Are you ready for 2 0 0 9?

Are you ready? Only a couple of hours left before we have to put '09 on letters, instead of '08. That has always been the biggest change for me, I always forget the date. Stupid. Well, what are you guys going to do in 2009?


I want to take more photographs and print them, instead of leaving them on the pc.


I want to start dancing again


I'm hoping for a lot of l o v e in 2009


I want to buy a cute rabbit when I'm back from Gran Canaria :)

Daily outfit

Just a lazy day


Blouse: €5 zeeman, jeans €20 only, scarf €15 pieces, broche €5 H&M, belt €9 H&M

The cold north

My boyfriend and I went to Groningen, all the way up in the Netherlands. It was extremely cold, but we had a lot of fun! And as you can see, I'm not a very good photographer, haha!

On our way to Groningen


I tried to photograph a cute street but it didn't work.


Going out in Groningen, it was frrrreezing!


The pretty martini tower by night


On our way back with my cute little car, at the 'afsluitdijk'. Still very cold!

Daily outfit

Just my outfit, yesterday. A second hand oversized blouse (€ 10,-) with my only jeans (the only jeans that fit me ;) ), an owl necklace and my vintage purse which I found in my mothers closet.

Time flies..

It's been a while ago, but I was too busy for updating my blog. But well, I guess I'm back and so I'll give you a little update. I just booked my ticket for my internship abroad. It turned out that I could go to Gran Canaria, and I definitly said YES to that! 5 Months with sunshine, children and a lot of dancing and fun, why not? I'm really looking forward to this great one-in-a-lifetime experience!

Why?

1. I love the beach


2. I love to dance


3. I need to grow up, and learn to be independent


4. I love the sun


All the pictures are from serveral blogs, except the first one, that one is mine. I don't have the credits anymore because I saved them on my computer.

The new Ibiza

Long time no see! How are you guys? I'm doing fine, but really, really bussy! There was no free day for me left last week, from monday till sunday I was so bussy. And Sunday was the promotion of the new seat ibiza (you know, a car ;) ) and I helped the guys a little bit. It was really a great day, and I made a video, just check it out.



Have a nice day!

The bedroom again

Because of the horrible weather today I decided to clean and organize my room. My mother finally helped me with the curtains, and now they are prefect. My room is still not finished, but I'm getting close. The table on the left with the plant needs to be painted white. I'll do that whenever I have a free day again. Okay, stop talking, just see youself.

"Aapie" says hi to you guys.

I put a closet for my books on the right side. Had them first in a sort of basket, but I had too many. So that's why.

I cleaned out my closet. I'm proud at myself for doing that.

And my rainy view on the car.

Thanks everybody for the advices for my internship. I'm still talking with school about it, and as soon as I know more, I'll let you guys know. So you can help me make a decision.

Very proud at...

my car!

I bought my car a week and a half ago, because my old car was too expensive, and this one is a lot smaller. I'm really in love with it, the color, and the way it drives. It's not the most sportiest car there is, but I'm just proud at it because I bought it myself (I also bought my other car myself, and I also paid for my own driving license). I like it and it's cheaper then the other one. Just want to share it with you ;)

Internship in the UK

London, Gatwick, Cork, Bristol? What's the best place to stay for my internship for 6 months? Can you help me pick something out? I had 'crowne plaza' in London Gatwick in my mind because of the good stories (but I think it's a bit boring over there). London city is ofcourse absolutely fabulous but will it cost me a lot of money to stay there? And how is it there? And cork is absolutely beautifull ofcourse, but how's it to live there? I don't have a clue. Never been in the UK before and I really want to improve my English. So guys, can you help me make up my mind?

The bedroom

This is my bedroom. During the holliday I tried to make something of the room, and yet it is still not finished. As you can see in the left corner, my curtains are too long, and the wall on the right side is not really how I want it to be. But in the weekends I work on the room. Don't you just love my bed? I love it. I bought it secondhand and the bed is handmade. On the left side I have an old table I got for free from my neighbours, and all the pink stuff that's on it, is from a thriftshop. On the right side is my second hand table and everything what's on there is secondhand too. On the bed you see my little friends. Can't sleep without them. And yes, I'm maybe a little bit too old for them (19) but I don't care. If my monkey is not around I can't sleep. (I called him 'aapie', that's dutch for monkey) Hope to show you more pictures when it's finally done.

Friendship

The lack of updates wasn't only because I had to go to school or to work, it was also because I lost a couple of friends. Or actually, I decided not to be friends with them anymore. Right now, I haven't got much friends in 'real life', only one really good one, and my mother ofcourse (she is my biggest inspiration). When I was younger I had more friends, but now I'm growing up I realise that some people don't really deserve to be my friend. I had a friend, who told everything to me, all her problems, and all her joys. But when I had a problem or whatever, she never listened. She always told me she rather stay with her other friend, but because that friend had something else to do, she called me. I felt used. She was always angry with me when I went out with somebody else, or met new friends, she couldn't handle that and we broke up our friendship. In the last two months, I broke up with another 'friend'. She was talking behind my back and chose the side of a boy who hates me and did really bad things to me. Now I have only one good friend left, but she's everything to me. We have some arguments at the time, but we always have a way to figure out things. We always stay friends en she's is always there for me (just like I'm there for her). I don't know if you people know hyves? It's something like 'myspace' but it's the dutch version. I have a lot of 'friends' there, over 300. I know them from former jobs and even from school, but I never speak to them in real life. Some of them wanted me to become their friend on 'hyves', but when I asked how they are and what they do right now, they didn't respond. So last week I started to delete all my 'friends' who are just people I 'used' to know, and never speak with them in real life. Maybe I'll delete my whole account on hyves...

Long story, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for the mistakes, my English isn't really good, but what do you think of friendship? Have you got many friends? Or just one friend you know sure that you can trust him/her and it comes in both ways?

Inspiration

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I'm very busy with school and with my new job at Schiphol (I work at the tax free shops, when you're around, visit me ;-) ) And my inspiration was a bit gone, but I think it's back. Still searching for it, but I find itsy bitsy pieces, so I hope I'll have it all back soon. No more talking for now, just watching:

Holiday in the Netherlands

I'm spending my holiday in the Netherlands, and not only because I've to work during my holiday and I haven't got enough money to go to Spain or France, but just because I love being here. It isn't really bad though. My mum and I went to 'camperduin' in the North of the Netherlands, and enjoyed the day walking around and taking pictures of the lovely sea. The weather is finally a little bit better and it was actually not cold :)

Today's outfit

Hurray! The sun is shining and the temperature is rising! So today I wore an old pair of jeans from bershka and my zara dress. The wayfarer looking sunglasses are from H&M and the bag is from Invito. I did some shopping today for my room, it's almost finished and I'll take some pictures soon.

Bohemian Musings

A german girl with a blog and an amazing style. I'm talking about 'bohemian musings', a blog wich I'm reading alot. She has an incredible vintage style and I like the way how she writes. Just visit her blog and check it out for yourself. You can click on the title.

The old cottage

When I have enough money, I'll leave the Netherlands to find myself a cute little old cottage. Such like this one, it's in France. I found it on the web while I was searching for a cottage wich is for rent during the holidays. Maybe I'll suprise my mom and rent a cottage during christmas, somewhere in England or in France. How about you? Do you like new, tight houses or do you prefer an old one like this cottage?

Summerfeelings

I live in the Netherlands, and most of the time the weather is really, really bad. It's summer and it's raining already a week! I'm getting a little bit depressed and want to sheer up the website with a nice, summerish picture. Hopefully the weather will be better next week, so I can get a little bit tanned. I'm so white right now, I hate it.

Style of Keira Knightley

I love Keira Knightley, and not only because she's a great actress, but mostly for her style and her personality. Keira is not a typical British girl and her outfits are most of the time vintage. I love her body too, some people think she's too skinny but I think it's just the way she is. And she looks good.

Kitchen

Want to have a new kitchen? Here's some inspiration for you I found on the web. I love old, cosy kitchens as you can see. We're going to rebuild our kitchen soon too. Pictures will follow.

Inspiration

I'm changing my bedroom, and I still need some inspiration. I've searched on many weblogs and found some great pictures. If you know more nice websites with a lot of interior pictures (and as specially those wich are in vintage/shabby chic style) let me know :)
