This world is insane

To all teenage girls: can somebody explain what's the point in gossiping about lovelifes and troubles of famous people? When I read an article about Kristen Stewart who had cheated on Robert Pattinson, I thought, Jezus fuckin Christ- Adults gossip about other adults, like they are teenage girls, is as annoying as menstruation. All that stupid "Who-goes-with-who"-talk! People should care more about important stuff-like global warming or charity or whatever-instead of being obsessed by someone else's lovelife, because they haven't got one themselves! That's sad. And, do wé have to tell adults that when you hang around with someone of the other sex, doesn't mean you have feelings for each other? I think paparazzi should write about the good things of celebs, and write only the truth, because this is stupid, insane, childish, sad. 

Celebs can be role models, inspirations, and we should respect their dignity. They're human, too. :-) 

There's something new on my blog: on the right, I put lists of Inspiring Things (Movies, Books, Music, People, Mags, Blogs and sites). You can click through for more! (I'll add more cool things to the lists when I found out more cool things or when more cool things spring into my mind). [EDIT: and I added a Playlist on the right side- here you can see where I'm listening to on the moment. If you know a good song, let me know!)

As you see, one of the Mags is L'Officiel (NL). I'm in loooove with that magazine! From the lay-out to the articles to the pictures-it's all perfect (well, almost all: you have to remain critical). It's not about stupid gossips, sex problems and paparazzi pics, it's about fashion, and people, culture and photography. If you don't know L'Officiel yet, you should definitely get a copy in the shop soon! L'Officiel writes much about designers, fashion shows, expensive stuff- although I hate following trends, it's nice to read about it, and inspiring as well. I don't think fashion is a "what-to-wear-this-season"-thing, I think it's more like art. Art with clothes and stuff. When I make art, I'm looking for a perfect combination between colors and forms (think of moodboards). When I style my outfit, I do the same: looking for the perfect combination between clothes, accessories and shoes. I prefer an outfit with lots of stuff in it, not just one pretty thing, but more things that together form a perfect totality. The sort of style always changes, but one thing always remain: when I have finished, I like the result.

These pictures were taken today by my sister:

Clothes are my mom's, shoes are my own, bag's my sister's.

Nail polish! Greenish polish (my sister's), red polish (mine). No bracelets, but hair bands as bracelets!

This bag (Urban Outfitters) was a gift- from me, to my sister. I borrowed it for the shoot.

Red lipstick, blue eyeshadow, black makeup.

Sunglasses (got it from my mom last week)-necklace-earrings (I like to wear one pair in one ear, and another pair in the other ear!) Braid made by my mom.

New things in the air: I wanna learn how to play guitar! I must be insane- I don't know a thing about playing guitar, but I think I'll take the risk. Playing guitar is just so cool- I need to learn it! :-) I'm still working on my new room, I got a new babysit adress so that's good, in 3 weeks I'm starting a new school year, and I've dropped science and Greek, which makes me a more positive person! Oh, and when I'm going to shop next week, I'll buy a lot of new things----> new is GOOD :-)

Soooo, how are you doing?

High socks, high heels

O.K, here's another post on Rockslita (finally). 

These dress and socks were bought in Ibiza (photos taken by Veronique, except from the playcards-picture). 

This week I'm really busy with redecorating my room. I will show you the result (what will possibly take a long time, because I'm not exactly close to the end). 

Hope you enjoy your holiday!

Love, R.

Back from Ibiza

Bye Ibiza sun, hello Dutch rain! I already miss that wonderful holiday. 

Although it was too hot to care about my look - you might think: if fashion is your passion, you have to care about your look every time! Sounds logical, but actually I don't agree, as my passion for fashion means "creating" to me, and 'creating' takes time, patience and perfection, which makes it almost impossible when you're on holiday (mostly because you haven't got many stuff there. Firstly you can't take many stuff in your case when you're flying, secondly you have to manage bringing lots of stuff back), and wearing a boring look doesn't bother if you keep your eyes wide open, mind alert, photocamera in your hand, because in fact, fashion is a brain-thing (in my opinion) (like writing a book, you know; the book is just the result, but it al happens in your brain). 

I did keep my eyes open when I walked down the streets of Ibiza. This is what the Ibiza-look looks like (honestly, I don't like it much, it's too simple). 

• Short, shorter, shortest: everything has to be short, was what I noticed. Not just the-weather-is-hot short, but really short. 
• Neon colors. And mostly printed-shirts in neon colors. 
• You are never misdressed if you wear white in Ibiza. 
• Shoes: cute sandals or boots, both to wear under shorts. Heels: high. That's more likeable. 
• Hats. Just hats.
• HIPPIE-style! I love hippies. I'm going to tell you more about hippies soon. Beware.

The thing is: Ibiza-style might be simple, but it looked incredibly cool if the whole crowd is wearing the samen kind of style. And some people wore inspiring outfits. For fashion, I'd rather go to London. It might be more rainy over there, the streetfashion is astonishing.

Pictures: Nightlife Ibiza (I love NEON like in these pictures):

Ibiza is known for the Hippy Markets. Here comes a little History. If you don't like the subject, remember: fashion is history.
After World War II, our economy was bad. We had to build it all up again. People here lived very, very frugal. They worked very hard and long. Next to the industry, the mechanization, and the fact that the prices and wages didn't increase, the hardworking people made the economy better. There was a mentality that children were obedient to their parents, especially their father, who was obedient to his boss. In 1956 (I don't know why, but I just can't forget that year) there was the first wage increase. The prosperity grew.
But in the sixties something changed: because of the prosperity, the society changed. The grown-ups don't bother in this story anymore. It were the youngsters who do: in these times, the youth didn't want to listen to the old people anymore. This led to a subculture, the youth culture, or the protest generation. They had their own music, hair styles, fashion, their own values and normes and they wanted to participate in decisions. One of those youth cultures were the hippies.  "Make love, no war", music, flowerpower, peace - hippies are cool. And most important: the protest generation made a way free for us.
(Once you will be glad you know this all).
(I just like to tell that story. I do it all the time).

Bob Dylan sang about those "changing" times: The Times They Are Changing


Hippies in these days:

At the Hippy Market, cool hippies making music.

My dad said this dude might sitting here since the first Hippy Market in the '60s. That makes him even more fascinating. He's that thin because some hippies try to get in higher realities by eating little.

J & me at a small Hippy Market.

I love extraordinary cars! I love to take pictures of them. I spotted these cars in Ibiza (the second one is nice to use for a roadtrip. I'm already making plans).

Wow, I'm going to quit, it's 2:00 am, I'm hella tired. You can expect more post these days, since I DID SHOP in Ibiza. Goodnight!

Peace,
R. Green

Green coat

Finally I've got a green coat, which I wanted for a long time, and I'm already in love with it. 

This will be my last post for three weeks: first, I'm going on schoolcamp (Hurra.) and when I return home, I'm going straight to Ibiza with my parents, my sister and her best friend, and John.

The cap was bought two years ago in a cheap shop (it costet two euros). It's hard to see but I wear rings, to make this tomboy outfit more girly. The shoes are my brother-in-laws (like ten sizes too big for me). The silver watch you see below is my dads.

The green coats can do more: this is my outfit I wore to school today. More girly than my previous outfit, because of my heels, my top and my new bag. To watch my shoes more closely, click here. 

It's also a simpler outfit (schooloutfit, you know, no time to optimize it). It would look more perfect with little bracelets on my right arm, big earrings, with an inconspicuous color, like black, gold or silver. Perhaps some little rings to finish it off. 

HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY!

Library

When I went to secondary school, Hermione Granger was my role model. In fact she still is. Because of her, the library became the place to be - becoming smarter was cool ("I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful." - Natalie Portman) - my natural love for books grew. Of course, a few years later, when creativity became more important than intelligence, studying became less fun. Still I'm grateful to her, since she taught me how to motivate myself to study. 

A few weeks earlier, I was at an University, and I spotted a lot of different people, all with their own style. This outfit is inspired by one of those students there (blue blazer is my mum's, socks are my dad's, just like the bookcase, and the old camera was my granddad's). It's also a secret homage to the library, which is truly a beautiful place with all his books. And because I spent the whole week there. This seems a good end of this schoolyear to me.

Happy holidays! xxx Rosalie

PS. I bought a domain, so my blog can be found on www.rockslita.com from now! 

Picture party

Hello girls, 

Haven't post for a long time! "I was very busy" is my excuse, of course. That doesn't mean I forgot my blog. Inspiration keeps me busy the whole day. Especially pictures, which are a great inspiration. I was making plans for a new post this week and when my cousine asked me "Don't you blog anymore?" I realized it was time to post. I put some pictures together I found these days. Enjoy and get inspired! 

I love WIGS. I love the thought of changing your hair, whenever you want, and it isn't permanent. You can try all funny, ugly, pretty, weird hairstyles without keeping it! That's amazing. I'm crying for months that I need to buy a cool wig (I was thinking about blue or pink). I should put it on my To Buy-list.

In the pictures above you see people with clothes that appeal to me. Like the blue fur coat in the first picture. I have been looking for a fakefur coat since I was in London! In London, a lot of girls wear fake fur coates, and I thought: I need one, too. So, if someone knows were I can buy one, a pretty one, I would like to hear. The sweater in the second is great. I'm really into patterns lately. It's kinda hippie, I like that. And the red shoes with grey socks in the third are, don't you think, just amazing? I also love the red skirt with the white thing on it. Great photography, too. I love the outfit of the snogging girl. I love brown. I used to hate that color, because I thought I looked like a brownie if I'd wear brown. 

Oh those cowboy boats! I want those!!! The striped sweater, and the glasses, are cool. I love braids, but my motor skills are not that good, unfortunately - one of my friends is pretty good in making braids, she likes to braid my hair, and I like my hair braided. So it's a good deal. And, the green thing that girl on the bike wears, is really cool. Again patterns!

These girls wear amazing things, too. A denim jacket (and badges), heats, sunglasses, and other clothes: I love them all. I'm looking for lovely hats and cute caps, it's already on my To Buy-list. That round glasses, I have one myself, and it's my favorite. I like to wear it inside, too. Ok, that's a lie. I wear them inside by accident, because they don't stop many light. The multicolored jacket in the fourth picture is soooooo cool! And her brown belt. I love brown belts. The last one is totally stylish. I love her haircolor. In secret, I'm in love with red hair. I wish I had red hair! It's really pretty (think: Bonnie Wright, Emma Stone, etc.)

My holiday starts in a week, OOH YEAHHH! Finally! Just one week with eleven tests, and than I'm Done! I made lots of plans for my blog. You'll know as first about if you follow me on twitter; @rockslita! Now we're talking about twitter: my sister and I created a new twitter account: @HarryP3107, which is a Harry Potter account. You should follow us! 

Lots of Love,

Nostalgia

Today's look was inspired by my mum's closet and my desperate desire for the nineteenth century. All my favorite books are set in the 19th century! Living there doesn't seem attractive to me, because, as a feminist, I would feel locked up. Women were very undervalued. But I just LOVE the politeness in that time, and the dresses the women wore (I told you about 19th century dresses before, here), the good conversations, which are rare now, and a lot more - I have read Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen the other day, and I realized what the 21th century is missing. 

Anyway - back to my outfit. I found this really cute skirt in my mum's closet and the blouse and necklace are also hers. My shoes, however, are brand new. I bought them yesterday by Sacha. I actually was looking for white, low dr. Marten's, but I couldn't find them anyway, and I saw these pretties, and it was love on first side. Oh I have to admit I'm TOTALLY addicted to shoes! I have too much shoes, I almost feel ashamed! Well, almost - you only live once, right? 

So, I told you my outfit was inspired by my books (about books, I aim to read the hundred best books in the world. I've read three of them and I'm reading the fourth book right now, I'm wondering if I'll ever finish the list!) - the skirts women wore earlier, were much longer of course. It just made me think of that time. I sound nostalgic. I'm just in love with that century! 

This picture reminds me of Japan, I don't know why. I love Japan, I hope I'll be there one day!

You might think: why the hell is she wearing TWO watches?! Have you ever asked yourself why you are wearing just one? No? You should! When I came to school with two watches at once, a lot of people were asking me why. I gave them all the same answers: why shouldn't I? Why are you wearing just one? and: if all the people in this room were wearing two or three watches, it would be strange if you wore just one! Am I right? It's kinda philosophical. 

My watches look like each other, and the funny fact is: the one beneath is a gift of J and the other one is my mum's - new and old, you know - it's so funny my mum used to wear a watch that looks almost exactly like mine! 

Today I didn't do much interesting, but tomorrow I'm visiting my cousine because it's her birthday today! Congrats, dear Anouk! Tomorrow is also the day J and I are one and a half year together (oh people might say: "such a long time! well done, well done!" and I am like: "1,5 year? My god, that's impossible short! It feels like we're together for twenty years!"). We celebrated it Thursday, when we went to the beach, it was a wonderful day. (yes, I called it "perfect" on twitter, for a perfectionista it's pretty amazing to call something "perfect", but it truly was! You should follow me on twitter: @rockslita).

I'm curious to your opinon about my outfit, you should let me know in a comment!
