munsterous. #2

Well, I went to this little German town Münster yesterday, with two classes. (Mine and another, doh.) It was so much fun! There were like 5 or 6 Christmas markets that sold stuff for in your Christmas tree of course, but also typical German food, stuff like baking forms and hats, scarves etc. It sucked though, that we had to look for certain churches and stuff to answer questions about it, we didn't find about half of them so we traded the answers with some other group.. =# we also had to interview people in German which was actually very fun! There was this man that could really say something in Dutch! 'Heeft het eten goed gesmaakt?' he said, with a terrible accent, but still funny. (It means 'Did the food taste good?' =p)
Of course, because we were there all day, we shopped too. Or at least we tried to. We were with the seven of us: five of which my friends, me, and one girl that is kind of the loner in our class (because she's so annoying! don't get me wrong though..) and had to come with us. On our way to the market, where we had to answer questions, we ran into this vintage shop in a little alley! One friend of mine, and myself of course, really wanted to go there. The others actually just wanted to go to H&M -.-' so first we finished what we had to do and the seven of us went there anyways =)
It was so cool! They had a real lot, and it was all so pretty... and cheap too! There were racks and racks of dresses, shirts and stuff.. It was vintage heaven =p the only thing was there were almost no shoes or bags, expect for these like 20 inch-heels with the largest plateau soles ever.. but anyway, the ones that didn't want to go there liked it a lot too. The one friend that did want to go bought a really cute hat and a sweater which I fitted first but was a little small.. =( but I did buy two things that I wanted to buy for some time: a big knitted sweater (you could almost smell the old lady, haha) for only 25 euros and a plaid shirt for just 10. (By the way, we never again went to the H&M: we did eat in the most delicious and cheap pizzeria ever)










(Sorry for the weird rotation)

i'm from holland...

...where the f--- you from? This song, that yes, consists (almost) only of these two sentences, was literally a hit in Holland. That should give a little image of us..
It disgusts me that in Holland you can say stuff like that on TV or radio, without hearing a beep or even nothing. But what I also don't like from the Netherlands is that when I go somewhere, I always take my camera to photograph inspiring looks and stuff. Problem is, there are none. At least not where I go. And if there are, they stay in, or the people have been on Dam Style or Tony or something. I mean, I'd rather live somewhere like in Paris, where people dare. Here it's either Uggs or Nikes on your feet, either jeans or way too short skirts. And I do that sometimes too (although my fake bear-paws are just for inside, thank you), but I'd love to not be the only one taking a chance! Or at least in Amsterdam..

Well, the planned-to-post last looks:












Dec. 3rd: (I most definitely had my laces tied) Striped shirt, greyish longsleeve (which I 'edited' for the worse): H&M - Cardigan: H&M Young - Skirt: gift - Tights: ? - Shoes: Adidas.

Dec. 10th: Dress, cardigan: Ross - Tights: ? - Shoes: Converse All Star @ V&D - Longsleeve: H&M.






Sweater, shirtdress: H&M - Tights: H&M? - Belt: my mom's (wore my Nikes)



Why I almost never wear heels, might cross your minds. Well, I'm 5'10'' or even 5'11''.. something like that. That makes me the tallest girl in my class, and I don't really mind, but when I wear heels I'm.. huge. I wear them sometimes, but another thing is I don't have ten pair of them like the rest of you. I'd want to, but since I'm a teenager my mom would not want me to.. Haha.

munsterous.

With school, I'm going to Munster tomorrow, a German city! Of course we'll have to do schoolish stuff like interviewing people on the street and search for special monuments and places and describe them. But we're there for over 10/11 hours, and our teacher told us there's a special Christmas market there, so it will be so much fun! We're all planning on shopping a lot, I hope the market includes fashion and stuff too.. I also thought that if someone's interested, I'll try and make streetstyle photos. I don't know how the fashion is there, but we'll see. Maybe it's truely inspiring, maybe it's boring. We'll see.

Ps. soon there will be some (less recent) looks of mine. I haven't been dressing my best lately, because I suck at layering and it's so damn cold! I don't like winter much.

you move me so.

God, it's been a while again. This is because A) I've been super busy with this Dutch holiday that was on December 5th, St. Nicholas (must have heard of it?), B) I had not much to post and C) I didn't feel like posting what I did have.. I must remind you, or warn you if you didn't know already, that I'm totally lazy. (Also, my room just had a make-over this weekend so my computer was also dead for a day, but that's no excuse.) Well, here some outfits I just love, because it's been a while.. hope you love them like I do.

oh, my lady victoria.. (#2)

As I promised, my very own Victorian looks, modern style of course. I wouldn't have thought it would work out this well.. Of course you could do a better job but for my laziness, it's quite good.











Shirt, skirt: gift - Purse: gift (Guess) - Hat: my mom's - Shoes: little shop in Portugal - Gloves: H&M.












Blue shirt, purse: my mom's - Dress: Ross - Skirt: French market - Blazer: H&M.

These looks actually wearable on a casual day, I think. I got so inspired I wanted to wear it instantly, but I just need a few pairs of tights for under it now, in matching colors. Try going out bare-legged with this weather! It's snowing!

(These are two looks of for. This means there will be a third part of the Victorian posts.)

as she wondered through the night

I've been shopping once again. I didn't buy much, but both my purchases are (by accident) good for the Victorian looks (of which I'll post two today or tomorrow).











Lace leggings and orange angora gloves, both H&M. My outfit for the day:











Sweater, skirt: H&M - Tights: Hema - Shoes: Adidas.
