New Look favorites

We don't have a New Look store here in Amsterdam, but the times I've been there in other cities, I have never really found anything. When I was browsing their webshop, however, I found tons of lovely things!

Now I'm quite excited for them to open in Amsterdam. Does anyone know when? I've just heard rumours.

I'm sick today. But luckily there's the second season of Bored to Death.

I'm just a tiny little bit in love with Jason Schwartzman. ♥

I got a lovely new dress from Miss Patina. Look at the amazing details; the fabric and the pearl-embellished collar!

I took this photo almost a year ago and I don't know why I never used it. I really wish I had the energy to be more creative again. I don't know where my time goes.

I was featured with an interview on Keep The Good Work Going.

Yesterday the lovely boys of the New Wine played at Paradiso. Elke and I met them a long time ago in Rotterdam. Was so nice to see them again. Listen listen listen! (Especially if you're into The Whitest Boy Alive. Or dancing.)

The New Wine - I Had To Tell You (live)

I got pretty drunk yesterday so today was supposed to be hangover day, but I had to go to school for our magazine's launch-presentation, which was of course celebrated with MORE DRINKS.

And then it gets dark so fast that I didn't have time for blogphotos. Tonight is going to be double-hangover-night starring Laura Gommans as Paul Rudd Fangirl.

HAIR

I've been getting some questions about my hair: how I style it, what products I use, etc. So I thought I'd do a hair-post!

I made a little video to show you how I get some volume into my hair.


As for products, I don't use that much. The most important thing is that your hair is healthy, so use a nice caring shampoo. I use Gliss with shea butter. I don't use conditioner that often cause it makes my hair heavy and it gets greasy faster. Instead I use a good hairtreatment once a week. I love Bonacure Amino Cell Rebuild (pictured left).

After washing I blowdry my bangs and just blow though the rest not-so-thoroughly. I find it better to let the last bit dry naturally, so it doesn't get completely straight. Then I put some Osis+ Dust It powder (pictured right) on the roots of my hair. Awesome product for volume!

Other things that help my hair:

-Important: always comb your hair BEFORE showering. Your hair breaks about a million times easier when it's wet, so make sure you get all tangles out before you wash it!

-I'm always quite reluctant to getting haircuts cause I'm afraid they'll cut off too much, but a while ago I got my hair cut into lots of layers and I find it so much easier to manage, now. Looks a ton healthier and it seems to be growing faster, too.

-Most of the time I sleep with my hair in a bun to get some waves in there.

Note that my hair is very thin and and smooth and straight, your hair might be completely different, so these products and tips might not work as well for you as they do for me.

If you have any other questions regarding hair or anything else, you can ask me on Formspring or just leave a comment!

Halloween

Here are a few pictures from Halloween, I was Dorothy in a Miss Patina dress and H&M blouse. Daniel was a gypsy beggar cause we didn't care to spend money on a costume, haha. He was wearing eyeliner!
