The exact glass bottle I was looking for
You might remember them from 10 or 15 years ago, sitting in your parents garden, just some vintage wine bottle. Or lately from one of my favorite Dutch magazines, VT Wonen. There have been many many times that I considered buying one but when you don't even know where to leave it, the VT Wonen prices are quite high. Luckely I don't mind doing some treasure hunting on flea markets or second hand shops and I present you the result!
Dear VT Wonen, eat your heart out! I got my bottle and that for less than 10% of your price. Don't get me wrong, I still adore you though.

Above the knuckle rings
Thanks to Pinterest I run into a lot of cute ideas and items. This is also the place I first saw the above-the-knuckle-ring. Wear it like I do now, with simplicity or like Rihanna here in combination with bigger rings.
Mine are made by Galisfly on Etsy and it is a set of 4 thin gold plated rings. They are not connected so you can wear them in any combination you like, I love it!

Longboarding
A while ago I decided that I wanted to do something new in my spare time, something active. I've considered rollerblades, boring! Old skool rollerskates, really cute but apparently my country is not quite up to speed with my wants on that area.
Then along came longboarding. Due to a friend of mine who already had one and my curiosity for skateboarding. For anyone knowing the movie Lords of Dogtown or anyone who ever saw a cool skatergirl: You know what I mean, right?
Since I'm not the type for tricks but more for cruisin' the skateboard was not the best option, the longboard was. So when my friends gave me some advice and promised me to help me practice, the decision was made.
So since this Monday I am the proud owner of a Globe longboard called 'the plank'. It's a pretty wooden one with aztec print burned into it, as seen above. Even though I bought it I was terrified to start practicing in public because between us, I am rather clumsy. Luckely practice went rather fast and before I knew it, on Wednesday, I was cruisin' around the park with my friend!
It's so much fun and apparently I look like I know what I'm doing because even a skateboarding passenger waved at me with a smile. Yep, longboarding is cool!

DIY pompoms
I know I've said it before, but such a bundle of DIY pompons in combo with lanterns is an instant party. You hardly need anything, it is easy and super cute. Go get some crepe or tissue paper in a fun color, some yarn and a pair of scissors. That really is all! Then follow this easy DIY and in a flash your arrangement is ready.
My idea is just one of many possibillities, there are many more fun examples here.
