Life.

Long-time no see!

It's been a while since I last shared a blog post and a lot has happened in that time as well. I don't know why I've decided to start blogging again seeing as nobody reads this, but I find it really interesting and I want to spend more time doing it. I am going to force myself to upload something at least once a week. That might not sound like a lot, but for me it is! I want to carry on posting stuff about life, fashion, make-up and anything I'm interested in or think is important for me.

I've had a lot of thinking time and a lot of worrying time too. I'm a very stressful person and things do to pile up in my head and end up in a big mess swimming around in my brain. It's hard for me to get rid of things I worry about and I'm sure there's no real need to be so stressed all time, but there's not a lot I can do about it. Like some people can't help picking their nose or biting their fingernails, it's almost like a habit now. I didn't use to worry so much when I was little, which is quite logical seeing as I was young and care-free. Still, I wish I could be like that now. I've come to a state of mind where I find myself lost in the thoughts and worries in my brain. Tonight is very good example, I should have finished my homework, I should have done a lot of things (mostly school related) but I just can't face the problem. I just can't be bothered anymore and that's bad. I don't often lack motivation, but I'm really beginning to wonder why the hell I'm doing this course if it makes me bloody worried all the time. It makes me worried thinking about working in a year and a half. The thought of it makes me sick really! What the hell am I actually doing with my life (sorry for the 'sort of' swearing). Do I really want to become a teacher? Is that the goal for the rest of my career? Will I become one of those old, sick of children type teachers when I'm 50-something who only moans about things. Every single answer to those questions is: No, I don't want any of that. But what do I want then?! Leaving secondary school for me was three years ago and I still don't know which direction to go in? I know what I want to do, but why I don't do it... I'm afraid of choosing, afraid of not having a degree, afraid of failing, but I'm not getting very far with passing things at school.

Just, if you're reading this, take a look at your life right now. Are you happy? Because if you're not, find out what it is that is making you un-happy. You have every right to be happy so go and be it! It's easy for me to type it down, but I know I should be doing it too instead of telling others what to do. Remind yourself that you have the total control over everything that you do with your life. That's scary as hell, but can also be very exciting!

Whoop, I'm going to try and be more happy about my life and seriously think about decisions. It's not a bad thing to reflect upon yourself now and again. And at least you can always walk back while on a path and choose a different one ;)

Two Door Cinema Club!

Ello!

Me and my friend Neal.


I’m currently on my way home from a concert in Amsterdam: Two Door Cinema Club!! They were so amazing and they played lots from their album Tourist History which I know every lyric to every song to. They didn't play Cigarettes in the Theatre but it doesn't matter because it was awesome anyway! I was intending on going on my own, but at the last minute my close friend Neal wanted to come along. They had loads of light effects and during 'Eat that up it's good for you' (which is a brilliant song) they released loads of massive balloons in to the air! It was so cool and got the crowd going mental. I was glad I had this opportunity to see them and I had a great time with Neal, both of us making weird noises and dancing around the place like loons. 2013 isn't too bad all the time, and things seem to be going the right way again a bit. I've found out the easiest thing in the world really: being unhappy is a choice. I choose to be happy right now! O.. and sleep, because I’m so tired haha.
Sweet dreams.

Amsterdam and Abercrombie&Fitch



Hello people,


So the weekend is almost over and I don't want to go back to uni tomorrow-boohoo. I was in Amsterdam yesterday and the day before that, because I went to see my family. Now, I study in Amsterdam anyway, but I also have family from my English side who live there so that's pretty cool. I always love being with family and they are just as mental as I am. Me and my younger cousin went to the new Abercrombie&Fitch in Amsterdam. Even though I find their clothing a bit overpriced, I had to have some things from there.. eep! So we went in the store and my god does it smell gorgeous in there. Some people might find it too much, but I really love it! You can even smell it outside of the store it is that strong. Anyways me and my cousin had a good plotter around the place and I tried on a few things. I really wanted a nice white t-shirt and a blue top with three-quarter length sleeves, but I was good and only bought the blue one which was €44,-. I have never spent that much on a simple top like that and I don't think I ever will again hah! It is really nice and comfy so it was worth it to me and I know I will wear it till it's death basically.
We also went to a cute little shop along the Leidsestraat which is also where Abercrombie was. They have my kind off clothes in there, but it is also I'm afraid to say soooo expensive! But I did see this jumper which is oversized and baggy and I had to have it.

Blue top-Abercrombie&Fitch €44

Black jumper-BrandyMelville €52



It was a fun little day and my cousin picked up a few bits and pieces too. We also went to Monki, H&M and Zara. We both got the same underwear from H&M with skulls on them-sassy! But I won’t insert a picture of them, feels a little awkward and I don't think you want to see the things that cover my backside. I'm always happy to go shopping with my cuz, cause she has similar taste in clothes and talks a lot. We get along swell and I'm blessed to have that.
The rest of my Saturday evening was full of merry drinks, family and lots of chitchat. Couldn't ask for more really. I'm a happy bunny today!

Newbie


Hello to anybody who reads this.



My name is Stella and I'm a small 19 year old girl from the Netherlands. I say small because I'm only 1,64 cm. I live with my mum who is English in a house in Gouda - a city with lots of cheese. I've been brought up with lots of old music from the 60s and 70s and I thank my parents for that. I have a fluffy rabbit by the name of Noëlla, because she was born around Christmas and given to me as a present. (Noël means Christmas in French) I really enjoy vintage stuff, anything beauty related and materialistic. I wear Vans everyday of the year, because I can't find any boots I really love. I collect glass animals which was my mums idea in the first place and that's why I called my blog Stellavitrum. Vitrum just means glass in Latin. I will write about beauty, life and fun things on this blog. I'm excited to start!
