Pretty Little Liars

Tonight on ABC will return one of my favorite television programs: Pretty Little Liars! I'm seeing the show from the beginning and I've never missed an episode! I don't understand why it's never sold to Holland, while it's such a succes in America and other countries. But it's not really a big deal for me to watch it on internet without the subs. I love it, that's important :) I hope it's worth the waiting. Like I said, I will not be able to watch tonight, but I am tomorrow! The question who "A" is gets closer and closer. The writers always seems to find a way to mislead you. That's what I like about it, it's thrilling and you want to know who did it!

So, will you be watching tonight?

Colour Catch #1: Lime and Turquoise

There goes my promise to you that I would blog everyday! My apologies. This is the last blog of this year. And also a new column: Colour Catch! I'm a big fan of heavy colours, but I like the pastels and the regullary black and white as well. I (hopefully) show you every month a photo of an interior with colours that inspires me, cause of the combination or because it's trending in fashion world.

We begin with Lime green and Turquoise. Many clothes of mine are turquoise, cause it's a colour I wear often and feel comfortable in it. Lime was back in 2005 a very popular colour in the interior scene. I found this photo and saw the outstanding walls what got my attention. Now I was curious in how far I could find photos of clothing and accessories in that colour combination. This was quite easy actually. In no time I had found the perfect shoes and the most beautiful neckless I've ever seen!

Come take a look!





At last I want to wish you all a stunning New Years Eve and a great and healthy 2012! I can't believe 2011 is over in a few hours. What a strange idea, isn't it?? Well, have a nice evening (don't drink too much champagne and be careful with firework! ;-)

Lots of love,

Lisa

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!

Inside Design #3: Belsize House

Welcome to a new Inside Design! My new monthly column where we take a sneak peek of the interior design and architecture of houses and apartments, in the make or finished and for sale.

I have seen this house a few weeks ago but I knew immediately that I would use this for Inside Design. This interior is special cause of the mix modern/classic. You see this back into the floor (in Dutch we call this a "visgraat" aka fishbone) and the chimney(s). I love the authentic walls and ceiling. And I always wanted a house with a bay window. When we look at the (open)kitchen we see an Italian well defined way of cooking. What also noticed me was a half round oak door in the living room (never seen that before!) And last but not least, the huge colourful couch and the hairy pink chair (I tought it was made by a Dutch designer, but I'm not sure). Especially the couch is so cool in my opinion! You don't need a bed anymore!

This beautiful spacious and very light apartment is for sale in NW Leafy London. So call up your real estate agent and make an appointment to visit this place!
