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!

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!

Serena's style diary

I absolutely lóve Blake Lively on Gossip Girl. I'm in love with the show, I follow it on: http://www.fastpasstv.com/. starting on today you can see episode 4 of the fourth season. Who will steal Serena's heart, Dan or Nate?
I do know one thing, she steals my heart with all of her clothes! So, here is are some outfit photo's from Gossip Girl. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!
(source: http://www.cwtv.com/)

The last 2 looks are my favourite ones. On the last photo she also has her hair different, I like it! I'll come back to you soon!
You know you love me, xoxo gossip girl ;-)

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.

Going Gaga?

Hey you!
I'm getting ready for the party tonight, (By the way: the club is renovating and I heard the floor, bar and the toilets are out! I'm curious for the club tonight) and I tried 2 new nail polishes. I don't know if I like it really, I think it's a look for Lady Gaga. But it's only for the party tonight, and the glitters may have a nice effect with all the lights. What do you (honestly) think?

I'm running a little late, I'll post as soon as I can!
xoxo

Polish for you

Hi!
I had absolutely no inspiration this week, still not actually. Yesterday I bought 8(!) nailpolishes, crazy right? I promised myself that these were my last nailpolishes for the winter of 2010, but maybe I had my fingers crossed? 3 nailpolishes for french manicure, metal blue, pink as a base for pink sparkles and silver as a base for silver sparkles. What colours are the musthaves for winter 2010, do you think?
After my (little) shopping I went to the cinema with a friend. The movie was Inception and I liked it very much!(not only because Leonardo Dicaprio was a big part of it)
Anyway, have a great weekend!
Ps: Olivia Palermo is going to be the new face of Mango
Pps: Vero Moda comes with a lingerie line in October

Kisses,

Fashion friends

Hi guys!
My weekend was so much fun, I really had the best time!
Saturday my friends from Fashioncamp arrived at my place. They came all the way out here from Lisse & Leeuwarden! I'm só glad they came :)
Saturday I went to my hairdresser and did a little shopping. Then we got ready for my 16th birthday party. I was a little bit nervous, but everything worked out fine! I had a great time and I want to thank all of you for that!
After cleaning up and stuff, we had a little afterparty with some friends of my brother. We still had a lot of beer, so we had to make sure that there was nothing left haha!
My weekend was great! I say: next week, same time?
Kisses,
Ps: pictures are coming soon!

We have magic

Sorry for my lack of posting, but I don't have time to do anything. I've been so busy, it's crazy.
We thought the economic is rising, right? Well, also the prices. Primark's (read my previous blogs) prices are going to rise. Because of the floods in Pakistan and China have destroyed so many crops, the prices of raw materials are rising. In England is expected an increase of 8%. Also H&M is worrying about the prices of various materials. The cotton prices went from $0.1 to $0.83, the highest prices of the last fifteen years! I'm not so excited about this news..

But I am excited about sharing you this news: I'm going to eat, breathe and sleep fashion (even more than I do now). I'm going to the beautiful fashion city, Paris! In october I'm going 5 days with my mother, to spend my time eating croissants, enjoying hot French waiters and shopping like hell. My sixteenth birthday present. I can also enjoy the October party's until wednesday. What a lovely week: days of partying with my friends and shopping in Paris. I'm already excited!

Au revoir! Amour

Lazy sunny day

The sun is shining, hmmhmmm.. you know the song right? Today was a sunny day and there's no other way then to spend it being lazy, listening to music and enjoying the sun. Here is my casual outfit of the day. Today's word: simplicity.

sunnies: Six
bag: Primark
strapless top: H&M
pants: Zara
belt: my mother's

Enjoy the rest of your day! Or your party in the night..

New season

only 11 days till a new season. But that's not what i'm talking about. The vampire diaries premiered last night in America. I just watched the first episode of season 2, and it's going to be even more fun than last season! If you want to watch it(without translation) click here. You can choose a link and watch it. spoiler alert! one major character dies, which one will it be?

Or are you the Gossip Girl type? It premieres on September the 13th.
I'm kind of an 'I can't choose one television show', cause I like them all!
also the premieres of these television shows this month:
- Grey's anatomy, Private Practice, The good wife, 90210 and One three hill
And yes, I watch them all..

Hair Look of the day

THE STYLE A low ponytail with sculpted bangs

  WHY I LOVE IT Audrina Patridge has her California rocker girl chic style, but that doesn't mean she can't step it up when needed. This dressed-up 'do is polished without being overdone. (And the swipe of matte red lipstick finishes the look to perfection!)

Dutch only

Binnenkort verschijnt er een nieuwe modeserie op de buis : Modemeisjes met een missie. In de serie worden vier jonge meiden gevolgd terwijl zij proberen het te maken in de modewereld. Niemand minder dan Gordon zal het programma produceren.

De vier meiden uit de serie zijn Josh Veldhuizen, Maria Tailor, Tamara Elbaz en Christina Curry. Josh Veldhuizen zou je kunnen kennen als de ex van Regilio Tuur en Christina Curry is natuurlijk de dochter van Patricia Paay en Adam Curry. De andere twee dames zijn (nog) niet bekend.

Alle vier de dames proberen een succesvolle carriere in de modewereld te krijgen. Socialite Christina wil prominent vertegenwoordigd zijn op de internationale fashion's A-list en doorbreken als presentatrice, de missie van it-girl Josh is om haar eigen modemerk JOSH V te lanceren en zowel nationaal als internationaal op de kaart te zetten. Model Maria wil haar ultieme droom verwezenlijken: een succesvol en gerenommeerd actrice worden en zakenvrouw Tamara's missie is om met haar bedrijf, Silk-PR, Events & Models, de wereldmarkt te veroveren op het gebied van haar laatst genoemde bedrijfsdivisies. Of ze dat gaat lukken, is binnenkort op RTL te zien.

Josh Veldhuizen, love the look!

The holiday

Today was my last day of holiday. What's better than to spend it with your best friend? We decided to go to Den Haag, because all the other big cities we already went for a couple of times( In case you haven't met me yet, I'm a shopaholic). But we felt like going to the Primark at Rotterdam, so first we went to Primark. I have to say, I love and hate it. Love it because of the great prices(3 euro's for a legging!), but on the opposite, I hate it. I think i'm saving money, but you buy a lot of cheap stuff. I bought some leggings, a LBD and really comfortable sleep stuff for the winter. I also bought a beige blazer at Den Haag. It was my first time in Den Haag (I swear!) and I must say I like the city! My best friend was my city guide, so it couldn't have been a better day than today. Last day shopping with my best friend on a sunny(!) day. I hope you all enjoyed your last day!

Hope to see you next time!
PS: do you already miss the holiday? until september the 22th there is in the London store Selfidges an exhibition of shoes designed by Vivienne Westwood to admire. A total of 200 pairs of shoes displayed the red-haired designer from 1773 to 2010 has created.

A fashion stroll

When Olivia Palermo takes a stroll, it's always a stylish one. Aside from the arm candy, I like the look! This time she stepped out in a utilitarian shirt dress, one I love because of its menswear-gone-girlish vibe. Try a pair of ballet flats like Olivia for now, then booties and tights later on.

Have a great time mixing!

The day after yesterday

I don't even know where to begin. Well, I'll start at the beginning. 01/09 I went with my best best friend to a movie, Salt. It was an actionfilm and we really enjoyed the movie! At exactly 00.00 we celebrated our birthday with 'Jip&Janneke' champaign, the last time a non-alcohol champaign haha. After that we celebrated (again) our birthday but with a first legal alcoholic drink. We went outside for our wish balloons, but it didn't work out as well as planned haha. My balloon flamed himself, there goes my wish right? The other balloon, after a half hour of trying, went up into the air! I have pictures, but I don't have them on the computer yet. I'll post them (I have to post a lot of pictures, as I promised already!) later. I had a wonderfull birthday, thanks to all of you!
Thanks for all the 'Happy birtday's!'

Hope to see you next time!
PS: Lanvin is the new guestdesigner for H&M! The collection will be showed to the world on November the 2th. Only three weeks before the collection will be in stores, I'm so excited!

Shine like gold

Upcoming: birthday tomorrow
But what are you going to wear on your birthday?
(Why do you want to make your birthday the best day of the year? It really isn't like any other day.
And why do you wanna look on your best?  Because you always want to look good)
I'm in such a dilemma! I think i'm going to walk around all day in my new clothes.
Tonight i'm going with my best friend to the cinema. It's also her birthday tomorrow, fun right?
It sounds fun, but normally we don't get to see each other on our birthday. So we wanted to change that for this year. First we're going to the movie and when it's 00.00 we're going to send our wish balloons up into the air. Sounds crazy, right? But my wish certainly come true this year. I finally get to see my best friend on our birthday and we're spending almost the whole day together!

See you next time!

Ps; Do you have an idea for my outfit?
Pps; If you're in Sittard tonight, maybe you can wish with us at 00.00 when you see our balloons!

''Sometimes I just close my eyes..''

I just got back from an amazing trip with 2 of my good friends. We were staying in my brothers apartment in Rotterdam. Thursday we left to Rotterdam and went right away to Amsterdam. We were quite tired actually, but who cares if you're going shopping right?I bought a 'jegging' and a chino. I was searching for them both, so my searching is finally rewarded! Friday we went to do a little shopping in the city itself.
Do you believe it, but after 2 days of shopping we were a little bored with it !?
So saturday we went to Scheveningen, my brother works there at the beach. It was nice that he was also there and we could catch up a little bit. We walked along the sea and had a lot of fun. It turned out to be the best day for the wether, at one point the sun was almost shining for two hours!
We recovered from our 'we don't want to go shopping' and sunday we went shopping in the city. First we went to Primark, because I heard so much stuff about it. It made me curious! I have to say it's a lot of fun to shop there. Know what you want to buy there, because there is so much stuff. You have to look everywhere to find your favorites. I ended up buying: an oversized blouse, a striped sweater, bracelets, brooch and a bag for only 40 euro's. (Pictures of my trip will follow!)
Today was our last day and we spent it watching Gossip Girl and to take goodbye of the city.

See you next time!
XOXO,

City trips

yesterday I went with 2 of my friends to Rotterdam. My brother lives there and he's working in the weekends, so we're going to 'take over his crib'. My clothes don't fit for the wether, because it's pretty cold this weekend. The wether isn't very well, but we're not going to let us stop that for planning fun stuff of course!
Yesterday we also went to Amsterdam, after dropping our suitcases. The wether was bad, but it was so much fun!
Today we're going to the city, Rotterdam and for the rest we'll see.
I'm not going to blog so much while i'm here, sorry for that!
                                                   XOXO,

Monsoon

There are more and more reasons to shop at the V&D. After Warehouse, Oasis, Sephora and Accessorize, Monsoon will be a shop-in-shop in different V&D affiliates.

They don't have (yet) their own stores, but they will be at V&D in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht. Perhaps there will follow more..

personal favorites are:

Celeb look

One of my favourite pictures of Lauren Conrad is this one:

Sand colored dress with tight waist, beige handbag and corresponding high heels.

I think she looks adorable!

First day*

Today was the first time since I'm back from spain (almost a month ago) that it was a very nice day. The sun was shining so immediately I put on a dress, I wore it for the first time today. After a couple of hours I met with a friend in the city to grab some dinner and I wore my new white short. It is also new and I love it! I wanted to make some pictures, but I left my camera in a friend's bag. So today was my first day without my camera, such a bummer! Tomorrow I'm going swimming with my friends and for the first time i'm going to do nothing at all and just relax. Take a dip too before it's cold again!

get inspired

the art and fashion coming together 'thing'

I spend almost 4 wonderful days with my sister. Saturday we went shopping at Goes. I bought some new sportclothing at H&M, because when I don't have anything nice to wear, I won't go haha (all excuses why I shouldn't go to the gym). Yesterday I worked the hole day and after that I had drinks with some of my friends to catch up.
While I was at my sister, me and my sister painted for each other a painting. I did some research on the internet to get inspired and found this:
(source: http://www.peggywolf.com/)

I really like the sort of 'Art and Fashion coming together thing'.

I was straight inspired!

3 1/2 days

hey you!
yesterday was such a crazy day! First I worked for 1,5 hours and then I went home to pack my suitcase. I really didn't know what to pack, because I always think that I have nothing to wear, haha! After that I went to my friend, it was her birthday yesterday. So happy birthday to my dear friend Daniëlle!
When my mom picked me up, we went like crazy people to the station to buy some magazines and I hurried to get my train. 3 hours later I arrived at my 'city to be' to spend almost 4 days with my sister. So i'm not going to leave many messages here, sorry for that. But I have a song I want to share with you guys. It's from Taio Cruz's album Rockstar.

Taio Cruz - The 11th hour

Happy Birthday to Tommy!

I almost forgot it. Six years ago my mom and I bought a cat. He's so funny and such an idiot!
So, happy birthday to my cat!

Rumor: Shiatzy Chen for H&M?

After Roberto Cavalli, Viktor & rolf, Comme des Garcons, Matthew Williamson and Jimmy Choo is this year up to Shiatzy Chen. The Taiwanese fashion designer is going to make a collection, or at least the rumor goes.
The Taiwanese fashion house is named Shiatzy Chen and although this is not widely known in Europe, it's often compared to Chanel. Shiatzy Chen's style is described as neo-Chinese chic and is a combination of Western and Chinese craft cuts.
If the rumor is true, it wouldn't be an onlogic decision. Many designers make a leap to Asia. The last fashionshow of Shiatzy Chen is inspired by Vogue's Anna Wintour. I hope the collection will be made, because I think it's going to be inspiring. Here are some pfoto's from Fashionweek in Paris. If it's all true, the collection is going to be released in November.

How different would it be when he didn't need to worry about me anymore. What would he do with all his free time? He'd have to get a new hobby. (Bella)

Hi!
I don't know if there are some 'Twifans' over here, but I'm for sure a fan!
The fourth part of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, will be split up in two movies. The fans already knew that part four was never going to fit in one movie, it has over 700 pages! The first movie will release on November 18, 2011 and the second movie on November, 16 in 2012. I can't wait for the movies to come out, so in the meantime I have to keep myself busy with other fun things, like blogging! Here are some new photo's from the starring actors. Are you with team Jacob or team Edward?

shop, shop, shopattack!

Hi guys!

this is my first piece for my blog, so i'm very excited!

Thursday I went with my friend Jip to Maastricht, the capital of Limburg. I didn't have much money to spend, because on my holiday in Spain with my best friend I already spent almost all my money. But I still had something in case of an emergency, like.. shopping! I bought a black and grey striped cardigan, a LWD (little white dress) and a black top at H&M. I'll make some pictures soon, because i'm still not sure about my cardigan. Friday I went with my mother shopping at Heerlen. I bought a new 'school' bag in a little shop and a white top at Mango. So there goes all my money, haha! So I gave myself 'shop-arrest' and I'm on the right track again, but it's only been 3 days.. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't go to the city!
