no more McQueen?

Ik logde vandaag -net dus- heel braaf in op mijn laptop, dronk thee en begon wat in 't rond te klikken, en wat zie ik nu?! Alexander McQueen heeft zelfmoord gepleegd?
Nu waren we niet close (lees: we kenden elkaar niet) maar die zag ik ook niet aankomen. Zeer merkwaardig.

Maar, als trouw liefhebster van de mode (al is het met mate en volg ik eigenlijk niets..) moet ik toch zeggen dat we hier écht iets aan missen.

Oh ja, de bron: http://www.fashionscene.nl/pages.php?page=602853

Ik wens de mijnblognietlezende nabestaanden, familie en, let's face it, fans veel succes in deze niet alleen zware maar ook koude (in mijn geval dan) tijden.
















en nu ga ik heel asociaal vertellen dat ik het zwaar kut vind dat mijn Forever21 order nog niet binnen is, darn it!

Mijn dank is groot en mijn liefde is puur,

Floor

Blah.

Zet het in je telefoon, schrijf het op je linkerhand, over elf dagen ben ik jarig! Ja, lieve lezer (if at all), over slechts elf dagen ben ik zestien. Ik heb er echt zin in. Nou ja, zin in? Ja, zin in, denk ik. Het zou denk ik wel goed voelen, jarig zijn. Ik ben het niet zo vaak, dus het is toch elke keer weer speciaal.

Het is trouwens een feit: mijn camera is kapot. Ik weet niet hoe -ie het heeft gedaan, ik wist niet dat-ie het in zich had, ik heb 'm nooit iets roods te eten gegeven (wrample uit 'De Plant van Jan'). Maar het is zo, en het is niet anders.

Overigens, gaat iemand nog iets doen op Valentijnsdag? Het is een cliché vraag en het is eigenlijk meer om geïnteresseerd te lijken dan om ook echt iets te vragen, het is een feit dat ik er niets mee heb. Commercieel en onzin. Ja, dat zeggen ze allemaal, die singles. Ha, daar heb je 't weer, zo'n cliché.

Misschien is het maar beter dat ik ophoud, nu. Ik vraag me sterk af hoe ik journalist wil worden als ik niet eens een blog vol krijg. Misschien komt het door het woord 'blog', ik heb het altijd vies vinden klinken. Maargoed, 't is mooi, 't is klaar, 't is goed, 't is gedaan (jajaja, wrample uit 'Boerderij' van Roosbeef).


Mijn dank is groot (alleen als je 't gelezen hebt.) en mijn liefde is puur,

Floor.

latest buys

I appologise for the absence - I had stuff to do, planning a birthday party for one. yes yes, it's my sweet sixteen in a mere 18 days!

now that's over, let me show you some of my most recent purchases. it's not much and they're all pictures taken from the internet because it seems that my compact camera has passed away, which is strange, I hardly ver use it. once the forever21 items (recent order - yesterday, in fact) have arrived I will take pictures but until then, this is what you've got.

oh and by the way, I have a different pair of shoes that looks like the Ferragamo's - they're black and white with a red sole and red inside. the sole isn't too red anymore because I wear them almost non stop, but I adore those babies.

pictures coming soon (I hope)!

Oh, daar komt bij dat ik denk dat ik besluit om m'n blog in het Nederlands te doen (once in a blue moon, that is). Waarom? Omdat ik al 24/7 Engels spreek en het af en toe wel even genoeg vind. Laat mij afsluiten met een sterk Flooriaanse uitspraak:
Mijn dank is groot en mijn liefde is puur.

GOOOOOOODMOOOORNING VIETNAM!

I'm sorry, I'm all about Robin Williams.

My god people, I'm so sorry I haven't been posting lately! Reason? I'm ill (not sure what it is yet. I just got back from my doctor and he wants to run some tests. Great.) and incredibly tired. Oh well, shit happens.

It's not as if I'd have some interesting clothing shots though, I've been wearing the simplest clothes this week, too tired to dress (think trousers with a blazer or sweater, dull eh?) The other itty bitty problem: my camera's decided not to work and even if it did, it's too dark right now. I'll write it on my hand, maybe do it tomorrow (short day, although I do have to go to the hospital to have some crazy chick steal my blood). I'll try to remember. No, really, I will, cause I went shopping about two weeks ago, something I hardly ever do so it's pretty big. yeah.

Well, it's been a week... School's fine but busy, not like you (nor I) care, but oh well, I thought I'd mention. And.... I may be going to the new (new? two monthsish old) Primark in Rotterdam! Maybe I'm not though, cause my best friend's abroad at the moment and I'd prefer to go with her. I'll let you know (probably). More updates tomorrow! I need to get out, so I may go.

By the way: I have a little question. Nothing significant, but right now, what's your favourite perfume? Or do you prefer to go 'naked'? Mine's either nothing or Cacharel's Scarlett. Damn, that is one gooooood perfume you guys! Anyway, let me know (:

I don't like Mondays.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting too much lately. Not that you care, non-existing readers, but anyway, I'm sorry. I've been really busy with school, mostly, but I've been able to squeeze in some time to go shopping with my grandmother! I have no pictures though. Why? Because I'm so busy that by the time I get home and I've eaten something, made a cup of tea, it's dark and my room isn't that well lit, even though I have quite a bright chandelier (I'll probably post something about my room in the (near?) future) but my room stays too dark for pictures.

Anyway, I'm going to this gig next Thursday! I'll be watching the Bohemes perform. These young lads come from the Hague and I've been to a gig once before, I can't remember when, though.. Oh well, their music is pretty cool and the bass player is cute (:
Note: I didn't go see the Bohemes after all.. I was supposed to go with A. but she was ill and I didn't want to go alone. We might go 'n see them in Delft this December though (:


I'll let you know how it was & maybe I'll post some pictures tomorrow. If I have enough time, that is. I mean, believe it or not, but at this moment school is more important than Internet. O rly? Yes rly.

I like this song. Well, not the entire history, but I like the song. It's always on my mind on Mondays like these (and because it's Monday, YouTube won't let me post the video on my blog. Oh well, I never liked YouTube anyways.)

people I admire

First one is Chan Marshall (singer/songwriter, stagename Cat Power). I love her because of her music and the way it makes me feel. Honestly, I'd love to be like her. Unfortunately, I can't sing one bit. Furthermore, she's a normal girl, I think. She looks ordinary, the girl next door, and yet I think she is beautiful.




Next on my list is Holland's own Ellen ten Damme. I wouldn't mind to be like her either! She is or has been an actress, singer and amazing person. If interested, you can watch her in the BNN show Ranking the Stars. Of course, you can also visit one of her shows (I would love to!), for information visit her website (bottom of this post).
I once saw a kind of show with a college band plus another band, I can't really remember, it was a huge orchestra and she sung. In the first place I came because my cousin played in the orchestra, he plays the trombone, but when I heard her sing, I fell in love. I wished it'd taken longer, but oh well. Sorry for the lack of information, but I don't want this to be a gigantic post.




Now, I wouldn't want to be this guy but I'd love to be with him! Honestly, I am a big fan of Neil Robertson. He's an Australian snooker player and I am crazy about him! No, not obsessed, even though my best friend thinks I am, I'm not! By the way, I'm not going to write down what he's won, it's too much. (okay, maybe this year's Grand Prix. The finals (versus the Chinese Ding) weren't all that exciting but damn it, that semi-final versus John Higgins! That was a hell of a match!). Without further a do, I present to you... Neil Robertson!




Before people get all upset for not posting credits or what not; these pictures were simply taken from Google and for more information you can visit their websites, Cat Power, Ellen ten Damme and last, but not least, Neil Robertson. I'm sorry if anything posted is not correct and if so, I'd very much appreciate it if you could correct me (: thanks.

shoes&music

I went shoeshopping today. Before I continue, you people need to know I appear to have strange feet. NOTHING FITS. Honestly, I curse a lot (I'm trying to quit but I know I won't) and I don't think I've ever cursed this much in say two to three hours. I tried on six pairs and fell in love with one (they were gorgeous, red, heeled... I wanted to marry 'em) and naturally, I fit nothing. They either didn't have my size or the shoes wouldn't fit.

I think I'm going to be unhappy for the rest of my life (read: rest of the day) but tomorrow I'm going to give it another shot, I'm going to the Hague. I should go early, because I need clothes as well. Really, I can't remember the last time I went shopping. Usually I hate spending money, but now I actually have money and lack clothes, so no problem there.

No pictures today, no fur, haha.. I could take a picture of my outfit, but I look like shit today. I'll think about it, but for now, a song.. It's by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, it's called 'Woodstock' and if you're interested in buying or downloading it, it's from the album Déjà Vu.
