this world is getting better and better with the day

Tie-dye dress, vintage. Cardigan, Ross. Headband turned belt came with shirt.

I think in the first-to-last post people had mistaken this dress for DIY in stead of tie-dye. Note: I did not dye it myself, I bought it this way! :)

Today we're having a party at my house. It's to celebrate my mom's birthday, but also still mine (though it was in June..) Friends and family are coming over and there's a lot of food :)

PLAYING: I love you - Esser
I usually don't do 'playing' thingies but I just felt like it ;)

PS: I'd love to make a Q&A post! I don't know if anyone would be interested but I'd like to answer questions if there are. So just ask anything and when there are enough I'll put them in a post :)

i'll do anything, to be happy

Cardigan, Benetton. Basic longsleeve, H&M. High-waist skirt, H&M. Polka dot tights, H&M. Ladybug necklaces: one from my childhood and one was a gift from a friend. (Headband came with shirt/worn with bright red low-top All Stars.)

I'm kind of uninspired lately when it comes to post titles so I'm quoting a few of my new loved songs ;) this is what I wore to the first (official) day to school. Yesterday we got to know in what class we were, we got our timetables and then we went for a walk in the woods. Our teacher, though, didn't know the way, nor did he know how to work with a map.. but we had a very special, goat-milk ice cream afterward which had a weird aftertaste but was good anyhow ;) Today we had PE, 'General Science' in which we watched short films from illusionist Darren Brown (is he the one that wrote all those Freak Show books and all?), then what we call a 'between hour' (no class) and at last philosophy, which was probably the best part of the day ;) there was this boy who came from Germany and moved here and he carried this dictionary all the time ;)

PS. Thanks for all the lovely comments! I was really flattered to hear all these good things about my blog and all. I'm getting back to each and every one of them as soon as possible!

we celebrate

100th post! And.. I have absolutely nothing to say! I'm just glad I made it so far already, you know, that I.. kept going on ;) most of the time I promise myself to keep a blog/website and I just quit because I get bored. I think this is different, because it's a passion of mine and I'm just too glad with the amount of visitors I get to stop. It might not be as much as all these great bloggers get, but it takes time and I'm willing to give that.

Well I guess this 'something' :)

A treat to you, though: my buys from today ;)



Longsleeve shirt, €3, vintage (Laura Dols).
Tie-dye dress, €5, vintage (Zipper).

Talk about bargains ;)

baby there's a shark in the water

Breton sweater, shop in Arles France. Jeans, H&M. Lace-ups, Zipper (DIY patch). Ladybug necklace from childhood (upper) and a gift from a friend (lower ladybug :) ). Fabric tree bag, ..? Pearl bracelets, gift from my primary school teacher ;)

Wore this for a day in the center of Amsterdam, shopping with a friend. I bought a dress at the Zipper for 5 euros and a shirt at Laura Dols for 3 euros (which you'll see soon, I promise). We drank coffee and ate hot dogs and on our way home talked about 'being old' and reincarnation. She thought I must have a very young soul. Hers is not young, not old.. somewhere about two to three centuries :)

color clash flash. clash.

Pink Panther shirt, V&D. DIY cut-off shorts, Bella. Ladybug necklace, from my childhood. High-tops, Converse. (Headband came with a shirt ;) )

there's always time to make time

Shirt, H&M (my mom's). Skirt, H&M. Tights, H&M Young. Shoes, shop in Portugal.

I gave these shoes to my sister but they still fit me (enough.. I don't feel my toes too hot but who cares about toes?) and I love them so.. Too bad I don't wear them so much, but now my sister won't let me wear them so I'll have to steal them.. Shh..

Yesterday we went to a party in this friend's second home.. it was an 'anti-squat' which used to be a psychiatric facility. It looked like it too: like there were isolation cells under the floor and all, and like people had bumped their heads against walls.. no kidding. But they will not fix it because it could be so that they get 'kicked out' and then they just have to leave. That is, when the government or something has got plans for it. But the area was so pretty! It's a shame my camera was in the car still when me and my parents went for a little walk. It was all green and there were meadows all over the place. Plants grew at their wildest, and on one field there was this overgrown Maria statue. I swear it could have been mesmerizing enough to get me to become catholic.



(I painted my nails before and made a picture with the cutest fairy scepter that belonged to the 5 year-old in the family.)
