holiday planning: how to tuesday 3
heyy, yesterday was tuesday, but I didn't have time to post it so I'll post it now. I love writing stories, so I thought I could give you some tips to start writing a story yourself. Here it is:
1. Choose your genre, subjects and style
2. Choose your characters
3. Choose your storyline
4. Begin to write
5. When you don’t have any inspiration
1. Try to find it
2. Wait a few hours
3. Wait a long time
6. Let others read it
1. Choose your genre, subjects and style
When you want to write a story, you have to choose where it is about. You can write a romantic story, a thriller, a comedy, a fanfiction, a fantasy story, there are many genres to choose. You can also combine the genres: a romantic fanfiction, a fantasy thriller…
You also have to choose subjects. I think the most common subject in stories is love, but there are other popular subjects: war, family, crime, magic, monsters…
Try to choose a few, so that your story has some content. Also try to find a writing style you like. Your style makes your story unique. A writing style depends on the choice of words, use of metaphors, figures of speech and dialogues. You can also add your style by the choice of point of view. You can write from the I-perspective (as if you are the main character), the he/she-perspective (describing someone else’s live) or from the all-known person (like you see a movie and comment what you see). Most of the time, I use the I-perspective, but I use multiple points of view (one chapter from person 1, the next chapter from person 2…).
The last thing you have to choose before you can start is how you are going to begin your story. At school I learned the Latin terms for them, so I’ll use them with explanation. You have ab ovo (from the beginning of the story, chronological written), in medias res (from the middle of the story, later a rewind to the beginning and then the whole story) or post rem (written after the whole story happened). This is your base for writing a story.
2. Choose your characters
If you are writing a fanfiction, (most of) the characters already exist. You know how they act, so you can apply that to your story. If you are writing another kind of story, you have to make the characters yourself. You don’t have to write a complete biography about each, but it could be useful to form them a little. Describe their looks, age and behavior in a document, and when you write something new about them, add it in the document.
You have different kinds of characters: round characters, flat characters and types. Round characters develop through the story and you get to know (almost) everything about them. Flat characters do not develop through the story and you get to know some things about them. Types do not develop through the story and you barely get to know them. Most of the time, types are minor characters. Your main characters are round, the others are flat or types.
3. Choose your storyline
When I write a story, I first write a short summary of all the important things that I want to happen. I think this is useful, because if you don’t have any inspiration, you can look through your summary to get ideas. Also if you decide to stop writing a specific time, you can look where to continue when you start writing again. I like to write every idea, because I’m afraid I will forget them. I sometimes change my storyline, because when you are writing, you get new ideas.
A story must have some things in it.
First, you must have a good beginning. If the first chapter is boring, people stop reading, because they think the rest will be the same.
Second, you must have some exciting things in your story, a shock, something unexpected. You can build it up, slowly prepare them for the shock, or you can write it at an unexpected thing, so it will be a real shock. When you have written a storyline, you can start writing your story.
4. Begin to write
Write your first chapter, than write your second…
Try to write every day at the same time. I write almost every night at 11:00PM till midnight, unless I’m tired. Some people like to write in the morning, some at noon, some at night. Later at the day, I get more creative. I get most of my ideas when I want to sleep, so it takes some time to fall asleep for me.
5. When you don’t have any inspiration:
1. Try to find it
If you want to write, sometimes you can’t find inspiration. What you can do is try to find it. Search online for other stories, for pictures, songs, anything that can give you inspiration.
2. Wait a few hours
If you really can’t find any inspiration, take a break. Have a snack, go on a walk, do something else besides writing. When you think you’re ready, try writing again.
3. Wait a long time
Sometimes it helps to take a long break and just forget about it. A few days/weeks later, you read what you have written so far and you can continue better than before. I once waited two weeks, went on vacation, and when I got back, the chapter was finished with just one sentence.
6. Let others read it
I post my story on Wattpad, an international website where you can post and read stories. You can follow other people, so when they add a new chapter, you get a message. People can post comments on your stories, and likes. Some comments say they love it, some give tips, or ideas…
I sometimes ask a question at the end of my chapter, example: when I end my chapter with a cliffhanger (an open end), I ask: what do you think will happen? And sometimes people react. I like to get the opinions of my readers, because I write for other people, not for myself.

holiday planning: Monday style day 3
heyy, today is the third Monday, and today I will show you some floral fashion pieces. Since this spring, floral prints are very trendy. You see them mostly on jeans, but I will also show you some other interesting floral pieces.
Here is an example of an outfit with floral jeans.
You also have floral jumpsuits, which are very popular this year.
I like this kind of blouses. The shape makes you look skinnier.
Floral doesn't have to mean soft colors, as you can see in this dress.
I totally love bows, bows are so cute. And to combine them with floral print and a crop top, is a great idea.
This kind of skirts were cool in the '70, and now they're back.
Because it is summer, I had to post a picture of shorts.
This dress doesn't have the typical floral print, but the colors and the flowers give it a beautiful look.
I love this floral bandeau bikini.
To complete the floral style, the last photo I show is a headband.
I hope you like it.

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 20C with rain. This year, we have a different kind of weather. 25 to 35C with very much sun and no rain. Friday it will be 35C, but it can feel like 39. And that’s too warm for people who are used to 20C.
• 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.

holiday planning: how to tuesday 2
heyy, today is how to Tuesday, so I'm going to teach you something. This time, it's not something you can make, but it is fashionrelated. Some girls have trouble to define their style. And if you don't know what style you have, it can be hard you choose outfits. So today I'm going to teach you how to find your style in 5 steps with a lot of pictures :)
1. Find inspiration
2. Keep a style diary
3. Don’t put yourself in a box
4. Ask yourself questions
5. Stop criticizing yourself
1. Find inspiration
Inspiration is everywhere. On the streets, in magazines, online. Try to find your source of inspiration: a celebrity who always looks good. Your best friend, who looks like she shops everyday, but actually just knows how to combine clothes. The girl you saw at the train station. Everybody could be your source of inspiration. But… use it as a source, don’t copy it. Otherwise it isn’t your style, but hers.
(last year, I used to find inspiration for drawing fashion in japanese girls)
2. Keep a style diary
Take a picture of your outfit everyday. Put it in a folder on your computer or make a real photo book. At the end of the week, you decide which outfits you like and you put them in a different folder. After two or three months, you open the folder which the outfits you like. Those outfits probably describe your style. Also, you get to see how your style grows and develops. After a year, you probably see difference between the first and last picture.
3. Don’t put yourself in a box
Online you can find over a thousand of style quizzes, but they put you in a box. They only have simple answers like: romantic, relaxed, nerdy, gothic, classy, trendy…
But a style is a combination of things. Style depends on your mood, the weather and what your plans are for the day.
Example: it is winter, I have to go to school and I am tired. My style will be relaxed, romantic and simple.
But if only one thing changes, a whole other style can come out.
Example: it is winter, I have to go to school and I am happy. Now my style will be romantic, nerdy, and trendy.
Example: summer, no plans, lazy. My style will be trendy, relaxed and simple.
So, try to find the key words (more than two) to describe your looks.
different styles (all from this year):
4. Ask yourself questions
If you dress yourself, stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself. Is this you? Or do you see someone else in the mirror? Some outfits look really cool, they fit your body, but not your personality/style. So ask yourself if it reflects you. If it doesn’t, try to change it so it will. It is important to dress like yourself.
This outfit fits me, but is too simple for my personality.
This outfit fits my personality, but it doesn't really fit me. (P.S. the tips of my hair are pink)
This outfit fits me and my personality.
5. Stop criticizing yourself
This is probably the hardest one. A lot of girls/woman criticize their self. They aren’t happy with their body, or some parts of it. I also criticize myself, so it’s kind of weird to tell you to stop while I still do it myself. I’m trying to stop, but it lessens with small steps. Don’t be hard on yourself, because you’re perfect the way you are. If you disagree, try to change that.
I hope this was useful.

1. Find inspiration
Inspiration is everywhere. On the streets, in magazines, online. Try to find your source of inspiration: a celebrity who always looks good. Your best friend, who looks like she shops everyday, but actually just knows how to combine clothes. The girl you saw at the train station. Everybody could be your source of inspiration. But… use it as a source, don’t copy it. Otherwise it isn’t your style, but hers.
(last year, I used to find inspiration for drawing fashion in japanese girls)
2. Keep a style diary
Take a picture of your outfit everyday. Put it in a folder on your computer or make a real photo book. At the end of the week, you decide which outfits you like and you put them in a different folder. After two or three months, you open the folder which the outfits you like. Those outfits probably describe your style. Also, you get to see how your style grows and develops. After a year, you probably see difference between the first and last picture.
