Birthdaygirl

My birthday was actually yesterday (April 29th), but I was late home from work and not really able to post anymore. This post, including pictures, is about yesterday.

I went to Eindhoven again, for ilovevintage.nl, and needed to do styling AND model at the same time, as all the models are on holiday right now. My boss already told me I needed to do so last Monday through the telephone, but I didn’t expect to model yesterday already, so it was a bit of a surprise, haha. As I always need to photograph at home all by myself (outfit-shots) it was quite weird to actually being photographed by someone else.

I my opinion it didn’t went tótally great, but I guess OK, though I really hate the fact my hair looked COMPLETELY yellow in the shots and even dirty, though it looks ‘normal’ on the shots I took myself (the outfit-shots in this post). I just washed it the same morning, and at the pictures of the photoshoot it looks like I didn’t wash my hair in 2 weeks.

After the shoot I needed to add new vintage clothing to the webshop for the first time and we were done by 19:30 (7:30PM). The train was delayed, so I got myself some fries as I also hadn’t eaten for a while and catched my train by 20:15 (08:15PM), in Venlo I took the bus by 21:20 (09:20PM) and I was finally home at 21:45 (09:45PM). It indeed takes me some time to travel home, but luckily I don’t mind travelling.

I already called my boyfriend if he still wanted to come, and he did, so we were ‘home’ at the same time. As I’m celebrating my birthday next Friday I didn’t expect him to already bring me a present but he did. He knew I needed a new perfume, and he knew I really liked The One, by Dolce&Gabbana, though it’s not really the cheapest perfume. Still, he bought it for me. Lucky girl.

I celebrated getting this delicious gift by making myself a delicious cocktail. A mix of cassis syrup, Martini, red wodka and energy drink.

    Kvind dit jurkje echt super mooi. Waarom ben ik nog nooit zo’n mooi jurkje tegengekomen in de episode, ik denk dat ik volgende week nog maar eens in de episode binnenspring!;):)

    @Joni: Is wel van de Antwerpse Episode, die is echt supergroot. Ik ben zelf 1.73, maar met hakken gemiddeld 1.83, haha.
    @Cedar: At my own shots it doesn’t look dirty, but on the ones of the photoshoot it does…

  8. Happy birthday, girl!

    Happy birthday! Love your outfit, esp. the tights and the wedges combo!
    My bf gave me The One recently, and I love it, he chose it himself, he does that all the time, and so far I liked every fragrance he bought, even though I’m not sure I would’ve chosen them myself. :)
