if it looks and smells like nothing, maybe it is nothing

yay me! i scored a 3,2 (out of 10) on my maths test. So now i'm kind of tied to making my maths homework ALL THE TIME, which is like... a lot. Luckily i've already found out what to score the next test (bigger!) to be sufficient again and it's only 6,4 or something
i guess scoring 8,2 and 9,7 for English doesn't really help your sucky maths mark

see y'all when i've caught up with all of the homework -and until i understand everything, that might take up most of my absence from social life-, until then my mum bans me from computer/television. I don't even get to see my boyfriend that often anymore!

fall lovin'

yes yes, i don't know about your climate-situation, but summer is definitely over for me. But fall lovin' instead of the notorious summer lovin', to me, is a perfectly applicable subsitute.

especially when is comes to this beauty:

back already

ok, well... i'm back. this is too much fun and somehow i seem to have some spare time already carefully put aside when i plan my entire day. somehow this is one of those moments i don't have to do anything -well, homework is always an option, but an option that is eliminated until the last possible minute-

yesterday (when i seemed to have time to do anything i wanted to, because it was friday) i went to Rotterdam.

at the Bijenkorf they had the 'Drie Dwaze Dagen'* where they say they have many things for less money. But, somehow they got me fooled because most of it was still for the normal price. Anyhow i bought very cute gloves-without-fingers, -i don't know what you call those in English, but they're called wanten in Dutch- by 55DSL. and a really fun wintercoat by MbyM, a Danish brand i had heard of before but had never seen anywhere, until i ran into this coat at Shopper.

ps. going away until sunday evening, see y'all!

*it means Three Crazy Days!

you know honey, this is not called summer

so, this afternoon, when i was at my boyfriends house, he asked me to go to the beach next saturday or sunday. so my immediate -and healthy- response was to notice the fact that we have left summer far behind already. none the less: of course i'm going with him!
but now thinking about it, going to the beach with windy cold weather has its charm -you know, like slight imperfection- and i am looking forward to it even more.


i kind of want to go for the "i'm-walking-around-in-barely-nothing-but-of-course-i'm-not-cold-look" in a flowy pale coloured top and soft short pants and beachy hair on which salty water has worked its magic (because that looks so awfully fashionable, cute undsoweiter, enzovoort.)

so now i'm kind of dreading the cold and planning on packing additional cardigans and/or jackets, but this sudden action is just one of the things that make me love him so dearly,

i like you, hat

something for you folks in holland to try:

Starbucks Substitude

i came up with this myself, since i love starbucks pretty much to death and the only starbuckses in holland are two at schiphol airport and one in at the nike company -only for people who work there-

since i heard starbucks in america wasn't doing so well, i bet if i lived there their problems would go away immediately.

but i had to come up with something so i bought all those instant-coffee products they had and just tried all sorts of stuff (milk, cinnamon, vannilla extract, even coconut)

but, i found my true love for mornings, afternoons, evenings and pretty much any other moment of the day in Caramel Latte -with the prescribed amount of water- and the rest of my life-size coffee mugs filled with plain milk.

all friends i have over and pour this coffee for almost immediately refer to the incredible taste of stabucks:

mission accomplished,

if you don't really know you're happy or not, just don't clap your hands

"Music is therapy for me." (Demi Lovato)

alphabeat - boyfriend usually this music to "happy" for me, but this does put a smile on your face

anouk - nobody's wife from our Dutch rock chick, really good for a little self confidence

coldplay - strawberry swing need i say more?

emiliana torrini - sunny road i think this'll stay my all time favourite ('cause though i call them all time, i've already had a few more of those...)

"Never go cheap on your bed or your shoes."

so I didn't.. i got those Gucci's! so what they set me back a little big, it was very good for my downish mood. just need to fix my camera so i can post some pictures of outfits and so on -including my brand new loveable boots-

ps. tonight my friends are cheering me up by taking me to the "filmhuis" (no, i don't mean the cinema, but it's some bit smaller and more artsy and unknown movies)

united we stand

crave or save?

ps. sorry for the crappy quality of the Gucci's... -not that it takes away any of its beauty-

and they call it...

one of the winter collections i absolutely adore is Gucci. usually this is not really my style, but i'm all about the bohemian-classy look.

the Gucci Hysteria Python Bag is definitely loveable and can be paired with anything -unfortunately it clashes with my bank account, but that doens't destroy my vivid daydreams of carrying this beautiful work of art down the street-

ps. more to come
