the dress is as long as a summer day

Ode to my mother! I love her so much! She is the best mom in the WORLD. A no-rules-mom, who looks and acts young (but still mature) and she does everything she can for me and my sister! She's the best.

The past few days I had plenty of spare time. I spent two days with a very good friend of mine, who I have known since I was only four yrs old. It s so strange we were in kindergarten together and now we spend nights in the city together! I took her into the city where I go to school (she goes to the local school) and introduced her to many of my school buddies. Good for her she is very spontaneous and we had a great night. 

I spent the next two days with my cousin-in-law, who enjoys to copy me in anything I do (she's eleven) but I really like to do fun stuff with her. I helped her to organize her new (HUGE) closet and we watched The Devil Wears Prada (although I have seen that movie like twenty times, and I still love it!). The next day we went shopping and I bought this new summer hat (see pictures below). That afternoon we did a little photoshoot and actually my cousin is really good at it. Not these pictures below by the way. These pictures were taken today by my sister. 

The dress was one size so it is a little too long for me (I am a shortie, my boyfriend is like 12 inch longer than I am, guess that is a good thing becuz I can wear high heels and STILL be shorter than him, yay) but I fit it with high heels on.

And yes I know I have to cut my hair again cuz it is ugly at the ends.

the walk of the lonely teenager

Did a photoshoot\ with my best friend today, just for fun, no blog intentions at all but some of the pictures turned out very well so I'd like to share those with you;

THE WALK OF THE LONELY TEENAGER

I must admit the left one was not one of those pictures that turned out well but I needed this picture to show you the pattern of the dress.

The shoes are my mom's old ones and I like them a lot and they fit perfectly and they are very comfortable (which is mostly not a priority, it is just a plus factor)

My new earrings!!! I totally love them! 

Yesterday my sister in law, my cousin in law and I had a girls film night. We watched some old skool teenage girls movies (cuz that was appropriate for my cousin cuz she's eleven yrs old, and it was fun for my 20yrs old sister and me to watch those films again) and I really enjoyed the evening (night, we went on until 2 am). 

Today my host mother (where I will stay during my High School year in the US) announced officially my coming to the US on Facebook and some guy said in a comment: "I have some friends in the Netherlands, must be a huge climate swith for her" HA! Climate switch hell yeah! I am already looking forward to the nice, hot weather in Texas, I am already overthinking what summer clothes I need to bring with me and which sunglasses, and how much, I will need. Then the grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins of my host family sent me Friend Requests and some of them posted an enthusiastic message at my profile. They are all so nice and I think this is going to be so much fun!

I expect to post very soon again. See you!

bib overalls come out of the garden

In every vacation I plan so much stuff that I am more tired afterwards than before. It is a kind of a bad  habit,  but what else can I do? There are so many things I still want to do and there is so little time. One of those things is blogging, and I know I renounce it too often, but I don't want to blog because I HAVE to, I only blog when I want to, and not just because I don't want to disappoint my readers. If I do my post will be far from perfect and that is insufferable for a perfectionist as me. 

Now the days get longer I'll have more time to blog. By the way, it s not that I don't have enough post-ideas, not at all! It just costs too much time to carry it out. 

I must confess these bib overalls have been waiting for like two months to be worn (it is tic that I wear my new clothes AFTER I took pictures of them, yeah it is really neurotic). The belt is new too, the socks and shoes are old, and the earrings (a button) are really old, I bought them when I was eleven yrs old! The sunglasses are new too but I have already worn them. 

The hair was a spontaneous idea. I tried to make knots but it didn't work out so I made it into tails. A haircut probably nobody dares to wear, because it is 'not normal' and that's funny because there is no such a thing as 'normal', because 'normal' is an opinion and every single person has another opinion about what's normal and what isn't. 

In the next picture I look very angry.... Kinda scary. Without sunglasses for once (You probably won't see me without sunglasses again until september! Those are my fav accessories).

Tomorrow it is Queensday in my country. A national holiday, officially it was the birthday of the queen, but in fact it is the birthday of the queen before the current queen. And tomorrow is particularly special because the son of our queen will be king. Yay! Ugh no, I hate monarchy. It is old-fashioned. Hereditary titles are SO medieval! So not democratic. Please. Long live the republic! 

And yes we can keep Queensday when our country is a republic, because we kept Christmas too even if we believe god's a fairytale. "Forget the bad and keep the good" the good is in this case the parties.

through my sunglasses

Hello sunshine!! I am so excited to show you this new outfit! These clothes had to wait until the sun was back in my country and today is the day: fotoshoot time! I posted a sneak peek at my INSTAGRAM earlier today and here's the result!

My style is not so winter proof so I am so happy summer is near! Sunglasses are my absolute favourite accessories, because the world you see through sunnies is amazing (just the world in summer, though). Imagine the next school year will be a loooooong holiday for me, including the sunny weather! I can't wait!

So in these pictures you see my new sunglasses (ROUND designs are my fav's!), my new flowered top and my new white-blue striped pants. The Jeffrey Campbell's aren't new, you saw them before in this post.

Lipstick is from L'Oréal Paris (Plum Passion) and I wear it A LOT. 

See you!

More Rockslita!

Songs about girls

A Short Plea About Imperfection Of Human Being

Lily Allen - Fuck You

"---

Do you get, do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?

---

Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?

--"

'It is forbidden to incite hatred' is actually in the Dutch law. So, if you are such a small person and you want to seem a little bit bigger so you start detracting people, start inciting hatred, isn't that a crime, too? I have seen a lot hate at the social media lately. I am absolutely convinced that you should give your opinion (constructive criticism), but you can't do it just to make you better or to insult someone intentionally. I think people are WAY TOO SHORT SIGHTED. Some might be a loser and if he is he probably makes already a fool of himself, so you are not the right person to do that for him, because it is simply not your business. People judge too quick, their opinions are mostly prejudices, and they don't use their own mind (anymore). Always take the time to get to know someone, let go all your prejudices, and judge afterwards (but don't just see for yourself what someone is like. If everybody is telling you he or she is really an asshole and that person is acting nice to you, you should check if it is for real - so don't be too fast with your conclusions). 

I know we GIRLS love to check each other out and judge each other based on each other's looks, and it makes us feel good to detract someone who is in some way competition to you. Boys, on the other hand, are  much less biased than we are. Women should do something about this bad habit. If you are smart, always think twice, not everything is as it seems to be. :)

There too are a lot of Song About Girls. I selected a few of my favourite GIRL TITLED songs. Sia who sings Big Girl, Little Girl, is absolutely wonderful. This playlist is a mix of a lot of different genres. I particularly like poprock, but I also enjoy other genres. I love music!

press the play button:

I have refound my one and only love for writing. I have started a new novelle. Not sure if I will ever finish it because I have never ever finished a book before. Now I feel like this is the moment. 

My dear old friend mister Sunshine is coming over to The Netherlands soon, which means I will be able to make a lot of new pictures. New style inspiration is coming soon. 

bye!

gift to popo

I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING FOR AGES. Now I am back. Not for long, since I have test week this week and school is eating all my time. So I haven't been doing much interesting lately. I have planned many fun stuff for the days after the week-of-hell like shopping and photoshoots and blogging. 

Saturday I went out for dinner at Rose's where the food was really good and the interior was PERFECT. Baroque style (I love it. Think of the palace of Versailles. My house is going to have a baroque living room for sure). 

Yesterday I celebrated Easter, which I prefer to call the National Egg Day because egg is my favourite food ever and the only thing we do at Easter is eat eggs and some other things, and I haven't thought of Jesus a single time. In the afternoon I went to my boyfriend's granddad to celebrate his birthday and I got him this:

A creation I produced the night before. All grandchildren are in it plus me (last christmas pictures). They are like a second family to me. He liked the gift and grandma did too so my mission was completed.

Yesteday was also special because I have chatted with my host sister in America. The Thing is really getting close now...! She's 8 years old and she sent me a bunch of pictures of her whole family. It was hér granddad's birthday to. She explained that she calls her granddad 'popo' so I used the world in this post title.

You will hear from me again in a week! Bye

GIRL PROM playlist

Imagine a prom night for girls only. Everyone would be wearing beautiful 60s dresses, glitter shoes and hairsprayed hair. At this night we will be dancing all night long. Dream away with these 8tracks list of the best numbers of the girls prom night...

I love to organize parties and events, rather than I go to one. Here's an impression of the perfect prom night:

Does anyone sell his jukebox? I want it, desperately.

I hope to see you back at my fantasy party which only excist in our minds :)

Happy birthday JD! Say hello to my friend JD at his blog www.johndorus.blogspot.com (only Dutch) and do not hesitate to follow him, you won't regret.
