we trust, we have no choice, we must

Ok, so here I am again with a good enough excuse for being gone for so long, because our internet server simply sucks. There, I said it. Please don't arrest me for putting the word 'suck' on the internet.. twice.. But it's true: all the internet was down for a couple of days and now I'm writing from my dad's laptop since my computer is still dead. What a communication.

I got a really sweet award from Sam a few days ago! Since I was absent I didn't quite know (yes, I also have about a hundred more posts of yours to go on Bloglovin') I'm only putting it up now..



I'm not completely sure how many people you're supposed to forward this to, but I choose:

Rebecca
Raquel
'MS'

I know, I'm not the most popular person here.. :(

Note: The following post is going to include FOUR outfits but since I have to shoot today's look over it could take.. a while.

so your words are technically his

Shirt, my dad's. Skirt, vintage (Zipper).

I have official permission to raid my father's closet and so I have. This was the best thing I found so far, though I didn't browse thoroughly through it yet. I rolled up the sleeves -from all the detail 'fashionalities' I've learned from you guys, this is the most subtle one, but also one of the best. It's some sort of sign of originality or something. I know for sure it's not regular because my friend today was like 'noooo, don't roll 'em up!' and started 'fixing' them but in fact she's the one who wears jeans and Chucks (almost) every day. She does have an amazing brown military jacket though.

Well well. This skirt was the one I bought yesterday at the Zipper, there you saw it, so another picture from the piece on its own isn't necessary. I don't feel like it, anyways. And I still have to photograph my recently-bought bikini, dress and schedule-thingie, but you'll probably see them soon enough..
So it's just the birthday-gift post! Be prepared for the 'longest waiting possible'.

monotone

Top, Gap. Longsleeve & shorts, H&M. Tights, Hema. Socks, cut-off tights. Shoes, Zipper.

Kinda grey day for me. By the way, the knot was supposed to be on the back but I like it better like this ;) and the socks are so comfy and slouchy :D

I bought another skirt today, for €10. In a following post, I suppose/hope. In half an hour though I have singing class and after that I'm watching my sister do circus tricks in a real circus tent! Really cool. She can bend all ways and stuff :) creepy though.

and now my independence starts

Here is Saturday's outfit: I didn't do... much. I also had my birthday outfit to show but those pictures are horrid (look at me saying fancy words! ;) ) so I'll spare you that.



Shirt/skirt/leggings, H&M. Cardigan, Benetton. Ski socks, Makro.

See, I was lazy enough to walk around in my home comfy warm socks. (Not outside though.. :) ) It was necessary, too: it wasn't even that warm or anything! And that calls itself June..

I also have a post coming including my birthday gifts, and one for the things I bought yesterday (a bikini-striped, not polka dotted; a beach dress and a school agenda/diary that's totally cute). Now, I'm a little too lazy so you can expect them when they're done. I'm not going to promise you then a spat before there's actual proof of their existence, because you know, me and promises.. :#

Kagetsu

1. Information
Kagetsu is a Japanese restaurant located since 2004 in the Hartenstraat and since 2005 in the Van Woustraat, both in Amsterdam. They serve Japanese specialties such as sushi (and sake), but also teriyaki chicken and salmon, seaweed salad and special ice cream in flavors like 'green tea' and 'sesame'.
- The service and menu is all in English
- The people working there are very friendly and the service is good
- The place looks nice and very oriental
- The menus are cool because they have all kinds of drawings :)
- You'll be more sure of a table when making a reservation
- They only accept cash, so no pin/credit card
- In the Van Woustraat it's possible to order take-away
- When it's your birthday, they give you 'treats' ;)
- You get full easily! You wouldn't say so with all the small bites, but do not order too much.


2. Price ranges
- Small/side dishes like sushi or rice will go from about €2,- through €8,-
- The main dishes range from €10,- through €20,-
- The appetizers and soups are €6,- and under
- Deserts are below €5,-
- 'Alcoholic' drinks are around the €5,- because they're Japanese specials, only the Sake (ginjyou) is €14,50
- Non-alcohol drinks are about €3,- though I'm not completely sure, since they're not on a menu. (You can order apple juice, cassis, coke etc. and just a bottle of water)


3. Recommendations
- Appetizers: the Kaisou Sarada (seaweed salad), the Sake Salad (with salmon) and the Takosu (octopus)
- Sushis: Sake-maki (salmon) and the Ebi (shrimp/cucumber/mayonnaise) especially
- Warm dishes: The Teriyaki Chicken and/or Salmon and the chicken noodles
- a bowl of plain rice (I'm a sucker for it.. :) )
- Deserts: Green tea ice cream (all-time favorite!) and the 'rice cake'
- (I recommend the Van Woustraat: in the Hartenstraat it once took very long before we were helped and then the waiter started acting all weird.. (Can I say that? :|) we've only been there once and in the Van Woustraat about four, five times..)
