never seen the colors of your eyes

Nothing much to say today, I'm currently thinking about what to bring along to Disneyland Paris in four days (we're going for five days). I'm quite excited, as I'm still in my childhood (mentally) and I just love that you can behave like a child there and nobody thinks you're a complete retard.

Yesterday (or the day before, I forgot) my mum finished a pink shawl for me. It's so nice, it has little pink pearls in it, and I just love the color. It's also soft and has a special shape. I'm guessing this piece is going with me to Paris!

I'm loving this! It's also a good chance to show you my new necklace: the snake one. It reminds me a bit of Slytherin (in the Harry Potter series). I'm quite obsessed, I admit it ;) That's it for now, I don't have much to tell! Only that I'm having a birthday dinner on Saturday with friends. I'll probably bring along my camera as I love social photos (or what to call them).

Oh, and I had this dream last night, I dreamed of Adrien Brody! It was quite nice, as I do think he's very attractive... Yup, it was definitely a dream. If it comes true I wouldn't have any problems with it *sigh*.  

What did you dream about lately?

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a nice day!

Oh, and it's the first day of school today (in Belgium), good luck everybody! And good luck to the other students too, that go back to school soon. I'm going to uni on 17th Sept, still have time to chill.

day 01: introduce yourself

I'm barely posting here because 1) I'm lazy 2) I seem to forget I need to shoot my outfits 3) I'm more obsessed with Livejournal, Tumblr and Twitter and 4) uhmm ... yeah. So to have more activity on here, I'm doing the famously overdone 30 day challenge! Be prepared to read something daily of me, for 30 days long ;)

DAY 01: INTRODUCE YOURSELF
I will try to do this in an interesting way, because typing out myself is surprisingly boring.

My name is Sari ~ it's a South African name and it means flower (random, how fun). I live in Antwerp, Belgium but I want to live in London. My life basically revolves around: photography, fashion, illustration, making graphics with Photoshop, blogging, friends, pets, parents, traveling, studies (life's a struggle hihi), movies and many other things I might forget. I like walking barefoot in wet grass, watching clouds change shape, walking in the rain and rediscovering myself every day. I graduated with a diploma Fine Arts and I'm going to uni soon to study Graphic Arts - Commercial. I have a dream that I get to be a photographer for something like Vogue magazine. Other than that, just having a job later would be nice.

My favourite movie types are: historical, fantasy and Asian. My favourite movie of all time is Dragonheart, I'm also very in love with Red Cliff. My favourite book types are: fantasy, classic children's stories and classics. My favourite authors are Lewis Carroll, Beatrix Potter, JK Rowling, JRR Tolkien, the brothers Grimm and Oscar Wilde. In general I'm obsessive about the Harry Potter fandom and anything related to Disney (I go to Disneyland a lot with my mum♥ and I'm collecting the Disney Classics). I'm also interested in Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology, following that I like movies like The Mummy, Odyssee and Clash of the Titans. (and Hercules of Disney). Some of my favourite "celebrities" are: Marilyn Monroe, Colin Morgan, Sean Connery, Adrien Brody, Nicolas Cage, Gaspard Ulliel and Emma Watson (all of them because of: talent, looks and awesomeness).

My personality you say? I tend to be very childlike and I think some people want to grow up too fast. I'm also very helpful (I think I inheritated that from my dad, he, also, often helps people before helping himself). Many people say I'm nice, polite and funny. Thank you people, I guess it's true :) That's about it actually, if you want to know something, just ask! I'll be happy to answer.

Small off-topic: my shawl is finished! A picture with better quality coming soon (and one that's more interesting).

Thanks for reading, hope you all have a nice day/night!!

where the wild roses grow

Hey everybody! This probably won't be an interesting blog as this is just an outfit post. I haven't been very busy or anything, so not much has happened. My mum did had a surprise for me yesterday, we (as in my parents and myself) went to the mall of Liège (which is almost on the other side of our country...) to go to Primark. It was a bit disappointing, but not bad. I must say, it's very cheap which is always nice and their juwelry is pretty (pics coming soon). I also got two winter coats and boots from my mum aren't they deliciously gorgeous? They're all from New Look. I must say, New Look is close to beating H&M in my list of favourite stores.

And this is the outfit; I wore it on a day out with some friends.

Top H&M; Skirt H&M; Legging H&M; Shoes New Look; Bracelets thrifted; Necklaces Accesorize

(meet my doggy, Benny)

Oh, and my mum finished my shawl! I'm so happy with it, I'm in love with the whool and it's color.

Well, this turned out to be a blog after all (a long one), fancy that.

Hope you all have a nice day and thanks for reading, commenting and subscribing!

when the birds come fly

First of all, thanks for all your lovely comments on my previous post(s). You're all so very nice!

Yesterday was fun. It ended in a shopping day, which is pretty nice. I went to Antwerp with someone I know from school. She's really nice but we never really meet outside of school. And now we did. She asked me to go with her a couple of days ago. It's so nice when someone asks you, I mean, it does mean they like you a bit. And it worked out, it seems that we both have the same taste in accesoires and clothing. We took the same clothes to the fitting rooms, it was quite funny. She also convinced me to take a look inside Accesorize's store. Man, that store is so pretty! So many gorgeous necklaces, I think I'll be visiting that store a lot!

This is what I wore, it's the very first time I wore a legging with a print. So this is very... daring for me. I like it! :)

Belt Veritas; Dress Action; Legging New Look; Shoes New Look; Cardigan H&M; Necklace thrift

Also, my mum finished her shawl. It's so pretty! I got to wear it and it feels so soft. Now she's making one for me, but a longer one so I can wear it all the way around my neck! She's great :)

I loveee it!

And here are the pieces I bought yesterday! I'm so happy with them, and I'm greatly in love with the leggings. Oh, and this is the very first time I bought a nice and decent short!! They never fit me! And now I found one, YAY. The photo's are a bit unflattering to the pieces, but I'm sure I'm wearing these very soon and a lot. Now to think of it, I'm just in love with all of these pieces! And most of them were cheap as hell.

(the orange dress is more yellow than on the photo)

Tomorrow I'm going to the movies with my mum and maybe eat out. We're seeing The Sorcerer's Apprentice, I'm curious if Disney got it right, again. I'm pretty sure they did, it's from the same director as National Treasure and I loved those two movies.

I also added some links to my sidebar. To my Chictopia, Facebook and Twitter. Feel free to add me to those, but if you do, could you send a note about who you are? Just to make you aren't an internet perv ;)

Hope you have a nice day and THANKS for reading!♥
Now I'm going to eat some spaghetti! :)

knitting and wanted

Hey everyone and welcome to my new followers♥! I hope you all like my blog.

Yesterday I decided to pick up knitting again. Now that my mother is so busy making these wonderful knit works, I'm so tempted by doing the same. I'm still a noob when it comes to knitting though, I can only do the basic stitch. But that's enough to make a shawl! I'm doing a  moebius shawl (is that even the right name?), I'm kind of addicted to them but I only own one or two of them. Reason enough to make one, right?! I chose red, matches my nails! ;)

I'm also lurking around at online shops of my favourite stores such as H&M and New Look to see if they have pieces for the fall/winter yet. Since I lost a lot of weight, I don't own any warm clothing that fits. I can't possibly go out in the winter without a jacket and no pants... right? These are some pieces I'm quite drawn to.

Hope you all have a nice day and thanks for reading!
