Saying goodbye to 2009

To end this year in a decent way on my blog I'm going to write about the things that happened this year to me. This year was to me about fun, love, friendship, chaos, stress and a lot of shoes. Let's look back to everything that happened!

January:
This year started with shopping in Amsterdam with boyfriend! Got a lot of new stuff. I went to The House of Viktor & Rolf in December where I made a lot of photo's and showed them to you.
I wore one of the dresses I bought in Amsterdam and it was my favorite dress of that month! Got about 3 new pairs of shoes that month and bought way too many clothes from Ilovevintage.nl. Huge addiction.

February:
I started with doing interviews with very stylish girls and got new things for my room. Got 2 new pair of shoes among a pair Dr. Martens. Made a new dress for myself and showed my shoe collection. For the rest nothing interesting happened that month.

March:
March was the month were I posted the most this year. After that it just all went downhill. I got that month again a lot of new dresses from Ilovevintage.nl. I was craving over a dress from Heaven & Earth which I still got in the end! Got my first pair of See by Chloé heels and finished a dress for school. Also got a pair of Miu Miu's and a pair of Prada's that month. Always wanted those Miu Miu's in May of 2008 but didn't bought them then. And I won the style contest on Ilovevintage and got a giftcard from them where I bought (another) dress from.

April:
That was the month my internship started and that I went to Antwerp with school. Got 4 pairs of shoes that month. Geez, a lot... It started to get warm outside again and we could walk around with bare legs and arms. And I was still waiting for my bed. I also found out that Cameron Diaz had the same shoes as me, haha.

May:
That was the month my blog existed exactly one year! It was also the month my internship was busy and I was tired a lot and didn't really posted much.
Bought again a lot of dresses from Ilovevintage.nl and got my first pair of Viktor & Rolf wedges! Also got 2 other pair of shoes. Too many shoes... Did an interview with Stephanie, who's kind of my style icon!

June:
In that month my dad painted my room without my permission. In the meantime I already got used to it, but at the moment itself I wasn't so pleased with it. Had some problems at school with some girls and felted an outcast. I still do actually, but it doesn't bother me anymore. Ordered again a huge amount of clothes on Ilovevintage.nl (I think you can compare this addiction to smoking) and I went to Evi for a long weekend. Saw The Proposal with her and we both laughed our behinds off.

July:
The first thing that happened in July was a disastrous haircut. Way too short. Though it was good for my hair, I wasn't pleased with it. But it was nice when I was in Italy, due to the hot weather! Did a lot of shopping there with Evi, since Evi and I went on vacation together. Also got 3 pair of new shoes. They were all in the sale. I held a favorite outfit contest and Ariella was the winner.

August:
August was all about London and Lowlands! I went a long weekend to London (where I got a pair of amazing Miu Miu ankleboots) with my dad and I went to Lowlands with boyfriend. August was seriously the best month of this year. It was vacation, I went to one of my favorite cities, shopped at the Dahlia store where I bought a lot and went to my favorite festival with boyfriend where we saw my favorite artist Lily Allen! I still want that month back... Even though I go a huge cold because of the cold nights at Lowlands. At the end of August school started again *sigh*.

September:
In September I did a Q&A post and got a lot of questions which I was happy to answer! I had still a lot of old outfits to show, so because of that I didn't made a lot of new outfit shots. Went to the beach with my dad and he took outfit shots for me for the first time! I showed how my room looks and boyfriend got a new kitten called 'Anna'. She was so cute, now she's just aggressive in a fun way. And at the 29th of September it was my birthday! I turned 18. So old... But I did got my Givenchy ankleboots for my birthday!

October:
In October I celebrated my birthday in Amsterdam with my family and boyfriend's parents + brother. I got the best cake ever! I still want a second piece from that cake... I ordered a lot of things on Asos.com from Dahlia from my birthday money! And some things on the official Dahlia site. Showed more photo's that I made in London and boyfriend helped me making outfit shots.

November:
November was so busy with school. Full of stress. That was why I had such a problem with making photo's and posting new things. I shortened several dresses and finally wore my butterflies tights here on my blog! Got a pair of new Viktor & Rolf booties and also already bought my Christmas present, because my dad didn't had the time.

December:

And now here we are in the last month! Another month full with stress and worries. Didn't bought a lot, but what I bought I absolutely loved. Got a beautiful new desk and got 3 pair of shoes this month. It snowed soooo bad and travelling by or bus was hell. Evi was here for a long weekend and that was the best weekend of whole December!
And ofcourse there was Christmas! After Christmas boyfriend and I went shopping in Amsterdam.

Happy new year to everyone!!!
Be careful ;)

The rest of my new buys

The Chloé wedges! Not a new buy, but a present from my dad for Christmas. One of the best shoes I own.



I've been lusting over these for a little while and now I finally got them! And for the half of the normal price. That's how we do that, haha. They're from Vanilia.

2 cute necklaces that I bought in a store called 'Darling' in Amsterdam


A cardigan from H&M. I already had a black cardigan, but that cardigan is rather simple. This one has fun sleeves!


This dress is also from the H&M it makes me feel so pretty. It's so flow-y and all.


This is my Carrie dress. You know, the one Carrie Bradshaw wears in the begin tune from Sex and the City. I seem to love everything light pink these days...

And the last thing from the H&M is this skirt! It's a bit too big in the waist, but perfect on the hips. Good thing I can do something about that!

Ok, not a new buy, but a new project. This is the beginning of a dress I'm making for myself! Hope it's going to look good.

Outfits I never posted before part 3 (final)

New old looks. They're horrible!

With love

I'm going to write this post very fast, since I have to go! Didn't wanted to go without posting something new. I hope everyone had a great Christmas (I know I did, although I didn't had a Christmas feeling) and I'm going to edit this post tonight! So expect more photo's and some new buys! Here are already 2 photo's from my outfit with my new tights! Love them so much. See you tonight (I hope)!

Edit:
I'm back home again! What a day. Did some more shopping. Went shopping last Sunday with boyfriend in Amsterdam. It pretty much sucked when it came down to nice things. Didn't really found something interesting, except for a dress, a top, skirt and 2 necklaces. Ok, it is something, but I saved my money for a whole shop session! And a shop session means at least 3 dresses, haha. But I got 2 new dresses today, a cardigan, a skirt and new shoes! And yesterday I also got a new skirt. So I still got some nice new things! I really can't complain.
And before Sunday another new dress arrived from Topshop! I adore it. Can't stop wearing it. Oh and I can't forget the things I got for Christmas. Finally got my Chloé wedges that I told about a while ago! Got them from my dad and I got a Wii from my mom! I actually got the Wii from my mom because she wanted one, haha. She used me as an excuse to get it, the sneaky little thing. Not that I mind, because I got addicted to it! You have no idea how bad my muscular pain is right now!
But I'm going to stop writing now, otherwise I'll write too much (if it isn't too much already)! Just going to post the rest of the photo's!

H&M cardigan
Dahlia dress and belt
Thrifted bow
Necklace was a present

And now my latest buys!

On the left is the Topshop dress and the right dress is vintage.

The left skirt is from H&M and the right skirt is from Just Female

And I got this leather skirt from my mom. She wore it when she was in her thirties!

The rest of the photo's will come soon! It's too dark to get the other things decent on photo. Good night everyone!

The snow arrived

Last year I wished we had a white Christmas and now I'm sick of all the snow. We can't do anything! It's terrible if you need to travel by train and it's dangerous to travel by car. So Evi is still here! Not that I mind! We're having so much fun. Last Saturday we went to Amsterdam to the Bijenkorf and ofcourse to the huge Christmas tree at De Dam! We both got some shoes. After the shoeshopping we went to the Christmas tree to make some photo's and to eat a hot dog. Sunday we went to a Japanese restaurant with my dad and a good friend of the family and yesterday plus today existed out of doing nothing. Just ran around in the snow today and made some photo's of the house with all the snow. It has something fairytale like!

Now I'm going to stop writing, so here are all the photo's from today and this weekend.

H&M coat, cardigan and tights
Vintage lace shirt and boots (Ilovevintage.nl)
Evi skirt (also vintage)
Necklace and scarf were both a gift
Claire's bow

Here are 2 photo's from De Bijenkorf and from the shoes I got!

The Christmas tree in De Bijenkorf itself!

And now... The Shoes I got there in the sale! 50% off is always nice. Finally got the Stella McCartney booties I already wanted for a while!



And new Givenchy's

Plus I got a new chair! I absolutely adore it.

And as last some randomness. I don't think I will post something new before Christmas. So I hope everyone will have an amazing Christmas and hopefully I'll still see you before the new year! Don't eat too much ;)

Snow angel!

Christmas vacation

Today (well, actually since yesterday afternoon secretly) my Christmas vacation started! All the things I had to do for school are done and my stress is completely gone. I'm feeling really relaxed.
It started snowing from Wednesday on Thursday night and all the snow looks so pretty, but it's a pain in the behind when you have to travel. There was in total 678 (I believe) km of traffic. One of the most busiest days on the road ever. And travelling by train or bus wasn't so pleasant either. Almost all my trains were delayed with 30 minutes or more. That's why I went home earlier, so I wouldn't had all these problems in the evening when it was more busy with people.

But Evi will be here today and the rest of the weekend! Will be going to Amsterdam just like every year to make a photo in front of the big Christmas tree at De Dam. Photo's will come after the weekend!

Now I'm going to post today's outfit and I'm going to be busy with making a dress for myself ^^
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Warm knee socks to keep my legs warm ^^

Anna van Toor cardigan
Self-made dress
Ilovevintage birdcage necklace
Bonnie Doon knee highs
Fornarina heels
Vintage bow

Christmas has also finally arrived in my dad's house!

This is what I saw yesterday morning.

Sorry that it's so blurry

And here some of my most favourite things of the moment

Escape the Fate

So yesterday evening I've been to Escape the Fate in Amsterdam at the Melkweg! They were fucking amazing! I don't have a photo from the outfit I wore yesterday, but I do have one from somewhere last week.

And 2 more last things. The stress is almost gone and the Christmas vacation is almost here!! That means that Evi will be here this Friday! I seriously can't wait till it's so far.

Vintage lace top and bow
H&M Divided skirt
The necklace and scarf were gifts
Prada heels

And here's my favourite song from Escape the Fate! It isn't a music video though. I'm afraid you really have to like music like this, otherwise you'll really dislike it.

Sleeeeeep

Tired, busy, school, stressed, sleep, bed, tired, school, stress, assignments, too much.

Those are the words running through my mind the past couple of weeks. These are the moments I want to quit my education. But no worries, I won't. Just want to.
I will have one of my English final exam tomorrow morning. Don't want to! I want to sleep.
Good night everyone and I hope I will still be alive tomorrow evening.

H&M cardigan and shorts
Designers Remix blouse
Vintage belt
Steps tights
Fornarina heels
Scarf was a gift
Necklace was also a gift

Christmas is arriving!

Today my mom and me got a Christmas tree! Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year (as most of you already know I guess) and I never can wait to decorate our tree! Sadly enough it isn't possible yet, because it needs to stand for a day without the decorations in it. So I think I'm going to decorate it tomorrow or Tuesday. Just depends on how many time I have.

But now I'm going to make some tea, get something sweet, put on my pj's and I think I'm going watch a film in my warm bed! Or I'm going watch Fringe... Haven't decided that yet. But this is what I wore today (though I didn't wore the shoes when we were picking out our Christmas tree). Just one more thing. It was getting dark when I took the pictures, that explains the bad lightening.

H&M dress (it's new by the way! What do you think of it?)
The jacket was a gift
Vintage grapenecklace
Other necklace was a gift
H&M studs belt (though now I'm thinking I should have left it)
Claire's bow
Miu Miu patent patchwork pumps (one big love)
