Week recap

1

Stairs at work

2. View from my desk at my dad's house :)  (the grey/white one)

3. Little monster

4. Some Iphone shopping

5. Romwe order

Alright, my busy times trying to keep up with school aren’t over yet, but I’m getting there. Only one week to go… As you have read my days only involved books and reading…These pics where taken over the last week.

1.Wearing; Mango blazer (old collection), MET jeans, Zara top

2. View from my desk, the skyline of Leeuwarden, actually looking at my dad’s house when I work (not always motivating ;) ) But a very nice view when you are working all day and all of the sudden you look outside and see a beautiful rainbow lighting up the sky

3. Because of the lack of time (and just lazyness ;) I treated myself on a Mac menu..with a McFlurry Stroopwafen (LOOOOVE them!!!!) My sneaky little monster tried to taste it herself when she tought I wasn’t paying attention...  ;)

4.  I got my new IHoney (nickname for my Iphone, my previous BlackBerry was called BlackBirdy...I just love to name phones, laptops, so I can talk to it: ‘Please Bob (laptop), that is not what I said you have to doooo!!!’) this week!  Of course I had to do some shopping to make it as comfortable as possible for her, so after a long search I decided to but a transparent case for now. I also bumped into these items at the HEMA. A case and a screenprotector...which both didn’t work for me. The case was waaaay to tight, couldn’t get my phone in OR out..a real struggle... The screenprotector was a disaster! You have to stick it on your screen and make sure there are no bubbles...but I know thats is just me, every time I saw a little bubble, a little dust part, took it off, tried again, and again and again.. And then I gave up! Hahah! I will try it another time ;)

5. Ordered this jumper at Romwe, I purchased a beige one a while ago and just love the way it fits. (Reminds me I have to upload a pic of it..soon!)   

Have a nice day!

'Today I feel like not doing anything’...

Too bad for me... it won’t be like one of the lines of my favorite songs. My days involve lots and lots of coffee, reading and repeating, reading..My nights are sleepless because I’m still trying to remember what I have to learn..It’s crazy!  So I wish it was like the pic above…too bad for me this is where I have to spend my time with..

It's all about books...

No outfitpics, no orders, no nothing…Really have to study..But I got my Iphone 4s (her nickname; Ihoney,hihi), received my Romwe order ( See previous post ), my Zara bag, and ordered something else..Soon a update, now back to my books…Blegh!

Have a lovely relaxed evening! :)

Just ordered

Just ordered these for my MOM! Really! Haha! She is actually very fashionable. Before the overknee-boots were a trend she was already wearing them. I ordered them in 2 sizes, hopefully one of them don’t fit her, but fit me, hihi!

I also ordered this bag! I’m always searching for the perfect black bag; you can’t have enough of them, right? 

Have a lovely day!

Bag&Boots; Zara

Gray matters

Some Sunday pics in FRONT of my closet. After my exams I plan to rearrange my entire home. Will be trying to create some more closet space (verrry necessary). I have way too many shoes, jeans and other stuff... Maybe I can arrange a ‘shop-my-closet’... just realising...

Anyway, try to change my bedroom by letting the closet face the other way, create some room between the wall and the doors and try to fit in an IKEA bookcase to store my shoes. Already have them stored in shoeboxes in a bookcase, but I just have to many (maybe I should try to wear them more so I can throw them away eventually... ;) ) But AFTER the exams...should focus on that first.. I always think of projects like this when I really should be learning the course material... After the previous time I had exams I painted my whole house and the one before I bought a coffee table witch I sanded and painted glossy white.. Don’t know why, think it is some sort of denial... hihi!

So wearing all grey, love it instead of my beloved all-black. Bit lighter, right? ;)

And finally wearing my DIY Ankleboots ! Yay! What do you think of them?

Wearing; HM Supersqin, HM blazer, gray tanktop, DIY ankleboots

Magazine upload

I finished my education for Interiordesigner quite a while ago, but when I was asked to write an article for Eigen Huis & Interieur (a Dutch interior magazine), I just couldn’t refuse. What a great possibility! I always loved to read this magazine and daydream that someday I would live in a home looking like that! So I collected the info I received from the editor and started reading about the brands the men represented I had to interview.

I interviewed the director of Vibiemme Domobar Netherlands A Dutch manufacturer that makes professional coffee-machines designed for home use.

When I heard I had to interview the SMEG director I got the biggest smile on my face. Don’t know if you know them but they make the most awesome kitchen supplies! Maybe you know those fifties fridges? That’s SMEG!  Watch it here Smeg 50 style.

I also interviewed the director of Subzero-Wolf , a company that sells wine climate cupboards. These cupboards can be used as a storage for wine to get then on the right temperature. 

I also interviewed the director of Viking Range. Viking designs kitchens like you see in a restaurant, but one that you can use at home. Very professional, but useful. Viking started with a design from the first founder of the company. The American married couple Karl inherited a stove, When it didn’t work anymore they tried to find a second one as good as the previous one. When they couldn’t find one mister Karl started drawing and designing one for their own use. Eventually it grew out to a company worldwide. 

As an introduction of the new lay-out of the magazine EH&I made this little movie, really fun to see!

Because I never uploaded the whole article (you can read earlier posts about it) I tried to scan it. They are in Dutch, hopefully you get the picture ;)  

The day it was published I was very nervous. That morning a ran to the local bookshop. I almost JUMPED inside...too bad for me, it wasn’t delivered yet. Somewhat disappointed I walked back home for a cup of coffee. And then I heard a small ‘thump’ on my doormat. And there it was! A lovely pink enveloppe. AND I’m in it!!!

Actually, I never read it. Not like you would think I should do. Once, a few weeks after the publishing date (it was published in October), my mom sat me down with a cup of coffee. She handed me the magazine and disappeared into the kitchen. I scanned the words quickly, and have to say I was a bit relieved. TThey weren’t changed much these, where my words!  :)

For the scanned Dutch version, hope you can read it;

Neeeed nude

Last night I was cuddling up with a cup of goodnight-tea, a quilt and my cat to watch my ‘bible’, SATC. I just love the quotes, New York, the lifestyle that is portrayed and of course the humour! I actually catch myself laughing up aloud when one of them had a great one-liner. And I have to admit, I even tear up sometimes.  And the episodes where Mr. Big appears? Verrrry recognizable ;)

Anyway, I watched the episode when Berger breaks up with Carrie over a post-it. At the end of the scene I had an epiphany. I NEEEED nude shoes!!!!

So, no time to hesitate, ordered these right away!

Actually, I love these too! But they’re out of stock every time I try to order...   

                                           

Problem is, I’m very tall, 178 cm…Cute if you are a model, not so cute if you just want to survive daily life. So, when wearing shoes like these I literally rise above everyone… Very annoying when you have a ‘thing’ for high heels.

But it is like Carrie said;

 “It's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes!”  

Right? ;)

Have a lovely day, x

Feel free to leave a comment, really would like to know what you think of this blog :) 

Shoes; H&M

Good excuse for some online shopping...

:D

With this terrible weather the last few days there isn’t much a girl can do other than do a little online shopping right?

.I recently discovered Romwe.com, an online shop started as a vintagestore on Christmas eve in 2010. I’m not sure what to think of it, are they all KO? I’ve been reading a lot about it by other bloggers, some of them even sponsored by Romwe... Nothing wrong with that! So I’ve applied, thing is that you have to have at least 2000 followers, so maybe a future plan ;)  

This what I ordered;

Ofcourse a new leather jacket, can’t have enough of them! After my Marktplaats disaster where I was scammed (see previous post) I had to have a new one that feels right. Good excuse. Then I stumbled over this coffee shirt, the name was actually the reason to take a second look...Love it! The colour of it is a different then all of the other beige/brownish tees i have seen. Think it will look exceptional with some over-knees and black leather jeans!  Hope to receive it soon!

Xx.

BIGage

Hiding my frizzy wet hair, looking like a hiphopper, hihi!

Suiting up for a day at the spa with my girlfriends. Finally some ‘warmth’!

 I never was a big fan of walking in a robe, with no makeup, but after trying it once I was hooked. We always try to pick a spa that is near, so we don’t have to drive so far, but pick one that is not filled with people we know. I once spotted my supervisor from a company I worked for, in a robe (thank god!!) but it was really awkward! We kept trying to pretend we didn’t see him, ducking behind plants and staring in the other direction if he walked by, you can picture it... And the next day at work...Not so fun.. hihi

For this day was a comfortable outfit necessary. So; harempants, boots, easy tee, sunnies (to hide my makeup free face) and a really comfy coat, good to go!

I finally had an excuse to use my very beloved, but not often used, vintage doctor bag. It is way too big to use every day, so this was the perfect occasion! I keep wondering who used it. Maybe it was a young girl, living in the ‘30ies..Or maybe it was really used as a doctors bag...Who knows?

Some Spa essentials; 

Garnier Repair Bodylotion the Canadian formula (love the scent AND anti-dehydration), facial towels from Etos (remind me of the scent of Victor and Rolf Flowerbomb) flipflops, Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Deep repair hair mask (saves my hair everytime), vasline, sunnies, Nivea Pure handlotion, bottle of water, towels and NO watch!! Jeeej! 

Wearing ; Harempants Vila, boots, tee HM, Bench coat

A REALLY freezing blonde

*Schiet op met die foto, ik bevries, ik bevrrrries....*

A really ‘Freezing Blonde’ today! OMG, I couldn’t even feel the tips of my fingers and toes! I was shooting some pics with 'my favourite person'. He was taking pics of nature while I was enjoying nature sitting on a bench smoking a cigarette ;). After some really quick outfitpictures (which didn’t  work out the way I had in mind because of the cold, the wind and the sunset), we hurried back home, into the warmth!  I love my leather jacket and gloves, but after 10 minutes I was sooo jealous of everyone with REAL winter coats...

Photo’s were made by Ammer and me

Wearing: Leather Jacket Vero Moda, Catwalk Junkie tee, HM leather gloves, blazer&supersqin, unknown ankleboots, Pieces bag, Divided sjawl

All zipped up

This was what I was wearing to my appointment for my internship. I’m already hired, but today I had to sign the contract. In February this year I will start at the marketing department of a big Dutch insurance company.   Bit worried how I will combine it with my other job (also at an insurance company, hihi), I will be working 56 hours a week... I’m sure I will survive, but it will be busy busy!

 I just love to braid my hair a little bit different than other people do. Sure we have the herringbone braid, the normal braid and all the other versions, but this is the only one my hair won’t curl like a mermaid if I untangle it. And it gives a ‘messy’ look J

Again all black, but with a lot of zippers!
It is all about the details right?

Wearing: HM tee, Selected/ Femme blazer, Bershka jeans, Zara Blazer, Diveded sjawl, Shick* shoes

The only way is up...

 

I know! I hate them to... those pictures made in a mirror! But unfortunately I had no photographer to take today’s outfit pics. This is the reason I waited so long to start a blog myself. These were taken on my way to work. The good thing was that they were very easy to take, the only thing I had to do is take the elevator two times, haha! Every time I heard the ‘DINGG’ of the elevator I was scared one of my colleagues was on the other side of the door catching me taking photos with my BlackBerry.  That would be a little awkward...

So I can’t promise I won’t do any self made pics anymore, but I will try to avoid them. The only way is up right?

Just another black outfit, I just can’t resist wearing all black when the bad weather!

I’m wearing my DIY grey ankleboots (they are really grey, but look a little bit greenish in the first pic), grey H&M blazer, Zara tee, H&M Supersqin (just addicted to them), Vero Moda leather jacket and Divided shawl. In my hand my BlackBerry phone case, just a small purse from H&M but it fits my Berry perfectly!
