With only a couple of 2010 hours left, I figured I could do some new years resolutions. What was 2010 for you like? And what have you girls/guys been up to the last couple of days? Having a break as well? I studied for my new job as a cabin attendant and took some time off. I think I'm ready for this new upcomming year and made some new years resolutions:
* Learning and doing everything to pass my exams for my new job.
* Not shopping too much.
* When I'm going to shop, I will look for quality over quantity.
* Staying positive
* I really want to go on holiday in 2011.
What are your new year's resolutions? Have some?

And I want to thank all of you for the support and great comments in 2010. Already 312 followers, that's so amazing! I want to thank each and every one of you and hope you will continue reading my blog. Without all of you this blog wouldn't have grown that fast. I'm so proud! I also want to put a lot more effort to the fashion moodboard in 2011. So keep reading!

Outfit:
Jeans - Zara
Sneakers - H&M
Scarf - Action
Long cardigan - Lady sting
Top - Lady sting
Leather jacket - h&m

Inspiration






I haven't blogged for a week! And lots of things changed, for example the whole dutch landscape! We have about 20cm of snow here, which I have never seen before! It's still freezing outside and the snow is giving many people a difficult time. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but when you need to work it kind of sucks. Public transport completely stopped running and the airport (where I work) is a complete mess! I'm so glad I have 7(!) days off! After working for 8 fulltime days in a row, on a chaotic airport with people crying, yelling and many delays, I am now chilling down. How about you? Did your holiday started already?

Imagine how many stories are hidden under just one smile

Stay dreamy!

Still feeling sick. Though after 10 hours of sleep I decided to dress up a bit to show you my beloved boots. I bought them last year and I kind of forgot about them. How the hell did I let that happen right? Aren't they wonderfull? Anyway, I still want to have some nice black ones too. I think about going to a vintage market as soon as I have some time off.

Boots - pieces 89,95
Blazer - primark 9,95

And......I've been tagged by the lovely fashionablepris, check out her blog! So here we go:

Why did I create my blog?
Spending most of my time reading blogs from other fashionista's, I decided to give it a try, and started my own blog about fashion and interior. Unfortunatly, after a year of hard work, I started to write less, and in the end not writing anymore at all. That was a year ago. But the feeling to blog never disappeared, so last summer I decided to start a new blog, based on a budget. With the fashion moodboard, I want to show others how and where you can buy amazing items when you don't have a huge budget.

What Kind of blogs do I follow?
Blogs from really normal girls. I avoid the 'popular' bloggers, because I can't relate to them, and besides that I hate the commercial and sponsor overload on some of those blogs. Besides stylescrapbook, I love her blog. She's the best. Anyway, the other blogs I visit daily are from girls who don't have a huge budget too. I love too see how they buy and tailor clothes from charity shops and thriftstores. I'm planning on making a post about my favorite blogs soon, so stay tuned :)

Favourite Make Up brand?
I use drugstore makeup. I kind off like them all, but I own a lot of l'oreal things. And I love maxfactors foundation. They have the perfect shade for my very pale skin :)

Favourite Clothing Brand?
I love to shop at h&m. Unfortunately the quality isn't always that good, but they always have some nice items. I really like their divided collection.

Your indispensable makeup product?
I never leave my house without mascara. At this moment, I'm using a really cheap one from etos (drugstore in the netherlands). And I'm really pleased with it.

Your Favourite Colour
Depends on my mood. But I love pastels when it comes to interior.

Your Perfume
I love the new scent by DKNY, pure. Most of the time I go for 'soft' scents.

My Favourite Film
500 days of summer for sure! I've seen that movie over and over again, and I still love it. I think I've seen it about 12 times now. Actually, I might go and see it again tonight, hehe.

Photobucket

What country would you like to visit and why?
I definitly want to go to the united states! Because I really want to go to New York!

Write the last question and answer it yourself
Erm.... hard one. Well, why do I shop in thriftstores? Because I love to have many things for a small amount of money :)

I pass these questions on to Michelle from Miss Independent!

By the way; do you like the new layout? I promise I stick with this ones. I love it.

Probably I'm working, but I hope to have one evening off for a family dinner.

First of all I want to share with you that I've got the job! This afternoon I've got a phonecall with the exciting news that I'm hired. My training will start somewhere around january/february 2011! I couldn't be more happy!

And I just want to show you really quickly my 'new' faux fur coat which I bought a while ago at a fleamarket for only 7 euros. I love it, it keeps me nice and warm during this way too cold season! The pictures were taken on the same day as the previous post, so that's why you see the same outfit underneath the coat. And the snow is already gone unfortunatly.

Jeans - Only
Cape - H&M
Top - H&M
Fake ugg boots

And a little quote of the day:
Life is too short not to wear beautiful things

Have a great weekend!

STEWARDESS: Waarom

Photobucket
Well hello dear readers!

Just a quick and very personal update. I figured it might be fun to tell you something about my work. From now on -if you think it's interesting, please let me know- I will keep you posted on my search for my dream job: becoming a cabin attendant. Let me tell you upfront I already work A LOT!

At this moment I have two jobs: as a ground stewardess and one at my previous school to help them out with the traineeships for the students. I graduated in aviation services a couple of months ago and am now ready to work fulltime. Unfortunately, due to the economic crisis, it's quite difficult to find a fulltime job at this moment. For a long period of time, it was impossible to apply for a job as cabin attendant, simple because there were no vacancies for cabin attendants in the Netherlands. That's why, after graduating, I continued working as a ground stewardess. I work for a well known dutch airline and I will ask you in advance NOT to name the company I work for. If you do, I need to remove your comment unfortunately. But I can't work fulltime on the ground either, so I was forced to take another job and combine the two.

Eventhough I do like both of my jobs, it's kind of hard too. I have to pay a lot of tax on one job, not an ideal situation. Ever since I was a little girl I was my ultimate goal to become a cabin attendant. I really like the hospitality industry and I'm obsessed with airplanes. Good combination, isn't it?

And recently the dutch airlines companies started hiring again! I immediately applied and I had my interview yesterday. It was really tough! I had to make an English test (yes, I still need to practise a lot of english, I know) and an english oral exam which was quite difficult as well. After that, I had a really difficult dutch chat about my motivation. And I passed the first round of the interview! The second round started later that afternoon and that was another 45min chat in Dutch. And in two weeks from now on, I know if I will become a cabin attendant or not. I keep you posted!

AND PLEASE, ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT NAME THE AIRLINE COMPANY I'M WORKING/APPLYING FOR.
