Diptique


I love the Diptique candles and specially Baies.
I bought the candle when I was only 17 and saved a year of allowance. And I never stopt buying the candle.
After a few years I wondered if there was a perfume version of the candle and yes there was: L'ombre dans l'eau I was so happy my favorite scent in a bottle.
Thank God I first got a sample. Although I really like the smell, Its to strong for me and after a whole day of wearing I end up with a headache.
To bad, a little less strong and I think it could be my favorite perfume

So friday me and my mum went to Amsterdam for the day.
And I went to Skins Cosmetics in the runstraat (a part of the 9 streets in the Jordaan)
They are the official retailers of Diptique and I wanted a unique perfume.
So after browsing the perfumes I found it. Heaven in a bottle.

Philosykos
This is very green at first, it smells like freshly mown grass and wet earth before the creamy coconutty fig takes over.
I was surprised since I usually tend to like really sweet and warm parfumes.
First I though it was really expensive (30 ml for 60 euro) but then I though chanel allure cost almost as much and everyone wears that.

Vanssss

Remember when I said I never gonna buy shoes again?
Yep well does an addict never gonna use drugs?
No.

I can say no I'm not gonna buy shoes for a long time.
I spend crazy money on fab shoes, stilletto and more but the thing I was longing for a year and a half are vans.
I spend a lifetime on Vans and 2 years ago I threw my last pair away cause they had holes in the sole and I decided that I wanted to be more classy so ergo the high heels but the longing for comfy Vans stayed.
Although I didn't have any money and I bought 3 high heels this month I decided I just going to buy them.
I walked by Epic this urban sneaker store in Breda and saw my colleage in there so I hopped in and there they were.
The most wonderful Vans ever ERA brown with leather and textile.

They costed 70 euro's yikes but they are beautiful.

Jimmy Choo for H&M

Today it is saturday and I woke up at 6:45 am.
Why would I wake up that early when on a saturday I never wake up earlier than 11 am.

Because today H&M launch its Jimmy Choo collection.
I arived at 8:45 and there was a long que and the blue wristbands they were giving to the first 160 people were already gone. People were queuing from 7 am.
My friend and I said no way were standing in that que and we had a lovely breakfast at Dudok.
After that we went to some shops and around 1pm we thought lets have a peak at H&M.
It was not busy at all we thought untill we came at the shoes and accesoires section.

What we saw was absolute mayhem.
Boxes and paper everywhere and a lot of people.
I managed to get 2 shoes (below)
and wow the high heels are actually very comfy.

UGG

So I always was the one that said ughh those ugg boots put the ugg in uggly and I said I never ever would wear them!
Then I moved to Boston MA where it was -10 degrees at the time (at least it felt so)
My friend who also was there said I'm gonna buy Ugg boots cause there super warm plus cheap ass with the currency at the time. So I tagged along and tried a pair and thought WOW they are super warm and comfy and I bought them.
Not because I thought they where pretty but I didn't wanted to freeze my feet off.
They became my best friend that winter.

No I'm back in the Neths and still ugg boots are in style and cost a ridiculus amount of money but I start to really like them.
Now I'm doubting to buy these:

They cost €200,-
Does this make me a hypocrete?
