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

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:

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)

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.

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!

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
