Camera

First of all: thank you all for your reactions! It's nice to know people are actually visiting and reading my blog ;)

In answer to your questions: I'm still not sure which camera I'm getting. I would love to get a semi-professional camera, but since I tend to drop my camera a lot, that's not a good idea... On top of that, I couldn't afford it anyway (I'm already saving money to go to London and New York, so I can't afford to make big expenses right now) and I don't think my parents are willing to spend that much on a camera for me.

But there's this pretty cheap store in Belgium that sell different things every week (Aldi, voor mijn lieve landgenootjes). They sell electronics every now and then and I've always heard that the quality of those electronics is pretty good. Funny enough, they're selling cameras next week (the brand is called Medion) including 2GB memory card, carrying bag (which I've also wanted for a while) and 2 batteries. I asked my dad if he wanted to check the internet tomorrow to see if it's a good camera, he knows more about that stuff than I do.
Of course, even if I get this one for my birthday, there's a pretty good chance they're gonna make me wait to open the box until my birthday. We'll see.

UPDATE: my dad just took a look at the information about the camera on the internet, looks good to him, so I'll probably get that one.
It's the Medion MD 86276.
# 14.0 megapixels
# 3" lcd-colour screen
# 3 x optic zoom, 5 x digital zoom
# with camerafunction (audio & video)
# incl. 2 GB SD memory card
# incl. 2 Li-ion batteries
# incl bag, USB cable, software cd, etc.

Short message

As I mentioned before: I dropped my camera (again) and it's not working anymore. Before I dropped it, however, I noticed the quality of the pictures was getting worse by the day. Even if my dad can fix my camera, the problem with the quality will probably remain. I talked about it with my mom and we decided that I get to pick out a new camera for my birthday next month. Unfortunately, this means that until then, I probably won't post a lot of pictures of my outfits or things I've bought (maybe a few crappy webcam-pictures). So: sorry for that! I'll make up for it with a huge amount of photo's when I have my new camera!

Diane Birch

An article on Welikefashion just brought Diane Birch to my attention (click here to read the article). I only knew one of her songs, "Valentino", which I don't particularly like. But after doing some reasearch, I must admit: she is AMAZING! I really like her other songs and I absolutely adore her style! Here are some of my favourite pictures:

Quick shoplog

Hello!

Today I unexpectedly had a little time to do some shopping. I bought a a white long-sleeved blouse (8€), a black cardigan (also 8€; I allready had a black cardigan with 3/4 sleeves, this one has long sleeves) and a grey hoodie (with zipper, 15€). All of which I really needed. I'm trying to save some money, so I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything I don't really need.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures...I was making outfit pictures yesterday and dropped my camera (fourth time...). It's not working anymore... I'm gonna see if I can get my dad to fix it for me (last time I broke my camera, he told me he wouldn't fix it anymore if I dropped it again, but I'm hoping he forgot about that).

On another subject: I've recently discovered quite a few new blogs and added them to my list. They're certainly worth checking out!

Gestuz

Some pictures of the new Gestuz campaign.







I especially love the middle picture. I'd wear that outfit as is.

Outfit of the day + new necklace and bracelet











Skinny jeans (H&M), black top (H&M), necklace (new, gift from my grandmother). I was wearing black allstars with this. Simple outfit for a day of work.





Bracelet I made myself :) It's not perfect, but I kind of like it that way. It's pretty big though (I have to wear it on my upper arm, or I'll lose it), so I don't think I'll wear it that often. But it was fun to make :)

First pedicure

Yesterday, I had my first pedicure. There was this special offer in a magazine (Flair, which I only by when they have offers like this), for a pedicure for only 10€. So I went with my mom. We choose a place nearby, in Aalst (for my beautiful Belgian people: this is the site, if you're interested). It was called MarNis beauty and wellness. It was a lovely house and the people were friendly but professional. Both my mom and I decided we were defenitely coming back! I took a look at their prices, they're pretty cheap compared to other places.
I forgot to take a before-picture, but this was how my toes looked after the pedicure. I chose a nice copper colour (my mom chose flashy purple).
