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!

Final piece

June 17th

Hi!

So this day I finished my project, I have chosen 5 photo's for my final piece and I'm going to show them in the following order:


So that's it. I was so nervous for my presentation but she told me that she loved my photo's and I would get a high mark. You want to know what I got? An 8.3! I'm still so happy :)

Love,
Lisanne

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.

Love,

May 23rd

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.

Lisanne

Art class project

Hi again,

The assignment I got last week was to go back to some places I had already been. So I decided to go back to the tree first.

I actually only like one picture of this week, but you cannot see we're at the tree. But here it is:



The body chain she's wearing is selfmade by Romy.

Oh yeah, remember that this week is not really this week, the photo's are from may 19th. The photo's from 'last week' were from april 14th, 'cause I had a testweek at school (which didn't go that well.) They're so old because I forgot to post 'm back then, but I still want to share them with you guys. So 'next week' is not really 'next week.' I'll put dates above every post to make it clear :)

Love,
Lisanne

PS. Romy also made some photo's of me in my selfmade LBD.



Don't really like 'm but anyways.
The body chain is made by Romy.

Art class project

Hi everyone,

So, as allways, I'm not that good at posting every week, I'm really sorry. I was so busy with school and all my hobbies outside school and I keep forgetting my blog! Just as I keep forgetting to check my e-mail. So I'll tell you what you have missed but I'll update my artclass project photo's first. :) (which has already finished)

So, the last photo's I have posted were the windmill photo's. The week after that I wasn't really inspired but I love to photograph outside because of the light I guess. Somewhere near my house there is a path with trees which I really love. Romy and I went there and this is the result:



As you can see these are not my best photo's ever. They are not bad, but the sun was to bright so there's to much light in the pictures. On these photo's, Romy is wearing her selfmade dress which I think is really great. I also love her shoes by the way.

Love,
Lisanne

Every Dutch girl climbs windmills, right?

Hi guys!

Yesterday I promised to post more photo's, so here they are. I went shopping with my friend Monique and bought some new clothes:
- Blue shorts, the Garden Collection - H&M
- White top with flowers, the Garden Collection - H&M
- Red and white striped top - H&M
- Grey/purple skirt - H&M

Of course I had to make pictures, so I climbed a windmill. I had to do a photoshoot with Romy anyways.
On this picture I'm wearing my grey/purple skirt as you can see. I love the blue sky btw! It was really a beautiful day.

On the picture below you can see the red/white striped top and the blue shorts.


I don't really have a great picture of the other top I've bought, but here's one anyways.



I've also bought new shoes, I found pictures on the internet so that's easy. Here they are:




























I bought these shoes in Utrecht, when I was there I also bought 2 fabrics. I'm going to make a one-shoulder dress and a new skirt, but I'm making a jumpsuit right now. That reminds me, I still didn't post pictures of my self made LBD and skirt. :O I do have photo's of my LBD but they suck, so I'll make new one's soon.

So, that was it for the day. Talk to you soon!

Love, Lisanne.

Art class project

So, I told you about my art class project, I have to make pictures of a friend. The assignment is called 'Portret of a Friend.' And since I promissed to post the pictures I made, I'm going to do that right now. Isn't that great? ;)

I'll do it in one post, 'cause we've passed week 6 already.

Week 1 is not really spectacular, but I'll show you anyways.

So I like this picture, but the rest of the shoot wasn't really that much. I made pictures of 2 other friends too, but I chose to continue with Romy so I only show you her pictures. This week was more like a test-week.

Week 2


In week 2 I continued making pictures of Romy. We did this shoot at her house and I experimented with light and backgrounds. I like the first picture most, I love the contrast of the light and shadow on her face.

Week 3


This week I photographed on the rooftop of our school. It wasn't really my idea, it was the idea of a teacher who saw us photographing. So he took us to the roof of our schoolbuilding. It was a really nice shoot, the wind was great. I love the first photo, it's just a perfect shot. I love the blazer that she's wearing btw.

Week 4



This week I had to experiment with light, so I photographed in de sun, with the flashlight on my camera and under a streetlamp. These are some of the pictures I like the most. I like to work with sunlight or spots, but I really hate the flashlight. So I didn't post the pictures with flashlight, they were kind of lame.

Week 5


In week 5 we climbed a tree, this was Romy's idea. She showed me the tree and I loved it right away, so we started our shoot. I was quite funny to see people looking at the tree and not understanding why there were legs hanging out of it. It was a really fun shoot to do, and I have to do it again, my teacher said that she wanted to see more pictures in the tree. I still have to do that shoot, because we did another shoot first.

Week 6


Well, as you see, we discovered a new hobby: climbing things. This week we climbed a windmill, first only the stairs, but after a while, Romy wanted to climb the wings of the windmill. Romy wanted to have a shoot with windmills after she looked at an apisode of ANTM, and I really like the result. I climbed the windmill and the tree too, but I'll post those pictures later. I really have to do my homework right now!

Love, Lisanne.

New clothes

Hi again,

So, I went shopping with Romy on saturday in a city near ours, Breda. It's allways nice to go shopping there, 'cause there are a lot more stores then in Roosendaal.

It was quite an adventure actually, but I'll start were we started.

We went with the bus 'cause it's way cheaper then traveling with the train, but it's slow traveling, so we arrived in an hour, I think it was 9.45 am, so shops like Zara hadn't opened yet. Nothing interesting happened actually. I bought a new dress at H&M and a matching hairband. I also bought tights, they're blue with dots and blue with stripes and I really love 'm! I'll post a picture of them later, because I haven't had time to make it yet. I do have a picture of my new dress and hairband, which you can see on the left. It's not really a pretty picture, but you can see my dress and that's what it's all about. ;)

So, let's continue with the adventure-part. I was in the free-record shop to buy a dvd. After that we went to Ici Paris and Douglas, and when I got at Douglas I saw the parfume I wanted since forever (DKNY - Be Dilicious) and it was on sale! It also included a bodylotion in the same scent so I was like 'I HAVE to buy it right now!' So then I wanted to grab my wallet out of my purse, and it wasn't there anymore :| I kind of freaked out while still standing in the store in front of the lady who was helping me. Well, I had checked all of my bags but it really wasn't there, and so I called my mom and she called the bank to block my card. So that looked like the end of our shopping day (it was 16.00 pm anyways) so we went to the busstop to wait for our bus. and 2 minutes before it arrived, the police of Breda called me on my cell to tell me my wallet was waiting for me at the police-office. Then we walked to the police-office and got my wallet and luckily everything was still in there. But now my card is still blocked and I'll get a new one at the end of the week, but it really sucks 'cause I can't buy anything right now. :( But I got some good news too, my dad is going to get me the parfume, because he works in Brada :) I'll have to pay for it myself but at least I got the parfume! I really love parfume btw, I decided to collect it. I already got some nice parfumes.

But, to bad, I have to stop now 'cause I'm kind of tired, I want to sleep! it's 22.45 pm over here and I still have to do some homework.

Love,
Lisanne

Who I am

Well, let's start with introducing myself. My name is Lisanne and I'm from Holland. I'm 17 years old. I have a lot of hobbies, like dancing, acting, playing the piano, sewing clothes, singing and of course shopping. I love shopping, especially with my friends Romy & Nicole. Romy also has a blog and it's really cool! You can check it out sometime. It's called my fashion fairytales. :)

I'm not quite sure what my blog is going to be about, but I guess it'll be about clothes and stuff. I'll keep you updated about what clothes I made myself and what I bought. I also like making pictures of friends, and since I have to make new pictures every week for an asignment at school, I'll post some pictures that I made too.

Why I called my blog the girl with the red shoes? I don't really know why, but I've always had red shoes. I had it since I was a little girl, and I still got red shoes. But this blog is not about my red shoes, that wouldn't be interesting at all. But if you want to know, I have beautiful red boots with heels. they're really pretty. I'll post a picture of them, but I don't have one yet so you'll just have to wait. I also have red all-stars, and even my sport shoes are red. I had red ballet pumps too, but let's just say they died a few years ago. They were nice, though.

Well it's time to go, I have a lot of homework to do actually!

Love,
Lisanne
