....To all my lovely readers out there, strugling in the snow! I hope you all get to your fabulous party's in time and dry, even though the wheater isn't collaborating. Stay positive! Make realistic resolutions for the upcoming year, for example: don't say you'll hit the gym everyday, but think about making exurcise a daily routine, such as walking to work, or running ones a week. Don't exaggerate! Have fun! Lot's of happiness and health for all! See you in 2010!

Change is good

Old lady's soul
This week started of really strange. I was thinking about a lot of stuff these days, which basically means that I must be stressed about, well, I don't know what. My life is normal, nothing weird to be stressing about. Maybe I'm changing. I hear that a lot lately. But in a good way. They say that I am getting more interested in things, which can be anything, from reading to painting. And I am, which feels great. But I don't want people to think that I am becoming an old lady. Like the other day: I was telling my friend about my Shakespeare book, which contains 1200 pages. I told her that I started reading it, and that it's really hard because of the year in which it was written, which was the 16th century. She laughed at me. "Are you crazy? Are you doing that because you want to, like, it's not even for school?!" That's when I feel like an old lady...


He's just not that into you
What happens when you suddenly realise that some things in life are just not worth spending your energy on? You stop spending energy on it! Love is just the same, at least that's what you should do, right? I happen to think that some people like suffering from heartaches. What is it about some women, or men, that they keep spending energy on relationships that are most likely to collaps? A question many people may be asking, and the answer may be in this book called 'He's just not that into to you' by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. I seriously was laughing my way trough this book, Greg is really a tough guy! And honest! Here's a phrase that will make you read this book:
'We were all working in the writers' room of Sex and the City, talking, pitching ideas, our personal love lives weaving in and out of the fictional lives we were creating in the room. And just like on any other day, one of the women on staff asked for feedback on the behaviour of a man whom she liked. He was giving mixed messages-she was confused. We were happy to pitch in and pick apart all the signs and signals of his actions........' 'On this day, Greg listened intently to the story and our reactions, and then said to the woman in question: "Listen, it sounds like he's just not that into you." We were all shocked!' (He's just not that into you, Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, 2004)
Whahahha, amazing! All women should read that book.


Don't shop
Buying christmas presents is one of the most lovely passtime that I can think of. You're shopping, but for the ones you love. That's amazing, right? Well, sinds I can't find any proper presents, that idea has disappeared. Is it because of the economy that we must buy each other crappy presents? Don't they (the stores who sell the crappy presents) allow us to have a nice christmas, not even that? And sinds my idea of maybe spending 5 months of internship in London, I am not liking the idea of buying anymore clothes. I will have to learn to deal with what I have, or else London will be way to far for me. And for my trusted readers, who wanted to know if I scored anything from the Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection, the answer is: no! I was pretty disappointed. Shopping sucks! So, I said it!




Do I need anything....
Yes! Ofcourse! Duh! Paint and a painting canvas!!!!! I know you all thought I was going to make a list, but no. I changed. Ha!

Enjoy buying, if you will!

Sonia Rykiel may be available for me


For me there is just one person, after Coco Chanel, that gives women comfortable and chic clothes. Clothes that make us feel amazing and gorgeous. That person must be Sonia Rykiel. I love everything about her designs. I am a big fan of her knits and ofcourse I am obsessed with spangles on sweaters thanks to her. She is also one of the few designers that allow models to laugh on the catwalk. That makes it all a bit more fun. And even though miss Rykiel isn't the youngest anymore, I won't bother looking like her at her age. A fantastic woman and designer! And I am so lucky, because she is launcing a collection for H&M, hitting stores this saturday. The first part of the collection contains lingerie, and cute ones too! In february they're launcing the second part with accessories and KNITS! Whoehoe, my change to get a Sonia Rykiel knit. Can't wait to get me some of those hot sets. And isn't Christmas just around the corner.....?

The Angels are back

My favorite show of the year is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Not only is it ful of gorgeous lingerie, it's also more like a broadway show then a fashion show. I wish there was a store here in Amsterdam. Maybe one day they will make us happy, like Tiffany's is doing now opening their first store here in Amsterdam. Can't wait to go there! Enjoy the preview of the show, I'll bring you guys more updates soon soon soon!
