Wishlist

Hi everyone!

Since I'm going to London I thought it might be time to make a wishlist of things I want to buy before I go to London and when I'm in London. What I love about London is that there is a topshop store, which we don't have here in the Netherlands. :( And I still need some stuff from Zara, 'cause I have this beautiful brown leather short for the winter, but I don't have the right tights and jumper yet. And I saw this beautiful knitwear jumper at Zara.

So, here's my wishlist:

Some catching up

Well, since I haven't posted a while, we have to do some catching up so you know what I'm talking about.

Last schoolyear didn't go so well, because I was to busy with doing things that had nothing to do with school. On monday I had piano lessons, tuesday I had to work, wednesday I had sewing class, thursday I was working too, on friday I had dancing class (ballroom and latin) and in the weekend I was really busy with my 'Hofplein theatre' which is acting, singing and dancing. We were preparing a musical, and we were busy practising all saturday and sunday. Later in my schoolyear I stopped working at thursday and around january Hofplein was done, we had performed our musical called 'the Winterqueen' (de winterkoningin for the dutch people). It was really awesome, but I had already screwed up my schoolwork and I was getting behind. I was still really busy with my other hobbies and was always tired when I got home from school, so studying wasn't really my first priority. I didn't manage to get my grades up, so now I have to do the year over. It's not really bad, there are a lot of nice people in my new class and I have some classes with Romy!

I also went on vacation to Italy this summer, to an island called 'Elba.' For the history people, Napoleon Bonaparte was captured there for some time untill he escaped. I went to Elba with Tim and his parents and sister, it was really nice. We played pool almost every day, and I still suck at it. But it was fun anyways.

And then the best news I can give you guys, and I am so excited about it! Romy and I want to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London, and we had planned to go to an open day this schoolyear. But we have found something better! A LOT BETTER. We are going to do a short course fashion design for a week! How cool is that? We leave december 12th and get back december 19th. We have classes from monday 13th to friday 17th, and we go shopping on saturday! Oh how I love shopping. But I am giving up spending money for like, 2 months! Just so I can save money for London. I have some buys which I have already planned and I can still make, and I have to buy my own food every wednesday but I'm saving up a lot of money. I have got €150,00 so far. Because I have to buy my own food in London too. But my parents are paying the hostel and the course and the train (yes, we travel by train) so it's okay. :)

I am so happy!

I promise to update my blog soon!

Love,
Lisanne

PS. As you can see, I have a new header, the shoes you see are the shoes I have bought a few weeks ago, I love them so much!

Art class project

June 12th

Hi everyone,

Well, this is the last week of my art class project, 'portret of a friend.' Romy and I went to an old trainstation, in Essen-Belgium. I went there once with my father for a photoshoot, he had a project about drama from his photo-course. It's such a beautiful place to make photo's, a lot of photographers go there. When we were there, there were a bride and groom with a photographer shooting pictures so that was cool to see.

This week I wanted to do something special because it was the last chance of making photo's. After this week I have to have my final piece, which can be one photo but can also be a whole book of photo's, par example.



The dress Romy is wearing is one of the dresses from her art class project, which I have worn at her photoshoot. I was an owl in her 'Parade in the night.'

In my next post I'll show you my final piece.

Love,
Lisanne

Art class project

June 10th

Hi,

This week I dicided to go to a place with graffity, I came up with a place near my house.



I really liked this place, but it was under a viaduct and suddenly there were two boys on a scooter who stopped in the bend of the road, very close to the viaduct. We could here them talking on the phone and they said something about 'yeah we're at the viaduct, where those two girls are.' In their sort of gangster accent. We kind of freaked out and got on our bicycles when a girl and a guy drove by on there bicycles, we stayed really close to them 'cause we were a little scared of the boys. When we got passed them I called Tim who lives nearby the place to ask if we could continue making photo's at his house. We thought it would be nice to make photo's with his dogs, which are really big. That didn't worked out because the dog wouldn't stand still, but I'll show you a picture anyways. :)



Cute huh? But as you can see, didn't worked out.

So we went on with our searching for a nice place to make photo's and Tim got an idea. He has sort of his own motorcycle, which he cannot drive yet because he had no licence for it. Well, you get the idea, here is a photo:



It was a little dark but I like the photo anyways.

Art class project

June 2nd

Hi,

So my teacher gave me an assignment for this week, she wanted to see pictures of romy in a street environment. I wanted to photograph her with graffity, but we hadn't got the time for a long photoshoot so we went to an alley near Romy's house. There we found whis cute door and we found our place. Here are some pictures in the alley:



I love the first picture, I think the light is really great.

Hi hi,

Okay, so this week Romy and I went to the forest, but while we were riding our bikes, we saw this cute fence and we stopped to make pictures.



I like this picture but there is to much light from the sun.

So we went to the forest and made some nice photo's, but there was still to much light from the sun as you can see.




It wasn't a great photoshoot but I like the location. The earrings Romy is wearing she also made herself, for her art class project.

Love,
Lisanne
