First Concert Ever!



Guess who is going to The Script, the 25th of January 2013?!



I'm so excited to go and see them perform tomorrow. I have never been to a concert this big before. I am so lucky a friend of mine asked me to go with her!

The original plan for the concert was to be held at Heineken Music Hall, but it sold out so fast that they had to move it to Ziggo Dome Amsterdam, which has over 17.000 seats!
The doors open at 6:30 PM, there will be another band playing from that time, The Original Rudeboys, as a preview before The Script come up at 8:00 PM. I haven't actually listened to one of Original Rudeboys' songs yet, but I read that they do acoustic hip hop.

I have a question to ask, though!
Could you, if anyone reads this before tomorrow, post a comment with an outfit suggestion? :) I'd love to hear what you would wear to a concert like this. Or maybe what I should wear, because I'm in a huge dilemma here haha.

That's The Stuff I Don't Like

Today was one of these typicial days in which everything doesn't go the way you want it.
I discovered the 'That's the stuff I don't like' tag a couple of weeks ago and saw some Youtubers doing it as well. And after this day I reaaally feel like getting all this negativity off my chest.
So here we go!
  • People taking a peek at your phone screen
    Seriously, to me, it's one of the most rude things you can do. Just so you know, I am not this kind of phone addict, it's not like I am on social media every second of the day to do whatever. So when I get my phone out of my bag, please don't hang your head over my shoulder just to see what I am doing.
    What I'm going to say now is a bit contradictory, but, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note. The phone is big. I understand when you don't know me and you don't know I own this phone, you look and keep staring for a few seconds. But after that, move on please! My twitter/facebook/tumblr/whatever screen layout won't be any different from yours!
  • Comparison
    The way to bring someone down, or to bring yourself down. It can cause serious damage to your self-confidence, which may be hard to build up again.
    Of course everyone gets compared and everyone compares themselves. But don't think just because this one girl or guy has something you don't have, that you are not beautiful! Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and everyone has flaws. That's just how it is. We are human, we make mistakes, and we have flaws.
    I hate to see people torturing themselves by eating way too less, or putting on a lot of makeup to hide blemishes or acne, things like that. If you want to lose weight, excersise, eat healthy and don't give up!  If you want to get rid of this acne, go to your local pharmacy or go to your doctor, and see what they can do for you. It'll be gone in no time with the right medicine or cream. It's so easy once you get started working on the things you don't like about yourself, by changing them or better, accepting them :)
  • From one opinion to another
    You know when you talk to someone about a certain subject that you like or do not like, and they are totally agreeing with you? Of course it's nice to hear from someone that they agree with you, but there are many people that only say they 'agree' because they're afraid to stand up for their own opinions.
    In some situations, for example when you're having a serious conversation about something you want to discuss because it's affecting you emotionally or just very important for whatever reason there might be, it's a must to give your opinion, even though the other person might not agree with that!
    I'm really bad at explaining this one, I'd love to give some real life experiences with this but I don't want to say anything about it since I might offend the people I've had this with.
  • People breaking their promises
    I think this one is pretty obvious.
    Just don't do it, ever.
  • Falling asleep without being 'aware'
    I don't know if I am the only one getting annoyed by falling asleep unaware, but for me it's a horror. Especially when I wake up I have completely lost my sense of time which makes it feel like I slept a 100 years.
     I usually fall asleep without being aware when I'm really stressed out because of school or other life problems. Most of the time I wake up three to four hours later, not even full of energy. You'll have me sitting on the couch for the rest of the evening, really. I'm just not able to function after the nap :c

    All these 'Things I Don't Like' are a little random but I've been experiencing these a lot lately and I just wanted to get it off my chest, that's all!
    Negativity = gone now. Time for POSITIVITY.

    I hope you have a nice day.

Knock The Doc


Boots - Primark

Hey!

So I went shopping again and guess what I picked up! I am in love with these boots. And they look similar to the Doc Martens, which I adore. One day I'm going to buy a pair for sure.
I styled these  yesterday with a grey pair of skinny jeans, a vintage sweater in a soft green color, and on top a camo jacket with golden studs on the collar :) For a bit of accessory I went with my golden pendant necklace. On the pendant is actually a picture of me when I was still a little kid. The necklace was a gift from my mom's work to her, but she gave it to me ^^


Also, my room will be getting a complete makeover very soon. Finally! I am going to repaint the walls in a very subtle grey, and the wall where my bed is against will be a black baroque wallpaper. And then for the decorations I want some red accents and probably pastel colors since I'm loving those. And the cute christmas lights you see everywhere on Tumblr and Pinterest bedroom interior pictures will be added as well, for a cozy and romantic touch.
I'm so excited, haha.

Another Year To Live


Hello 2013!

I am so glad 2012 is over. We are still alive! I have never been so stressed, haha. I wasn't actually believing the world would end at December 21th, but just the thought of it... There's so much left to do and to see on this wonderful planet. I am glad we are all still here :)



So today, I went to lunch with a friend of mine who I don't see often because we are both so busy with school and such. We had a lot of fun, and since we were in the city we couldn't resist to go in some clothing stores. Although I tried so hard to keep my wallet closed, I had to pick up two things, a sweater from Primark which was on sale (who says no to that!) and an adorable bunny necklace from H&M. I still had a giftcard from H&M so I paid the necklace with that. I'm a budget buyer to the max, yay.

I probably should get going, do some more studying and go to sleep.
Tomorrow's another day!
