Take your jealous heart and cast it into stone

At first, sorry if you think this will be a complaining post, but I just have to get this out of my system.

People always, and especially in The Netherlands, have to say their opinions. If they know you or not. That was a reason a couple of years ago, that I was afraid to dress the way I wanted. Now 2 years later I'm not having that problem anymore. Gladly. I'm the person who I want to be, I dress how I want to and I'm proud of myself with what I already reached. It isn't much yet, but I'm proud of it. And I think that's important. That you can be proud of yourself and that you can be you. And I know that everyone will keep their opinions and they might change or not, but sometimes you just have to know when to say it or not. You can ruin someone's happyness with them. The way who someone wants to be. And I hate that. The girls and boys who all look the same, make fun of the one's that are not looking the same. And not all of them are doing that! But a lot are. And why? Because they're jealous that they don't have the guts to do it? Or just because they really think they look ridiculous? My parents always said to me that the people who are doing that are jealous. And maybe they are and maybe they're not. That's something I'll never know, but that subject keeps popping up in my head and I keep repeating the same question. WHY!?

Or the people who think it's ridiculous I have so many expensive shoes and buy them. You can have that opinion, that's okay with me. But don't try to bring me more sense or so. That's not necessary. My parents can do that. I can get really irritated by that. And I'm sorry if I'm bitchy about it, that's not my intention. But it's up to me if I want to buy it or not. It's my money, my choice. And it's also up to me if I want to except a gift from my dad or not. I'm always happy with what he gives me. If it's a movie, a book or a pair of gorgeous shoes. I'm a movie-addict, a book-aholic and a shoe-obsessed person. And thankfull to my dad! As long I'm not going to act as a spoiled brat, like the girls and boys do in 'My sweet 16'! And with what I hear from my friends and boyfriend is that I'm a sweet girl and totally not acting as a spoiled brat. My boyfriend is even suprised I'm not acting like that! One time he even said to me: "if I would get all the things you get, I already would have acted like a spoiled brat".

Again, sorry for my complaining. I just had to throw it out. And another sorry for if I acted bitchie, that really wasn't my intention. Only sometimes I just have to say things and then I don't care how I say it. Now I'm kind of contradicting myself, but what does it matter? It's out of my system and that's important! Now I'm only hoping that not everyone thinks I'm a total bitch right now! Or an arrogant person, because that's one of the things I do mind. I don't mind what people think of what I look, but how they think of me, can still bother me... Have to get over that...

But now my outfit! This is an outfit from 30-12-2008. Today it's exactly a month ago I wore that haha. And today I'm wearing the same dress! Not the same outfit, though. And now I'm going to shut my mouth haha.

Favourite lyrics

This song is already pretty old. I think I was about 10 years old when I was listening to it. And I still am. I'm also listening to it at the moment that I'm writing this. I absolutely think this is one of the best lyrics I've ever heard.

Christina Aguilera - Soar
When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in, when your heart's crying out that it's wrong
Will you love you for you at the end of it all

Now, in life, there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

The boy who wonders is he good enough for them
He's tryin' to please 'em all but he just never seems to fit in
Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be good enough for him
She's tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win

In life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears
Her own reflection, now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself
Now time has passed and she's ended up someone else with regret

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

Don't wait, no more
Spread your wings and soar
Don't wait, no more
You can soar

So What you waiting for?

So these are my favourite lyrics. What do you think about them? And what are your favorite lyrcis, if you have them?

Good shoes won't save you this time

This was an outfit from somewhere last week. It's one of the dresses I bought from Ilovevintage. It first came till my ankles! Good thing I have a good sewingmachine, because this isn't an easy fabric to sew with. It's partly stretch and then it's hard to make it shorter. I needed a special stitch. But now the dress is absolutely perfect! Still, yes still, have to make about 3 other dresses shorter. But I'm wearing my hot pink patent ankleboots here! I got them for my 16th birthday, but rarely worn them. Such a shame. But I also had no idea how to combine them, except for with jeans or so. But I'm not a jeans kind of girl. Not anymore.

I'm going to post more later in the afternoon. I'm not having enough time now, I have to go to school in about 15 minutes and still have to get dressed...

An interview with... Nina!

I'm starting a serie of interviews with girls, which I think have a greay sense of style!
This first interview is with Nina. She loves high heels and dresses ( I know the feeling) and I just love her style! I really wanted to share it with all of you. She inspires me and I hope she also will inspire you.
Photobucket

Tell us something about yourself.
I'm Nina, 17 years old and I'm doing 5vwo (for the people who aren't Dutch, 5vwo is actually high school and the year before the senior year). I live in Den Bosch and I want to do something with journalism, I prefer fashion journalism.

What does fashion and beautiful clothes mean to you?
Fashion and clothes make me happy. When I wear a good outfit, no one can ruin my day anymore. Finding something in a store or online what I love, can also make me very happy and I can't get that certain item out of my head. Clothes and fashion are just really important to me.

Photobucket

How would you describe your personal style? Sweet and girly.
I almost always wear a dress. My favourite colors are pastel pink and green. I also love a lot of prints. Flowers and dots are my fauvorite. The accent in my outfit is almost always at the waist. I love high heels, but I also wear flats.

Wich item in your closet couldn’t you live without?
A basic black dress. The fit is really tight, it has short sleeves and has a widely cut neckline. It can easily be worn with very high-heels or flats and colourful tights.

Photobucket

For what piece of clothing that hangs in your closet, do you feel the most ashamed of?
This big, grey, man cardigan from the H&M. It’s really comfy to wear and I always wear it as a coat when I go out. And sometimes, not often, when I’m not feeling to well, I wear it to school.

Do you often have mis-buys or do you wear everything you buy?
No, nowadays, I hardly ever have mis-buys. I always think before I buy, wether I’m going to wear it or not. Every dress will come in handy at some occasion.

Photobucket

Did you ever had the feeling you wanted to fit in as for clothing, because you don’t look like the average teenager?
No, not at all. I always had the feeling I wanted to look different, because the crowd was looking dull. Björn Borg, cowboyboots, Uggs. I’m not that into trends.

Did you ever had unpleasant comments on your clothing, and if so, how did/do you deal with it?
Yes, I used to. I wore wide skater-pants and I was sometimes told I was ugly. But hey, just don’t respond to negative people, then they’ll find it far les fun.
Photobucket

Maybe tips for the people who want to wear their own style, but are afraid?
Just do it! Go shopping and buy what you really like, not what the half of your school is wearing.

What is your favorite trend right now?
High heels with platforms, it's great when you're that short as me!
Photobucket

Which trend do you think is awful?
The wide-leg jeans, just because it doesn't fit my body type. While I would love to have such a beautiful jeans à la That 70's Show!

Do you have a fashion-icon? Or a website where you get inspiration?
Hihi, you always give me inspiration! You have beautiful vintage dresses and a really jealous making shoe collection. For the rest I think that Stylemob is a really inspiring site and the EG forum stays a good inspirationsource.

Photobucket

What would you never, but then also never wear on the fashion area?
Something that is too small, or doesn't suit me. I think it's very important that your own clothes look beautiful on you. I think it's just as important that the clothes are beautiful (okay, there are limits)

Is there something you would like to say to the people who read this?
Cliché, but so true: wear where you feel comfortable in!

Photobucket

I hope you liked this interview! There will be more. I'm still looking for some girls or perhaps boys (?) to interview. So, if you know someone you think should be here or you want me to interview you. Just send me an email. But I'm not doing so many interviews, so I can't interview everyone (like I'll get many emails...)

Shoes, glorious shoes

Again new ones! Almost 2 new pairs, but because the other pair was just sold in my size, I have to wait. But first the pair I do have! They're amazing. Really, really amazing. And SO high! I don't know how high precisely, but I have a hard time to walk on them. I think I need practice. Lots and lots of practice. And icecream. Oh wait, no icecream. That's not necessary, just tasty. I do can walk on them, but not really good yet. That will go better with time. But my new shoes are from Dsquared!

The other pair of shoes are from...... Chanel!!! Yes, Chanel! I almost can't believe it, but in a while I will get these amazing dubble 0 7 shoes! Oh my gosh, I can't wait! There were a pair in my size, but apparently they were already sold. I hate the woman who bought them (sorry, I just can't stand those kind of things). Now I hope that they're still in my size in another store. Otherwise I'll have to wait till april. If I do have to wait till april, that's just a shame, but not a disaster. I'll just have to practice my patient then! Till then, I'll have to do it with these pictures. Some day I will have them. But I'm already happy with the thought, though!

You say I'm just a little girl

Maybe that's the reason why I'm addicted to heels? Very, very high heels. I don't like heels when they're lower then 4 inch (10 cm). Otherwise I think they're too low. I do have heels that are lower then that, but that's because the shoe is beautiful enough without a high heel. And I have some heels from when I was 14, who were about 2,8 inch (7 cm) high. At the time I compared them with skyscrapers. And now I walk on shoes with a 5,6 inch (14 cm) heel.

I remember my first pair of pumps. I was so in love. And I still think they're really cute. They were from Invito and green, with a little knitted flower on top of it.
Photobucket
I even multiple times fell, while I was wearing them. In my room. On a flat floor! Okay, I had to learn how to walk on them. That took a while. I'm no natural. And the first time I wore them in public was at school, with christmas breakfast. I had to get something out of the school kitchen, so I had to walk down the stairs. And my heel got hooked behind the stairs. I almost fell down the stairs. I've never been that glad with a hand-rail. And my best friend at the time, laughed her ass off. I really hated her at the moment hehe. But I must admit, that I'm still a bit afraid of stairs, when I'm having heels on... That's why I ALWAYS wear my boots first, when I go to school and I want to wear heels. I put my heels in my bag and wear boots when I'm on my way to school. When I'm in the classroom, I change my shoes. The last time I fell down the stairs with heels on, was in september or oktober I believe. I couldn't walk for 2 days. Never again, please!
