Corny crush


How many girls cried when they found out Justin Bieber has a girlfriend? How many ladies are still deeply disappointed that Brat Pitt is taken? And how many boys have a poster of one of the Victoria's Secret angels hanging above their bed? Or fill their picture frames at home with Megan Fox instead of their dear mama?

There is something with being obsessed with celebrities, and crushing on them. What's the point to crush on someone if they don't even know you exist? I never understood people who could go crazy about someone so out of reach. We are all attracted to the fame and just the fantasy of having it all.

I started to think who my celebrity crush could possibly be. I think it's rather silly to crush on celebrities, so I really had to be honest with myself and think which celebrity makes my heart beat a little faster, and makes me want to move to Hollywood... My close friends have probably noticed in the past a little (or a lot) already, but my celebrity crush is definitely Pharrell Williams. I've been crushing on him for years!

This boy, well man actually (he's 38!), has got a sense of style to die for! He's got the classy, the hipster, and the rap superstar looks all covered! His flawless, cute, baby face makes this world wide playa playa actually seem trustworthy and loyal- dangerous bad boy! His body covered in tatts and the bling in the ears makes me love listing to his music even more. His swagga is smooth, relaxed and confident.
He's not tall, but he is a big man, which makes it all a-okay. Pharrell is obviously talented, and understands how to run this business- I like a man that knows his field inside out.

Even though he knows he is desired by many, I am not convinced he is cocky. From what I have seen, and what I can pick up, he is charming and kind.
What more could a lady wish for?

Pharrell, this is my celebrity crush declaration to you. What about diner tonight? Pick me up at 8.00, xoxo.

Little in the middle

I came back on Thursday from Amsterdam. I only stayed a few days, since I finally had to move all my stuff back to Belgium. I wanted to make the last few days count, so made sure that I could say goodbye to Amsterdam with a (somewhat) fulfilled feeling. Too bad that Amsterdam was a bit empty, since most people are on vacation. I will of course come back to visit from time to time, but it won't be the same again. Yet, I had a great time with the people I did get to see in Amsterdam :)

My family came over from Belgium to help me move on Thursday, and within hours my room looked as empty as when I first entered my room. Two big cars were filled up with stuff that was in my little room. I only lived there a year, came with one suitcase from Warsaw to Amsterdam, and managed to leave the place with two full cars!

I have now decided what I want to study the new school year. I have decided to study for high school teacher fashion. I took a test in High school (Euroquest test) were they ask you loads of different questions to try and see which possible future study or profession is suitable for you. They told me I should be a teacher. So if I can combine teacher with my love for fashion, then this is the perfect in between.

I am also looking for a place to live by myself. Even though most students in Belgium live at home during their studies, and my campus is only 20 minutes away from my parents' home, I want to live alone. I think living by yourself grows you up, teaches you essential life lessons, and I also like the freedom and responsibilities that comes along with it. I read in the newspaper that there is only 5% student rooms left, so I better hurry and find some place to live!

On Wednesday I officially start my job, which will take up majority of August. I will work as a sales girl in a clothing store. It pays pretty well for a student job, so I am not complaining. The store were I work is only about 10 minutes away by car from where I live now, and is located on the shopping street of my town.
The day before yesterday, I was walking around on the shopping street with my friend, and I already saw fall collections happily filling up the store windows. Fur, leather, brown, grey and black- the typical fall/winter collection characteristics were already present. Noooo! How upsetting! I haven't even been able to put on a proper bikini this summer, and the stores are already telling us to wrap ourselves up for the cold temperatures to come and haunt us. I still have summer dresses waiting for their public debut! I don't crave a designer bag, a leather jacket or some killer heels no more, I just crave the warm sunny weather...Weather Gods, you heard me. Give me warm, sunny weather. Yes, it's an order.
