LIFE // Happy newyear

happy newyear dearies. hope your new year's eve was as fantastic as mine was.

Paris was wonderful, thanks for all the kind wishes! photos are coming up soon soon soon

but for now.. I need some sleep.

OUTFIT // I know we're lost

ZARA floral dress, vintage velvet navy blazer, H&M belt, ZARA bag, random flats

Sia - Soon we'll be found.

life's been busy for the past few days. it's all about buying Christmas presents.. and earning money to be able to buy Christmas presents.
in these days, it feels good at times to just throw on comfortable items that you love to death... clothes without the drama of being too see-through (lace shoulder-padded tops), too tight (bodycon skirts) or too high (heels, heels, heels..) sometimes it feels good to just screw it all, and go with some nice florals and cute flats to indulge yourself in.. while spending your entire month wages on thousands of presents.

PS.

it's quite frustrating that my MP3-player doesn't work anymore. I really liked adding some music to every post! :< does anyone know how to solve this problem?

PPS.

I've got to show you something that REALLY MADE ME SO HAPPY today. image documentation coming up...

OUTFIT // It's getting cold on this island.

the snow's falling down while I'm writing this. I can see nothing but white from out of my window.



C&A batwing sweater, H&M panel skirt, Van Haren heels, SIX necklace, vintage bag.

now I'm looking for you, or anyone like you.

me and this song = complete obsession. check out the video, I really like how the images and the song come together.


H&M shirt, skirt (bought yesterday, big discount!), tights and necklace, ZARA wedges, bowler hat from France, GOSH & La Femme nail polish

I wanted to wear something a bit reminiscent of Debbie Harry. didn't really work out, therefore I just mashed it up with some floral print.
sometimes things really look good with each other while you wouldn't expect it. stripes and floral print are a good example of what I wouldn't think of as a perfect combination. but I felt really comfortable in this outfit, it worked for me. it's so refreshing to mix random items with each other at times. it takes a bit of imagination but the results are interesting.

look what I found at the post office today..



a package from Malaysia!

it contained the ring I won in the giveaway from Sher! it came with a really really cute post card!! thanks thanks thanks dear!! you all should check out her blog, she's such a sweet girl with her own style!

I think I'm going to wear my new ring to bed, it's too cute to take off. nighty nighty.

à l'occasion tu souris.

vintage MJ jacket, H&M cream top, Pieces jeggings, Van Haren studded booties

sometimes things pass you by in a second, while they should be the most important thing in life at that moment.

I don't really feel like I am going to become an official adult within 4 days.
I can't imagine myself driving a car in my first driving lesson (I think I'd hit someone within a minute) and I wouldn't have a clue who to vote on during elections (all those politicians are awful, I don't want either of them to rule my country.. why don't we have an Obama?). I am not planning on hiring spicy videos (and it's highly unlikely that I'll play in one either.. haha.) and I don't think I'll be at every 18+ party (since I already know what that feels like - no different from any other party.)

I think things won't really change. perhaps I'll vote on some of those stupid politicians, and I suspect my dad that he's going to give me some driving lessons for my birthday.. but I don't think I'll become an adult all of a sudden. I don't think I'll wake up on that Monday morning and realize that I've lost my childish characteristics. so it might be hard to deal with all the adult stuff while I don't feel like I want to grow up yet. but that's life I guess ;)

maybe I'll be lucky and won't hit anyone during my driving lessons. wish me luck!

can you see them rushing in, hate to think how long it's been.

H&M woolen trenchcoat, sweater, socks, branch necklace & oversized scarf, Bershka wetlook leggings, ZARA wedges & bag, random beanie, birdskull necklace is available soon

didn't notice up until now that I'm constantly looking down. haha. it's quite hard to walk the Dam in Amsterdam when you're on heels!

emotive unstable you're like an unwinding cable car.

emotive unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
so self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about

this is the correlation of salvation and love
(don't drop your arms)
don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
with quiet words I'll lead you in
