Chanel knowledge

Bonjour,



So last post I told ya about my obsession with Chanel. And since I love Chanel so much I’ve learned a lot about the bags. I thought to myself 'why not share your knowledge with readers of Twotimes?' So here we go:

-Chanel is commonly known for her Classic flap bags. Probably you’ve seen these before with the Chanel CC lock.

- These classic flapbags are available in different sizes:

Mini
East/West flap (E/W)
Small
Medium/Large (M/L)
Jumbo
Maxi

-The bags are produced out of caviar or lambskin leather. Lambskin is more expensive and is very soft, but will also be faster damaged.

-You can choose between SH or GH. These stand for Silver Hardware and Gold Hardware.

-There’re a lot of colours, like black or bright pink. The classic bags also have a lot of limited editions. For example the newest Soho collection, to celebrate the reopening of the Soho Chanel store. For these kind of limited edition bags are long, very long, waiting lists.

-Chanel has besides the Classic flap bags also the WOC (Wallet on chain), PST (Petite Shopper Tote), GST (Grand Shopper Tote) and even more models.

-Chanel bags are the cheapest à Paris (Rue cambon) and most expensive in London.



-The classic flap bag is also known as: Chanel 2.55. Ever wondered why it was named like that? Simple: Coco Chanel created this bag in february (2) 1955 (’55). The bag got reintroduced in 2005 as the Chanel reissue and it became one of the it-bags of all time!

-Chanel bags are always made in Paris or Italy. If not? Then you’ve a fake one!

-A Chanel is recognized by it’s quilted diamond structured material. Coco Chanel was best known for her quilting techniques. She loved and was inspired by horse racing. These jockey’s wore quilted jackets.

-Some flap bags have a single flap others double flaps. Double flaps are more expensive. The same is true for back pockets.

-Your lovely Chanel can of course be accessorized with some charms, available at your nearest Chanel shop.

As soon as I’ve my Chanel bag I’ll show it you guys!

Love,

Milou

And there we were again!

Hi,


And then we were a few months, two months to be exact, furthur without any news from both of us! So time to update Twotimes!

Well my life (Milou) is rather ‘easy’. Just relax and work. No school, no study. But it’s kinda odd, I just can’t find satisfaction in it. So probably I need to find a hobby or something.

But my life isn’t that boring as it sounds. For my work I get every single day an invitation. I already got invitations for events like make-up and book presentations, fashionshows like Burberry Prorsum during London Fashionweek and Milan Fashionweek and also a formal ball in Milan. So exciting! Unfortunately, because of my fears and stuff, I was unable to visit most of these things. But I'm planning on going to the famous 'Press days' in Amsterdam, sponsored by the Public Relations agencies.

So I already got my first cold this season, hopefully I’m done for this year ;-)! Yesterday I felt a lot better, thanks to the great weather. It was about 20 degreece! But since my last post, where I told that it was so hot, we had some terrible weather this summer! It was d-r-e-a-d-f-u-l!

My buddy Luke started her study Journalism in Utrecht. And that’s why I don’t see her that much anymore, I feel very sorry about that. I hope I’ll see her soon, miss her like crazy! *No I’m not obsessed*. Perhaps she will tell you soon about her experiences in her ‘new’ life.

Talking about obsessions: I do have an obsession. I’m crazy about getting myself a Chanel E/W flap. I saved up for it and I’m finaly able to get it! It’ll be in black with Silver Hardware. Can’t wait to go to Amsterdam and get my hands on the beloved bag.

Do I forgot something important to tell? Hm, I don’t come up with it right now... So I’m going to watch Gossip Girl.

xoxo,

Milou

Warm

Hi,

How are you?! I’m good, but god what’s it warm! It’s about 30 degreece and I’m melting I’m ‘death’ serious. So while it was friday very warm outside, I decided to get inside to read the Vogue with a fresh glass of water, and the Vogue is amazing thank you Luke once again! Anyways when it was 4 o’ clock everyone in The Netherlands knew what was going to happen: Netherlands against Brazil in the quarters of the WC 2010! And... we won! Amazing, isn’t it?! And in the beginning, Brazil scored after 7 minutes and then it was like... Allright nice try but we’re never gonna win. But we did and I’m proud on the team, they did an extremely good job on beating these egocentric Brazilians!
And while on the other side of the world people are throwing fireworks to Dutch people, we’re celebrating this with the famous vuvuzelas and some traditional cheese.

As you might have seen, Luke changed the sidebar, because we both graduated! And we’re both going to college. Luke is going to study journalism, I am going to study Media, information and communication. We’re thinking about getting a room together and some other girls in Utrecht which is very central for us. We might had found something but I got an message that the room wasn’t quit what we wanted, so the searching will go on but I’ll keep you posted.
The future is near, popped just in my head. I mean it seems like yesterday that I was young and going for the first day to high school. I was very small with a huge backpack and tried to make my way into high school world, I felt then like I was becoming adult but right now it feels like a time where I was young and fresh, right now I feel like becoming old. Offcourse this seems odd, I mean 18 years old- young- isn’t the time to think about these things but yet again sometimes it’s good to be thankfull to be happy and young and stuff because it makes you graceful.

Enough serious stuff. I wanted to share one last thing. Yesterday evening I also watched the cliffhanger of GTST which is a soap and this was the cliffhanger and it was so bad, omg what happend with this serie. For those who want to see, here it’s:



Love

Love is Sweet

The Deathly Hallows

For all the Harry Potter fans who are not paying attention to the offical site or who haven't had the possibility to go on the internet for about a week: here is the offcial Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Movie Trailer (including sneek peaks from both part 1 and part 2).



Lots of Love Luke

Say you don't want it.

The British band One Night Only, famous because of their single Just for Tonight, released the musicvideo for their song Say you don't want it. I decided to post this video because it is featuring Emma Watson and I really like it (both video and music). The video has a Lady and the Tramp theme and was filmed in New York.
The lead singer of the band, George Craig, met Emma Watson during a Burberry campaign and they lately revealed that they are in a relationshop since then.
Enjoy the video and of course the music!



Lots of Love Luke

I like my money where I can see it - hanging in my closet

Hi!



So long time no see! I've been very bussy after I finished my exams with my occupation and some random stuff. Anyways it was about time I was going to update!

So let me first start off with the fact that- I graduated! I'm very happy with the results and that I'm finaly done! So I celebrated it with my friends and family from whom I got such a sweet presents- thank you- and it's been a great day. From my parent I'll get a Tiffany and co. bracelet but we need to pick it up in Amsterdam which we'll do as fast as possible.

So about Amsterdam, I got already a few invitations for upcoming Fashion Week and I'm looking very forward to it, probabley I'll go early in the morning so I've the ability to shop and to shoot some outfit shots so stay tuned! I'll also post some photo's of the events.

As you know I'm in a total crush with fashion and designers, I read every single fashion magazine like Vogue in French, English but also in Italian- Luke thanks again for the Vogue, It's fab-tastic- so right now I'm bussy with keeping up with the latest trends from this fall while in the Netherlands the weather turned out to be fantastic, how odd! Anyways as I said, I love fashion and so I love shopping, especialy expensive designer items and I bought two of these in the last couple of days. First of I bought a Missoni scarf and... I bought very real Louboutins and they will arive here very soon! I can't wait to have them on my feet, the most perfect pair I've ever met.

Yesterday I had a great day with Luke, we went to Wielermeer which is a nice sort of 'beach', altough the weather was amazing the water was pretty cold, haha. But we went trough with it and I'm glad we did. After some swimming we just picked up with the sun, eat delicious fruit, drinks and une banquete avec la fromage! Offcourse we also had the perfect dose of fashion with us- which means magazines!

Now I'm off watching football. And yeah Netherlands are with the best eight of the world, hup Holland hup!

Nothing on earth to do

It is almost a month ago since the laste time I posted an article. Of course I couldn't write in Canada (because there was simply no internet) but, unfortunately, the other two weeks I have been busy with nothing. I don't know if you understand what I mean with my last words so let me explain; I'm always busy, even when there is nothing on earth to do, because I make myself believe that there is always something I have to do. And there is not much I can do about it. Sometimes I succeed in relaxing for half a day, but most of the time... I can't hold this relaxing any longer than an hour. Holidays to foreign countries are the only exception. I don't know why but when I'm abroad I can fully relax (if given the possibility), but that makes it even harder when I get back in the Netherlands.
My residence in Canada was absolutely amazing, I really like it there, except for the fact that the part where I stayed (about 200 km north from Toronto) was in some ways really American. On the other site, though, I really liked it because I never been to America and thought that this kind of stuff only existed in movies.
The only thing I have to do now is find a balance between the things that I want to do and the things I have to do.
Lots Of Love Luke
ps: the girl on the picture is Shakira.

Airplanes and milky legs.

Hi Everyone,

So guess what, I finished my examnations and I'm already stressed about a lot of other things, like my study, but more recently my journy and flight to Canada.
There are so much things you have to remember and think about, how much luggage you can bring with you for example. And the biggest issue: what am I going to bring? I already made a list, which contains a lot of stuff like 'toothbrush' or 'pyjamas', and more important things like 'passport' or 'laptop', but I still have this tiny little voice in the back of my head which says that I'm forgetting something. Something really important. And that is reaeaeaeally stressful.
Anyway, I'm flying Friday so I still got plenty of time to think about the things I forget or need to bring with me. Of course I'm not going to spend my time thinking about airplanes and luggage, it's also time for me to relax a little and enjoy my long summer holiday. And the fact that the temperatures in Canada are getting high makes it only better. I really need to tan a bit more, gosh my legs are milky.
Lots Of Love Luke

I Amsterdam

Hi everyone!



Long time, no see! I was very bussy with school and finished yesterday my last exam! It was English and I got something between a 6,4 and a 8,4! So that's okay. I had 7 exams in total and it's been very busy and hard but I'm glad that it's over and that I made the finish!

Luke thank you for keeping Twotimes up to date! How went your English exam?

Today I'm going to my work in Amsterdam and I'll go pick my Exam present (If I succeed offcourse!). I'm going in an hour. So do you have any plans for the weekend or do you already have, like me, holidays?

I got also a few days ago the H&M guide and I've to say: I want it all! I love it! Especialy a flower dress.

I'll write soon another update which won't lack on interesting topics. But I've to go right now!

Talk to you later!

Kisses,

Milou

People Tree Loves Emma

.


I decided to write a second article today when I read about a wonderful new project by Emma Watson on her stylish new website. In 2010 Emma collaborated with the Fair Trade Fashion Brand People Tree and became creative advisor who worked closely with People Tree's design team. The collection, which was launched this February, is easy to wear and the perfect solution when you want to dress simple, but look special. Some of the pieces even feature artwork created by Emma.
I think it's really beautiful when someone who has the possibility to change things, actually changes things in a good way. Emma supports a Fair Trade label by helping them create a stylish and pretty collection from which all rotalities will be donated tot the People Tree Foundation!
If you want to take a look at the collection or if you want to buy a piece, go to the following website: http://www.peopletree.co.uk/category/emma-watson/
With love, Luke.

Grey

Hi Everyone,

It is me, Luke, writing again. I'm in the middle of a lot of studying and learning but I really needed a break and I decided that I could spend it writing a blog.
I'm listening to 'Alice Theme' (from the movie: Alice in Wonderland, 2010) which is inspiring and beautiful. And is has something dark and magical...that makes me think of a photo I recently found:



I think it's a pretty picture. But of course that's personal, I mean I know a lot of people who'll like the next picture better:



Is it again a matter of darkness and light? No, I guess personal taste isn't black and white like good and bad, it is grey. It's in between, because everyone's personality has a different proportion of white and black, of good and bad, of light and darkness. This makes people so interesting, I think. This makes me want to understand every singel personality I meet. Of course that is a hopeless task, but I can try. We all try. We all try to belong to this world.
Lots of Love Luke

MTPS

Hello there,

It has been a really long time since I wrote you! Almost a month!
I was extremely busy with all my exams and I still am, Thursday is my last one (English). let's hope I'll pass them all.
The reason that I'm writing you is because I saw/read an article in 'H&M magazine, spring 2010' about MTPS: Model Turned Pop Star. The article tells us that it is a common matter for fashion icons to turn into pop stars. Supermodel Nico back in the sixties for example, she switched her modeling career for singing in 'The Velvet Underground'. "Today an new generations of models and it-girls are taking the step off the catwalks and up on stadge" the article says, for example: Coco Sumner (former Burberry model), Agyness Deyn (model), Kate Moss (model), Leigton Meester (actress, well known from Gossip Girl) and Taylor Momsen (also a Gossip Girl star). The last one, miss Momsen, has been really inspiring to me lately. Her rocking-style and original ideas made me gain interest for her musicial career.
When I first heard the song Make me wanna die, from her band The Pretty Reckless, I immediatly wanted to listen to it again (thank you Vera for let me listen to it). I also like the lyrics of the song; it's edgy, forceful and reminds me of rock 'n roll. For example: Taste me, drink my soul. Show me all the things that I shouldn't know. .
Anyway, you should check out some of those bands/ people like The Pretty Reckless, Leighton Meester (and her new electro-pop album), Coco Sumner and The Ghost of a Saber Toothed Tiger (Sean Lennon (!) and Charlotte Kemp Muhl).

Driven by the dark side? Or lucky to be in the light?

Hello everyone,

First; Milou I really like your hair(cut) and I like the photo you posted in your last blog. It's very good composed, balanced and a bit mysterious and dangerous!
I totally love a mysterious look, and I believe that we sometimes need a little danger to keep us going. Not only in pictures, in life too. We need a 'drive' or a stimulus and that could be danger. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say that we always have to be in danger to accomplish something, it just can help us a little.
I'm very often inspired by danger, but also by a scary situation, it's the dark side of life. Fear, danger, anger, sorrow and grief. Those dark sides give me insparation and next to that, the also tell me every time what a lucky person I am. To live here, in the save and secure Netherlands, to have enough money to eat and live in a house. To have loving parents, a big family and good friends.
I'm also lucky because I have a double vacation; I'm going to Canada and to England. I'm so glad I can go to both countries. I totally love England, it's my favourite place to be (till now). I like the people, the culture, the nature, the shops, the cities; London is my favourite city in the world, the villages and so on... But I haven't been to Canada yet and I would love to know more about this country... From what I hear from people, and from what I see on the internet, this country suits me very well... But I will tell you what it's like when I get back, or perhaps even when I'm there.
Lots Of Love Luke
PS: Picture; light and darkness can co-operate.

Make your own skirt!

Hi everyone,

How're you doin'?! I'm great, altough I just don't seem to be able to concentrate on the exams (I've to, come on: support me!), it was great weather today and wore my DIY (Do It Yourself) skirt! And offcourse I'm going to show it (see it as an OOTD):



I wear my own made skirt (love it!), tanktop from webshop ASOS, Mimic Copenhagen heels with phink socks in my heels (totaly Burberry like!) and my brand new real pearls necklace. Like it?

Wanna make your own skirt? Check this out:

A scarf as a skirt from afterDRK on Vimeo.

Oh and did you see (Luke?) that I've got bangs? Put them sideways most of the time, and I love it! Seriously the first time that I love my haircut (Since Friday I got it like this)

xoxo

Milou

Pop-out eyes

Note: Luke get well soon! Maybe I'll see you tomorow!!

Hi!

How are you today? I'm fine, bussy training for my exams. After finishing this blog I'll going on with Dutch, seems weird huh? Learning Dutch when you live in Holland. But I swear: these exams are hard, right Luke?

Maths is also a real pain in the but, but with a nice tutor it all will come fine.

Tomorow we we'll get our official grades tomorow I'll post them as soon as I got them. But I already know *sneaky* what my grades are. I failed only at one subject: Arts but that's a long story, which I can't explain to you because there are to many Dutch therms in it.

Today I tried something new with eye make-up: I used liqued eyeliner which makes your eyes pop-out. Do you want to see my result? ...Hmm I gues you want to see it, anways here it's:




Not as pretty as a model, I know. But hey at least I didn't use Photoshop...



Photoshop is a great thing, huh?! (See photo above)

How to write a blog (if you want to suck totally)

I decided to write again because I'm sick at home right now and I don't think I can't stand an other useless minute. I don't like it; 'doing nothing', I prefer 'being busy' the whole day.
The first thing you need when you are going to write a blog is some good music. It inspires you and stimulates your writing skills. I'm listening to Bright Eyes with Take it easy (love nothing) right now. Normally I don't listen often to this kind of music(I guess it's (underground)Britpop), but it reminds me of a lot of good things and it matches my mood.
When you've got the right music it would be a clever move to search for the subject you want to write about. The only problem here is that I(almost) never have any idea about what I'm going to write when I'm starting a blog. Most of my blogs are impulsive fantasies and ideas that pop up in my head (except for my Ray Ban's blog I posted yesterday!).
The last thing you need is a bit good luck. I'm waiting for it right now, some marvellous ideas, statements or stories.
Unfortunately I don't feel any of it coming. So I think I'm going to post a picture and leave this blog for today.
Lots Of Love Luke

Ray Ban

When I read Milou's blog about the OOTD, there where two words which immediately stroke me; Ray Bans. I can almost hear you think 'why is this sunglasses brand leaps out at you?'. Well, it's because I read a lot of books and saw a lot of movies where this brand in appears, but I never knew what Ray Bans lookt exactly. So I decided to do some investigation and found directly the brands official site. www.ray-ban.com showed me a lot of sunglasses, a lot of verey pretty sunglasses, the Ray Ban Tech sunglasses for example (click on the picture and you'll see the whole Ray Ban, not just a half):


But if this is a bit to much 'metal' for you, which I understand, there are a lot of other choices you can make. You can buy one with a softer look, or a shiny gold one or a pitch black one!



And quess what, they do all protect your eyes from the blazing sunlight in the summer. I can even say they are good for you; foor your eyes and for your looks!
I would like to end this blog with one of my favourite Ray Bans;

I like black!
Lots Of Love Luke

OOTD!

Hi guys!

How're you doing? I'm good, don't worry I'm not dead. I just wasn't in the mood for blogging, was very bussy with school and now I'm learning for exams. Plus: I also got an cold...

Anyways today I went outside: like come on! It's beautiful weather!! So I put my Ray-Ban Wayfarer on my nose (yes I got myself one!!), put my trenchcoat on and... my Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 went with me.

Anyways here is an OOTD (Outfit Of The Day), I kept prommising that I would post an OOTD soon, so finaly:



Soon another one!

xoxo

P.s.: I'm learning for my exams, do you have exams too? Let me know!

Little to share

Oh dear, we didn't keep you up to date at all, did we? I've got a lot to learn, writing this blog more often for example.
The problem about this is that I also have to update Twotimes when I'm totally inspireless, right now for instance. The best thing you can do when you're like this is posting something that you don't have to think about and which already exists, like a poem or pictures. I've got my poem-diary not at hand and I'm not in the mood to think hard now, so it's going to be a picture
The picture is a picture of Nina Dobrev, lovely Nina Dobrev. She has got a lot of beautiful and stylish pictures and I can't get enough of showing them to you.


This ís the only thing I've got to share with you right now. I'm sorry, next time it;s going to ne a bit more.

Powerful Pictures

I just figured that you could say that Milou's blogs are more fashion oriented and that mine going more about daily occasions, things which just pop up in my head and inspiration ( there is no short word for this xD). Of course is this not always the case, because Milou writes about a lot of different things too and I write sometimes about fashion, it's just a communal finding.

Next to my finding I'll show you some pictures I recently found. The first one is not necessarily a beautiful one, it's rather a picture which requires an explanation. It's a picture of one of the three series I'm watching; 24. It's a very tensive serie, about CTU agent Jack Bauer, which holds your attention the whole time you're watching it and gives you no single moment of rest. Because the serie is going to quit after the latest season, I wanted tot give a tribute to it by posting this picture. A tribute to 24.



Next picture I'm going to show you is a picture of Katerina Graham, who playes 'Bonnie' in The Vampire Diaries. I wanted to post this picture because I think it's pretty awesome. It shows power, and has that strong appearance which I really appreciate and totally envy.



The last picture is, in my opinion, a beautiful picture. I'm not going to tell you much about it, just look at it (if necessary click on it, so you can see it in it's real size) and let the picture speak for itself.

Economics it's so hard...

Hello my darlings,

How are you're doing? I hope you'll have a great easter-day!

I have unfortunatley a LOT of stuff to do in these last weeks. But I'm glad to announce that I'll do exams just as Luke! Woooh, I'm so glad that the hard work wasn't for nothing!
Next week is my finalweek, I'm working hard to finish the last stuff and one of these things is Economics and I HATE it right now. I just can't get myself go work on it for like an hour of three o.s.! It's annoying, I feel like I need to take break and that's why I started to blog.

But I'm not only going to blog about schoolstuff, NO! I wanted to show you something from which I think is really cute:

It's Fifi Lapin and she's the most fabulous and fashionable rabbit I've ever met:



Isn't she too cute and too fashionable? She even got more style then I've after years of experience with the world called Fashion.

So now I'm going to work on Economics, this wasn't meant to be a really long story, haha! But I've to say: I feel much better right now. I guess blogging is really healthy for a human being.

Happy easter everyone!

(Luke: Enjoy you're liberty for now!! xoxo)

P.s.: Bought Gossip Girl season 1 box, come check it out Luke! (or I'll bring it to you, I'll talk to you soon!)

The Library Feeling

'Long time, no seen' is a phrase I used for chapter 3 of my story. It's a phrase that also applies in this blog, because I didn't wrote you for a long time. Anyway, I don't want to talk about whether I write long time ago, or not. But I don't know about waht I do want to talk! First, I will tell you that I finished all my school examns (50% of my grades) and that I only have to do my central examns (the other 50% of my grades), which I'm quite happy about because the only thing I have to do now is; training. (central) Examnation-training... well that's no problem since there's is no presure from my school examns now! For the first time in my secondary school career I have an homework free Easter (holiday), well almost... there a some little training-thingies I have to do. And since I have simply nothing else to do than sitting on my ass, I decided to post you a little poem (made by mysel of course):

Lost.

Walls, left and right,
Black above, grey beneath,
Where can I find my daily meal?
Do you know where the nearest candyshop is?
Or perhaps the supermarket?
I need someone toe scream to,
Am I lost?

As you can see the poem calls lost and it goes about loosing your mind. I wrote it a half year ago, perhaps it makes no sense to you, I can imagine... But I actually like it, because it's so weird and wrote in that very moment, when I was loosing my mind. No worries, not loosing myself now, I just wanted it posted.
I have a feeling that I want to go to the library right now, but I have no idea why. Perhaps because I just read about it, I don't know, but maybe because I really like libraries, especially the very old-ones, and because I love books. I have this library feeling, you know... like you want to be locked in the library all day, just reading books... I prefer an library with high closets till the cealing and a wooden floor with here and there some cozy reading corners. Haha, I will keep my mouth shut about libraries right now, I think you might not feel the same I do!
Lots of Love Luke

Math is finished!

So today I finished my last exam of Maths! Unbelievable huh?! And you know what: Did it really well! Need to wait a week or so. untill I know what's my final point for maths. But I think it will be okay.

Furthur more I bought the DVD New Moon thanks to Luke for giving me some credit to buy the DVD, thanks hun!

Now I've to stop going to compose a song for music. And guess what?! I'll put it on youtube and post it here, so keep checking Twotimes!

Tomorow I've to study a lot but I'm also going to buy a Ray-Ban!! So the outfit pic is on it's way!

All had a nice day? Beautiful weather huh?!

xoxo,

Milou

P.s.: Lekker nummer dit:

Today is a wonderful day, well, if we're talking aout the weather; the sun is shining, temperatures are not bad and the winter finally seems to be over. But, next tot the weather, this day doesn't seem to be wonderful at all. I'm stuck in school, thinking about all the things I have to do, looking out of the window now an then, checking of the sun is still out there. I feel mindless and got no real idea of time and the people around me.I muse a bit... philosophizing about the world and about my life; what am I going to be? what am I going to do? And most of all; who am I and what do I want. I don't know, I can't get it right. It't like there's been put some kind of stop-sign in my head that ensures me that I can get no further than my geograph-homework (and I don't even want to think about that!).
I'm sorry that I don't write often, but I don't feel like wrting lately, I give it a try everyday and I know my writers-skills will return someday, but not now...
Lots of Love Luke

No rush,..

Hi Guys,
Long time ago (I seem to use these words a lot lately, but it's true; I do not write you often because I'm busy with school (examns), work and my social life (yes, I have one). But today I really felt like writing, on the one hand because I think I might have some inspiration, on the other hand bacause it's mu brothers birthday today and I don't know how but birthdays are my most relaxed days (I don't have to do anything in household because my parents are taking care of that most of the time and I'm not allowed to make homework because it's some-one birthday and you should do nice things at birthdays). I think taht this is not only a reason to write on twotimes, it's also a reason to do things you never do because you simply have no time for them, like; park a car prefectly next to the curb (two tires in the gutter) or baking a huge apple-pie. These things make me happy and make me feel I'm alive, I'm in no rush I can do things I want to do and I don't have to hurry all the time.
An Other thing that I do when I have time to do what I want is writing stories (of course I wirte blogs too), my latest story goes about a girl named Sky. I'll tell you more about that later because I can't summarize it when there isn't a sure plot. I have to work a little more on it (I finished the second chapter now, so a lot of work to do).
I just realised, while writing this blog, that there's just a week left to a new The Vampire Diaries episode! I'm so exited! So I decided to post a link to a trailer you have to see:

Canada

Hi Everyone,

I am very down right now and decided to write this blog because it will cheer me up, eventually. Today's subject is going to be: my trip to Canada. Yes, I', going to Canada, for two weeks, to my aunt who lives nearby Toronto (wel for her concepts, for me 250 km is very far away). I am so exited, I've never been out of Europe and I've never been on a plain too. It makes me happy to go there, I can't imagine what it's like. Perhaps it quite the same as in the Netherlands, but I don't think so. Beside the fact that the people there talk English, they also have different habbits and a culture and the wetter is quite different too. Where my aunt lives it's very cold and snowy in the winter but also hot and sunny in the summer and since we're (my mother and I) are going in after my graduation (which is in the summer)... I count on hotpants, singlets and sun-glasses! And... of course; some shpopping in Toronto! A very cool thing too, what realise right now, is that Nina Dobrev is raised in Canada and that a part of the Vampire Diaries is recorded there!
Have to go, Lots Of Love, Luke

Louis Vuitton is mine!

Hi,

So I wrote long LONG time ago so it's time to make up! But unfortunatley I don't have the time for it right now. But later today I'll try to post a outfit of mine combinated with my LV- bag which I received last friday! Wooohooo! ♪ I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, OOOOooooh!♫ Haha, no without kidding: love the bag it's my favourite from now on!


♫ Love this song! Why is this kind of music so much more inspirering then my music test I've in a few days?! ♪

But later tonight or else tomorow I'll show you my very first: outfit of the day! So stay tuned!

♫ Now I've got to work on music ♫♫, and yes it's death boring, can't concentrate, feeling that I lack at originality and that one thing that makes me go back to study! Where is that thing?! Who helps me to find it back?!

(only 9 days untill I'm 18 years old, mark that!)

xoxo,

Milou

Retrictions

Hi everyone,

Shame on me! I didn't wrote for such a long time!
Anyway, I am writing now, and I just decided that I want to talk to you about; loosing weight and eating patterns. This are two things I'm thinking about very much, or you can better say: I'm obsessed.
Don't worry, I don't have anorexia (at all) and besides; there are a lot of girls who are as obsessed as I am or (unfortunately) worse. But okay, to return to my point: I think that I am partly obsessed with weight and (especially) eating (patterns) because I am a very healthy girl. I can almost hear you think: right, but let me explain what I mean by healthy girl. With 'healthy' I mean free of well known addictions; I don't smoke, I don't drink, I am a vegetarian, and I eat a lot of vegatables, corns, fruit, and less sugar and chemical products. Yes, sounds good, I agree, but the last part, the eating part is very present in my head. What I mean is that I can't stop thinking about what I eat and I can't stop 'wanting to eat'. I have to restrict myself all the day, I want to eat every moment, but I wont allow myself to do that, I allow myself only one (sugar free)cookie or candy a day and not more than 3 meals a day. But I hate it that I can't stop thinking about eating, about healthy as well as unhealthy food. I hate the feeling that I have to restrict myself all the time, not only if it goes about food, I'm not allowing myself plenty other things, Like having fun before all my homework (and I mean: all of it!) is done or talking to nice people, because I thik they have a better time when I'm not arround. You can say I'm very much in control.
I am working on it, trying to leave the control-thing and let myself go. But is very hard to do, it may sound weird, but it is very hard to have senseless pleasure and let my thoughts not interrupt my 'light' state of mind. I have to keep in practise, luckily I got people who are helping and supporting me, it's easier when they're arround.

Lots Of Love Luke

Nina Dobrev

I don't say the words often, but O my Gosh I just found this beautiful picture of Nina Dobrev! I absolutely had to show you, it would be unfaire if I kept this for myself. So here it is, enjoy!

Fashion news

Hi everyone!

Today I made my Maths test and it went, I hope, good. And right now I've to study for the next test Maths which is Thursday. Tomorow I've a little chat with a teacher to look trough my final Essay, final gosh times flows for too fast!

Anyways: Luke, that clog is indeed ridicoulus wrote about it a few days ago on Weloveshopping a dutch website for which I write (which is my job). I don't like it either. But I do love the collection of Chanel alot especialey the farm theme was a great find of der keizer Lagerfeld.



So I've BIG BIG news! I just bought a Louis Vuitton Speedy 25!!!! I'm really hyper right now! I'm the proud owner, soon, of a real Louis Vuitton. I bought it from someone else so yep it's Vintage but only from 2008 and the bag comes from Milan and it's fabulous! Can't wait to show it to everyone, haha.

So that was it for today, right now I've to go on study Maths...

lots of love,

Milou

French Ladies, Stockings, Striking Accessories and Sexy Camouflage Colours

Good evening,

Do you read a lot of magazines? And do you read Glamour now and then? Well I do (yes, we have that magazine too in the Netherlands) and I found a really inspiring article, well actually it was a Runnaway Report, about the latest trends and new designer clothes, shoes and accessories. I am going to lift out the (in my opinion) best new trends for you and tell you why I actually like them.

Let's start with a classic one; Chanel. Chanel introduced a lot for this new S/S-season(spring/summer season, thank you Milou), most of it I like! But some of it, I absoluteley loathe. I will give you one example of a really loathesome piece, I don't know how to denominate it, even in Dutch, but it's a transition between a clog and a female shoe. Do you know what I mean? You should be glad if you don't, anyway... I was going to talk about what I liked, and not was I disliked. So what I actually liked about the chanel SS-line where the classic and female clothes which give you the air of a french lady. I also liked the lace and the way Karl Lagerfeld used black and white: two very basic colours, which you can use for every kind of style. So, well done Chanel, very classy, but still original.



The next brand which did absolutely well was Alexander Wang. I really liked the way that Sport and Fashion seem to meet each other in a (still) classic composition. I also liked the stockings, the striped shirts and the quilted leather. In Glamour they give as 'cheaper'(it isn't cheap at all in my opnion) example of the Alexander-Wang-style a pair beautiful Mullberry shoes: Cookie Booties! Very Lovely!



We will continue with Burberry (Prosum). I can be very short on this one: pastel colours, striking accessories and the well-known English look (the trenchcoat, for example)!



The last one I'm going to lift out is Balmain. I don't know why, but I always liked Balmain, even when I didn't know it was actually Balmain who designed a piece, and even now I still can't pronounce the name, I still like Balmain. Camouflage colours (in almost any case; dark), forceful but also sexy. And this season smooth clothes which underline your body (your figure).



Now you now which SS-trends I liked (and, in case of the Chanel-Clogs, disliked), I hope you enjoyed reading this.
Lots Of Love Luke.

promise

Going to write you soon, promise.

Hi!

Hi!



How are ya?! I'm fine, just finished reading the new Elle (Luke you'll get your Elle soon, maybe friday?) and now,tonight, I can start reading the other fashion magazines which I got myself: Elle, Red, French Vogue, British Vogue, American Vogue, Glamour and some PR- stuff for my job. Don't get me wrong: I love reading this! Although it's sometimes a little much.
Furthur I'm going to read tonight the final in the the series of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Down. I love it, I'm near the end and it's just an amazing book, amazing serie!

I also spend a lot of time on maths last two weeks and tomorow. Tuesday and Thursday I've Maths test. Two in total, yes. I really did my very best and I hope it wil pay off, if not: then that's to bad but at least I did everything I could! So wish me luck, please! (I need it!)

So that's my boring life, fun huh?! So what's your daily routine? Do you have one? Sure you have! Tell me!

I need to stop right now, need to study some new formulia of maths.

Love you -xoxo-,

Milou

Photo report

Hi Guys,

I don't feel like writing lately, but I take a loot of photo's, collect them and try to match them. So I thought; why not show you some of my latest collected pictures? I found them all on the internet (The official the Vampire Diaries site (and forum) from Holland, for example).

Let start with: Nina Dobrev.


How about Paul Wesley?


I am going to end this short picture session with Ian Somerhalder:


I think this is enough for now. Next time, when I don't feel like writing (could be the first next time), I will post some more pictures.
Lots Of Love Luke

Cheerful

Hi Guys,

I am sorry that I didn't write for a long time, I was very busy with school (etc.)and driving lessons. But now it's vacation and I have no driving lessons anymore because I passed my examination with good results!! (Woohoo!)
I am very happy right now, because my examnation was today and I sittl can't believe that I have a licence.
I had to tell you this good news, and I can also tell you that I have bought a T-shirt with stripes (Vero Moda), so now I am ready for the spring and summer (the new spring summer fashiontrend without knowing it for a long time:O). I also bought some second hand stuff which is really nice (a long woolen cardigan and a olive-coloured top) and a bra by H&M (in the sale). So I did some cut down save shopping and I am really happy about that too.
I am going now, sorry fot this useless message, I just wanted to express my pleasure!
Lots of Love,
Luke.

PS: On the picture we see Nina Dobrev.

I would love to win...

Hi everyone (and Caroline),

I've a daily routine of websites I visit. One of these websites is from Caroline. It's a great website with a lot of fashion- info and styles, worth to take a peak at!

Right now there is a competition. You can win a complete outfit which belongs to a style you prefer. This is the style I prefer the most:



Why? Well there are serveral reasons. And I could tell you, Caroline, that I want to win this so bad because I never won (- And that's not true, sure I won something once in these 17 years I walking around this globe) or because I'm so poor and can't afford anything, even from the H&M (- Also not true). But that isn't going to cut it. I want this style so bad because I love fashion, I love trends and I want to get over these winterblues by getting a brand new spring outfit.

I think this style has all the key items for the latest springtrends. Let's face these:


- First we see Hotpants, these are totaly hot this spring. We seen a lot of hotpants on the catwalk: Marc Jacobs, Rochas, Bailman and Bluemarine.

- Second: Stripes. Marine. Ship 'Ahoy! It's, in my opinion, the biggest trend this s/s 2010. We seen striped at the catwalk at: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Lacoste, Marni and Jean Paul Gaultier.

- Third: Leather is hot. Leather pants, camel coats and just the key basic: Leather Jacket. This one is really hot, love it! We've seen a lot of leather: D&G, Tommy Hilfiger, Chloé, DKNY, Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton and Maxmara.

- Peep-toes were already hot this winter: perfectley to combinate with a panty or something. This Spring we can finaly show

our pedicured (-Offcourse we used the latest It-nailpolish Chanel particuliere!) toes with these nice peep-toes. If it would become cold this spring, (highly possible) I would combinate this outfit with overknee- socks. Which is the latest trend for this S/S 2010. (-Instead of the overknee- boots A/W 2009/2010) Seen these overknee- socks at: Alexander Wang and Gaspard Yurkievich.

- Then I'm going for nude make-up which is the hottest beauty trends this spring.

- And last but not least: I love the way the hair got braid. Really looks like Alexander Wang. Beautiful! I would just do it the same.

So these are the reasons why I would love to win this competition, I think I know how to combinate this with my other clothes and I've the impression this outfit compose the best the latest trends for S/S 2010.

Would you like to join this competition too? Check Caroline's website out: http://caroline.feber.se/art/173698/14_items__14_looks___you_can_w/
