Monthly Questions: March

Heyy, today I finally have the monthly questions of March, although it's already April 11th. Here it is:

1. Nicest thing that happened
School camp to Berlin. I have already posted a review of that. This is the link: http://fashionistar17.blogspot.nl/2014/03/my-schoolcamp-reviewvlog.html

2. Something you’re proud of
I’ve lost 2 kilos (= 4.4 pounds) in 4 weeks. I was so proud of myself. Since Augustus 2013 I’ve been trying to lose weight through a program with a sport group and help from a nutritionist. From Augustus to December I’ve lost 2 kilos, but then in January and February I’ve gained 2 kilos, so I was so glad that I lost them again in such a short time.

3. One crazy fact about you
I’m good at “copying” things. When I sing (I don’t sing very well, but still) I copy the way the person sings (like the pitch, accents, intonations, and more). When I draw someone from a photo, I “copy” the photo with my pencil. Typography and cartoon drawing is also sort of copying for me. Studying for a test is copying the things in my head. Unconsciously I have copied behavior, like how to react when someone is hurt or sad, because I didn’t use to know how to react to situations like that.

4. Biggest obsession of the month
My test week :( It isn’t a nice obsession, but this whole month has been about the test week, even sometimes when we were at school camp. I’ve offered to help someone with Physics on camp. The week between camp and testweek was a huge stress week for me, because I was running behind on almost every subject. I hade to take medicines to deal with the stress, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to write a single answer, even if I did know it. But those medicines did help, because my grades are a 6.8 for Dutch, 8,2 for Sociology, 8.5 and 8.6 for English, 8.9 for Economics, 9.1 for Biology, 9.3 for Physics, 9.5 for Chemistry and a 9.6 for Mathematics.

5. Movies you saw
This month I have watched ‘Frozen’ and ‘The Mortal Instruments’. I didn’t had much time to watch movies or do anything fun actually, because of school. I really loved Frozen, it’s such a cute sweet movie. I watched The Mortal Instruments with my sister, because we made a deal. I would watch Frozen and The Mortal Instruments if she agreed to watch Catching Fire and Divergent (when it is on DVD or when I have downloaded it). I think it was a good deal because I already planned on watching Frozen myself and friends of me are fans of TMI, so I could finally talk with them about it. TMI was a really cool movie, but it’s not that I’m in that fandom now.

6. Books you read
I’ve read 5 chapters of Allegiant and a few chapters of the CSI book I was reading… It’s not much, but I had school camp and test week. I did get a lot of new books. I got two more CSI books and a few days I got two Criminal Minds books, so I’m looking forward to read them (since Criminal Minds is my favorite TV show all time).

7. Drawings you made
I finished my Ruud Feltkamp drawing from previous month, I drew a few things when I was bored at school camp and I made a drawing when I was finished with my English test, but that was it for this month. I hope that next month I can draw a lot, because I had planned to make a few Catching Fire drawings, a Korean singer for a friend, Jamie Campbell Bower for another friend, and some other pictures, so I really want to draw them. In Berlin I did make a “streetart” thing, with paint, and at school with CKV I also made two things with paint.

Drawing for CKV artworks. The words/sentences are Dutch and English bad words. The project had to be about a social/world issue, so I choose bullying.

8. Favorite music
My favorite music is still the rock albums from previous month. My camp music list (for the 10 hour bus drive) contained those albums, Big Time rush’ album 24Seven, a few Taylor Swift songs, and a lot of pop songs which I skipped when listening.

9. Played any games?
On the bus drive to Berlin, we played Mario card on the Nintendo, which was kind of funny because I hadn’t used my Nintendo in a while. But other than that I didn’t play any games.

10. Fashion you bought
I bought new shoes before camp, and some jewelry in the Claire’s in Berlin, but that’s it.

11. Other stuff you bought
Two new phone cases. In the H&M in Berlin I saw a few phone cases and I still needed one for my iPhone. So I bought a neon pink rubber studded case and a green owl case.

12. Something new you learned
Stress isn’t good for your immune system. Every testweek this school year was very stressful, and every testweek I was sort of sick…

This was it for the monthly questions of March. I will try to post more things this month, which will work, because my birthday is in 6 days and it is almost vacation.

I hope you like it :D

holiday planning: TAG wednesday 2

heyy, today is TAG wednesday, so I have a TAG for you. It's a fashion TAG I made. Here it is, with pictures.

• Favorite piece of clothes
A dress. I don’t wear it very often, but I like dresses a lot. You have so many types and there are dresses for every body type, so every girl can wear it.


• Favorite color to wear
Neon pink and black. I totally love neon pink. I have very much neon pink items, like jeans, a pair of shorts, a tank top, socks, a bag, a dress. I like to wear them, and I even wear them at school. But I don’t wear them over the top, I combine with black or white, or with other neutral colors. I also like black, because it makes you look smaller and it matches with everything.


• Favorite brand
I don’t have a favorite brand, but I do have stores I like. I love shopping at the Primark, the H&M, or online. I also like the ‘coolcat’ and ‘the sting’, but I don’t shop there very much.

• Favorite designer
I don’t think I even have designer clothes, so I can’t choose from my own clothing. I am not the kind of girl who likes one designer or brand, I like to combine outfits with multiple brands.

• Favorite make-up item
My eye pencil definitely. If I wear make-up at school, I wear that, mascara, foundation and lip gloss. But I don’t like mascara because at school when I’m bored, I sometimes rub my eyes and with mascara, I can’t. Lip gloss doesn’t stay the whole day, and when it is very warm outside, foundation mixes with sweat. But my eye pencil stays on the whole day.


• Favorite type of jewelry
A necklace, because that doesn’t irritate me and is visible. A bracelet irritates me, because it moves around my wrist, earrings are invisible because my hair hides them, I am not used to wearing a ring, so the feeling of something around my finger feels weird. Necklaces mostly don’t irritate me, unless they are too long. I look very critical here…


• Favorite type of accessories
Although I don’t wear them, I love using hats and beanies in my outfits on polyvore. They make outfits more complete. And I also like fake nerd glasses...



• Favorite kind of shoes
I like sneakers for the winter, flip flops for the summer, and my heels for parties. I wear flip flops all summer, and sneakers all winter. I used to wear uggs in the winter, but last year, my sneakers matched my outfits better. Then it got warmer, so I went to flip flops. But when I have a party, I prefer my heels, depending on my outfit. When I wear my Primark dresses, I have to combine them with tights and my heels. I can’t combine anything else with the dress.


• Piece of clothes you love but everyone hates
A tie. It sounds weird, but I totally love ties, also for girls. It probably has something to do with the fact that Spencer Reid always wears a tie. One time, we had debate day. I had an appointment with the dentist and since I have to do it again next year, I didn’t had to participate. We all had to dress properly, so I wore a white blouse, black trousers, my heels, my grey tie and a black blazer. It was funny to wear, but I was the only girl wearing a tie.


• Piece of clothes you hate but everyone loves
Oversized shirts. They look good on everyone, except me. It makes me look fat.

• Clothes you used to like, but not anymore
Jeans which have the length between long jeans and shorts. I don’t know how there are called, because you have them in different lengths, but my jeans need to be long, or very short. I used to like jeans that came to your knees, but now I hate them.

• Clothes you used to hate, but not anymore
Jeans and blouses. When I was in elementary school, I used to wear sweatpants to school. I didn’t like the feeling of jeans, because they are tight. But when I went to 7th grade I started wearing jeans. In 10th grade, I also started to wear blouses. Now I don’t wear them, but that has to do with the weather. In the Netherlands, we aren’t used to warm weathers. Our summers are not very hot, usual 20C with rain. This year, we have a different kind of weather. 25 to 35C with very much sun and no rain. Friday it will be 35C, but it can feel like 39. And that’s too warm for people who are used to 20C.

• Your style
My style depends on the weather, my mood and what I’m planning to do. Like I said in my post ‘how to find your style?’. Most of the time, my style is romantic, cute, trendy, or relaxed.

• A style you hate
Gothic. It’s not that I ‘hate’ it, but I don’t like it for myself. I think it’s so much black, and they wear very much black eyeshadow, which looks weird on me. When I use eyeshadow, I use black, but I make smoky eyes with more grey than black.

• If you could wear one outfit for the rest of your life, how would it look
I think my neon pink jeans, a black shirt with my umbrella blouse over it. Long socks, my grey sneakers. This outfit makes me look smaller, and I like it very much. I wore this at my birthday, but then I wore it with heels.


• What outfit do you want people to remember you
That depends on the person. I want my family to remember me in my dress with heels, but I want my friends to remember me in a jeans and a shirt, because that’s how they see me the most.

• What outfit do people remember you
My classmates remember me with a red t-shirt with an owl print. In 8th grade, it was my favorite shirt. I wore it at least once a week. With art, we had to make a painting with an animal, so I decided to chose the owl from my shirt. It’s not a realistic owl, but a geometric owl. I can’t wear it anymore, because it is too small.



• Celeb inspiration
I don’t inspire my outfits on celebrities, but I do think that the girls from pretty little liars have awesome clothes in the series. I was searching for pictures to draw, and I found them. They wear super cool dresses and outfits.


If you do this TAG, please comment the link of the video or blogpost, so I can see your answers.

I hope you like it.
