Milano, are u ready for us!?

It’s been a while since my last post, sorry guys… Had lots of other things on my mind and I neglected this little blog a bit. Won’t happen again (I hope)!

Tomorrow is a huge day when it comes to the million dollar question… My bestie & I are travelling to Milan tomorrow evening. And what are we planning to do in this beautiful Italian city over the next couple of days? Besides eating lots of gelato, pizza & other Italian delicacies of course… We’re going on a major D-day shoe hunt! If there’s one place in the world where we can succeed, it’s got to be Milan, right?

Hmmm, gelato!!

I’ll let you know after our little trip if the million dollar question category has come to a close! Wish us luck…

Cute, summery, sexy and budget friendly!

In the category: still have to decide which eye-candies will be the ones that allow me to walk the walk on D-day… The million dollar question!

I’m not sure if you guys noticed, but the gorgeous shoes I’ve posted in this category are all quite expensive. Because I can call myself a true D-day planner/expert by now, I should tell you a little secret. Planning such a mind-blowing, fabulous event as a D-day? It’s expensive as hell! Even though we’re not heading to the south of France with all of our guests. And even though we’re not using a beautiful, historical, breathtaking castle as a venue (although our venue is very beautiful & breathtaking as well!). And even though we’re not turning our D-day into our D-dayS, celebrating all the joy for 3 days in a row. Non of the above. We’re going for a very laidback, relaxed & fun D-day. But still, it’s not that budget friendly as I’ve hoped!

So, considering afore mentioned…. May be it’s a good idea to pick a budget friendly pair of shoes? I spotted these adorable wedges (I’m still thinking this might be the most appropriate kind of D-day shoe) in New Look’s web shop. They’re cute, summery and sexy! And did I mention cheap?

Yummy Karl!

The D-day to-do-list is getting shorter by the minute. Thank god, because I’m still looking for the best option in the million dollar question. And of course, I need all the focus I can get in such an important matter…

Narrowing down all the D-day decisions, Mister Chifff & I also had to consider what kind of delicious treats we will be serving. Wondering if it was hard to choose? YES, it was! There is so incredibly much tasty to choose from! Like these cute Karl cupcakes by Alice in Cakeland, aren’t they adorable!?

I never would have guessed that Mister Lagerfeld could look so yummy!

Sarah Jessica Parker loves them & so do I!

Although I’m one of the unfortunate lovers who hasn’t seen the new flick yet, I’m all in the Sex and the City mood! While waiting for cinemas to be a little less packed  (I really love empty seats next to me & hate being surrounded by people who are noisy, laughing when it’s not funny and eating popcorn like they’re Bugs Bunny), I found a good way to have some quality SATC time… Look for suitable SATC cuties to be my next ‘million dollar question’ possibility!

It wasn’t hard to find an adorable pair of heels. I fell for SJP’s favourite pair of shoes: the Nicholas Kirkwood suede platform sandals! Don’t you just love them?

This cutie got herself a new home!

After being on such a tight shopping budget for a while, it was definitely time for a reward. A little one of course, and a cheap one. Just to keep my hopes up. And to add some new flavor to my wardrobe!

The store that was very willing to help me find this little reward? American Apparel! It was hard to stay focused and not to wander off in the inspiring shop. But, I managed to only step towards the bright, colorful rack on the counter. Of course I had a difficult time to decide which beautiful treassure was about to get a new home. At the end I let ‘Eeny, meeny, miny, moe’ do the dirty work. Who came out winning!? The graceful, summery and very ice creamy Cone Island!

Too bad I had to leave Manila, Summer Peach & Malibu Green behind… Perhaps, in a week or two, it’s time for another little treat!?

How could I forget about wedges!?

In the category: still have to decide which eye-candies will be the ones that allow me to walk the walk on D-day… The million dollar question! (only 98 days left, yikes…)

While  browsing through Bloglovin’ yesterday, I noticed actress Michelle Williams wearing these amazing wedges by Stella McCartney. First thought which came to mind: in my quest for the very best D-day shoe I haven’t yet found one noteworthy pair of wedges… Until now!

Quite strange that my favourite type of shoe, the wedge, was missing in this million dollar question category. But, hey, nobody’s perfect. Considering the amount of time I’ll have to walk, stand and dance when D-day arrives I should definitely keep in mind that wedges are far easier to cope with than those sky-high heels I nominated before.

So, these Stella cuties entered my top 3 in a flash!

The Dutchies coudn't appreciate her...

It’s been almost a week and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that she’s out. The Dutchies are really unbelievable…

Yes, I’m an X-factor fan (either UK, Dutch or US, I like them all) and I’m proud to admit it. But I think I’m an even bigger fan of the prettiest contestant I’ve seen in ages. And not to mention the incredibly stunning voice she’s blessed with! But no, the Dutchies couldn’t appreciate Sumera’s talent. Or rather: most of them didn’t, a bunch were very supportive. After several weeks of amazing performances, she was voted off by the judges last week. I cried in silence. Ok, let’s be honest. I cried out loud.

Hopefully Sumera will be signed by a label in a heartbeat; I’ll be first in line to buy her record!

La-la-louboutin!

Since my favourite Dutch designer & I still have the fabric hunt for THE dress ahead of us, there isn’t a specific colour to keep in mind while searching for the most important pair of heels yet. Considering my neon pink nail polish, my panther sneakers and the cobalt blue glasses I wear on a daily basis, it’s clear that there’s absolutely no chance you’lle catch me wearing yawnful, dull- coloured shoes on D-day. That’s why I picked these adorable two-toned, strappy Louboutins to be next on my list in this vital quest of the perfect shoe.

Now I know who I'd love to see performing on D-day: ROX!

Last night the cutest British singer ROX performed in Amsterdam’s Paradiso and I was one of the lucky ones in the audience.

I just have to share some of her great songs with you guys. ROX is not only both very cute and ass kicking, she also has such an amazing voice! ROX sang her first two singles My baby left me and I don’t believe (you’re probably familiar with (one of) these songs) and also gave her own (reggae) spin to a Fleetwood Mac track before performing Seal’s Crazy like I’ve never heard before. ROX rocks! Her debut album will be released in the week of 9 June, so keep a close eye out for it.

Wonder if this lovely lady would like to sing on our D-day…

Donna Karan platform sweethearts!

In the category: still have to decide which eye-candies will be the ones that allow me to walk the walk on D-day… The million dollar question!

Tick tack, tick tack, tick tack. No, that’s not my heart racing like I just finished the New York marathon… It’s the beat of days just vanishing into thin air, before you know it D-day is here! And no, I still haven’t decided on THE shoes, not yet. But there has been a major relevant development; last week my bestie & I booked a trip to Milan. Our mission? DUH!

Meanwhile, I keep on searching and snooping around for inspirational sweethearts and today I stumbled upon these Donna Karan platforms. Love the colour, love the platform, love the fabric. But looking back at all the other options I found earlier, I see they are all peep-toed and pretty high-heeled. You’d think I’d already have some preferences…
