Last week, I headed over to Designer Outlet Roermond for the first Christmas shopping of the season! I’m always terribly late when it comes to shopping for holidays and birthdays, not to mention indecisive. I always want the gifts I give my loved ones to be perfect, but in the end I don’t know what to choose. My problem is that I have expensive taste (for me as well as my loved ones) and I always think that if money were no issue, the whole process would be a whole lot faster and easier (well, duh).

Enter a wonderful invitation from Designer Outlet Roermond, solving all my first world problems. Because a) there is still a month until Christmas and b) it’s a perfect solution for my expensive taste (at reduced prices)! Plus I’d been wanting to go after some fellow bloggers reported on the amazing offers anyway (here, here and here).

So what’s the verdict you ask? Well, Roermond actually is all it’s cracked up to be! The reason for this is great names like Prada, MiuMiu, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Furla and many more. This means that, apart from finding amazing gift options for my mum like a buttery soft Prada wallet (I get that expensive taste from her) and Dolce loafers, Le Creuset pots for my dad and the one denim my boyfriend can’t live without (Diesel jeans), there were many options to buy a present for myself as well. You’ll see what I got for myself at the end of this post, but first thing’s first…

Here’s all the info you need about Designer Outlet Roermond : 

-Prices drop 30-70%.

– Sales start  December 6th 2014. Yup, even more price reductions!

– The outlet village is open 363 days a year. Nice to know for Belgians: Sundays as well! They are open every day from 10am til 8pm on weekdays and from 9am to 8pm in the weekends.

-The drive from Antwerp took us about an hour and 15 minutes.

-The outlet village is really close to the picturesque city center, we didn’t have time to discover the town, but we will next time.

 Blogger buddies Nathalie, Kim & Elien!

Sadly, there was no discount on James McAvoy.

So what did I get?

I actually had my heart set on a Mulberry Lily bag, but didn’t quite see one that would really fit my style. So, I went for a timeless Miu Miu tote bag. Black, with gold hardware and absolutely gorgeous.  Miu Miu Bag via Roermond Designer Outlet// Just In Case Coat via Lily and the Lady //Selected Femme scarf // Keds shoes // Acne denim
