Summer Music

We all love summer: Sunshine, vacation, lots of time to eat icecream and see your friends. However, it seems like my lovely country has forgotten that it is supposed to be summer: the last week has been nothing but rain. But ofcourse, we won't let the wheather spoil this wonderful season!

To get myself into summermood anyway, I listen to Radio 6. They broadcast an awesome mix of sunny jazz, world music and other sounds that make you forget the bad wheather! So start your own summer!

The comments are in Dutch, but it's all about the music anyway! Hope you enjoy it, guys, and remember, at least it's not snowing!

Love,

I'm back!

Yes, it has been a while since I posted anything, but I have an excuse! For the last 6 months, I have been travelling all around the world with non profit youth organisation Up With People! Together with 100 amazing young people from 21 different countries, I have done community service in a.o. the US, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Mexico. And in every city we visited, we performed a multi cultural show full of music and dances from all over the world! It was an incredible and unforgettable experience.

During these six months, I've got to know so many new people: The people I travelled with, but also the amazing host families that I stayed with. They are the ones that made my trip so wonderful. And as I returned home, met my old friends that I had missed so much, and started Skyping with my fellow travellers, I realised that that is what makes life truly awesome: Friends.

It sounds obvious, but do you really spend enough time with your friends? They are the ones that make you laugh, the ones that are always there when you are sad, the ones that take you out when they see you feel lonely... When was the last time you told your friends that you loved them? Gave them a big big hug?

Fortunately, summer is the perfect time to spend time with your friends! Organise a big dinner for all your friends (you don't even have to make something difficult, just a big pan of pasta and salad and ,ofcourse, lots of wine!), have a picnic in the park, organise a girls movie and facial night, or spend an entire day watching cheesy movies.

So next time you're sitting in front of your laptop by yourself, you'll know who to invite! And you'll see, your friends will really make your day!

And finally, to all my friends who read this: Thank you for making my life so AWESOME!

Love,

Jinte

I know this is not supposed to be a fashion blog, I really want to share a few of my favourite fashion blogs from others... One of those is http://www.vanessajackman.blogspot.com/. She takes amazing photos of everyone in the fashion industry.

I especially love the first picture... I wish it wasn't so cold, so I could wear all those nice summer clothes and feel the sun on my skin again....

New blog!

Dear readerrrs,

Just wanted to inform you that I've started a new blog (beside this one ofcouse)!!!

http://www.boys-with-style.blogspot.com/

Because I didn't want to be girl number gazillion to start a fashion blog for girls, but really enjoy shopping with boys and watching stylish men, I decided to start my own fashionblog for boys! And girls who, like me, love to steal some men's clothing for themselves ofcourse....

So go check it, and tell me what you think! And boys.... I'm still looking for some stylish co-editors who will help me with this blog, so please send me an e-mail if you're interested!!

Love,
Jinte

Glow 2010

So I went to Glow yesterday! For half an hour.... I don't think it has ever rained this much in one evening!
The photography club that I was supposted to go with didn't even go, because the rain would destroy their cameras, but I, being a Tough Guy and all, decided to go anyway. And have I known that! I don't think there was a dry place left on my body...

But I promised you to show some pictures, so I made some. All for my readers! They aren't as good as the ones I made last year, but hey, IT WAS RAINING!!! Hope you enjoy them anyway!

Love, Jinte

Glow

Right after the Dutch Design Week we have another big event in Eindhoven. Glow. It's all about light!
Since it immediately turns dark at four, there is enough opportunity for the city to show her most beautiful places, fully decorated with the coolest creations made of laser, led or whatever other kind of light source...

I'm planning on checking it out this week, probably on thursday... It is such a great opportunity to easily take the cooles pictures! Just to get you in the mood to do something creative this week as well, I will post some of the pictures that I took at Glow two years ago...



Oehh, I hope to make even better ones this year! And ofcourse I'll show them here...

Perhaps I'll see you at Glow!

Love, Jinte

Be stupid!

Remember how much I loved the Diesel Campaign "Be stupid!" and how I talked about getting some more "stupid" into my life?

Turns out I don't have any excuses any more. Diesel has invited everyone to send in their own "Be stupid!" posters. And guess what... You can win  €500 shopping money! Want, want, want... Especially since I just made shorts out of my favourite Diesel jeans (why? WHY?)...

So the only thing I have to do is find some really good and stupid ideas as to what to photograph, and some partners in crime. Anyone interested?
