Paris (P)review

20 10 2010, my going away day to Paris, La citeé de L'amour. If you have been there, maybe you can share my thought that I fell in love with Paris. The city is beautifull and there's always something to do. It only wasn't much fun that there were strikes. But fortunately we had no problems!
The only problem is my less cash stocked bankaccount haha..

I didn't realize the jacket was green, until after 4/5 weeks someone told me I had a cute green jacket. Green? Well, I thought it was grey.. colorblindness is not so much fun as it looks :(

a little bit like marilyn monroe?

Soon I'll post more about my lovely trip, but it's very busy at school lately and there's even more coming up!

for the people who are in the same boat as me: Good luck!

Bisous,

Paris, je viens ici!

Paris, here I come!

Not having much time since here are the octoberfeesten and preparing for Paris, is this my last blog before I leave (in 11 hours). My suitcase is almost packed-yes, i'm fashionably late- and ready to go out tonight. We're going to 'Housetrippers' and it ends at 00.15 and I have to get up at 05.00.
But you don't hear me complain, I'm going to Paris!
I'll update later about my trip!
have a great holiday!

Bisous,

Putting to the test

Recently I bought the eyeshadow base from Hema, so here you can find my review: 

Every where I went I heard about the eyeshadow base. At first I was a little sceptical about it, but I was pleasantly surprised!
It's easy to apply, it doesn't smell chemical, it dries within seconds and it makes you're eyeshadow more intense.
My eyeshadow stayed perfectly in place for over 12 hours!
The only downside is the boring outside. But you can't have everything for only 3, 4 euro..

I hope you all had a great weekend!
xoxo

7 things in 7 days

As i'm in the middle of my week of tests, i'm running quite on time preparing for Paris. I borrowed a watch from my mother, so I guess it's a first i'm on time!
in 7 days i'm leaving my lovely, oh so beautiful city Sittard for Paris. But there is still a lot of work for me to do before I go, so here's my list:

7 things for Paris:

1. having enough cash on my bankaccount. (can you ever have enough money when you're going shopping?)
2. stock my (big) suitcase with all of my favourites from this season.
3. searching for all the things where you have to go when you're in Paris. I'm unfortunately not every week in Paris, so this is my chance! (have you ever been in Paris and have some places I need to see, help please?)
4. not wasting my money, befóre I go to paris. It's much more fun to do it there.
5. saying goodbye to my funny and adorable cat
6. tuesdaynight when I get home from 'housetrippers' at 02.00(?) and have to get up at 05.00, wash my hair! I don't (want to) go to Paris smelling like an ashtray.
7. dubble check everything, I'm not going to be at home for 5 days.

Since it's my first time in Paris, I hope you will help me with some places where I need to go?
I hope you can help me out!

bisous,
Ps. next year Forever21 is coming to the Netherlands! They are opening shops in Utrecht, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The opening is going to be thé place to be. Here you can look for the collection to see for yourself.

'The great thing about fashion, is that you can change your mind every season'

Some of the quotes I love:

The best and most beautiful
things in the world
cannot be seen or even
touched
they must be felt
with the heart
(Hellen Keller, 1880-1968)
---
''It's very important when you tell someone that you love them-
it's the most important thing you can say.''
---
Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you -
you - you - my life - my all - fare well.

Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

Ever thine
Ever mine
Ever ours

(a part of a letter from Ludwig Beethoven,
maybe some of the satc-lovers remember the last part from the first movie?)
---
last but not least:

Fashion is in the sky, in the street,
fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live,
what is happening
(Coco Chanel)

Bisous,
Ps. in 10 days i'm leaving to Paris, so excited!

Hair look of the day

Blake Lively's Loose Braid
THE STYLE An imperfect side braid with plenty of lived-in texture

WHERE The Spring 2011 Eyewear collection at Tiffany & Co. in New York City

WHY I LOVE IT Undeniable truth: Blake Lively has covetous hair. This braid works because it's not too prim or proper and allows her wavy natural texture to shine through. And it's a good lesson for the rest of us. That is, don't worry too much if your layers slip out of a side braid. Instead, embrace the low-key cuteness of the look.
