Oh no she didn’t. NO, I didn’t. I didn’t just call myself a beautiful little fool. I did however quote yet another line by Daisy Buchanan. I swear I’ll stop soon but just promise me you’re going to the movies to see what Gatsby’s all about. Let’s focus on some other stuff now. I took these pictures with the lovely Jilx when she visited me in Amsterdam. We had such a nice time and she was so kind to take some outfit pictures, thanks babydoll.

As for today: I’m in Belgium! Not back for good (I’ll never be back for good) but to celebrate my grandparents. They’ve been married for sixty years!!! SIXTY. Can you believe that? They raised three children, one of which is my dad. Seven grandchildren followed, I’m one of the youngest. They taught me a lot and always took good care of me. I know they’re never going to read this but I wanted to say I love them from the bottom of my heart.

S’agapw Giagia & Papou!

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter… tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Carraway‘s last words and the end of The Great Gatsby. Gatsby? What Gatsby? YES, I’ve been slightly obsessing over this movie (my cousins and sister probably think I’m crazy) and can’t go on without sharing anything that has to do with it. The music, the clothes, the actors, the city… Oh, how I would love to go back to the summer of 1922 to enjoy Gatsby’s perfect irresistible imagination, as Daisy likes to call it. Okay, stop for a second. This movie has gotten in my head!

Let’s talk about the pictures, shall we? Taken by one fine lady P whilst enjoying a lovely weekend in Amsterdam. Wearing my favo jumpsuit by Rihanna for River Island, walking on the comfiest Zara ankle boots and seeing life through a pair of Ray-Ban sunnies. Ah, tout simplement parfait!

Always wondered how I ‘rolled’ over here in Amsterdam. Well, here you go, my new best friend: my small blue bike ^^ The perfect prop to show you my beloved Palladium Pamp hi boots. Although the weather has been dry and sunny for the past few days, I wore these rainproof pair of shoes a couple of times. They are perfect to bike around town as well. I feel both cute and sturdy in them. Cute because they’re flat, sturdy because well… they’re made for durability and comfort on tough terrain.

I think next time, I’m gonna go with the oxford model. Perfect for the summer (in Amsterdam) and matchy matchy with my bike!
