One week ago, Primark Ghent opened its doors, and I must admit, I'm happy to see that the Irish chain is finally in my former student city as well. Yes, I'm aware of all the negative comments the store gets, but I'm sure every chain is about the same, and Zara, beloved by every fashion girl (except for me as I don't fit into the brand made for petite girls), is worse, if I can believe all the horror stories. Overall, I've always been happy with my Primark purchases in the past. And living in London made me a bigger fan, as there's more Primark stores in that one city than in the entirety of Belgium.

If you know Nice, you know the Negresco - the famous five star hotel on the Promenade des Anglais. Tourists are no longer allowed in (I saw an American tourist couple being kindly shooed away), but my guy and I got in as we knew there was an Art Deco exposition organised in the hotel for only three days. As this was just when we where there, this was the perfect opportunity to discover this beautiful hotel from the inside. 

When the lovely Rebecca over at Zaful contacted me and asked whether I was interested in doing an honest product review, I was thrilled. Because you guys, go over there and browse their website: it's full of very cute looks at really afforable prices, and I love the minimalist lay-out of the webshop. 

I decided upon this amazing set, and couldn't wait for it to arrive. Customer service was great; the delivery fairly quick, and I had to sign for the parcel, which always feels safe to me. But when I opened up my parcel, I was quickly deceived, as in my eyes, it didn't look at all like the item I ordered. I decided to be honest with the Zaful team, and told them about my problem, and they were very kind and appreciative about my comment. They told me they would talk about this with their supplier, and thanked me for my honesty and this makes me appreciate the webshop even more. Because I got this for free, I didn't ask for a return, but left it in my closet for some time, thinking about what to do. 

But this week, when going through my clothes, I decided to put it on anyway, and goodness, how I liked this style! I have to warn you, it's quite see-through, but with nude coloured underwear it's perfectly possible. I put on my beloved holographic heels, threw in a satchel, and bam, outfit complete! In the end I'm still a bit deceived about the online / in real life comparison, but overall I love the shape of this outfit, and the customer service over at Zaful was impeccable. 

I think I will pair the skirt with another white crop top, as this top is quite revealing, and the bra pads are too visible to my liking, but in general I think this is a really cute summer look that compliments you very well if you have a tan. Throw in a pair of heels and a coloured bag, and you're all summerproof! 

What do you think about this look? Like/dislike? Make sure to go over at Zaful.com to check out their collection, I'm sure you'll find many things to your liking, and their sales are great! The set I got is even cheaper then when I ordered it a few weeks ago, so for about $12 you'll have a great skirt that's nice and flowy and perfect for the summer, and you can always pair it with another top if you don't like the one that goes with it.

These photos were taken quite some time ago, during the month of June in beautiful seaside city Brighton, just under an hour by train from London. You can get there from London Victoria very quickly and for only £10 return if you book in advance. So if you're visiting the UK's capital and you have a day to spare, Brighton with its famous pier is definitely a must-go!

My Brighton Top 5: 

1. There's this little kiosque on the promenade where you can win Minions related toys & plush only. It was meant to be for me, as I'm cray cray obsessed with the little yellow cuties. Me and my guy won a small unicorn (and yes, it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!), and I defenitely recommend taking a chance on this kiosque! Look for a lot of yellow, and a small little kiosque on the beach and you'll be bound to find it.
2. London's famous Meat Liquor is also to be found in Brighton. Yay for amazing burgers!
3. The Royal Pavillion is defenitely the coolest building of Brighton. It's an exotic royal palace, built for King George IV, and is defenitly worth a visit!
4. What's a trip to the beach without fish & chips? Place to be: The Regency, with an excellent sea-view.
5. And of course: the famous Brighton Pier. You're bound to have a lot of fun at the arcade, try out a few of the attractions, and have some churros or cotton candy while you're at it.

When cleaning up my wardrobe this week, I re-discovered this pink Zara dress I bought in France two years ago. I hesitated between donating it to charity or giving it another chance, and went for the second option. (Also, my sister and I gave three big bags full of clothes to charity, so no judging about me keeping this one for myself).

When the constand downpour stopped here in rainy Belgium, and temperatures rose above 20° again, I decided to go pink once again (I'm not being very original here, am I?) and wear my Chanel-style Zara dress, styled with my pearly pair of Nike Air Force (with bright pink socks in them, of course) and all-pink make-up. Sometimes I feel like a 9 year old girl, but oh well, at least I'm enjoying it.

On a side note: the title of this post comes from the old Lacoste advertisements for their 'A Touch of Pink' perfumes, of which I made an 'amazing' compilation for you guys :D
