GONE, GONE AND AWAY

REFRESHING
I've been away for quite a long time, three months I guess, maybe even four! Exams (which I passed!), two vacations and a lot of fun in the summer holidays made me stay offline for a while. But now I'm back with a lot of inspiration and ideas!
I'm studying International Lifestyle now, just started this week. I'm really excited about it, as this is something I really want! I already met a lot of great people, and I'm sure I'll be having a good time in the upcoming four years. I'll keep you guys up to date with what and how I'm doing at school, as I must post some projects on my blog, which has benefits for you too! That means more updates and a bigger variety of posts!
As I made a fresh start with my new education, I also want to change the looks of TRD. I've already done the header, which you may have seen, but I'm still thinking about the rest of the layout... Ideas are always welcome ofcourse!
I hope you'll enjoy the new start of TRD, and keep checking it out!
Love&kisses
Fly around
001. Just a quick and short update from the homebase. If you stop by here often you know I was busy with exams, finished it this week, that explains the lack of posts. I didn't really have anything interesting to tell, also no interesting outfits to show (they were all easy, comfi, boring haha)
002. As you could already guess by seeing the picture above, I'm packing my suitcase! Told you a while ago I'm going to Albufeira, Portugal for a week with the girls. We're flying at 5 am tomorrow, which means we have to leave the house at 1:30 am...quite early, I know. But I'm so excited! I really need this short vacation after all that studying, and I feel like I deserved it!
003. So, a week to Portugal means another week no posts...sorry guys! I promise you to show you some of the vacation pics!

The great beyond
Another portrait. I actually really like my makeup today, the bright pink lipstick is probably the cause. The colour is Rose naïf, by Lancome. Wearing my ocean green Pull&Bear top again and the most shocking part of this post...(prepare yourself!)...I'm actually wearing jeans! Well, it's more of a jegging...but I just call them jeans, as it's really the same thing but without a zipper and a button. I don't like wearing jeans, or pants at all. The main reason thereof is the fact that in most stores an M is too small, and an L just too big (really baggy/sloppy on the back, like your butt just disappeared haha). I'm caught up in between.
Not really unimportant; Salary's in! Got quite a lot as I've worked pretty much in December. And now my fingers are itching to do some shopping! Unfortunately, I have to wait untill I finished my exams (last two on Monday, and tomorrow a day off whoohoo!)

Go bananas!
Today in art class we had to make an artwork with/about food. We had the opportunity to prepare and make sketches, weeeks ago, and today was the moment of truth. We had four hours (actually five, he gave us one extra as no one was able to make it within four) And yeah, this is the result! I actually don't know why I decided to paint bananas, but my idea was to show the 'evolution' of food.
Sorry for the crappy pic, but my phone has never heard of GOOD quality.

Breaking through the ceiling
Ugh, Still studiyng. Feels like this book and the notes are endless...
So, I've been to the Willem de Kooning academy yesterday, the school where I'll be walking around after summer. I reaaally hope so. I've wanted to go to this art academy for a few years now, and I know exactly which study I'm going for - Lifestyle & Design
I talked to this girl who graduated two years ago, and she gave me some really good tips and tricks to impress the teachers during the admission procedure. Already so excited, it gives me an extra motivation boost to make myself pass my finals!
Apply some pressure
Studying. Like, diehard. Exams next week, and actually I don't feel much pressure, only for history. It's such a non-interesting subject. It's about Vietnam and wars and the USA and China and wars and uuuugh. And it's sooo much and hard, I don't get it at all *sigh*
Ok I just stop studying for today and go watching my favorite program ('Wie is de mol?' the dutch peeps must know this!) with some hot chocolate, if we've got some milk left...
xoxo
Fishy
Finallyyy my fisheye photos arrived! It took a few days more than it actually should, but yeah. Can't complain about the bad quality - the quality of lomographs just suck. But that's what makes it special!
When looking at the photos I discovered the film wasn't placed right, On lots of photos the 'bubble' is not centred, which means I miss the right part, and that part is on the left side of the next photo.
"happy" new year!
As we went to the city to go out, we had a great time there, untill I didn't feel well and had to throw up later, several times. When we finally got home in the early morning (06:30) to catch some sleep, I still had to throw up, the whole morning...luckily for me I've got a really caring boyfriend.
So yeah I didn't eat much yesterday...3 ricecrackers, and drank a glass of water and 2 cups of tea. I do feel better today, but not great. Ahh well, I guess tomorrow it's over and I can eat normal again.
I hope you didn't step into 2012 like I did...
Ps. I did want to post my NYE outfit, but I was in a rush so I didn't have time to make some shots. And like you already read, I couldn't picutre it for you yesterday, or today. But I'll post it soon for you all!
xoxo
If you feel like a zombie shout it out now
I'm ashamed for not letting you guys know what I've been up to. But yeah, these last few days are quite busy days.
Sunday and Monday are Christmas days, so I can't hang around the computer all day (well, even if I could, I wouldn't.). Tuesday my dad and I both had a day off, so we went to the city, to spend some father-daughter time, and (ofcourse) to do a little shopping. The sales were already begun so I bought a simple tee with videocamera's on it and my dad bought me a cute purple dress and a turquoise blouse, I'll show you later. Wednesday I had to work from 9 'till 17.30, and it was an incredibly boring day. At night I went to the cinema with my mom. We saw the movie Nova Zembla, a dutch movie about explorers who wanted to find the way to India. Great movie, much better than I expected. Topmodel Doutzen Kroes (Victoria's Secret model) also played a role. Not a big one though. And last, today. Went to a factory outlet centre with my parents (spended a lot of time with my parents these days!) Didn't buy a lot: two basic cardigans in black and red. a bit more expensive than at H&M, but the fabric is stronger, much better quality. Maybe I'm the only one, but my H&M cardigans get holes after a few times worn, and there are threads hanging everywhere, blugh.
Photos:
1. portrait, with my new matte red lipstick
2. Chocolate fondue with le boyfriend (romantic, huh? No we're not that romantic. This was our desert at 2nd Christmas day, I cooked for him, and myself ofcourse.)
3. My new matte red lipstick! Rouge allure velvet, no. 38 La Fascinante. My mother bought it as a Christmas present. I asked her for a matte red lipstick, and when I opened the package I was like "omg, Chanel!" and she said she especially bought a Chanel lipstick because I wouldn't buy it myself. The colour is perfect and it stays for a looong time.
The smell of cinnamon and burning wood
Just a few shots that'll create a christmas feeling, and a shot of one of my cats. She's cute, isn't she?
Actually, it's already christmas...but I'm tired and I'm going to bed right after this post. For me it's christmas when I wake up. That's probably what most of you think haha
I'm really excited about it, christmas lunch with mum and dad (My dad is working at the moment, and comes home at 8 in the morning, so he goes straight to bed 'till probably 12 or 13, that explains the lunch!) opening presents, giving presents, having family dinner with really nice food (yum!)...Just being with (a part of) the family, laughing with eachother and do other fun stuff. Ohh I'm really excited...
Loves and kisses!
Under construction soon
I'm already busy with creating different backgrounds (so I can pick one later) and do some creative thinking for a new header.
So don't be confused if my blog's all messed up when you visit, I'm probably busy then.
Excusé moi
I've been quite busy this week, and when I had some time it was too dark to photograph my outfit...and I didn't have much to tell, besides the fact that I really need vacation (just one more week to go, then just sleep for two weeks haha)
Photo: This is one of the lipsticks I wore this week. Really love the colour (in real life it's a bit darker) and it lasts long. Catrice Ultimate Colour collection: 160 Tell me a berry-tale
Shopping dilemma
I reaaally want new shoes (because I didn't buy any in London...) so I'm scrolling all over the internet looking for a nice pair. But what kind of shoes do I want? Vans, booties, heels, brogues? I'd probably buy them all if I had the money...but I don't. To make it a bit worse, Christmas is coming, so I also have to buy presents for the family...
They just opened a Steve Madden store in Rotterdam, wich has absolutely gorgeous shoes. If I wait till the end of the month, I can buy a beautiful pair of Steve Maddens, just in time for new years eve. I think I'll just stick to that idea!
About christmas presents, does anyone have an idea to buy for the boyfriend? I would love it if you're willing to share it with me, cause I don't have a clue.

It's London calling
We were walking to Trafalger Square when all these busses came around the corner, and there were coming more and more...like there was no end. Was funny to see, so I took a picture of it.
Weekend
Had a damned great time in London, wish I could stay...UK always feels like home to me.
Anyway, bought some great stuff, pics will follow!
Have to go back to study now, motivation is hard to find...(history of arts, quite boring to read)
LONDON ARE YOU READY?!
I've been in the UK so many times, since I was a little girl, but never in London...
Anyway I'll be home sundaynight so You'll get the whole travelling story monday.
