DOTS DOTS DOTS

Of course we all know how pretty Louis Vuitton's spring/summer collection of this year is. If not, you better check it out HERE. Lots of pastels, lots of sailor like items. Like! But that's not the only gorgeous collection the label is releasing this summer. In July Louis Vuitton will release a collection in collaboration with 83 year old Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

Multiple clothes, accessoiries and leather goods like bags and shoes will be wearing her signature prints, by which I mean dots actually. Since Marc Jacobs says he has always been a huge fan of her, the collaboration might not be a huge surprise. But looking at the Yayoi Kusama collection you really see a huge difference between it and the spring collection for Louis Vuitton. I guess the label couldn't really leave the colorblocking behind after all and everybody knows how much Marc loves them polkadots. Not that I'm complaining.

The clothes -including pyjama's- and accessoiries of this collection will hit stores the 10th of July, you'll have to wait for the leather stuff until october.

MY TIME IS NOW

Since the European Championship of soccer is staring in less than a month, I guess Nike decided to make a new commercial. Now, I've always liked the ones Nike makes. Lots of famous -and hot- soccer players and there's always a little bit of humor in it. This time is no different, so make sure you watch it until the very end. O, and of course my favorite is in there also, right at the beginning. Yesh!

GLITTER NAIL

Sooo, the other day I had these bright pink nails. Something I don't normally do because of my light blond hair and the hard time I have combining it with my clothes. But I did it anyway, using the Orly Nail Lacquer color called Fancy Fuchsia -and it is- I got at my internship with AvantGarde last year.

It's a great, bright, colorblocking color, but I wanted to give it that little bit extra and that's when I saw my O.P.I. nail polish. It's called Bring on the Bling. And blinking it does so I decided to coat just half of one nail with it, giving my manicure a very subtle blingy touch. Like?

IT's CARRIE!

Remember how I already told you about the new Sex and the City series that's coming up? About Carrie's life before that great tv show and great film. This prequel is called The Carrie Diaries and I can't wait for the first episode to air.

Anyway, here's some photos of the girl playing Carrie while shooting the series. This girl -AnnaSophia Robb- looks great, if you ask me. She's cheerful, young, happy and she kinda looks like Carrie too. I can really see her in this movie. And the clothes! Love!

Don't you love the 80's look she's wearing? Well, of course it's an 80's look because the series is about Carrie in the 80's, but still. It's really trendy this summer right now so, inspiring much?

Take a look!

CELEBRATE

Last Saturday it was the 5th of May, which means Liberation Day in the Netherlands. It's the day World War Two ended for us, so we celebrate. A lot. And we do that with lots of music festivals and other festivities all around the country. 

Me and my friend decided to go to the liberation festival in Groningen, which had some really hot artist on it's line-up. They said it was gonna be extremely cold, but luckily the sun decided to show up so it was great. Unfortunately it was extremely busy, there were people all over the place so we hardly saw any of the artists we wanted to see. 

O well, we had some drinks and lots of fun so who cares right? Check out our happy faces enjoying the rare bits of sun we get down here.

MIXED FEELINGS

Today I started my new job! Yes, the day is finally here. I have a serious, journalistic job. As of this day I'm working as an editor for New Publishers, a publisher of multiple magazines for the north of the Netherlands. I'm very excited and happy that I can finally work and get paid for writing instead of having stupid jobs like standing in a store all day.

New Publishers however is situated in Groningen which indeed means I had to move and leave my favorite city; Amsterdam. Right now I'm living at my parents house again, but I hope I can find a place for my own quite soon. But unfortunately I won't be moving back to Amsterdam anytime soon.

I have to say, I miss it already. Also because I moved right before Queensday and missed an epic party because of that, I heard. And there will probably be lots of epic parties I'm gonna be missing because I'm not around anymore. O, how I miss that city. Yeah, okay. I'll stop being a drama queen now. It's gonna be fine and Groningen is a great city too. Let's not forget: I have a job!

Last day in the city

BEAUTIFUL BERLIN

Hey guys! So you haven't heard from me for some time again, but this time I had a good reason for it. A really good reason, because I spent a long week in the most beautiful city in de whole wide world. Berlin! I hadn't been there for two years so it was about time I went.

So now I'm completely broke. Seriously, I have nothing left. But it was worth it. I've been to lots of vintage, second hand an simply awesome stores, flee markets, a Wouter Hamel concert, an art house, great parties.. Well, let's just say I had a great time. Lucky for me, Berlin is quite cheap to live in so I ate and drank -cocktails, baby!- for not all that much money.

Anyway, here's some photo's I took (and of course my friend took the one where I'm in) during the week to give you an impression of the pretty life there.

PRETTY HAIR

Guess what? Yesterday I went to the hairdresser to get my hair dyed. Finally! I haven't gotten that done since last Christmas -I'm not even kidding- so you can imagine how it looked. Normally I'd do it every two months, but I've never been so broke in my life so I just didn't have the money. When it got so out of hand that it really didn't look okay anymore I simply decided to go to a cheaper hairdresser instead of Rob Peetoom or Tony&Guy. I wonder why I didn't think of that earlier.

So anyway; this is the result. And yes, I know it's not really a clear photo, but I don't have a better camera here now than the crappy one on my phone. Only five months until I can leave my almost-broken-HTC behind and get an iPhone. I'm counting the days, believe me. So what do you think of my hair?
