The Liebster award!

Jen from Charming Silence nominated me for the Liebster award! So what is it all about? It's a way for new bloggers to get their blog more noticed to the blogging community. And a fun way to add new blogs for your blog reading list!

The Rules:
1. You must link the blogger who nominated you
2. You must answer the 10 questions given to you by your nominee
3. You must choose 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award (under 200 followers)
4. You must come up with 10 questions for your nominees to answer
5. Once you have done this, you must go to their blogs & let them know you have nominated them

My answers to Jen's questions:
1. What is your dream vacation?
My dream vacation is to go to NYC and walk through central park and manhattan. Or San Francisco. I'm more of a city sightseeing person than a tropical beach person.

2. Are you a cat person or a dog person?
Can I be both? I don't consider myself as a huge animal lover, but I do melt when I see cats and dogs walking by. Especially the little furry ones. We have one cat named Kitty and a dog Shizy (sisi) the billionaire. The cat was actually a stray. He kept coming to our house and eventually we took him in, so the name was actually not intentional. We didn't choose the name for the dog as well, we were on a holiday in Indonesia and my mom couldn't leave this dog at the pet shop, so after a lot of tests and filling in papers Sisi was brought to the Netherlands.

3. Why did you start your blog?
When I was little I always liked to design websites at those free websitemakers for fun. It used to be dedicated to my favorite celebrities and later on it went to my favorite tv shows (korean dramas), kpop and everything korean, even their fashion. Currently I'm less obsessed with those things but gotten lot more focused on fashion and all things pretty, I guess I want to show the world  So I started this for fun actually :)

4. Where do you get fashion/beauty inspiration?
I mostly get inspiration from other bloggers and YouTubers. An easy way to get inspiration is Tumblr as well for more artsy stuff. Current favorite inspirations (just a few) are Jules from Sincerely Jules, Claire from HeyClaire, Aimee from Song of style, Stephanie & Melissa from The Fashion Citizen and Jen from Clothes Encounters.

5. What is one trend you hope never goes out of style?
Most definitely skinny jeans, another more trendy trend I wish never to go out of style is the high waist!

6. What is your go-to summer nail polish?
This summer I like to wear a white/pinkish color from The Face Shop.

7. What is your favorite splurge item (fashion or makeup)?

I currently don't have a favorite splurge item.. But if I have to choose than I'd choose my Arbor Skateboard.

8. Shoes or handbags?

I guess I have to choose shoes!

9. Who is your blogging inspiration?
My blogging inspirations are actually the same as my fashion/beauty inspirations..

10. Are you a tea or coffee drinker?
A chai tea latte doesn't count as a tea right? :P Then I'd have to choose for coffee, allthough I like to drink mint tea occasionally as well.

Asos red dress, H&M ankle boots, DIY studded belt

Feel like wearing dresses lately and this fresh pop of colored dress is my latest conquest. I don't know if I love it though, because the dress is shapeless and has a lot of fabric so I had to wear it with a belt which wasn't my intention to do when I bought it online. Oh well at least it has an eyecatching color!

OOTD | There's no failure except in no longer trying.

Tally crop shirt, H&M highwaist denim short, Vans shoes

The weather has been insane for the last few days. A heat wave was or still is occuring in the Netherlands. Fortunately I live close by the beach and am able to bike there. I done that five times in four days time and I'm pretty done with that now, so I'll be chilling with my dog and cruiser the last remaining days of the hot weather. Since it's summer break and all, I don't want to remind you of school/uni but I am so stressed out of it.. still. I just found out that I failed another exam by 0.3 points and that just sucks because it means that I have to study for my re-exam on the 14th of August. And that's not all that I'm worried about.. Next college year I'll have to redo 3 exams of this year, because I once again failed. It's just so frustrating that I'm so bad at taking tests and so easily distracted. I just had to get this out of my system and keep reminding myself that it could be worse but right now it's so damn hard.

PERSONAL | Let's go to the beach!

Yesterday I went biking to the beach Scheveningen. It is a few kilometres away from my house and since the weather was so nice and I needed to work on my tan, my friend and I decided to do the journey. We took our cameras with us and I decided to film a little bit. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to edit it and show it to you guys since my filming was really crappy (I couldn't see a thing on my camerascreen because of the sun glare) but I was curious of how a concept I had in my head would look like.. So I made the very first I ate noodles for breakfast video! I don't really think you could categorize this as a 'vlog' but oh well. When I get better at not being so awkward in videos I'll post some more! The youtube account is: I ate noodles for breakfast. It still is under heavy maintenance the Youtube channel but I promise you that it will be awesome :)
I hope you like the little video I made! Tomorrow I'm planning to bike to Scheveningen again but with a different friend, so expect more beachy pictures soon!
