New Boughts

Hello, I'm showing you some some new clothes I could but during the sales. I still want to go chopping tomorrow after my exams! I still think I need to catch up sales x) and I need relaxation as well. Those exams are stressing me out. =) Well enjoy the pictures :)  xxx Ruby

I see the lights

Last Friday I went to the lichtfestival of Gent. That's eh a festival of light :) This year was the second edition of it, and actually the first time I've heard of it.

It was the most wonderful thing I've ever seen and I'm not exaggerating!
Al ready when we arrived in the centre of the city to eat something, there was a weird, magical atmosphere. We decided to eat outside on the terrace and kept telling each other that it felt like the Revolution (if you know Bobejaanland) or Droomvlucht (if you know de Efteling) or Disneyland (but I've never been there), anyway you get my point. It was amazing.

Unfortunately we didn't had a map so we just followed the mass. And that's why we didn't saw everything, but what we've seen already was definitely impressive.
Untill next year?

And tonight is the last time, take your chance I'd say! :)


PS. I forgot to tell you the best part!
Last year the difference in energy use was barely noticable, and this time it won't be different.
There are used 55 000 LED-lights with each just 20kWh and the blue birds from Maeterlinck (second pic) are even energy-neutralizing!

Tagged again

We're tagged by Maria from keepgoingthegoodwork. Thank you so much darling! Normally I'm not so much into the tagging thing, but it might be fun for you, if you like to learn some more about us :)
So we'll give up our "precious" study time for a while and fill in these questions.


1. Who's your biggest hero?
Siel: Alix, Betty, Jane, Ivania, ...
Ruby: Fashionzen, Cherry Blossom Girl, WishWishWish,...

2. Describe yourself in one word.
Siel: Mmm difficult. I guess I'll take lady
Ruby: Dreamer *-*

3. Do you regret something badly?
Siel: I once called a girl fat on a social network site when I was about 14 I think (she was a classmate of a friend of mine). Afterwards I noticed she checked my profile (I didn't know she was even on that site) and I felt sooooo guilty! Still actually. Every time I see her I feel deeply ashamed and hope that she has forgotten.
Ruby: Mmm... I think I always feel guilty when I have been mean to someone, and I really regret those moments because, the band with that person most of the time never gets healed, but I hope I'm not mean very much =P

4. Do you like brand clothing?
Siel: I have to admit I do. But I can be completely happy with vintage items also. I love everything ;)
Ruby: Yes, I'm longing for my first Prada shoes, but I'm satisfied with cheap items :)

5. Are you happy with yourself?
Siel: Yes, most of the time I am. I'm not perfect, I do have complexes, but I can live with that. Nobody is perfect.
Ruby: Sometimes, and sometimes not. It really depends on how I'm feeling that day.

6. What was your biggest fail?
Siel: My public exam (of the secondary grade) of flute. Big fail due the nerves. Also had to do a piece by heart, and had a total black out. Worst. Moment. Ever.
Ruby: I follow Siel's answer, my exam Art History, I had a black out and I can't even believe I forgot everything. It feels so bad when you sit before your teacher and you don't know what to say anymore. It gives me the chills when I think about it again.

7. What's your favourite music genre?
Siel: Hmm I love almost all of them, but some rock and roll or other vintage-like music always makes me happy. :)
Ruby: I love a lot! Soundtracks, Classic, at the moment I really adore the music of Phriscila Ahn!

8. When was the last time you laughed loudly?
Siel: It wasn't the last time, but it was something I won't forget. :) I asked my dad the day before New Year's Eve if he wanted to drive me home then. He answered sighing: "You wont have a boyfriend by then?"
Ruby: I think me and my twin can always laugh loudly about the most silly things!

9. Which moments you'll never forget?
Siel: Holidays end camps are the best <3
Ruby: I hope I will never forget good times!

10. What are your hobbies?
Siel: Music! I play the flute for 10 years now (Uhh that sounds like a lifetime!) and another flute (blockflöte in German) for 9 years :) But further I love reading and learning new things about fashion.
Ruby: I stopped ballet after 13 years, and now I don't actually have a hobby anymore. Perhaps one called school.

11. What makes you happy?
Siel: When Ruby and I are getting crazy about some creative idea. We can talk about it for hours and constantly inspire each other :)
Ruby: I agree with Siel! Those moments are the best! :)


I hope you enjoyed reading!

Love,
Siel & Ruby

I see...

In the very beginning of this blog Ruby and I liked to discuss our art history lessons here. We talked once about the similarity between Munch and Tim Burton's characters. Now high school is over we've both gone other ways (still studying art though). But I noticed some things lately which I absolutely wanted to show you, in memory of those old days. :)

It all started when I stumbled on this picture:

Female study by John W. Waterhouse, 1894, source: wikipedia

She reminded me of Anna Boleyn in the television series of The Tudors. (Natalie Dormer)

Then I saw this painting:

The Northwest Passage by John E. Millais, 1878, source: wikipedia

The first thing that came up in my head was Kate Winslet!

pics from the lovely movie Finding Neverland

Then while studying for an exam lately I noticed something special about the next painting.

Sisyphus by Titian, 1550, source: wikipedia

Get a closer look...

 I present you...

TOOTHLESS from the movie How to train your dragon !

And then it got even worse!

I started seeing faces, or at least one face, in my bread bag !!

(If you have a better word for it or you can assume me that bread bag is a proper word please tell me! :p )

Now the big question is,
Am I becoming crazy ?


Slightly worried greetings,
Siel
