Giant blogger closet sale »



If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably already seen some of these. When I went to Barcelona a little while ago I brought two disposable cameras. I had forgotten how much fun it is too shoot with them! I'm going back to Barcelona in a few days and I was just wondering if you guys had some more tips for me. I've been there many times before and some of you have sent me some great tips already, but more is always welcome cause I'm gonna have quite a bit of alone time this time around.


If you've been reading my blog for a while, you might know I've been traveling quite a lot, especially my monthly visits to Sweden before Daniel moved here. If you're flying budget airlines and you're a cheapskate like me, you'll be traveling with only hand luggage. Everything has to fit into one 56 cm x 45 cm x 25 cm suitcase and it can't weigh more than 10 kilos, and of course you need to save some space in your bag in case you do some shopping. Which, in my case, is likely.

I don't want to brag (just kidding, I totally do), but in those years I've become quite a pro at traveling light. I just wanted to show you how I pick my items so I don't have to wear the same every day. I won't pay any attention to essentials like undies and a toothbrush, 'cause hopefully I don't have to tell you to bring those. Over Christmas I went to Sweden for two weeks and here's what I brought:



Look, I got this adorable dress from Olive! Long sleeved dresses are pretty much my favorite thing in the world. I also had to take another picture with my new bass, cause it's so pretty. I promise I don't just use it as a cool and shiny fashion accessory Satin Prom Dresses, I play it too.



On the 2nd of February I'm selling a whole lot of clothes together with some of Holland's top bloggers and my lovely colleagues at NSMBL magazine. My home is always such a mess because I'm a terrible clothes-hoarder and I don't even know where to put my all my stuff anymore. Good reason to think about what I really want to keep and what I don't.

Yesterday I started selecting and this is only like half of the stuff that I'm getting rid of. If you can't make it to the sale but if you've seen something on my blog that you really really want to buy from me, send me an email (laura[at]theworldlooksred.com) and make me an offer. I have a few favorite items that I really want to keep, but a lot of stuff has to go! Check out the flyer below for more info about the sale.

The Wedding of a Disney-Loving Couple

Disney is fun for many people and for a variety of reasons, it is popular mostly among the youthful, for youngsters as well as little kids, the American animation production company could very well be a clear all-time favorite for all children around the world. All the cutest and highly famous cartoons such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the rest are pretty much some of the most-quoted, and best remembered characters in the animations. They surely feature a lot of great characters that people enjoy and they are very decent, but what if these characters comes afloat in reality and jolts reality and its people into a great surprise? People would hardly ever be expecting Prince Eric to come afloat and to be knocking at their doors with a surprise, but this was the case for Christopher Chandler and his beautiful partner, the highly admired actress Jamie Chandler. Please do note that both Christopher and Jamie were both in their late twenties, and from this you could easily tell that Disney characters and stories are not simply celebrated merely by children or those that we deem as kids, grown-ups can too!
For a good starter, both of these people had folded their wedding all over the themes of Disney, namely the story of The Little Mermaid Ariel. The handsome groom Christopher Chandler, aged 28, though a mature man, was dressed up as a prince who is also known as Prince Eric in the series. He was indeed one cool-looking guy and Christopher Chandler had just gotten into his shoes to go close to his looks. As for the part of the bride, she was dressed up as Ariel, with the entirety of her looks trimmed to look like the cute little mermaid in the animation. As interesting as it could get, they got real with things to go in line with the animation, and their wedding was a success.
Their outfits and outlooks were very simply accorded to those of the animation. Prince Eric, or also, Christopher Chandler was adorned with a sleek prince-like adornment, a truly royal suit with a pure white hue, and subtle designs on the collar, which was blue. Every component of the adornment just made him look much more like a prince and even glorious on that day. As for the part of the bride, Ariel, or also, Jamie Chandler, was adorned in a clean white wedding dress, with a blazing red hairdo. Her hair was dyed in pure red, to look exactly like the hair of the real mermaid Ariel in the animation, and she had some pins and sophisticated accessories pinned right into her glamorous hair, this made her even more of a princess for the day.

Also, the guests all lined up in a Disney fashion Lace Prom Dress as well, to be in support of the newlyweds. Their friends had gotten into wacky outfits from pirate outfits to fairy outfits, all things coincided with the event, and the entire occasion turned out to be one smooth and interesting wedding ceremony in which everyone were enchanted by a ‘Disney magic’.
