Movies: The King's Speech

I saw The King's Speech last night. I had high hopes, because of the Oscars and the trailer I saw and then...

It was even better. I have always adored Colin Firth. His style just suits the movie so well. The acting in it is brilliant, by everyone, and the story about a King who's so insecure because of his stuttering problem is very touching. I loved everything about the movie, and the fact that's is not just a pure drama made it even better. I defenitely recommend this movie to anyone, it's worth your money!

Born this way!

It hasn't exactly been a secret to many that I LOVE Lady Gaga. I've been to her concerts, like to dress crazy too, and catchy poptunes are everything I need to get trough a rough day. So needless to say I went out of my mind when hearing Born this Way, her new single. I couldn't wait for the video to drop. And here it is then!



I'm not sure I'm feeling the alien-vibe, but overall I LOVE the video. I love the dancing (it's a little dorky, and lord knows we all like to dance that way), I love the looks, I love the scenes. I love the little homage to Michael Jackson and Madonna. Just watch it, you'll be shocked at least.

Things I love

I remember the first book I learned to read myself. It was a story about kittens doing naughty things (like knocking over a vase of flowers), and I was about three. Allright, so I didn't actually read it myself, but I knew it by heart, every sentence and every page. When I finally learned to read at the age of six, I was dying to get my hands on everything that had letters on it. I almost ate books for breakfast. And that hunger for reading never really stopped.

At school I follow a minor called 'Creative Writing', and though it focusses mainly on journalism, there was a small course on small stories. Stories that are only a few pages, and are usually plain bizarre. I adore that. I actually applaud bizarre, in many things in life. Since my teacher has the best story-reading-voice ever (so soft, I would hire her to read to my kids!!), she got me thinking about my youth, and fairytales.

I don't remember getting nighttime stories, really, but I'm pretty sure my parents used to read to me. Especially fairytales. Why else would they still have a spot in my heart?

That is why I just bought this book. The complete collection of fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. I knew I wanted to buy a big book of fairytales, I just didn't know by whom. It was either Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson. I chose Grimm, because of their bizareness. Their stories are a lot more violent, and honoustly, I'm pretty sure at least one person dies a violent death in at least 90% of the faitytales. I love that, I laugh at that, because it's such a contrast to what parents want to tell their children.

And the rolling heads are so normal too, they are a metaphor for the evil losing. I love the creativeness of the fairytales, and I'm pretty sure I will buy a collection by Hans Christian Anderson too, and ofcourse Roald Dahl.

This book contains 200 fairytales, and I bought it for €29,95 online (in Dutch).

XOXO

Ps. There are drawings in it too, and don't you just love the red side with golden letters? It looks sooo good on the shelves too.

Look of the day

It's been a while, and I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting, but I'm here now. Tu-du-du-du-du-du-du *Britney Spears - Break the ice*

I figured it'd be time for an outfit post, since I just bought this toocoolforschool jumpsuit at H&M!

I never thought it'd look good on me, but guess what, I went out of the comfort zone to try, and I love it! I have hardly taken it off since! (sad news for the boyfriend)

It makes me feel very Marlene Dietrich!

PS. Don't mind the ugly face in the first shot. It's a gift, lol.

Born this way!

Ahhhhhhhh, can I just say how mothereffin amazing Lady Gaga's new song is? It's NOTHING like I had expected. I expected this ballad about how it's so important to love yourself and be gay in a proud way, semi-dramatic, but it's sooooo much better!

It's an upbeat, celebrate life song! It defenitely is my new anthem (sorry Britney..). Listen to it, by clicking on the link below!
