TMI TAG - Inspirational Monday #2

Hi My Land Browsers...

Ready for another Inspirational Monday??? I've been trying a lot to stick to my schedule & new sections and I'm trying to post as often as possible, so be good to me...please ;) 
I've really been trying to make this blog look better and be more fun and interesting. And because it would be nothing without you, please do leave suggestions and comments so I can really focus it, on what interests you best.

So, lately there's really been a trend on YouTube and Blogs, the TMI (Too Much Information) TAG and "Maryanne's Land" couldn't be any different. So if you like these kind of TAGs prepare yourself for another long one and if you don't really care all that much about my information, just look at the questions and do the TAG yourself ;p

Hope you like it ;)

If you do have a first date, just remember to be yourself and don't be nervous....just imagine how the guy is feeling! The most important thing is to be natural and enjoy your time...so good luck and maybe the night will end with a kiss! MUAH!

Hope you like my ideas ;)

     1. Peplum top from Vero Moda; 2. Leather pants from Vero Moda; 
3. Necklace from Stradivarius; 4. Bag from Blanco; 5. Open boots from Stradivarius; 
    6. Jacket from Vero Moda; 7. Dress from Vero Monda; 8. Bag from Blanco;

PICNIC UNDER THE STARS

    4. Bag from Stradivarius; 5. iPhone case from Stradivarius; 6. Necklace from Bershka;

DAY AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK
can a rush of adrenaline compare to the rush of holding hands or a stolen kiss ;*
    1. Jacket from Stradivarius; 2. Jumper from Blanco; 3. Jeans from Romwe;
    4. Flatforms from Stradivarius; 5. Backpack from Bershka; 
    6. Pack of bracelets from Stradivarius & 7. iPhone case from Stradivarius.


These are just some ideas, so if you don't have these shops (ZARA, Stradivarius, Blanco, Bershka, Vero Moda & Romwe) where you live, just go to your favorite store and look for something similar. These are just some pointers and things I personally would love to wear to the dates I mentioned. Above all don't forget to stay comfortable, after all it is a date and you don't want your top falling & showing more then needed in public. And don't forget to dress accordingly to the dates theme, so if you're going to the park try not to wear hells or don't go too formal if you know you're going out with a simple guy. SIMPLY BE NATURAL XD

And that's a wrap...;)

XOXO
