style to be free

take off ...

2008-09-19T20:47:00.004+02:00

i haven't been writing for too long. i've just been working my ass off.
and now, on sunday, we're leaving for a trip to central asia - uzbekistan and turkmenistan. we're seeing parts of the "silk road".
exciting this may be. but i'm frightened this time. maybe they were too many planes coming down in the last time. and i've got too much work undone. not good.
but maybe it will even be better over there then. at least, it's summer over there. ;-)

cross your fingers for me to make it back home safely. if so, we will be back on october 3rd. ;-)

if you can't decide which colour to take ...

2008-09-04T15:01:00.002+02:00

... take both! (just as i did) :-)

i absolutely looooove the red ones. :-)

and that's today's dinner:

i'd like to have tons of it!

shorter hair evidence

2008-07-26T12:01:00.003+02:00

okay, after thinking for quite a while, here's a photo of my new short hair.

don't have a good long hair photo right now. they were about 15 to 20 cm longer i think, going over the bladebones.

haircut

2008-07-24T11:58:00.004+02:00

well, a lot of my hair is gone. i think almost 2 years of growth have been cut off. i still have to get used to it. strange.

just ordered :-)

2008-07-20T13:23:00.007+02:00

i work all day this month. i mean, seriously, weekends as well. got up very early today again (sunday). uuuurrrghh.
so i thought i could get a little reward for my efforts. ;-)
here's what i ordered from asos today:

(been looking for this kind of loose shirts for quite long)

and this is on my wish list on topshop:

i'm sooo bad

2008-07-20T13:13:00.006+02:00

i wanted to eat healthy today. really.
but then i had

new screensaver

i love the little coloured bubbles jumping across the screen. :-D

tatuum summer dress

2008-07-16T19:15:00.003+02:00

... and details of it.

it's a double-layered soft dress which reminds me of a little girl's childhood dress, because of the pockets and bows. little bit like a pinafore. plus, of course, it's chequered. ;-)

can't wait for summer to return, so i can wear it. :-)

today's outfit

2008-07-15T17:31:00.003+02:00

jacket: review
blouse: tatuum
belt: boyfriend ;-)

one of the best labels

2008-07-15T14:51:00.008+02:00

... is tatuum. i really need to recommend it here.

they make very comfy clothes from very soft and natural materials. everything is so nice to touch (and to wear), made from linen and soft cotton. it looks very straight and cool, sometimes quite cute and playful. and it's not even expensive.

i already got tons of clothes from them. i even own the dress the girl down here is wearing in the campaign (you can only see the straps of the dress).

i'm gonna post some photos of what i bought from them soon.

scandinavian summer

2008-07-13T09:14:00.011+02:00

yesterday, we just had to waste some time before going to the olympic stadium, so we went to a shopping street. honestly, we were much to tired to do "real" shopping. getting up at 5 in the morning (and today as well) plus going out until late, was very much to take.
anyway, at least we made it into one shop (peek & cloppenburg). i bought this leather jacket there, and i loooove it (very soft):

they call the collection "scandinavian summer" - a claim i like :-). actually, i wanted to have a new leather jacket with a zipper. but i loved this colour, and the sleeves are much softer than at the zipper jacket i tried. plus, my man didn't like the other jacket. he liked the above one more, but not the colour. buying it was a compromise between the two of us ;-). so i thought i could try something new and do buttons. and after all, i haven't seen many girls wearing leather jackets with buttons. ;-)
i bough a grey-striped kinda dress as well, plus a chequered one (yeah, sorry) and a light purple shirt. will publish pictures later.

and i just saw this blouse on their homepage:

didn't see it in the shop. i definitely need to go there again. :-)
and i want this one, too:

jesus, i really shop too much these times ... :-(

in a manner of speaking

2008-07-13T09:09:00.006+02:00

i loooooove this version from nouvelle vague!

loving it!

i loooove them! so comfy!

ode to my man!

2008-07-05T15:58:00.006+02:00

imagine: you got a perfect boyfriend, he likes shopping, doesn't get annoyed waiting in the changing room area, picking clothes for you in a shop on his own, saying "that would look good on you", forcing you to try the other shop for the special little piece you're looking for, saying "let's go to ... and try to find it there". and on top of that: he's the most handsome and prettiest guy in the world.
and now imagine: this guy is MINE!
he's just adorable. :-)

i want them

2008-07-05T12:31:00.005+02:00

fell in love with these boots. but too expensive for me. well, actually. hope i can resist.

there must be the one

2008-07-04T16:16:00.001+02:00

not that i'm demanding impossible things. it's just a flat. a simple little flat. is that so hard to understand? but after looking for one for six months now, i still couldn't find a good one. all i see is either ugly, expensive, dark or all together.
please! there must be the one! it MUST! :-(

gifts, gifts, gifts

2008-06-30T15:30:00.005+02:00

what a lovely birthday i had! i got the best sweetheart in the world. he was sooo cute and spent much time in preparing many presents for me (great job, honey!).
and most of the gifts were an evidence for the fact that he listens to little things i mention. like casually saying "i like that" or "that would be great to have". he's a real sweetheart. :-)
the cutest present was a little tree which i gotta plant somewhere - not that i'd know where to plant that thing. but a great idea, anyway.
and what a lovely card he wrote!
honey, i love you! kisses! :-x

and, well, the tree looks cute and fragile right now. but they can easily be 100 metres high - well, they're called mammoth trees (real name: sequoia sempervirens). so this is what it might look like some day:

are you as scared as i am? :-O

birthday heart

2008-06-30T15:21:00.003+02:00

that's what my mum did for my birthday:

isn't she cute?

*smile*

tomorrow...

2008-06-28T19:22:00.001+02:00

... it's my birthday. jesus! i feel old. and after all: girls in a certain age mostly don't get these cute little presents that they're used to - personal, charming and a little girlie-like. you get more of the you-might-need-this-tablecloth presents. grrrrr.
but there's still my sweetheart - and it seems he's planning a lot. i'm excited. :-)

the last to know

2008-06-27T20:04:00.001+02:00

actually, i'm a really smart and well-informed little human. but wow, how did i miss the fact that i don't have to go to oxford street all the time to shop topshop, asos and stuff like that? am i really the last to know? that's embarrassing. gosh, you can just order in many stores and have it directly sent to you. okay, i'm woken up. hooray...! and now i'm doing everything to catch up and shop as much as i can. silly me. poor bank account.

p.s.: can anybody tell me if i can shop "new look" online pan-european?

must have

2008-06-21T16:35:00.004+02:00

seen at oasis online.

why don't they ship pan-european?? grrrr....

new tv job

2008-06-20T16:05:00.003+02:00

i startet a further freelance job for tv. well, let's say it's a big news channel *blink*. ;-)
it's exciting, but sooo exhausting! sometimes i gotta get up at 3:00 in the morning. but i like it.
we'll see where it leads me to ...

trip to israel

2008-05-08T16:10:00.002+02:00

we've been to israel. that was what i call exciting. i've met so many interesting people. and i hopefully fell in love with jerusalem. really gotta go back one day.
