Happy 4th of July!

What is a better way to celebrate this beautiful day than with good music?! Here you go, one of my favourite songs at the moment and perfect for a day like this! :)

We got tickets!

Yes! My sister and I finally go to Lowlands this year! :D This a great festival in the Summer (like Rock Werchter in Belgium and Roskilde in Denmark) We saw the show for the first time (about 2 years ago) live on television. That was the period we become acquainted with alternative music. Unfortunately, Amber was too young back then, and last year we were too late buying the tickets (it was sold out in 2 hours!) But almost an hour ago, me, my mom and Amber were sitting beside my computer and watched the time ticking away. There was a very long row, but after a half and hour waiting we were in. Gosh, I'm so happy! I still can't believe it! This will be such an experience for me! I love festivals and this is one I definitely had to be in my life.

When the time is there (17, 18 and the 19th of August) I will be in Biddinghuizen and enjoying the incredible performances of small and huge bands all over the world :) And when I'm back you definitely gonna read my story here. With lots of pictures and extensive reports!

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

The Music List of 2011

Hello Lovelies!

Hope you had an awesome Christmas! I certainly had! First day: we had an amazing dinner with my family. My uncle is a great cook and always makes special things we never eat. Yesterday (Boxing Day) were we in Amsterdam for a walk. I love Amsterdam! There's so much you can see and discover! At home we had a marvelous dinner and sang on my new Wii Game (U-Sing). For those who didn't know: I love singing! And I know I'm not the best singer in the world, I just like to do it for fun :)

Ok, that was Christmas 2011. During my Christmas Break I'll try to blog everyday, but I might get addicted to the Wii and my new Sims 3 game as well ;-) Here's the first blog of today!

I had such a great year, when we talk about music, I have been to lots of concerts and festivals and discovered so many new bands and talented artists! And now I would love to introduce to you: LISA's top music list of 2011! I'll show you the 10 best albums of this year, the 5 best songs, best male, best female and best new band of 2011! You can compare it with the MTV Awards besides I stay in the indie rock scene. So, let's get started! Oh, and if you don't see your favourite band please give me a call and tell me why that band or record has got to be on that list!

Walk-in Closets

Who doesn't want to have a beautiful walk-in closet? It's a dream of many many girls. Well, it's also one of mines! A second room next to your bedroom where all your clothing, accessories, bags and shoes are. Isn't that amazing?! For me, it sounds like music in my ears :) What about you? Do you hear the music? Look at these photos, the one even more beautiful than the other.
