i heart london

as you can see I was very tired when this photo was taken on the last day, haha

I just got back, utterly exhausted but very happy, with my suitcase bursting at the seams from all the shopping. It was so much fun walking around London, watching all the cool kids, hearing lovely British accents everywhere, eating in cute restaurants, shopping until we dropped and then getting up and buying some more, riding an empty tube or one completely crammed with people, taking loads of pictures, walking until our feet dropped off, and then going to bed way too late and rising way too early to start all over again.

Good things today:
♥ Today was the first day it was warm enough to sit outside a cafe to have drinks. 
Oh, I'm sorry about all this spring ranting, does it make me seem some kind of season-obsessed freak? I'm just overly excited that I seem to have survived winter again (I don't know how I always do that) and that my nose was burnt red by the sun today (my nose burns very quickly, I'm not sure why), which is always a good sign.
♥ I bought two H&M blazers (the €10 off-thing they have right now is great)...

♥...and I still have enough money left to shop outrageously in London, buying as many sun dresses and cute shoes as I can find, starting... wow, already the day after tomorrow!

♥ I'm in love with this song, End of May by Keren Ann:

♥ I'm done with exam week and therefore have an ocean of free time stretching out in front of me. 

yeah, i'm a human fly

I have absolutely no clue what Aldo is - is it a brand? Because then I'm quite sure we don't have it here - but I  love the clothes in this shoot and oh my, Jessica Stam is really rocking it.

and suddenly, it was spring

Finally, the second-to-best season (summer remains the best one) has reached the cold Netherlands. The weather is sunny and (relatively) warm and just lovely, exam week is almost over and I didn't screw up my math test, I'm going to London (!!) in three days, and overall, things really couldn't be better. Just a few more months and I'm done with school - I can hardly imagine

hello.

I've refrained from saying anything about this, because I don't want my blog further spoiled with this crap than it already is, but since I start getting comments on my every single post, and I'm going to put this up in a very big font because I'm afraid this person doesn't really read anything. Somehow I still think all this might just be a stupid joke, but here you go:


Aris. I can't begin to imagine what you are trying to achieve by leaving these comments. I guess you are just a filthy-brained man who has to express his sexually frustrated mind by commenting on random girl's blogs. I hope you are not a psychopath and I really hope you don't harass girls in the street with comments like these. It's not normal to write stuff like this. I'm sick of hearing all about your sexual fantasies concerning my legs. It's gross and very offensive. I always delete them, but it's still tremendously nasty to have to read them every time.

Please stop commenting on my blog.

the girl that got away

Well, I've decided this was the best photo. And put up the other "best" photo as a Facebook profile picture, haha. It just seemed a waste to never use it!

note: I would never, ever venture out into the street wearing such a short skirt with such sheer tights. But more is acceptable in photographs, I think? Or I hope.
