BACK TO SCHOOL - URBAN OUTFITTERS

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably would have noticed by now that I have become hat-obsessed more so than ever. I've just started my master's course and I am pretty sure my classmates have yet to see me without one. And now, a beautiful burgundy felt hat has been added to the growing collection. The weather has been up and down in Leuven but on this day, it was thankfully a perfect and sunny autumn day. I decided to wear my lace hem shorts over tights along with this white ribbed turtle neck sweater from Urban Outfitters which is SO soft and cosy and perfect for those kind of days where it's a little bit breezy.

With sitting out on the terrace of a bar being such a big thing in Belgium, turtle necks are a great alternative to having to lug around a huge chunky scarf. What are your autumn staples? Are there any colours that you have been absolutely loving?

OUTFIT: FOREVER 21 X NEW LOOK

The day of the Blogger_LU meet up, at Cathy Goedert, two and a half weeks ago was a such a beautiful day that warranted for a breezy outfit. I bought this Forever 21 playsuit at the Dubai Mall - the same time I found this gorgeous hat! I was definitely um-ing and -ah-ing over it but in the end, the button on the front which prevents an all embarassing slip from happening convinced me to parrade to the tills and make a purchase. I love it when clothes have nifty little designs like that. I have come across a few tops in Japan that have clippable straps inside the T-shirt to prevent bra straps from uncomfortably rolling down your shoulder - how have we not seen more of those?!

I decided to wear the plasuit with a long New Look blazer for a little more of a Saturday day-time modesty as the playsuit is also backless along with my trusty H&M heeled boots which I have had for what feels like ages. It must be around two years or so! I love how easy it is to incorporate typically A/W shoes with more summer-y outfits.

As for my nails in the last photo... My friend has now really got me into having my nails done! I've already been back a second time to the same place and I will definitely be going again just before my graduation and heading off to Japan for 4 weeks. Expect a post and my thoughts about the place then!

BLACK FOREVER21 HAT

Hello friends!

Kaori here and I have a couple of new purchases to show you. When I was in Dubai, I of course had to check out the mahoosive Dubai Mall. There were so many stores that I can go to here in Guildford and Luxembourg but I don't always go to London and so I decided that a couple of things from F21 wouldn't hurt. I first bought a pair of watermelon socks which I posted about on Instagram here but I went back to get this hat and gorgeous lace top. I can definitely see myself wearing these two pieces regularly throughout the summer. I'd usually shy away from hats like this for the summer but I think that the gold chain pulls the look towards a more S/S vibe. I was a little worried about bring back it back through long haul travel but I simply rested the hat on my lap for the short flight from Dubai to Qatar and then in a fairly empty overhead locker for the flight from Qatar to Brussels. What kind of summer staples will you be adding to your wardrobe? I've been trying to find my white shorts which I bought ages ago but I just can't seem to find them anywhere!
