Happy B-Day to me!

Yesterday, it was my fifteenth birthday! I made some raspberry cake and me and my friends hung out at my house.

I got some really amazing presents, especially the one from my parents:

These amazing studded boots from Topshop! I wore them to school today, and the ten inches were a bit like torture for a girl who normally walks on all stars... But they're soooo pretty!!
From my friends, I got many gift cards, New Moon, and leggings in rainbow colours; I always have many holes in my leggings, which irritates my friends. They've been saying for a year that they'll give me proper leggings for my birthday.
In the evening I had dinner with my parents and my brother at a Chinese restaurant. The food was just delicious. It was a wonderful day to celebrate me being finally fifteen!

I'd like to end this post with some amazing party pics from the Juicy Couture ads.

Especially this "Make A Mess" one looks like a true celebration to me!

Goddess Juno

I think Juno Temple is a great actress. You may have seen this Brit girl in several movies where she plays supporting roles; like Drippy in Wildchild, Jane Parker in The Other Boleyn Girl, in The Atonement and Notes On A Scandal. This year, she plays in the comedy Year One, alongside Jack Black and Michael Cera.

I think her hair is so cool. It's just so wild and crazy!

I think we're going to hear a lot from her. In 2009, she'll appear in at least six movies!

There's this new band I found, called Au Revoir Simone, and you should really watch their music videos on youtube. They're very talented and the videos are all mysterious, creative and dreamy, just like their music.

They do remind me a bit of girl band The Like, except for the fact that their music couldn't be more different.

Let the street be your canvas

To me, graffiti is real art. I've always liked the idea of putting the message of art and creativity into the world via pimping walls, flats, streets and old buildings. Here are some pictures of graffiti that I think are really inspiring:

Yesterday, friend M. and I had a lot of fun with graffiti. That week, we had bought three colours: black, pink and white. We pimped an old closet, but all the paint started dripping! In the end, we thought it was actually pretty cool. But let me tell you this: it's a lot harder to spray paint into something than it seems!

M. made the bunny, I made the letters, the heart and the butterfly.

Our initials and a heart.

My initials.

M.'s initials.

Back-to-school stuff

Last week I didn't have to work at school, but this week the new school year has really begun. My back-to-school wardrobe looked a bit different than the other people on my school; today I wore a vintage dress that I customized yesterday. It's a dress with lovely blue and purple flowers on it. It was a bit too long for my taste, so I made it shorter and into a balloon skirt. I like balloon skirts, and it's not very hard to make; I'll just put some elastics in the seam.

Dress: vintage, ribbon: Vila, tights: V&D, shoes: Converse, blazer: vintage.

I bought the sheer black tights a couple of days ago, because I saw them everywhere, like on the new Kate Moss heart Topshop collection.
