Firework, Judy Garland, Elvis Presley & Sherlock... what more do you need on new years eve? I don't know why, but when a new year is coming around we (meaning anyone who's sentimental... which shockingly is a higher amount of people than expected) look back at what's happened these past 365 days. Well, the highlights of those 365 days. As Elvis Presley ones sang, "we're going up, we're going down, we're going up, down, down,...

50 years of Doctor Who. Well, 50 years and one month. But for the sake of this post we'll look over that fact. Although it actually enhances the brilliancy of the show that it still goes on after a milestone of 50 years... and a month. For the socalled dummies reading this, lets begin with the basics. Doctor Who first aired on the 23rd of November 1963. Since then it has aspired to be the...

"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce." Karl Lagerfeld The Dutch word of 2013 is "selfie". There are two reasons why people weren't that happy about this. 1) Selfie isn't a Dutch word. 2) A lot of people find selfie an ugly or even an unattainable word. In case you didn't know... Regarding the first point, I'm totally down with that. I think the purpose...

Today is the birthday of my grandmother. It's the first birthday since her birthday that she's not here to celebrate it with us. Although I'm very tempted to crash down and start crying for the rest of the day (or for the rest of my life), I figured that we ought to be celebrating instead of mourning. We should celebrate that what was instead of longing to that what isn't. Although this sounds quite wise...

It's the last month of the year, so you know what that means... you don't? Well, under what rock have you been living the past centuries?!? Winter is coming... so time to snuggle up with whatever makes you warm. I personally prefer to snuggle with Jack. He's like a heating source on four paws. The ultimate warm keeper! But if disaster has struck and there's no Jack nearby, you could always try my second favourite...

There's this boy at school who's always dressed like he just walked out of a 1930's American Gangster film. Always neat and tight in a suit. He even has got a nice big coat with a black fur collar. He's just a very good dresser. A few days ago he wore a top hat with matching walking cane (which had a sliver lion on top of it). Amazing! His hair is only a bit too...

Trousers+Shoes+Shirt: H&M/ Jacket: Thrift Store/ Scarf: Miss Etam/ Necklaces: Hardware Store "You either love them or hate them", the saleswoman said to me when I (in the sense of my mom) was paying for these trousers. "One customer walks away with them as if they've found the love of their life. Others look at them as if they've just gone mad". Checkered trousers, for me, got this massive association with punk (the good kind of...

Dress: Moonlight/ Leather Jacket: Only/ Shoes: H&M/ Tights: Wibra/ Ribbon in my hair: Wrapping from a gift The Day of the Deaf is an annual event given on the 4th Saturday of September. The Dutch event was this year given at my sister's school with the theme: Visual Enrichment. Deaf artists were given a spotlight to show their work. This varied from paintings to woodworking. As said, the artists were all deaf, so communication between...

All my life I've been fascinated by dolls. On one hand they creep me out and on the other I often wish to be one myself (a full functioning, very intelligent doll... although, compared to all the other dolls, it's already impressive if I could stand right up on my own two feet). Source When I was about twelve I was totally obsessed with the Lolita style, which led me to other (Japanese) subcultures. One...

Skirt+Vest: H&M/ Shirt: Gift from my aunt/ Tights: Wibra/ Shoes: Primark Yesterday, like almost every day, I was on the train. I sat next to my friend (a.k.a. "Train Buddy"), minding our own business. Complaining about things. The normal stuff. A guy gets in and sets himself infront of us, putting his bag under the chair. Train Buddy and I resume to our very intelligent conversation, until we get to the next stop. The guy...

But when she got on the bus, as she did every day, she noticed something strange. Tony, the bus driver, turned out to be a dog. Ilse, shocked by this image, wished him a good morning (as she did every day) and hurried to a seat. Tony barked...
