Potverdekke

I just stumbled on this funny song !

It's from an Englishman who lived in Belgium for several years. I feel a bit patriotic while listening it, haha. It's a great ode to Belgium. The title is "potverdekke", which you can translate in something like "damn", "bloody"or "goddamned".

It appeared to be a giant hit in Belgium, in the late nineties. But I didn't noticed anything. Maybe I was too young back then :)

-edit-

And I really laughed my head off with this interview with Adele ! Hahaha you must see it !

I love Ushi interviews with celebrities xD

or this one with Amerika's next topmodel's catwalk coach !

Hahahaha I'm still laughing ! You'll understand why my study books haven't seen me so much as they should today ;)

Impressed

A while ago, a girl came to me and to me and asked if I'd like to model for her, while giving me her business card. I didn't knew her but I recognised her face (she's also studying arts like me). Of course I said yes, who wouldn't? ;) I was quit flattered actually! And in the beginning of December it finally happened. It was quit interesting actually to talk with her, and hear her visions about photography, and her work. It appeared that we shared the same opinion about 'recent photography', or what the owners call photography. And talking to her opened my view on photography completely! She's very inspiring.
She wanted a picture of me for her series of Look at me / don't look at me. Based on the idea of reflecting her characteristics on people she barely or doesn't know. After that she took another extra picture.

You'll understand that I had to google her afterwards, I was really curious about this girl! And I did found some interesting facts. She won 'De kunstbende', that's a big art competition for youth here in Belgium. She has exposed in the FOMU, photography museum of Antwerp(!). And her pictures will be shown in the book 'If you leave'. That was an online, international contest by the Belgian Laurence von Thomas. He selected the best picture from all over the world, and only one Belgian photographer was good enough, just her. (En voor de Belgen onder jullie, ze stond deze zomer ook in Focus Knack)

Those who've read all those text are probably curious about her. :) Well, her name is Stine Sampers, and believe me, she's going to be big! Check stinesampers.com or mikagesakurai.tumblr.com for more.

Singing on New Year's Eve

Hey there fellows, I have a new outfit post for you !
This was my outfit of 31 December, in the morning. Yes in the morning, cause I switched 3 times that day. :D
In the morning I went "new year's eve-singing". That a local tradition here, kids singing from door to door and getting candy or coins. Something like Halloween in America. Of course I'm way to old for this, I joined two cute little kiddos that I often babysitted (How do you conjugate babysitting?) last year.
Then in the evening I changed my outfit for dinner with some friends of my parents.
And after that I changed for going out, and celebrated new year's eve with my own friends, yay!

 

I feel truly ashamed for the bad quality, but I have the good news that I finally started saving for my own good camera !

This lovely skirt was bought a few days earlier while shopping with Ruby again. It was so happy to see her again. It's really annoying that we're living so far away and that school is taking so much of our time. Anyway, we had a good time :) I gave her a cute necklace from my niece's jewellery collection as Christmas present, I hope she liked it! And I'm superduper curious about the present I'll get :D

See ya next time !

Trend predictions of 2012

Yay, my first post this year!

And now the trend predictions of 2012. (I warn you I'm not that good in it haha, decide for yourself!)
Like someone said on the previous post it will be pretty much the same as last year.
The colour blocking trend was huge last year, so I think it will decrease more and more.
And finally it might lead to white, yes bright white! With a touch minimalism probably, and a touch of neon possibly.

H&M ss 2012 (loove the skirt and dress!)

Also snakeskin had his chance, but didn't made it. So bye bye snaky! Even space prints may have come to their peak and go down, and down, and down.
Maxi skirts will be adapted more and more. Welcome assymetric skirts, see through skirt, skirts with special cuts, etc. Like it started in 2011, it will break through and become very hip in 2012.

edit: Even Andy introduced the new year with an assymetric skirt! So, am I right or am I right about the trend? :D

And of course this is just the beginning, 2012 will be filled with trends. I'm looking forward to it, I hope you're too ! Have a great 2012 !

Love, Siel
