All The Right Moves

We are both very into the new song of OneRepublic. I've always liked their music, but now they also have an amazing video for their new single. It reminds me a little bit of Moulin Rouge. Full of dancing, gold, red, masks, gentlemen and big dresses. We have a few pictures for you. Enjoy! And the song with video:

H&M Wishlist

Finally my H&M wishlist ^^. Have fun :)


I'm not a huge strapless-dress-fan but this one is really cute I think ^^.There was also one with black instead of blue, but on this one I think the blue is better than the black. (and you won't here me say that a lot ;) ^^.)



I think this kimono-inspired-dress is really amazing! The colours are beautiful, and so are the patterns. I also think the material will make it lovely to wear ^^. I think this Chanel-inspired-vest is really cute! You can wear it with anything and it will look classy! Also the black/white combination will always do it for me ;)

.SPRING is on it's way and that makes me sooo happy :D This year there will be a 3-week-vacation to Thailand, so I will be needing those shorts ^^.Since the first time I saw this cute belt (cause that is what it's meant for) I am in love with it. To bad I think it's way to expensive. It is still really cute though.. just have to wait for sale ^^.I think this bracelet is very classy, you can't wear it on a normal schoolday, which makes it something special. I loooove these shoes! I know the heel is high (ouch), I know there is this weird snakeprint (yuk) and I know there are these little golden studs (little dislike for gold, silver is so much prettier).. but I love the whole feeling of it! They're just beautiful. Weird actually. I think the combination of all those things I normally dislike makes them so pretty. Hihi.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my little dreams and wishes ^^. Tell me what you think!
And for now, have a nice day :D

Book Covers

Remember the Album covers? Weren't they lovely?
I went through my collection of books and I selected the prettiest ones. I know you can't judge a book by it's cover. But you can judge the cover.

Blue is definetely my favourite colour. I love the little drawings in the different shades of blue. I got this little book from my little sister. I immediately fell in love with the cover. It's so cute. And after reading it, I can say I love the content too. The book is filled with little fairytales.Do you know 'Wreck my Journal'? You should! It's an amazing way to explore different things and simply be creative. But it's about the cover here. I love the simple look of it. The tape is a funny detail. It isn't pretty or anything. It looks like something you could have done yourself. In this case, that's a good thing!Fleur got me this lovely book. She went to New York and visisted an exposition about paper. The book is filled with little papercuttings like the one on the cover. Isn't it amazing? Thank you Fleur!I bought this book last week. It's a modern cover with sweet colours and details. It's also a lovely story. But that's not what this article is about.This is a special book. Not only the cover is a quite interesting drawing, the whole book is filled with drawings. The drawings tell the story. I love how the cover really represents the mood of the book. I have a little weakness for drawn covers. ^^

Do you know any pretty bookcovers?

Ps. I'll ask Fleur to do her H&M Wishlist tomorrow.. I'd love to see what she found.

H&M Wishlist

Last November I did a H&M Wishlist post. I love H&M. You can't walk out that store without buying anything. It's just impossible. A few weeks ago I got a catalogue with the new spring collection, but I'm not that fond of it. There are a lot of lovely things, but not in the colour that I would like. Or they have a nice colour, but I don't like the clothes. Anyway, I managed to find a few pretty items I wouldn't mind owning. It wasn't that hard.


I really like this top. It's simple and elegant. I love how they used another fabric for those stylish details.

I don't have a lot of colour in my wardrobe. There's a lot of black, grey, white, blue, brown and sometimes a little purple. But I really like this blouse. It looks like a happy person would wear it. :)

This is one of those pieces of clothing that I absolutely adore, but I wish it came in another colour. I think it's a pretty dress, but I already own some little black dresses. It also comes in a very strong blue and a vague pink. I'd love to see a light blue or some light purple.

These kind of skirts are it. I love them. I wouldn't normally wear them with such a print, but I like it. Especially the blue/purple colour. Very pretty.

You can't have enough of these. They're warm, comfy and you can where them over a dress with a belt, or just over your shirt. And I even thinks it looks kinda good. :)
A blue blouse. With lovely details. Isn't it cute? And last, but not least, a comfy sweater. Which will probably look as if you just trew it on. Which you probably did. But who cares. With a simple pair of jeans and my hair in a braid. :)



I will try to persuade Fleur to make her own H&M Wishlist, although our styles are much alike, I know she'll pick a few other amazing pieces.

What are your favourite items?

DIY Mixtape

Do you know those moments when you are looking for the perfect, creative -and hopefully not too expensive- gift? I do. I have such amazing friends and I don't always let them know how much I appreciate them. So a while ago I read about a lovely DIY project. Once upon a time (when my parents were still youngh) people made mixtapes with special songs to tell somebody how much they cared about the other person. I love that idea. But we live in a new century. We have CD's now. :) Although they begin to get old too. Anyway. I came across this amazing DIY. Dylan Todd was a guest blogger on Smile and Wave. Just take a look at this pictures:



It's really simple and an lovely gift. You can read the whole article here. And you can download the cover here.

So I made a little mixtape for my friends. I didn't want to make it a boring mixtape full of beautiful, but boring and slow song. So I added a few songs that aren't ballads.

  1. I’ll be there for you – The Rembrandts
  2. Gift of a friend – Demi Lovato
  3. Right here – Miley Cyrus
  4. Better together – Jack Johnson
  5. True friends – Airto
  6. One and the Same – Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato
  7. Best Friends – Will.i.am
  8. Go – Boys Like Girls
  9. This afternoon - Nickelback
  10. I’ll stand by you – Carrie Underwood
  11. We go together - Grease
  12. This is the future – Owl City


But you can make any playlist you want for every person you want to cheer up.
I know it isn't my own idea, but I love it and thought I could share!
