Invite to my personal life - HerPhoenix on instagram

Since my bloglife ended up in a coma, I want to invite you to my -virtual- personal life. I am obsessed with taking picture and I bet that my friends on facebook went crazy from all those posts. That's why I started to use instagram! ( it took a long time before I was finally convinced haha)
I post daily pictures of my outfit, quotes or other things that caught my eyes. You can find me @ herphoenix. I will come back and bring my biggest love -this blog- back to life. It just takes some time. Love you all. xxx

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. Now is the time for guts.

It's fall... I still have to cope with the fact that I cannot walk around with bare legs any more. My daily looks consists out of leggings, boots and vintage blouses. I'm not looking forward to cold and snow. I hate the fact so much that I cannot post more frequently on my blog. I'm trying my best to come with a solution so I can provide more pictures on a regular basis. Besides the fact that I don't have a official photographer... yet... (lets think positive), the weather is terrible most of the time. I get home every day from my intern ship when it's almost dark... so only the weekend is left to make pictures. But today I could finally make some photos. I'm wearing my new boots!! (love them) with a vintage blouse and some gold jewellery. A simple outfit for a casual weekend. My bf could convince me to make pictures on a totally different location then normally. Have to try something new. I tend to stick with safe options haha.

Be the sort of person that when people see you wearing army pants and flip-flops, they go buy army pants and flip-flops

I truly dislike people who use the phrases: 'white pants are so NOT this season'. Or even worse: 'You should throw away this or that because it's soo not fashionable at this moment'. Every year, season, phase, moment, people are asking themselves or others: 'what is the trend now, what should I buy&wear!?'. Every magazine is full with the new 'HOT items' and the 'YOU SHOULD WEAR THIS AND NOTHING ELSE' screaming titels with pretty pictures that force you to spend hundreds of euros because THEY say it's fashion right now. Of course they tell you to throw away half of your closet and of course they come with new fashion trends every few months because else you wouldn't spend money. But I believe you should flip this process around.. You should not let people tell you what to wear... You should wear your own style with so much confidence and comfort that people want to have your mojo. A lot of times when I go shopping the people I'm with say: noo that item is horrible. I always response with: I'm going to buy it and I know you will love it! And almost every time in the end when I wear it they say: 'well I would never wear it but you can pull it off'. I truly believe that when you have the confidence you can wear EVERYTHING. You can make the weirdest fashion combination and still look awesome.

LOOK: Wearing this amazing brand MINKPINK. Wearing it with dr. Martens -> Since my intern ship I've been wearing only these on a daily basis and my heels are standing sad in my closet,

Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about.

Thought of today: Real love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Real love never fails. But love is terrifying.. It makes you vulnerable, emotional and even crazy&paranoid at some point. It makes you question&doubt yourself in bad times but it also helps you learn and grow. In this love challenge it sometimes feels like you'd be better of without the other person that brings out multiple emotional roller-coasters. But you should not give up on someone you think loveable thoughts about every day. You should not give up on someone who gives you butterflies and the warm, safe & comfortable feeling while being together. We should all accept and adore the insane, weird, and unique persons we love without the need to change all the bad habits. If your bf or gf can make you feel happy, special and loved at good times.. it's absolutely worth it to fight through the bad times.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions

It's weekend!!! I'm going to enjoy these 2 free days as much possible. The weather here in Holland is going to be amazing... this means -> beach!!! Probably the last beach day of the year, dammit.. I will make new pictures in this great weather of course. I wanted to share the photos of today much sooner but I lost the pictures... yeh you read it correctly. I accidentally deleted them a week ago haha. But as you can see, I found them!! I'm wearing a vintage blouse with vintage levi shorts.
I hope you will all have an amazing weekend<3
