Vacation, Walibi Halloween, Evi, My Fair Lady and Dahlia

I have several things to say this post. First I want to say thank you to all who answered my questions! I really really appreciate it!^^ I'm also very surprised of the fact that no one really thinks I need to improve something. Except for maybe a new lay out. But you know what my problem is with lay outs? I'm very critical, I rarely like a lay out. But when I do find a lay out that I like, I'll consider to it use it here.
I'm also going to try to show more things that I made at school. Patterns and things like that. This week I'm about to finish 2 new samples, so when they're finished I'm going to show them. Pinky swear.
For I forget, I still have one more question for the Internet Explorer users! How is the quality of my photos in Internet Explorer? In the Internet Explorer I have, the quality of some photo's isn't that good.

Now about past weekend! It was so fun and busy! It started friday after school. My school vacation started and I still need to finish some things at home. I had to bring all the things with me and I had to carry all the things in 4 heavy, almost snapping, plastic bags. So I called my dad and asked him if he had the time to pick me up from school. I mean, carrying 4 heavy plastic bags with you (plus my own bag, so actually 5 bags. Auwts) the train in and out isn't so pleasant. I need to travel with 3 trains when I'm going home and normally it isn't fun, but this was just awful. And gladly he didn't had to do anything that day and he picked me up! (I seriously have the sweetest father ever.) After he picked me up we rented some films and went to my mom's house to get some clothes and shoes. I spended my weekend at my dad's.
When it was Saturday evening Evi arrived here! We ate a lot of chocolate and popcorn. Not good, but so delicious. We watched 3 films. Well, actually 2 and a quarter. We watched Inkheart (I recommend it), My Fair Lady (with Audrey Hepburn) and a little part of Drag me to Hell (never again. Nasty, nasty, nasty!). The next day Evi, my dad, my grandmother and I went out for lunch. I've had tomato soup! Very good tomato soup, hehe. After lunch Evi and I went to Walibi Halloween! We went to the show Beetlejuice (I've also been there last year, see it here) and believe me. He's one little, horny beetle. Evi and I laughed our behinds off, haha. The rest of the evening was also very fun and scary.
Monday we spended half the day in bed and watched some films. Around 3 O'clock we got out of bed and got dressed. Evi took my dad outfit shots (thanks Evi!) and after taking the photos it was already 5:30 PM and we needed to go away, because we were going out for diner to a Japanese restaurant in Hilversum. That restaurant has the most delicious food ever.

Sorry for the whole story! Here are the photos Evi took of and for me! I wore this outfit several times last week. Got addicted.

Designer Remix blouse
Heaven & Earth dress from Asos.com
Steps scarf
H&M tights
Givenchy ankleboots
Vintage purse from Ilovevintage.nl
The necklace was a gift from my dad

Now the last thing I still need to tell! About 2 months ago I got an award from lovely Ruxandra and I'm sooooo ashamed that it took so long to post it here. But better late than never, right? I also need to write down 10 interesting things about me.

Ok here we go:
1. Since I installed The Sims 3 on my new computer I'm addicted. Last week Monday I played all day long The Sims 3. I didn't even got dressed, only wore my pyjamas.
2. I don't really like my education anymore. I'm more interested in a journalism education. I love writing.
3. When I was little I always used to draw. My grandmother has a sewing room and one wall is full with my drawings I made when I was 'little'.
4. I've had several pets when I was younger. In total I had 3 bunnies, 5 guinea-pigs, 1 rat, 3 hamsters (one time I had 2 hamster in the same cage (male and female) and we got 6 baby hamsters!), 2 cats (one is still alive) and a dog, who we still have!
5. Boyfriend and I are planning to live together in Amsterdam in some years.
6. I've been buying to many red and dark blue clothes lately.
7. I used to wear only silver jewellery, but these days I also wear a lot of gold.
8. I miss being 14.
9. Since boyfriend and I are together, I started to listen more to 'hard' music.
10. In my last year of primary school we had to do a musical in front of all the parents. The musical was called 'Bubblegum Gangsters'. I hated it.

Now I need to past this award on to 10 bloggers. But I don't want to past it on to only 10 bloggers. I want to give this award to all my lovely and loyal readers! If you haven't got this award yet, it's yours!

I hope everyone liked my writings and here are the last 3 things I wanted to show you! It's all from Dahlia ^^

Where did my head go to?

Oh men, my memory is SO BAD! I still have to do some tags and I got an award (thank you all so much who gave the tags and award to me (more details further on this post)). I'm trying to put everything down here right now and if I forgot an award or tag, please tell me about it! If it was possible, I would forget my own head every morning. Really have to write down stuff...

But now the first tag! I got it from Rebecca.

Four places I go to over and over:

School, my dads place, Ilovevintage and the shoe department from the Bijenkorf

Four people who email me on a regular base:

Boyfriend, the dad, I email myself a lot because of schoolwork I make at school and friends

Four favorite smells:

Flowerbomb(!!!!!!!!!) by Viktor & Rolf, roses, my shampoo and the smell of new shoes

Four places I'd rather be right now:

New York, London, Iseo and with my mom who's lying at the hospital right now (nothing serious, just till tomorrow, but I miss her already)

Four tv shows I watch:

(this isn't a hard one!) Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty and Little house on the prairie

Four people I tag:

Whoever wants to do this tag!

And now the second tag! I got this one from Demi. Thank you to keep me from boredom!

Describe your personal style.

A mix of sweet vintage dresses, skirts and blouses with new high heels.

What are the staples in your wardrobe?

I have at the moment not really staples. All my dresses, cardigans, favorite shirts and skirts are hanging at my clothesrack. The rest of my shirts were lying on a shelf, but that's gone, so they're now lying in a big blue Ikea bag. Still have to find some space for them.

What's your signature look?

Dresses or a blouse with a skirt, a pair of tights (mostly black, but sometimes an other color) with high heels.

What inspires you?

My own clothes. I just have to look at a dress for example and I just see the whole outfit in front of me. And ofcourse fashionblogs! There a too much to say. Really. But they're all in my link list!

Who is your fashion muse?

Oh dear... That's a hard one. Even though I really love the style of Zoey Deschanel (I hope I write it correct)

Favorite purchase of all time?

This vintage dress, I got at Ilovevintage.nl

Biggest splurge?

These Miu Miu pumps, I got last december

What's your beauty routine?

First I wash my face, then I put up (sometimes) my eyeshadow from Estee Lauder, then my eyeliner from mostly Dior and the Diorshow mascara. And ofcourse! Also white powder, because I hate me red cheeks. The white powder is also from Dior (yes, dior make up addict)

What jewellery do you never take off?

My necklace I got from boyfriend, in august I believe.

What are you wishing for?

I'm graving for a pair Chloé, Viktor & Rolf and Balanciaga heels! I almost love always all of their shoes.

What are your obsessions?

High, high heels, tights, bows, floral patterns, dresses, Ilovevintage, Peter Rabbit, my dog Odie, antique furniture, dvd's, scarfs and vintage/antique jewellery

And yet again, I'm tagging no one! If you haven't done this tag yet, feel free to do it.

Now the award! I got this one from Yvonne, Berry Picking and Kathryn.

I'm sorry for the ones who didn't get an award (there are also some who already got one from me!), but I can't pick everyone sadly. But enough writing and forgetting. Here's my outfit! And to stay in the 'I-forget-everything-subject', this outfit is an outfit from 2 months ago already. Oops.

Dress, H&M
Cardigan, Gsus
Headband, gift
Pearlnecklace, gift
Tights, Steps
Ankleboots, Dior

Curls, flowers and old boots

I had some problems with the flash the other day, so the pictures turned out a bit vague or with too much flash... This is the outfit I wore yesterday. I haven't posted it, because I wasn't feeling good. I had a huge headache, I was really nauseous and I was freezing. So I spended my whole evening in warm bed. Now I'm kind of wondering why I took my outfit shots outside, in the freezing cold. It doesn't make sense... And I'm glad I'm feeling better now! Even though I spended my day in my green monkey pj. Men, I really love my pj! Even though I bought two new ones today.

This was the first time I used my new camera to make my outfit shots. It's obvious I have to practice with it, because my shots haven't been so bad in ages. I think the last time that it was this bad, that it was in June or something. Let's hope it will get better over time.
