50 Books to read before you die

Quite some time ago, my parents bought me a bookmark with a list:
50 Books to read before you die.
On the list are a lot of famous must-read books. Since I'm a huge fan of reading I really hope to read the whole list. And I figured.. The next months I have some free time... So this is the challenge: I have to read those 50 Books this year. That means I've got a lot of reading to do. I'll post a little something about each book. Fortunately, I already read a few of them. Unfortunately, the list begins with The Lord of the Rings triology, which of course are three books instead of one. We have Lord of the Rings in or book collection at home and I will start tomorrow. I kind of wonder if I'm not asking too much, but wish me luck!

Interior Inspiration

I'm painting and decorating my new room next week so I'm constantly thinking about colours and furniture and wonderful things to make it my own little place it the house. I figured you wouldn't mind seeing some inspiration.

I love pastel and light colours, so my room is going to be very light purple with a lot of white.

There's going to be a wall like this, probably a bit smaller where I can collect different things I love.

I have a lot of books and picture frames and what they did with this wall looks fun.
I like the feeling of this room, but I'm not that fond of the couch.


I think you get the look I'm going for. I hope it turns out very pretty :)

It's finally over. I'm done with school. At least for the next three months. If I've done the exams good enough that is. But for now, I'll just assume that I did. So, I'll have plenty of time to post some lovely things. (I have a few fun small projects going on that I want to show you.)

Stupid Fox!

Yesterday I found an amazing cartoon on DeviantArt! It's called Stupid Fox and is made by http://silentreaper.deviantart.com/! 

Here are a few cartoons of this little fox! ^^.

I think she is amazingly talented and I hope to see a lot more of her soon!

I know, I know.. I'm not suppose to write anything on our blog until my exams are over. But this morning I had an exam (art) and the next one (physics) is not until friday. So, I've allowed myself to post a 5 Looks. For you who don't visit this blog often, every now and then I post 5 Looks I love and get inspiration from and I hope that you'll enjoy it too. This time: Stripes!

I love how simple this is. I'm not a huge fan of the jeans though.

By Marysia

Maybe it's a little too much zebra, but I think it looks very elegant :)

By Rachel Marie

I always like a nice simple dress!

By Sarah

You won't see me wearing those shorts anytime soon! But you've got to admit, it really gets your attention. And she looks great in them.

By Andrea

This one is just fun. And it's a really nice sweater.

Now I'm off to study some more. Wish me luck! ;)
