You would think that being in the Netherlands would spare me the burning heat I had to bare in Spain. HOW ABOUT NO. The world turned into an oven and I am loving it. Besides the fact that everything I wear is just melting off, I have nothing to complain about. I absolutely loathe cold weather and don't even get me started about the flu that comes with it. </div>

For today's outfit I thought I shouldn't put too much on: this gray sheer shirt is just life. And these Nike sneakers make me feel like I'm walking barefoot: PERF. </div>

Although I love this top, I just can't seem to get it right on me. It has this weird flappy thingy on boob-level and I just ugh. So I ended up knotting it on the side. Also, I couldn't deal with the - however gorgeous - braid I started out with. Bun that ish up !</div>

Since we're totally besties, I feel it is appropriate to tell you my feelings and occasionally blurt out the f-word. As much as I have tried, I can not stay away from your show. I don't want to watch it, because that shit makes me depressed and amazed at the same time and by brain just can't process all those feelings at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ever since I went to university I feel like I gave up on my dream to become a stylist one day. Like the step to academic knowledge had to override creativity and all the fun stuff that my awesome internship promised. But I miss it. I miss the rush of excitement when I am on a set, the endless opportunity I felt when preparing a shoot, the crazy schedules I barely survived and the amazing, talented people I had the honor to work with. I miss it like crazy and I feel like nothing can give me that feeling of contentment like styling and assisting did. </div>

Obviously I won't let anything kill my vibe, and as you suggested I just keep on producing and producing everything until I get it right. Ever since Reckless I feel the dramatic urge to style so bad that my fingers tingle and my heart just beats out of control until I put some ish together. So that's the plan. Work until you're amazing.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I look at my stats and I can't believe that people actually still visit my blog. whoever those people are, HIGH FIVE YO !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since the 12th of February quite some things happened, and I guess I just needed time to deal with everything. I got tired of the whole circus of fashion and blogging and promoting and spam. So I took a break. Mostly spent my time looking at ceilings and reading books, but mostly I was preoccupied with not wearing makeup. Originally I just thought of quitting the whole blog thing, but dude 2 years is a lot of investment. So I decided not to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The problem is, I felt like my blog didn't "fit" me anymore. I was tired of writing about brands and taking outfit posts and I just wanted to be in the studio and work on projects I wasn't going to publish. I am nothing like the 16 year old girl who started this blog three years ago. A<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">ll I knew is that I liked clothes and I liked writing. That's it. And honestly, at that age your body is effortlessly smokin' and you love yourself a little too much than you are willing to admit (Example A, look at all those little exhibitionist little teenagers on ANY social network). But then you grow up and you learn that there is more to fashion than just a pretty dress. And that between heaven and earth there is more than just fashion. In those two, now almost three years later, I have been forced to think and look at myself in the mirror, with all the embarrassing memories that pop up with it. I guess the biggest lesson in these years was that I need to be my own person. Too many times have I looked up too people or tried to be something else than myself, while, let's be honest here, I am kind of an awesome person. I guess fashion was disgusting to me for a while because it felt like I was "following" someone else, instead of making my own path. But dude, I am 19 now. It's fucking weird and I feel old. I even believe my boobs are sagging a bit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have seen the beauty and the beast when it comes to blogging, from self-absorbed little ho's to conscious, honest writers who just want to talk about life. But most importantly, I discovered the people that are in between those things. I talked to a lot of people, asking for advice. And the wisest think alike, for their plea was the same: blog your life for you, not for others. And I guess that's what was wrong. I blogged for others, wrote what I thought my readers would like and soon it felt like my blog existed outside of me and every day more it felt like a chore.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But, I'm over that now. Sometimes I will have something to write. Sometimes I won't. But I will bore you with it nonetheless</b>. I made this blog for me, to start with. And when it was all about discovering the fashion world it was all fun and exiting and new, and I loved it ! So that's it. This blog is mine, and I will post whatever the hell I want. And if you don't like that, drag your sweet ass to that red X up top because I am ready to rumble honey boo boo!</span></div>

Sometimes I swear to myself that I will calm down and will start relaxing more. But then the urge to do some work just gets to overwhelming and I end up diving in a billion plus five projects and then oh well. I give up. Last week <b>Luca </b>had the patience to sit through one of my shoots, which I shot in our uni's studios. Maria Valls and I had a blast trying to figure out the lights, stared shamelessly while Luca was doing her thing and made absolute idiots out of ourselves. Quite a normal day.</div>

Honestly, being in a studio is something I could do all day long and not even realizing it...I really try working on my photography, simply because it's something I love doing so much. I'm not that good when it comes to digital photography, let alone studio photography, but practice makes perfect is what they say right? So yeah. Working on that. Messed around with backgrounds, editing and more of that stuff. Figured out the lightmeter as well, I think I deserve a pat on the back for that one. Have a ton of other pictures, but that is for another post... </div>

This weekend I'll be in Madrid, where I may or may not have the chance to finally do anything else besides shopping and obsessing over the amount of vintage fab available. A battle that I already know I'm going to lose. </div>

For the pre-fall collections, creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Picciolli took a purified look on their Valentina of the fall. Imposing pure lines and unfussed elegance, they provided a line of strong pieces, overwhelming by their (lack of) color, invoking a sense of unprecedented luxury. </div>

Strong, yet feminine pieces marked this collection, together with large coats and patent leather. Remarkably, all silhouettes seemed to be in one colour, ranging from the deepest black to the all-white pieces and rich reds. I personally find the complex simplicity quite refreshing. It demonstrates an elegant effortless-chique, while still making a silent statement of gorgeous proportions. </div>

Undisputed favorites were these two dresses. While they look quite similar at first sight, upon a closer look the details uncover a whole other meaning to the two pieces. While the red dress uncovers an intense passionate appearance, to be worn with either cute flats or sexy stiletto's, the mysteriousness of the black dress calls for combat boots and a massive attitude.Jaspe H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12334534876030512803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111458706999688268.post-90857599063222691172012-12-28T15:08:00.002+01:002013-03-26T04:01:30.121+01:005 Epic Fashion ShortfilmsThis is relevant because I study Communication and I have a flair for the dramatic. And because I'm mad that the Gossip Girl ending sucks.<br />
<br />
1. Roberto Cavalli - Perfume, the film<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ajhW-51Gbs0" width="853"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
The tiger allegory, the mystery, the plain epicness and did I mention tiger presence? I think I have a major Cavalli-crush since their <i><a href="http://caramelboots.blogspot.nl/2012/06/lookbook-just-cavalli-resort-2013.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">resort 2013</a> </i>collection... Possibly falling in love, too.<br />

2. Dior - J'adore<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mXrWiJcmvBI" width="853"></iframe><br />
<br />
Her attitude, the mix of the classic icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, and how they captured that fashionshow-atmosphere that I love so much make this one of my favorite ads out there. Awesomesauce.<br />
<br />
3. Cartier - "L'Odyssée"<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yaBNjTtCxd4" width="853"></iframe><br />
<br />
Being one of the most perfect, detailed and most enchanting video's out there, this piece of pure finesse and class make me just want to rob the Cartier store. Just for the record, I am not admitting any potential crime here, just in case.<br />
<br />
4. Valentino - Valentina<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O0G6TCg92S8" width="853"></iframe><br />

I love how she just walks away from what was probably her own party. That, and Freya is just absolutely adorable.<br />
<br />
5. Yves Saint Laurent - Jazz<br />

YSL holds a special place in my heart, and this 1986 video just confirms why. See for yourself!<br />

Besides the fact that this collection sold out faster than the Birkin Bag, his success is measurable in every single other way. From Elle featuring him on their website to his L.A. African Fashion Week debut, he is not letting anybody look over him. I don't know why, but him giving me an excuse to wear black in the summer means more to me than I'm willing to admit.<br />
Honestly, I'm so proud of the things he is achieving, ever since the <u>Qui Dit Mieux</u> Fashion Show and his America America collection, you can see that he is on his way to greatness. Don't you just love that urban goth-vibe?<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I guess that it is quite appropriate to mention on here -ahum 3 months after the actual facts- that I moved. I would love to explain</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">but I don't really know how I went from lamenting my life in my room in Belgium to living in the country of Siesta and Matadors, but here I am. I did it, the big move-away-from-your-comfort zone, the big adventure, whatever you want to call it. Life grabbed me by the neck and smashed me here, so I decided to make the best out of it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Besides that nobody just packs their stuff and just moves, it felt quite normal. A new start, a new, awkward adventure... I mean I would have taken anything I could get to move away from Belgium. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I got a lot of weird emails (WHY U NO BLOGGIN GuRL... Really Sarah?) and even though there is a perfectly good explanation for that, I don't want to bring up any excuses anymore. The truth is, I've been feeling a bit eww about blogging and the blogosphere all together.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There was a point in my life where I had to make a choice: continue with styling and things fashion-related, or dedicate my time to university and get an education. It was hard, that for sure. Mostly because f</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">inding something in life that you love doing so much that you don’t see time passing, that you can work 14 hours a day and still have the oumph to do it again the next day... It’s hard. I just loved what I did. That and ew, school.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But in contrast, I know there is more to me than fangirling over a piece of fabric and I know that brainless living will make me scratch out my eyes out of frustration. If I hear one more person say that E.E. Cummings is "eh, probably some kind of that's-what-she-said-joke" I will probably smash my head against a wall and kill myself. I had my doubts on fashion and the industry that came with it . I needed some time offline and some intellectual conversation, enjoy the weather and the, ahum, scenery here.</span></div>

Isn't the internet a wonderful place? I noticed that my computer got quite full with "images I love"-folders, so I thought I might as well share them. Or, freely translated, this is me totally procrastinating and avoiding that pile of work on my desk. Enjoy!</div>

I am not even able to express my feelings right now. Can you imagine attending this school? You would literally have access to EVERYTHING in the fashion industry, learn from the best and have the best education possible in this field ! They are opening this January 2013, with a few short courses and a year-long course. I don't think I have to explain the impact of a Condé Nast Diploma on your CV right? </div>

lighter evenings now in full force, it’s far more likely that you’ll find
yourself less inclined to scurry home after work each day. On a hot summer’s
evening, who can resist a quick drink in a beer garden – or several more on a
Friday? But the downside to going out straight from work is that we don’t
always feel ready to party by the time 6pm comes around. Here are some tips on
turning the office look into a bar-worthy outfit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It’s
worth having some things stowed in your desk at work for any last-minute plans.
Keep a pair of going-out shoes under your desk to lift an outfit in an instant,
and always carry your make-up with you so you can retouch at work. If you know
you’re going out after a day at the office, wear simple make up – if any at all
– so you can start more or less from scratch at the end of the day. If you need
a quick fix, simply add a slick of red lipstick (another good staple to keep to
hand) to make any outfit look evening appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Wear
office clothes that can be versatile. For instance, pair a skirt with a pretty
top and a cardigan or jacket. Come evening, simply lose the jacket, add killer
heels, and some dangly earrings or a chunky cuff bracelet for instant glamour. If
you wear trousers to work, choose a pair that you can dress up. Slim-leg,
high-waisted trousers in a neutral colour will look great when paired with some
brightly coloured sky high heels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">If
you wear neutral heels for work, kick them off under the table when the end of the
day comes around and switch them for something more exciting. A good idea is to
leave your work shoes in the office, so you don’t have to carry them around
with you. Wear a pair of comfy shoes or trainers on your commute, so your feet don’t
feel the pain if you’re a fan of stilettos. We </span><a href="http://www.very.co.uk/converse/e/b/4294958330.end"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">love Converse

Even though the weather here is SO bad, I really hope that I can finally wear my summer clothes without getting a cold ... One can dream right ? Unfortunately I won't be having too much time to be lazy this month because I have <b>way</b> more important things to do: the photoshoots keep stacking up but you won't hear me complain AT ALL ! </div>

Ok so if you have me on facebook you might have seen it, but in case you didn't, here is the scenario: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm at the studio in brussels, when my phone rings. I pick up the phone like my <u>moron</u> self : </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Hellluuww"</span></div>

<b><div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was dying in my chair. <b>Tripple seizure and a stroke</b> all at the same time. WHERE did she say she was calling from?? WOW. Turned out that the PR-assistant called for some pieces I had to request for my internship (for a photoshoot we were planning) and she called me to confirm that they were send out that day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It really got me thinking about how this all went so <i><b>fast</b></i> ! A year ago I was graduating and only dreaming about how I wanted my life to be, and today I'm calling the Prada press office and running around town to bring back pieces to the stores... just wow. I feel incredibily blessed. This year is <b>flying</b> by ! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am so digging the <b>Just Cavalli resort 2013</b> collection, I don't think I have enough adjectives to use. Although I preferred the more simple and streamlined pieces of this collection, I feel like the entire collection deserves praise. Inspired by India and it's <b>ethnic decadence</b>, the collection is a tribute to mixing the different perspectives of fashion.<b> Globalization</b>, anyone?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I may have my doubts on mixing neon green and animal prints - let alone combined with an psychedelic explosion of other prints - but it somehow worked.</div>

Sporty glam seems to be everywhere nowadays, and <b>Just Cavalli</b> is no exeption to that. Loose, easy going looks yet <i>tappe à l'oeil, </i>one can simply not pass by unnoticed dressed in this. And <strike>famewhorey</strike> confident as we all are, isn't that what we're going for ?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now please, can we all take a moment and appreciate the <b>maxidress</b> above, it's simply jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I mean jungle-leaf mixed with pantherprint? <i><b><u>In neon green</u></b></i> ? I just can't.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ranging from <b>typical Cavalli-overload</b> to the simplicity and cleanness of the white silhouets, the collection feels <b>schitzofrenic</b> in a really really good way.

Breaking news when I woke up this morning : MMM is the next H&M collab ! After getting the blogophere buzzing about the upcoming Anna Dello Russo collab, they stunned everybody by releasing this to the world. SAY WHUUT.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fashion noobs, let me explain to you why this is an international shock :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
H&M is <b>the </b>go-to label for accessible, fits-all fashion. Maison Martin Margiela <i>not so much</i><b style="font-style: italic;">. </b> You know how they say that some fashion is ment to be art? Well that scentence got MMM signed all over it. A neo-yeti creature, a dress made out out hair combs, they have done it all.</div>

<br />
<br />
SOOO to get this high-fashion brand to announce such a collab leaves me.... <b>curious</b>. How on earth are they going to work with H&M and still keep their identity ? Is the world ready for them ?<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I don't even care if the word is ready, they better get ready RIGHT NOW 'cause it's happening y'all ! I'm so exited to see how it turns out !

Is that time of the year when every student drowns in self-pity and the ultimate torture of a <i>tête-à-tête </i>with their books: <b>Finals</b>. Only the thought of it horrifies me months beforehand, let alone now, when I have no choice but put my beloved laptop aside ( lol no I'm not doing that) and actually focus on marketingstrategies and projectplanning. Then to find out that apparently my posts didn't post themselves really bummed me out. I'm telling ya, don't be impressed by technology until food is downloadable and you can get hologrammes of Harry Styles in your room.</div>

Turns out that the busiest period for my internship is perfectly planned to be during my finals (yay for timing) but also at work they decided to call me every week to come and make money. I'd say <b>fml</b>, but it's not done. <b>I miss my blog y'all ! </b>So to get myself forgiven I have some <b>yummy</b> giveaways planned, anddd loads of good news, yay ! I'm sacrifiying myself to give you a light in these last few almost-but-not-yet weeks before summer. Shoulder tap for moi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So while I perfection the posts with celebration, here some other good news: fashion brand <b>Springfield </b>launches their first cosmetics line ! How can we not be happy with yet another addition to our 'waste my money'-list? </div>

The Spain based brand already had a basic cosmeticsline in both Spain and Portugal, but now they are ready to rock our worlds with the colors of this season: soft pastels mixed with some well-placed fierceness for a look that could smash a hurricane. You known, all while looking innocent.</div>

I'm absolutely in love with this Catrice nailpolish, it's one of their Million Styles Topcoats! Multicolored gorgeous flaky that looks best with a dark ( prefferably black ) background. The orange color is <strong>so incredibly me</strong> that I don't even have words for it. I love orange. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Downer is that it didn't really last though. The <strong>Catrice</strong> topcoat did, but the pronails polish chipped really quick even with a topcoat. Bummer :( The <strong>NYC </strong>one took 3 coats to be <em>really</em> black, so never buying that one again ! <br />
<br />
Overall, I'm sticking to the catrice one for dear life and will have to deal with the pronails one cause I'm absolutely LOVIN the color :O</div>Jaspe H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12334534876030512803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111458706999688268.post-80468704097121278732012-05-27T00:06:00.001+02:002012-05-27T00:15:42.701+02:00[ PERSONAL ] The Food and The Fatty<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest misconception and most persistent prejudice is that fashion girls don't eat. Actually, we do. A lot. Like a LOT LOT. I dare you to find one blogger that won't drop everything to come eat sushi and <i>mousse au chocolat. </i>But, I have come to that awkward stage that my jeans decided to shrink and my beloved bodycon <i>everything</i> won't forgive my tummy for loving food. So my diet starts, more or less forced upon me. I really wish for that mousse au chocolat now... Instead, I torture myself by watching the ridiculous amount of food pictures I've collected. Holla if you can guess where they are taken ! </div>

I only posted a small, ( kinda healthy !!!) selection. Deleted all the rest out of self-preservation... I wanna cry. My body is craving frozen yoghurt and milkshakes, chocolat and grilled cheese... Oh the joy that fries and chicken bring me... Seriously, my body was shocked the day I refused GRILLED CHEESE ! I feel like I cheated my sworn lover with the ugly friend... <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SOIT, back to my diet. I kinda suck BIG TIME at diets, partly because I love food like it's my fiancé, partly because the second I eat a salad my entire family gets an extreme case of hysteria, screaming that the fashion industry has gotten to me. *Sigh* <b><i>#blackpeopledrama.</i></b><br />
<br />
The day I first did a diet, I decided to take it slowly. You know, no snacks between meals and more of that nonsense. I bravely ate a healthy, rich breakfast (oatmeal with honey and raisins, delicious btw) and took off to school. By the time it was <b>11 A.M</b> and I skipped my first snack, I thought I was going to starve to death <b>tragically</b>, people would find me, in coma on the playground.. They would shake their head saying " <i>Oh if only she ate that Kinder Bueno instead of trying to cheat death...</i>" So I was wise and ate the chocolate. Cause seriously, I was not going down in history as the girl who died on the playground. Plus I wasn't dressed for death that day anyway, if I knew I would have at <b>least </b>worn heels.<br />
<br />
Since adulthood brought me the minimum of common sense, I decided to stick to my ( 2 hour lasting) diet, because option n°2 ( <i>burn all my clothes and get everything in a size up</i>) didn't seem to make sense to my mom. Pfft.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Not eating makes me grumpy, but I guess I'll just have to get over it. I shall deal with that like a big girl (pun totally intended), because Forever 21 doesn't sell clothes in size 80.0000. Plus maxi-dresses are totally last season.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><i style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">life is hard y'all !</span></b></i><br />

I remember a time where it was a shame to be "double eyed". <b>At the age of 8</b>, the doctor decided I had to wear glasses, one of the most horrible things that could have happened to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So after the shame and the bullying, I came to the point where I <b>embraced</b> my weirdness ( I was/am quite a dork ). Time passed and <i>le moment est venu</i> to buy new specs. Don't ask me why, but I went for pink frames ( la vie en rose and all) that were out of the ordinary. At the time I was so so exited that I stood out, that I could accept the fact that I wore glasses and so I took a pair that would only emphasize that. Kinda<b> just gave the finger</b> to people who thaught that glasses were dumb. Yes. At that age.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Now, glasses are more fashion than ever. Who am I to not follow fashion right ? So here it is, my quest has started :</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtnBFFPJBbP_coPYZRkx3ANVmjLVNluDtfLzWlKg_OmGofnrUG4XGkwzwYpikHlwSmTCEfF5eGCBw3R62_Sr0ag_0ofSnftfCMcRHaqtoNX-HS1Qgp3QrMn36vmHorvDnXfGbv4sEsuWf/s1600/Caramel+Boots+Looking+Glass++(800x600).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtnBFFPJBbP_coPYZRkx3ANVmjLVNluDtfLzWlKg_OmGofnrUG4XGkwzwYpikHlwSmTCEfF5eGCBw3R62_Sr0ag_0ofSnftfCMcRHaqtoNX-HS1Qgp3QrMn36vmHorvDnXfGbv4sEsuWf/s1600/Caramel+Boots+Looking+Glass++(800x600).jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a check-up I discovered that my view has changed ( for the better, yayy), absolutely perfect moment to get new glasses no ? I made a<b> choice </b>by keeping my glasses and not wear contacts every day: even though I like my face much better with contacts, my glasses are just part of me and I don't plan on "hiding" that. Plus it takes me F-O-R-E-V-E-R to put them on in the morning, time I <b>DON'T </b>have.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the moment I'm eyeballing this huuuuge pair from <b>Ray-Ban</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This particular model is called "<b>The Carribean</b>" and is even larger than the original <b>Wayfarer</b>, more square too. I really really want a bigger pair to wear, because small glasses are just a no-go for me. My eyes look so small and I HATE that. For me it doesn't really matter if there's a brand on it or not, I just want them to be <b>exactly </b>how I want it. That's quite reasonable no ?</div>
<br />
<b><i>Do you wear glasses ? If so, what do you look for ? Or do you prefer wearing contacts everyday?</i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">What it promises:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
" <i>The gentle foaming agents provide a deep cleansing action. Moisturising complex soothes and softens the skin, leaving the skin perfectly cleansed and moisturised. Can also be used as a shaving aid. "</i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Let me check on that:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">~~></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></b>The first time I used this gel, I was surprised how squeeky clean my skin felt. I normally feel the need to put on a very thick moisturizing cream after washing my face, but whenever I use this gel I prefer very light ones, which means that my skin is more moisturised than usual. That's pretty positive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">~~> </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What's also positive is that you don't need to use a lot of it, I actually use around 2-3 pumps for my entire face + neck area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hai darlings ! Can you be so tired that you die of it? I think that's what happening to me, feel like the walking dead forreal! But I need to feed my baby blog, so while I prepare my post on what I just saw at the<b> H&M showroom</b> ( trust me its gorgeous !) I'm going to tell you about something that has been on my mind for a while now</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I showed you in an <a href="http://caramelboots.blogspot.com/2012/02/outfit-orange-gold-vintage-bag.html" target="_blank">earlier post</a> I cut my hair pixie-short in January of this year. At the time I did it because I wanted to do something different with my hair, after years and years of lenght-obssesing. I liked it more than I thaught, even though it was a major adjustment! I was so sick of the weaves, plus I never ever EVER dared to do something crazy with my hair, so I just decided to chop the whole shabang off. Not even realizing what I was getting myself into, but I figured that I would discover that as I progressed.</div>

Cutting my hair that short forced me to take extreme care of it, because you simple can't make a quick bun on a bad hairday. I did some research on how to take proper care of my afro hair and omg, <b>a whole new world opened for me.</b> I learned about the natural hair movement that is totally the ish overseas,which got me thinking a LOT.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing with African, Afro-American and Mixed women is that we <b>relax </b> our hair A LOT. <i>Relaxing is making your naturally curly hair straight, using chemicals that are quite dangerous. Talk about suffering for "beauty" ! This tradition goes wayyyy back, the first relaxer was invented in 1877 !! </i>It basically uncurls your hair for let's say 8 weeks.</div>

^relaxed hair vs natural hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But relaxing your hair is not without risk ! Exessive use can not only <b>burn your skin, </b>but it can cause your hair to just <b>fall the f*** out of your head !! </b>You must be wondering WHY on earth people do that in the first place. Well, it's a LONG story. Like I need to explain apartheid and everything. It all comes down to the pressure to fit in, and look like caucasian (= white) people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways you've probably figured out by now that it's NOT good for your hair OR your scalp to relax it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since a few years, black people started to realize that you don't need to "fit in" to be defined as beautiful, so they started to embrace their natural hair. To get off the relaxer or "<b>creamy crack</b>" is absolutely not something you do overnight ! Like actual drugs, you need time to get used to it, to take special care of yourself and your lifestyle to be successful with the rehab !</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm a white girl to the bone. Bounty. Oreo. Doesn't really matter what you call it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just wasn't raised in the black community, but among the Dutch. Many of you know that I lived in <b>The Netherlands for almost 8 years, </b>in one of the most "villagy" cities EVER and I just didn't know any better. I started relaxing my hair at a very early age ( I think I was about 8 ) simply because I wanted straight hair, like all my Dutch friends. Soon the weaves followed, but mostly because I wanted to experiment with my looks rather than really trying to fit in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways when I started to do my own hair, I noticed that I liked it big, fluffy, curly! I started to wonder why on earth I relaxed my hair only to style it like how it would look <i>without </i> that stuff in my hair ! Fast forward to this year : I decided I needed to embrace my natural hair, <b>behcuz I loves it.</b></div>

It's pretty scary though, I have no idea what I'm getting myself into! But I feel like it's totally worth it. I want to show of my 'fro in a few months, be proud of me and my NATURAL hair. For the moment I've got braids, but I'm soon taking them off so I can trim my relaxed ends and fully dive into this adventure. So SO exited ! I know it won't be easy at all, but there are <i>more than enough</i> natural sista's out there to help me stay motivated and stick to the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Okay no I'm not <strike><span style="font-size: x-small;">yet </span></strike>going, but there is something so bedazzeling, so magical about their circus, I just had to write about it. For those who don't know them ( <b>be ashamed, cultural ignoramus!</b>) Let me wiki that for you:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing with <b>Le Cirque Du Soleil</b> is that they are nothing like a regular circus. Their magic lays in the fact that they took the ancient aspects of classic circus ( acts such as the tumbling acts, the clowns,...) but managed to <b>maintain if not outshine the current standards of entertainment.</b> Nowadays grown people have the attentionspan of a fly, they always want new, better, even more spectacular... How is a regular circus supposed to compete with that ?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well they did it totally right. Cirque Du Soleil manages to stupefy your senses by bringing an astonishing mix of poetry, athletics, magic, art, costumery, music and much more into a performance that will stick with you for a lifetime.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We live in an era where we think that we have seen it all, our cynical minds tell us that such an old concept such as a circus can't amaze us anymore. <b>PLEASE TELL YOUR MIND TO SHUT UP.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this age of mechanical production we don't know what pure craftmanship and art is, what it means to see a live performance,<i><b> to see emotion in a performer's act</b></i>... Cirque Du Soleil blows our rational mind by transporting us to a new time, a new era where masks and costumes express who you are. Where the body is not only functional in matter of keeping us alive, but also an extention of our soul, capable to <b>show us emotions</b> we forgot we could see, let alone express.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>CIrque Du Soleil is about chasing your dreams and make them come true, to embrace one's self by seeing the beauty of movement</b>. Cirque Du Soleil is about a family coming together to surpass the possible into what everybody thought lost, forgotten, impossible. Their show is about showing your passion and communicate the change we would love to see in this world. Their idealism and visualisation of Utopia invite us to dig deeper in ourselves, to examine both our wishes and our values. </div>

Take that 3D cinema ! So much emotion in an act where not a single word is spoken. Just ridiculously amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Alegria </b>is with no doubt my all-time favorite show ever in the history of EVERYTHING. I could watch it over and over again. If I ever get the chance to see this show live I'm gonna die of emotion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know I can get carried away sometimes when I <i style="font-weight: bold;">really</i> love something, but CDS is just pure rainbowmagic and unicornglitter. Don't even get me started on their costumes and make-up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my Marketing class we keep talking about targeting and finding the right audience for a product, so it's safe to say that <b>when a show can move both the illiterate as the highly educated, the young and the old, from all over the world, it means that something was done right</b> no ? Watch the soul-shaking trailer of Alegria here :</div>
