Chocolat

Who doesn't love chocolate? Certainly not me and today's location is a chocolatier. I decide to go for a sweet look with milk chocolate-colored (sorta) clutch. Quite fitting for today's location, no?

물 프리트

Léon de Bruxelles is in fact the name of that chain of restaurants in France and in the UK. In Brussels, it is known as "Chez Léon". I might have created a look that is a bit overdressed for the place, but I couldn't help myself when I heard the speciality of the house were mussels... with french fries. I suppose my brain stopped at "mussels" and it resulted with that elegant look. Oh well, better be overdressed than underdressed.

Mardi, c'est la Belgique

Today's location is a belgian city, but I have to admit that I created the outfit based on the pair of leather shorts. I wanted to try and create an outfit using leather shorts and I think it doesn't look bad at all, even if not super colorful. I especially like the detail of the ankle boots.

Österreich

I decided to go for a sweet look for the capital of Austria, which seems to be quite a beautiful and amazing city. The collar is there to add a little sparkle to the dress and the jacket is in case it gets chilly. Don't worry, I don't think Europe is in general chilly, but when I went to Europe this summer, it wasn't the warmest. I suppose I'm unconsciously affected by that.

Kalt

As you can easily imagine, today's location inspired me to create a winter look. Just look at the picture at the top with an enormous quantity of snow. Gives me shivers just to see it. Even if these two towns are skiing location I did not create a skiing look. So I went for a fur coat (For PETA fans, vegans, vegetarians and anyone else who might be concerned: Get over it and go for fake fur and let others make their own choices) because it keeps you very warm. The boots are their for practicality as I do not recommend high-heeled boots where there is snow. One might slip and fall... and potentially break something. Looking fashionable is important, but not at the expense of one's health. 

So I also added tights and a hat to keep yourself warm. The dress is there to add a splash of color when you open up your coat when you are inside. I chose that handbag because it was dark and went with the rest of the outfit, but also because the colourful detail added another hint of colour to the outfit.

I decided to create a sweet look for this old town. I added a darker colored handbag for some contrast and sparkly for, well, sparkles.

Bregenzer Festspiele

I went for a simple elegant look for this austrian festival famous for it's floating scene on the Bodensee, seen in both pictures. Even if the festival is in summer, I added a blazer because most shows are probably in the evening and it's always more chilly near a large body of water. The metallic shoes are to go with the season, as I felt black shoes would look too heavy for the summer season.
