Jan Jansens shoes are coming from heaven!




Today, my mom and I went to a museum. We had to travel for three hours, but it was so worth it. There was an exposition of Jan Jansen, the shoe designer. There were 160 designer shoes to see. The shoes were all crazy! With such elegant shapes and names like "Avenue's best cover," "Kissing on the couch" and "Snow Rose," I fell in love at once. What I would give to try one of these shoes on! I would pay a million dollars if I had it... I started wondering if they could be called shoes. Of course, that's what they are, but the name doesn't fit completely. It doesn't say enough, like they're more than just shoes. It seems to me that they all are little pieces of art, a sort of mix between fashion and architecture, all unique individuals, handmade. But maybe I'm just a shoefreak...:)

Summerdreams...

Here are some collages I've made that remind me much of summer... I really can't stand all this bad weather anymore... I don't want rain, I want sun! Loads of sun! So, when I look at these, I can daydream about bikinis and shorts and sunbathing...



I'm sorry they're this bad quality, but since our scanner is defect(our computer crashes everytime we use it) I had to photograph them first.
I used to sketch a lot, but then my father told me that maybe I should try some painting. Here are the results:

Different streets have different songs...

I'm going to Paris!!! With school, in June. Does life ever get any cooler than that? We're going for five days. I'm so looking forward to it! I've been in Paris before, but I was like seven or something then, and I had only interest for the Eiffeltower and Disneyland Paris. I think maybe I should save up my clothing money, so I can buy every dress or T-shirt or skirt that I like there. They say Paris is expensive... I'm sure we're going to a lot of museums and art galleries(hey, it's still school), but I like that, too. As long as we have enough time left to find all the cute vintage shops!
I already made a playlist for Paris:
Yelle~Les Femmes
Yelle~Dans ta vraie vie
Yelle~A cause des garçons
Yelle~Je veux te voir
Yelle~Ce jeu
Ladyhawke~Paris is burning
Claude Debussy~Clair de Lune(had I mentioned before that I'm in love with this song?)
Brigitte Bardot~Moi je joue

Yeah, there's a lot of Yelle... I try to find more French music, but till now, Yelle is the only one I actually like. She has great style too; she usually pairs shiny leggins with reeboks and a colourful T-shirt.



Since we're talking about cities anyway, I might as well give my list of cities where I really like to go to:
~New York (I've never been there, and they say it's an energetic city)
~London (When I was in England, I was five, and we never went to see London)
~Tokyo (Japanese streetstyle, here I come!)
~Rome (In two years from now, I'm going to Rome with school, because I have Latin in school)
~Hong Kong (I just want to go to China. Chinese people are interesting)
~Rio de Janeiro (City of parties...)
~Reykjavik (I don't know, Iceland just seems cool)

Well, that was my list. I want to go to a lot of other cities too, but that will take hours to write, and everyone will get bored. Here are two pictures of cities that I like a lot:


I like the black-white theme a lot.

The charm of Dior in a bottle






I collect perfume bottles. I especially like the miniature ones, and when I get to fly, I usually buy a miniature collection by the tax free stores. I also collect the old fashioned bottles. Once, I found a bag with three almost antique perfume bottles across the street. I was so happy!
I get a lot of empty ones from my aunts. Yeah, I know it's silly, but empty perfume bottles are still pretty!
So, when I recently found out about the new Miss Dior Chérie fragrance, I got all excited. Especially when I read that Sofia Coppola was the director of the advertisement video. I immedaitely fell in love with it. And got inspired... See the pictures above!
Music: Moi je joue, by Brigitte Bardot
Skirt: H&M, tights: probably V&D, I'm not sure, shirt: TEMT, shoes: vintage, necklace: H&M.
