November 2015 essentials
My personal TOP 10 must go / wear / have / do's of the month.
Autumn is definitely made for cozy warm clothes and coffee. I added other stuff I fell for during the last days.. Let me inspire you! Any other spot or thing I missed? Let me know below <3. The addresses I mention here are from Brussels, next article will be more Luxembourgish. I currently enjoy my last months of studies in Brussels so I go to my favourite places all the time...
My Be Pop. A new liiiitle concept store on the Rollebeek street in Brussels. I saw it and thought OMG, I need to write a November essentials article. This is exactly the kind of stuff I like to discover. Homemade popcorn served by a lovely madame in a cute cone (or box). I tried the salted caramel butter popcorn... love love love.

Red. I'm in love with everything red this Autmun. I tried my first permanent nail polish (not that happy, anyone has a good address for that shit in Luxembourg or Brussels???) But back to my crush - the Estée Lauder 340 lipstick. Must-have for matte, deep red lips. There was this Sephora private selling day with 25% on the whole shop.. you understand! So here I also finally bought the new Naked palette - Smoky (amazing stuff) and the Too Faced mini beauty kit, the NARS bloody red nailpolish and a eyebrow brush by Urban Decay. Yes, I bought two the Naked palettes because one for me, one for my twin for Christmas, but too late, I couldn't resist and already reached her my November-twin-present.

Jat' Café on the Rue de Namur street close to the Royal Palace of Brussels. A big space for students, business men, lovers, singles... to enjoy great coffee and the BEST cupakes ever. You should take the vanilla one or with peanut butter, they're the best. My combi: ice coffee or chai frappé + cupcake. Then sitting down for hours or after some shopping at the & Other Stories (if you contiunue the street towards the Toison D'Or street where is also located the huge Zara and Apple store).
♥
So after a coffee break at Jat', I continue my happy moment in this area of the Toison d'Or. Here, my favourite shop of the moment - & Other Stories. Precisely in this shop I fell for the wool plaid scarf, their funny packaged cosmetics (lovely little gift for a girl) and the cashmere camel pullover. Above: Pulli // Below: Scarf <3.
♥
Pumpkins. Very Important for me. Eeating soup made of them, craving, exposing, watching. Muhaha I love Halloween so mine lasts for a month or more. :D
♥
Pochette de Janette - November edition. Products to care about your skin on cold days.. Get yours here. It's always a pleasure to unpack a surprise isn't it? Favourite item of this edition: the discret armcandy by Artistic Bracelet.
♥
Yuka Espresso Bar. My must go to enjoy two hobbies: hot chocolate and blog. Basta. And tea. And cake. and coffe. Oh and it's located on the boulevard Anspach in Bxl. The barista is very polite, you feel at home when passing by.
♥
It may get cold outside but for short trips for a house chillax party or girls coffee break - my must wear: The ripped April 77 jeans (with a plectrum hidden in a pocket!!) and the mint Gazelle Adidasies. I love to combine the look with my mint Marc Jacobs bag and the scarf mentioned above.
♥
Restons Zen. A café, lunch room on the boulevard Anspach in Brussels as well. For me a Moroccan hipster place and I love it. I come for lunch, for cake but especially for the traditionally served Moroccan mint tea.
♥
Last but not least - WOODS! Nature, the LAST leaves of the year! I love to collect leaves that in one or another way please me and I often ask myself why I took one leaf and not another.. Enjoy the last colours of 2015 before letting Winter swallow all this prettiness! My must-do.
