Review Concert Racoon

As promised I will tell you about the concert the 24th of April of Racoon.

It was a wonderful live concert! The band is known to be good as life performers.
And they definitely are! I really would like to go to a next concert!
I really enjoyed it. It's quite a short review, I am not music journalist. Just a lover of different kind of music. 

To me the concert was perfect!

Hello Belles,

how are you?

I hope you are fine.

Today was a very nice day, we bought some plants and flowers for our tiny garden.

tomorrow we will have some family over to celebrate my birthday last Wednesday.

Enjoy the weekend ! 

Fashion shopping!

Yesterday, I went to town quite early with a friend to celebrate King's day. Especially for the street markets, if you go early you will have the best buys. We did! In the morning it wasn't very busy, but at noon the party people were definitely awaken!

That was  a good time to go home, we were tired anyway from shopping from 7.00-13.00  ;-).

I am very happy with my new, 2nd hand clothes! The Karen Millen (top right) bolero was quite special. I always like that brand but it is too expensive for me, this one I got for 10 euro's.

For a while I am rediscovering the 2nd hand clothing shopping. I love it, especially when it's quite cheap (max 20 euro's) but some big brands as Chanel and Louis Vuitton are difficult to get such low prices. 

When I got home, I was pretty tired but satisfied. 

Today I cleaned my wardrobe. I will upload pictures coming week.

King's day

Hello belles,

How are you?

Any plans for the weekend, if you have weekend at all?

In the Netherlands it's King's day tomorrow. We celebrate the king's birthday which is actually the 27th of April but because that's is Sunday we celebrate it this Saturday.

For over 33 years we used to celebrate 'Queens day' the 30th of April.
Late queen Juliana had her birthday the 30th of April. In 1980 her eldest daughter Beatrix was crowned for queen. Her birthday is the 31st of January but she decided to celebrate it the 30th of April.
She has reigned for 33 years.


Last year, 30th of April 2013 her eldest son Willem- Alexander was crowned king. And so became queens day, 30th of April, King's day, (normally) 27th of April.

Next year we will celebrate it Monday the 27th of April.

What happens at King's day? 

There is a party all over the country. And orange is THE color of that day.

The royal family, at least a part of it visits a town or 2 where one prepared some traditional games, performances etc. 

All over the country there a events and flea markets (which start quite early in the morning). Some radio stations organize an event in a city and broadcast from there instead of the studio.

If you ever attend to visit The Netherlands, it's to plan it around the 27th of April so you can take part of this big party day.

Weekend files: Amsterdam

Today, My boyfriend and I went to Amsterdam. It was a big day for fashionistas! The fashion store Forever 21 was opening today😃. 

When we arrived, there was a bit of a queue. So we waited patiently to go in. 

The store had 3 floors and is quite big. 

It was already a bit messy, unfortunately.

The prices are good, average. I do feel like coming back again though. I saw many nice items and it really is affordable. 

Nice to see the body stocking is in fashion again. I also saw them at the Top shop department at the Bijenkorf. 

After visiting some shops we went for drinks at the coffee company. I had a frozen cappuccino. Lovely! 

We were fortunate with the good weather. 

It is a good Saturday so far.

Hello all,

I hope you are doing fine! How was your weekend?

Mine was wonderful, the good weather helped a lot though.

Saturday afternoon I went to a good friend who gave me some nice make up from Hema.


The cream Eye shadow pencil is good, and beautiful, I really liked the nail polish as well. 
The lip gloss you can better use with a colored  lipstick, as you can see, you don't see any color.

Sunday I didn;t do much. Just went into town with my boyfriend and watched tv.

What have you been up to this weekend?
