can promise you that. i only agreed to do this review, because i like their necklaces and their service.)

where is the sun?

i just received my new sunglasses, but where is the sun :( summer has just started, but it feels like autumn already... hope the weather will get better soon!

it kinda looks like my other pair of sunglasses... though they look really different when you see them next to each other...

i think the left one looks better with classier and romantic outfits, while the right one look better with tougher and edgier outfits...

the temples are nice and thin, just how i like it. they are more decorated than i like, it has engraved stars with swarovski crystals in it... but since it will be covered by my hair, it doesn't really matter much...

they feel light and comfortable (so far)... ^^ at least more breathable than the other pair... and this pair has silicone pads, so i can adjust how it sits on my nose...

it came in a golden soft case... looking pretty and all, but i do prefer hard cases more, more durable...

i found these sunglasses in the asos outlet section... got it for 100 uk pounds... which is around 128 eur... much cheaper than my other pair... happy with my buy ^^ (it's not sponsored!)

 

hope you all got better weather ^^

cute flats from h&m ^^

h&m recently came out with some really cute flats... here are the ones that i like:

i had to get this one, when i saw them... they look cute and matches my new bag... and i am so happy i got them, because they are so comfortable. € 19,95

i am still looking for this pair... hope they look as good as in this picture ^^
€ 19,95

i have only spotted the purple pair so far... seen people wearing the black pair... what about this color? where is it? € 19,95

wonder how this pair would look on, they look nice to me...  they look comfortable too. € 29,95

€ 9,95

€ 9,95

have you already spotted these? what do you think about h&m shoes? they might not be the best quality, but the price is great... some are horrible to wear and some are awesomely comfortable... ^^

meet my new friend...

we met a few weeks ago, and we could go along pretty well... ^^ she's very nice, pretty and has a great body, perfect to be a model. so... i asked her to be my model, she agreed...

so... the day has come, today is the day she moved in with me... meet my new friend...

her first assignment is to show my new bikini ^^ haha, it looks better on her, than on me XD

though i like my old bikini more, i didn't return this one. my old one somehow fits my body better, but it's much more revealing (and i'm talking about the bottom piece)... and i thought i needed a more appropriate set for the swimmingpool (as i am thinking about starting swimming again)... my old one is (in my opinion) more suited for the beach. 

so the old one, is by o'neill, my fave brand for swimwear. i've always been buying o'neill, but when this grey set went on sale, i thought i wanted to try a different brand. my new set is by protest. i'm loving the pattern on the fabric, and this is actually my first black set of swimwear XD i'm liking my new swimwear, but i'm sure my next one, will be by o'neill again... (any fave brands you like for swimwear?)

have you gotten any new swimwear for this year, or are you going to rock your old ones?

tiny haul ^^

yeay... i went shopping today... and had a nice sushi dinner after... i'm trying not to use to much money this year though... because i'm planning on going to hong kong this november (for 2 weeks)... i want to save more money to shop there ^^ can't wait...

but anyways... i wanted to share what i got today... it's not much...

first h&m... i got some basics (which aren't really worthy to show...) and a cheap loose boyfriend blazer... it was only 19,95... i can understand why it's cheaper than the other blazers though... it's thin and it has no lining... but it looks nice and very casual, so i decided to get it anyways...

then i got a bag from new yorker... i hardly get anything there, but the bag caught my eyes... i noticed more nice bags, but they were all tan, and i'm not fan of tan colored things... they got some pretty nice shoes too, but i didn't get any...

the bag has 5 snapbuttons inside, so i can wear it in different ways...

and the bag also has some big clasps that really works...

i can change the straps... and i can replace them with other straps too if i had any :p i was thinking about some chains... something like this... it would create a very edgy look ^^

the bag is divided into 2 parts by the zipped pocket in the middle... also on 1 side there is a smaller zipped pocket... on the other side are more smaller pockets...

i enjoyed my day very much, though i'm suffering from a very bad skin day -_- this isn't the first time i get something like this... i get an allergic reaction like this once in a while... but mostly i can figure out the cause... but this time i really have no idea...  i just exercised... and went showering... after the shower, i had a burning sensation on my face, though i didn't do anything different from the other days... sigh... it doesn't only look awful, it also feels awful... it feels like my cheeks are on fire... and when i'm putting on my moisturizer... it stings :( i hate my skin -_-

talking about exercising... i started to exercise some more... it's easy to loose shape when i have to sit for many many... many hours a day... so 31 january (this year) i started to do more excersise again... (i got a little bit motivated by jinah chae, she's great!!)... i've been very sloppy the past year... i thought i didn't had the time... but actually i didn't make time to do it... i just finished my 4th week today...  i'm using my excersise bike 5 times a week for 30 minutes (so 2,5 hours a week, which is enough for me)... and i'm starting to feel a bit more healthy again...  yeay ^^ don't make up any excuses for not doing something...

wish you all a great weekend...

<3

awwwooohhh!!

i've received my spirit hood (last week, didn't had much time to blog)!! ^^ yeay... finally... i've waited for 2 weeks... i wanted to order it from the official website spirithoods.com, but i ordered it from ebay instead... not because it was cheaper, i paid full price... the shipping and tax was quite high too... but it was because i don't own a credit card... paypal is like my best friend when it comes to international shopping ^^

i do recommend to buy it from their official website, just to be sure you get the real thing... and for every blue product you buy, you are donating for a good cause...

anyways... that day... when i reached home, and saw the package in my room, i immediately knew what it was... i opened the box, removed the wrapping plastic... i was like :O it's sooo pretty, soft... amazing!! it fits perfect on me, the shape of the hood is so good... the ears are nicely made... and the fabrics feels sturdy too ^^ it has small pockets at the ends... and a button to close the hood... it even has a small hidden pocket on the inside... which is really neat for small important stuff...

what else can i say? look for yourself... if you love it, it's definitely worth the money...

received yesstyle order (8) part 1

ieee... i found a package when i came home after a really tired and long day of work... it's a yesstyle package... i ordered last saterday and i've already got my package... it's the fastest order i ever had... we ordered only "ready to ship" items... (we = shared order... so a part 2 - men will be coming up soon)

i only ordered 3 things... i didn't feel like ordering shoes, though i did saw some nice pairs...

1. hooded jacket
brand: puffy
size: one size
material: twill
price: 37usd
color: army green

i like this jacket so much... just the style and how it fits... maybe i've said it before, but i'm really into army/olive green lately ^^ love the "belted" detailing on the sleeves and around the lower waist... i love how the sleeves are not too short... it looks just the way i wanted and expected it to be...

too bad this jacket isn't lined... you can see the stitches inside the hood... and plus the material is really thin... so i think i might have to wait a while, before i can actually wear it... even my blazer is made out of thicker material! other thing that i don't like about the hood is, it's shape, it's too "square"... (can't really tell in the first picture though, it's much worse in real...)

2. studded hoody
brand: puffy
size: one size
material: cotton
price: 6usd
color: gray

i just ordered this, because it's soo cheap... and a hoody is always a nice casual item to have... great for layering in the winter... i'm glad it fits well... and the studs are pretty cute, though i'm not a big fan of gold...

what came in as a surprise, is the heart "pattern" or whatever i should call that... i didn't really see that on the pictures... but it doesn't really bother me... ^^ it's still a very nice hoody for 6/7usd...

3. inset ear accent hooded scarf
brand: d.p-shop
size: one size
material: cotton poly mix
price: 27usd
color: black

last but not least... a scoodie... with ears... it's so cute... i actually ordered it, because i really wanted the spirit hood... but was still hesitating about it, because it's so expensive... and i thought this would look really cute with my black all stars ^^ can't wait to wear it out!!

the material is really soft... and i like the ends of the scarf, where i can put my hands in to warm up ^^ i do have to say, the fit of the hood isn't made that well... i don't think it would stay on very long, with the wind we have here... 

this scoodie actually made me order the spirit hood i wanted -_- i ordered a blue/gray wolf spirit hood from ebay... i'm just hoping that i will like the spirit hood as much as i like the scoodie i got from yesstyle... and hope it's actually worth the price... the chi iron and the bag have to wait till my next pay... -_-

legend by petrol

look what came in today... yes... this is the proof that i couldn't hold myself for spending money... and i probably won't be able to stop till the end of this month... (i think)... the sales just started... and i have a shopping date this saturday XD

anyways... look at the package, it's wrapped so nicely, just like a christmas present...

so i went on hipperz.nl and i saw this awesome leather bag... it's not that big, but also not too small... it looks sturdy enough for me... it's a tote bag, that closes with a zipper... if you wear it with the long strap, the bag will fall folded, which i like sooo much... ^^

they sell it for 10 euro cheaper at mooieriemen.nl, but i ordered at hipperz anyways, because i wanted to pay with paypal... (i love the grey one too -_-)

the shop is ok... there was one thing that i find weird... after you pay with paypal, you will automatically return to the shop... of all the times i have experienced with other shops... you'll end up on a thank you/payment successful screen... instead... i got an error screen... but i'm glad it's just a "cosmetic" error of the check out process... because i've received an email after, confirming my order and payment...

happy sale/december/christmas shopping ^^
