A day at the ZOO part 1 || Antwerp trip

2 weeks ago seems a long time ago. From that week on, it was the only chance to enjoy the freedom we had for a week and a half. And you can probably guess how I’ve spend them. Most of the

A day at Antwerp || Winter sale haul

Happy chinese new year everyone!

After a busy week with schoolwork and saying goodbye to DGF (well not fully goodbye.. I have to visit them somewhere this week too). I had finally a day off on a friday! So we thought let’s go to Antwerp! Since it’s only 8euros in total for us to go to Antwerp from Amsterdam and back. We didn’t had that much of time because I had a family dinner with my mother and my two sisters. Can you guess where we went? Yes, at the restaurant where I work.:) I like the food there and my mom only went there for once. So I thought why not celebrate Chinese new year this year there. It takes about 2hours from here to Antwerp. But on the way back it felt much longer than 2hours..  We just walked around a bit and found China town! I know it’s just right next to the station, but the last time when I was there I didn’t see it. We were there somewhere around half past 11, there wasn’t that much open and I just wanted to see how the chinatown there looks like.. And then I found 2 stores with asian fashion and cosmetics. There were 2, one was only girls/woman’s clothing and korean/japanese cosmetics and the other was with men’s clothing with a bit for girls/woman’s. I really liked the 2 stores, because we don’t really have them here only online.. And you can find some good korean/japanese cosmetics there! Another reason to go back there!

And ofcourse, how can we forgot dim sum? I don’t remember the name of this restaurant, but it was an okay/good restaurant. The only thing is, the staff are a bit weird.. and unfriendly-ishh? The main reason why I wanted to go to Antwerp was, just to go shopping. Surprise, surprise! The sales (or should I say solden?) got me very well!

Here I’ll start with just a few snaps and then the haul starts.

It’s the sweetest first time Dimsun!

It looks so cute and fluffy! Just had to take a snap of it..

A little shopping centre? I found this when I went to the Urban Outfitters.

It’s HAUL TIME!

Sorry that I have 2 different set ups for this haul and bad lighting. I just don’t like the way how it looks like when I hang the trousers, it doesn’t look that appealing that way.. And for the other items, I don’t like the way they look when it’s not hanging. (sorry I kinda forgot what I meant..) But anyways, I really love all the items i’ve got from the sales! Even the kids collection. I’ve been eying on the baseball jacket for a few months now and finally got it. And I’m so glad that I’m small, because you’ll think that the kids collections are childish looking. But that’s not with the zara kids! Most items from  them are just mini versions of the sara collection for us! And everything fits perfectly fine on me.^^ I got the kids collection at Antwerp and the next day I’ve got the TRF and Woman collection here in Amsterdam.

Surprisingly the grey jumper from Hyper store, is really thick and warm. I didn’t expect that from asian clothing.. Most of them are pretty thin. I wore this immediately after Dim sum and it kept me really warm. It looks good with a collar shirt underneath, that day I worn a mint/pastel green thrifted collar shirt and it looked really nice. I can pair this easily with leggings, boots and I’m good to go!

And lastly, Urband Outfitters. They say, the best time to get something at UO is when there’s sale. Well, don’t  go when it starts but somewhere in the finale sale. These pair of shoes were from 50euros to 5euros! Can you believe that? They look so nice and pretty. Wished they had them in black too in my size, if there was I would get them both! I haven’t really worn it yet but most times when I wear flat shoes, I get blisters very quickly or it hurts when I put them on, I hope it won’t hurt.

Hope you enjoyed it and liked it! Stay tuned for upcoming OOTD’s and many more posts!
