NEXT DESTINATION: STOCKHOLM!

Good morning this sunny morning! I have some really exciting news! Very soon I'll be on a trip to the capital city of Sweden. Yes indeed, Stockholm it is! I've never been to a Scandinavian country before, but I've been wanting to go so badly! One day I'll fill my suitcases full with warm clothes, get on the plane and land somewhere in the northern parts of Scandinavia (Kiruna or so) to watch the northern-lights, to feel the real cold on my skin while being pulled on a sled by Huskies, and to end the day in a hot sauna after I jumped into the icy cold waters. Oh boy, those are dreams that hopefully will be fulfilled in the future. Anyways, a trip to Stockholm is already booked and I can't wait since it's on top of my European citytrip wish list! There're so many places I'd love to visit.. from NY to Sydney, from Dubai to Buenos Aires, from Bora Bora to Kiruna, from any other place in the world to you name it. The list just goes on, and on, and on.

But first, Stockholm! I've started to make a day-to-day program a couple of weeks ago, so in general I know what I want to visit, such as the old town Gamla Stan and all the city's sightseeing. But I'm sure the city has a lot more to offer and could use your help to discover that! Have you ever been to Stockholm? What are the must-sees and what is something I definitely can't miss? And what are the best places to eat? Let me know in the comment box down below. :)

MAXI CARDIGAN & STAN SMITH

Friday, how did we get here so quickly? Can't believe it's almost weekend already - for most people at least, as I work on weekends as well. It was such a sunny week here in Holland! I know I talk about the weather quite often, but I just can't help it that I'm feeling much better when the sun shines.. and I so needed that! The first signs of Spring are here, so you can imagine that I sat outside in the sun almost all day haha. I hope this weather continues, because I'm so over the cold, rainy days. 

As of late, I catch myself choosing a different style when it comes to my outfit choices. Still simple, but sometimes a little more sporty. How come? Well, as I said before, I wasn't really a big sneaker fan, but recently I've been having my eye on them. Last week Mr. Postman delivered these white Stan Smith sneakers. I was a bit concerned about the size, but they fitted perfectly. I'm so happy I ordered these! And as you can see, long cardigans and Spring coats are the replacements for my winter jackets.. I actually like the combo of the maxi cardigan with the sneakers. What do you think? 

Hope you have a sunny weekend!

IT'S ALL ABOUT EYEBROWS

Eyebrows are features that can make or break your face. I mean, type 'celebs without eyebrows' into Google and you get funny results. No one wants a broken face, so it's important to get those brows in shape. I used to have problem brows, I didn't have that much hair and I kept them thin. Until last year when I decided to stop plucking and let my eyebrows grow. Thank Lord I was on time! If you keep plucking your brows, the hair starts thinking 'oh you keep plucking me? I'll stay away next time then.' So stop plucking so much peeps! Anyways, compared to what I had, my brows look fuller, thicker and - more importantly - much more in shape nowadays. Every 3-4 weeks I dye my brows, so that when I'm going au natural, my face looks more defined. Still, I don't have those killing Keira Knightley and Emma Watson eyebrows, but I might have found a product that makes my eyebrows make my face. 

Back in high school I started using eyebrow products and ever since then I've tried various brow pencils by Chanel or Dior. Last year, however, I totally got hooked on Anastasia Beverly Hills' eyebrow products. Their selection is amazing and the different shades are beautiful. I've been using the brow powder in the color Chocolate and I honestly can't live without it as they make my eyebrows look fuller in a very natural way. The powder is very easy to work with and it stays on almost all day - as long as you don't rub your face at least haha. So I guess I could say no other eyebrow products for me! Have you tried any Anastasia's products already?

WEDNESDAY THOUGHTS

Good morning everyone! I'm truly sorry for the silence on the blog lately. Even though I can find time to write and take pictures, I honestly haven't managed to post them on my blog. One of the reasons is that I'm sort of stuck as I'm doubting and feeling insecure about my current blog situation. Therefore, I've been thinking about if I should change my blog name or not. In my opinion 'Simply Chic' is not strong enough and I'm still not satisfied with the current situation. This leads to the fact that I find it hard to keep my blog updated. I still feel a little uncomfortable sharing my posts with others, even though I really, really, really want to! I want to put much more effort in my blog and the only way I can do so is when I support my own blog for the fully 100%. Though, the advantage of Simply Chic is that my readers know me by this blog name and it's a bit stressful to switch the things around (I'm also considering switching to WordPress). Still, I think my blog would do better if I change. Brainstorming sessions have been going on for many days, but I haven't come up with 'the one and only blog name'.

What would my new blog name be? Should I play with my personal name or should I go for something completely different? I would love to hear from you guys. So, feel free to leave a comment down below. You would really help me out here, because I'm stuck! Have a lovely Wednesday! :)
