NOVEMBER FAVOURITES | BLOGMAS DAY 2

Hi there!

Welcome to day 2 of blogmas..

As it's now December and I haven't done my November Favourites yet, I thought it would be good to do those today, before we go into the hardcore Christmas stuff.

I would also like to apologise for the quality of the photos in this post. School, cameras and winter lighting don't make very good ones...

Moving on.

FIRSTLY. ADELE. WOW. SHIT. SORRY, I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT.

SURPRISE! | BLOGMAS DAY 1

Hi there!

Surprise!

Well, this might not be a very big surprise, as I've already announced this on Twitter AND Instagram, but, it is nevertheless exciting to now be uploading the first (should've been second, yes then Rosaly, great start) post of BLOGMAS 2015.

Anyway.

Maybe not all of you peeps know what blogmas is, hence why the first post is completely dedicated to explaining the entire thing. #LAZY, I know.

OUTFIT: I CAN'T GO BACK

Hi there!

* VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION AT THE END OF THIS POST !!! *

Today I finally have another outfit for y'all!!! It's been sooooo long since I did one of these - due to lack of time and LAZINEZZ. All the free time I did actually have I spent on watching Perception - gosh, love that show - instead of going out, seeing friends and shooting outfit photos... But when I do, finally, it is ten times as great.

Umm. Rosaly, I don't know about that.

Anyhow.

About a week ago - *starts rapping Hot N'gga* 'OKAY ROSALY, CONCENRATE!' - I went to Vinnies with Pam. It was absolutely delightful and what follows is the result of a lovely afternoon with one of the loveliest people.

79 HOURS IN PARIS | #2

Hi there!

So nearly a week ago I published a snippet of the story / recap of  Paris I've been working on, and I got a really positive response - aka people at school questioning me to find out when the next part is gonna be out - so, as long as it stays that way, I thought I'd upload a chapter - or as I usually call it: an 'hour' - or so every week! Yay or nay? Comment below ;)

Okay, here we go again.

79 HOURS IN PARIS | #1

Hi there!

As you may or may not know, on the 13th of October I hopped on the train to Paris with school. I was planning on doing a short recap, but nope. No alternative universe allows me to make that amazing trip into a SHORT recap.

As I love not only writing about things I like, I also love writing stories. So I thought that I would put my experiences of Paris into a story and maybe make this into a series of some sort. If you like it. That's why the most important thing you have to do on this very moment is read my story and comment below whether you thought it was good or not.

:)

I am quite nervous for this to go up because I have actually never shared any of my stories with the world wide web before and to be completely honest, I am quite scared to be judged very hard.
But, for the future's sake, here we go.

OCTOBER FAVOURITES

Hi there!

It's a bit late, but, as the calender shows another next month - NOVEMBER, WHAT?! EASTER WAS LIKE... YESTERDAY?! -, here are my October Favourites:

My apologies in advance for crappy quality, but the colder months inevitably come with less light and my camera is not a big fan.

As it was Halloween on the last day of October, I threw a last-minute Halloween party for a few of my friends. As I'd never done this before - we don't really celebrate Halloween in Holland - I freaked out a little bit because all of a sudden I had to transform my house into a spooky hideaway. I had precisely 48 hours, including time to sleep, do homework and go to school, so I think a little bit of stress was allowed. Anyhow, the one thing I could think of in a short period of time was: carving pumpkins. So I dragged my exhausted self to the supermarket, scored a beautiful pumpkin, went home and carved my precious pumpkinny. And she turned out perfect.

RECIPE: AUTUMN PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE FAIL

Hi there!

It's getting cold and Halloween is just around the corner - it's literally tomorrow -, which can only mean one thing. It's Autumn. Some of you have been waiting for it since Christmas, others might not be as pleased with the frequent rain and cold wind that have made their entry in our everyday lives. I include myself in that last category. I do like some aspects that come with Autumn - like I made clear last year in this post -, but I just don't get why people would want to go outside and go for long walks when it's absolutely freezing your blimmin' nose off. Obviously, in films they make it all very romantic with scarves and cuddles and leaves that have turned the park into a beautiful orange and red duvet, but in reality, it hardly ever is like that. For me, anyway.

But, unless I move to California tomorrow, I'm going to have to deal with it - every single year - and I'm planning on doing that by doing one thing, and one thing only: baking. Because if there's anything that can cheer me up in these dark cold rainy days - I'm exaggerating, I know, but you should hear me when it gets to Winter - it's curling up on the couch and watching a movie or reading a good book with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and some home made deliciousness. Should my baking succeed, that is. Sometimes it's absolutely inedible, but yeah, life happens.

PACKING FOR PARIS

Hi there!

It's 6.19 AM at the moment and I'm going to make this a very short post because, well, time.

As I said it's 6.19 AM and to be honest, it's been a while since I've been up and awake - and on the internet - this early. I'm also about to catch a train to Paris. #nevvous

As I usually struggle with what to pack when I go away - do I take a dress? do I take heels? do I take jewellery? how cold is going to be? do I need to take one or two pairs of jeans? have I got enough socks? etc. etc. - I thought I would share with you what I grabbed out of my closet, laid out neatly on my bed and dumped in my bag this time.

I'M GOING TO PARIS?!

Hi there,

I don't know about you, but for me, school isn't as bad as I always say it is. For instance, in exactly one week, they're taking my year to Berlin, London and... PARIS. Fancy eh?

So me and twenty-nine other people are expected to be up and ready to go on the thirteenth of October, exactly 9 A.M. at platform fifteen (Amsterdam Central Station). Anyone wanna come and wave goodbye? ;)

This is how excited I am:

SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

Hi there!

It's now officially November, which means Autumn, which means cosy scarfs, berry lips and a LOT of orange, brown, yellow and red. But before I start rambling about how much I love Autumn and November and blah blah blah, first, let's look back on September...

Little warning, I'm ill at the moment, and don't have a lot of inspiration, so this post may not be up to my usual standard... Anyways.

My favourites have often included beauty related stuff, like body butter and perfumes, but this month, there is none of that, and a lot of just random items.
